sunny day at Launceston City Park..  family and friends..  April 2009

Chern is showing off her 

'bump' with the Rebers in Jakarta.

behind the hotel is a area full of very large homes.  this is near the ocean.   this home is one of them..   pretty much 'over the top' in regards to statues and animals and a temple on the roof..   big golden dome.       not the most subtle home I have ever seen....

staff gathering at the Aston Marina.  

view from a balcony of the hotel.   one of the main toll roads ..  heads towards the airport or the city centre of jakarta.  underneath is one of the canals...

view of the marina..  mix of private boats and some vessels that go out to "Pulau Seribu"  or the thousand islands.    the water comes from the canals of jakarta, used for drainage.  very very poluted and black.  or black/green..  hard to describe...  

view from hotel balcony to one of the 3 pools.   next is towerB.

rear view of the complex.  tower B,C and D are residences, tower A is the hotel:  Aston Marina.    we opened 1st November 2008.   we are next the the Marina at Ancol.  Indonesia's biggest Theme park.
