But no one said an experience experience had to be easy to be enjoyable, as Judy Pierce discovered on her two-year trip to the foreign land. "Their culture is completely completely different from ours," explained the Newcastle Newcastle resident, adding that, "It was hard to get used to the change at first." Of course Mrs. Pierce, who travelled to Borneo in 1979 with her husband and three boys, did eventually grow accustomed to the Indonesian Indonesian way of life and drew great pleasure from photographing the various aspects of their culture. "Much of my time was spent taking pictures of the interesting people, their living conditions and their rituals." explained Judy. "I wanted to remember the trip and share it with friends and family when we returned." Her prints reveal the stark reality of the Malaysian Malaysian way of life, each illustrating illustrating a particular message message in brilliant color and striking black and white shots. In fact to look at Judy's work, which is now on exhibit at the Newcastle Visual Arts Centre, one would think her a professional professional artist rather than an interested amateur taking pictures purely for the sake of enjoyment. "I didn't really intend to show my photos until after I came back to Newcastle and joined a photo club where I learned to develop my own film." said Mrs. Pierce. "When the pictures were developed I compared them to the work of professional professional photographers and realized that mine were just as good." she added. "The club gave me confidence to show my pictures." A native of Nova Scotia, Judy was intrigued by the open markets, the barter system of buying and selling, selling, and the favorite pastimes pastimes of the town's people. Most of the grocery shopping shopping was done on a daily basis in the nearby market which sold everything from souveniers to potatoes. Of course thé big difference between this method of buying buying supper and the supermarket supermarket technique is that customers are expected to haggle with the proprietor Nestleton Pleased to know that Mrs. Ron Burr of Caesarea is feeling much better after a few days in Port Perry Hospital. Keep up the good work! Regarding the Election Election coming up this Thursday. Make an assessment of the can- ' didates involved and vote for the one of your choice. BUT- be sure and vote- it's not only a right- BUT also a duty! The Nestleton for a better price. "Even though the merchandise merchandise was already being sold at a low price (in our standards), the natives wanted you to haggle with them." Judy recalled. "It was like a game to them." When not working, a popular activity among the people of the village is chess and backgammon. Although Although some do watch television television in their spare time, there is generally only one or two sets designated to each area. As for ancient supersi- tions and rituals, many have been forgotten and some are still unconsciously practised in the day to day routine of village life. The story of these people and their customs is captured captured and preserved in Judy's photographs which will be on display at the Visual Visual Arts Centre May 1st through 9th. Caesarea Women's Institute will hold their May meeting this Wednesday- the 1st at the Centre at 1:30 p.m. A sale of plants, crafts and so forth is a feature of interest. Everyone welcome to attend!
