The Dark Cracks of Kemang - The Bajaj Boys in Indonesia

"That old childhood saying 'pick what you want from the tree of life' simply not working anymore? Becoming a foreigner in Indonesia might be as good a stab at something new and rewarding, as anything..."

Armed with a teaching contract, some poems, and a guitar-playing buddy, Roberts discovers a potentially life-changing experience in 2013. And so the Bajaj Boys make themselves at home.

Indonesia is revealed as a challenging but welcoming land of 'instant millionaires', 'beautiful rubbish', abundant romance, powerful religion, and unnerving history.

Nasi goreng, alcohol, cigarettes, bajajs, motorbikes, classrooms, a gentlemen's club, poetry gigs, wild animals, and electrical storms weave together, as the dark cracks of Kemang open.
