Joko Kendil Karaoke Train
The state owned railway company in Jakarta, India, has just announced it is going to refurbish a train called the “Joko Kendil”. It was built in 1938 and was named after a boy who probably got a lot of teasing in middle school because his body was shaped like a casserole pot. We’re having a hard time imagining that.
Anyway, if you have a spare $5,000 you can rent this tricked out train and sing karaoke all the way from Jakarta to the town of Surabaya. It’s going to have all the modern conveniences, including sofas and LCD screens for singing karaoke to the clickety-clack of the train wheels. “Chattanooga Chu-Chu” anyone?
