The Harsh of Jakarta

my first day of vacation in jakarta was not a good one. after a full 12 hour drive from Yogyakarta, i had not get enough rest. I slept only probably 1 hour, because Lala was "rewel", tired. after shopping full day long, i got stuck in a full traffic jam. i was somewhere near "three-in-one" restriction area, so everyone is trying to get into a "safe" alternate routes. it was a very very very very very very very terrible traffic jam. i experienced the worst frustration ever. i think everyone frustrated and loaded with anger.

at that moment, i remember that this was one of the reason why i don't want to live in jakarta. i made a commitment that i will never travel if i had never been there before. trust me, you don't want to get cought in jakarta's famous traffic jam.

jakarta is really not suitable for living. jakarta is only good for a short vacation or shopping. a consultant once said, jakarta is worth living only if your earning is rp. 15jt monthly :)

I don't agree with some statement on your blog. Jakarta is not only suitable for shopping and vacation. Jakarta is very suitable for people who wants to face the challenge especially in work competition.
And I also don't agree about earn 15million/month makes your life in jakarta comfortable.
