Sada Coffee's Wallpaper

A creativity may comes everywhere. One afternoon, I met my friend at the second Sada Coffeeshop, Banda Aceh.

I arrived first. The coffeeshop has no visitor yet. Oh, there was a man whom I did not know. 

I took a seat at the middle of the room. My position faced the road. Once I saw at my back, there was a painting in the white wall. 

Sada Coffee's Wallpaper.

There are much of walker in front of two classic building. A red decker stand up on the highway. 

That's looks interesting. I woke and walk to got close the wall. I pay attention carefully. But, that's a liying. It was not a painting. Just a wallpaper. The coffeeshop owner pasted the wall with the wallpaper, no with creativity of an artist.

Duh! 

By the way, it was a good try to made his coffeeshop looks friendly.[]
