Jakarta

Wow...its been long time i never open up my travelling experience.Kinda busy with projects and exam is just next week! But here i am again, now i gonna tell you the capital of Indonesia...Jakarta as a whole.Why i say as a whole cause been there for few times already.

Jakarta

8 years ago i went to jakarta with my family. Back then the place was not that developed. But now wah....you can sense that it will be one of the developing in the future - but depend on the government and the ppl there. You can see a lot of cafe, restaurant, shopping centre and a lot more which trying to catch up with mordenisation. The pepole there are friendly, simple and hardworking. Its the first time i seen not in most other country i went which make full use all the resoucers they had. For example, you have lift attendant in every shopping centre, you have non licenced drive tru attendand- which navigate your parking and a lot more. How much do they earn?? I think its only S$100 per month. To them is enough to survive tru out the month. Then you can see theres bunch of youngsters just hang out at cafe and enjoy themselves. This is most likely the well off family. Well nothing much to say about that apart by seeing for yourself. Not many ppl compare to the past are begging down there but at least they did is to please you , eg at the road they will wiped your vehicle, entertain you and sell all kind of things. Just give them 5000 rupiah which equavilant only S$1.
