Ampera Raya - Something stranger every day!

Jalan Ampera Raya is a road within South Jakarta which I use frequently, however, apart from being a short cut (although often congested) it never ceases to surprise me with sights which I cannot actually identify or understand...

If anyone can tell me what this is all about, please feel free to let me know! (Apologies for picture quality, there was no real time to compose and focus)

  1. Do you mean the one in the yellow shirt?
    Well..the man (actually I don't know whether it's a man or woman inside the costume) tries to get money from
    entertaining people.
    It is common in the marginal areas, but nowadays people also can find that kind of action (I can't find any better term)in the city.

    Have you ever seen Ondel-Ondel?
    It's like that..
    But in small version..

    I hope my explanation above can help ^^
