Traffic in Jakarta


It has been a while back since my last blog entry...there are so much stuff to do. got new stocks coming, listing, meet up with designers for future website redesign.
Any how, I managed to squeeze some time to upload few pics. sorry the quality is not as good as they were taken from my blackberry device (bold 900).
enjoy


On Sydney Airport, apparently the plane was 1hr delayed.

This is Jakarta at its peak time...
When we arrived, it was in the month of Ramadhan (Muslim's holy month), streets are packed with cars with people heading home. Decent public transports are a luxury in my city. That is why people are commuting with private cars.
 
Look, how packed up the streets are. There are more cars than roads. Apart from lacks of descent public transport, the air condition is badly polluted...so more reason to use own car.


We were heading to my in-law's house, planning to do "iftar" there (iftar is the time where we end our fasting for the day in the month of Ramadhan). But we were stuck half way due to the traffic. So we ended up iftarring on the street with some locals. It was fun when we are not in a hurry. lots of street foods and people are offering sweet drinks and snackku ...


After a month of fasting, comes the celebration "Ied" . most people go to their home to see their relatives and family. See how wide open the city is when people are gone.
