Life in Jakarta
Ok, after spending about 3 months in Jakarta, I can say that I’m almost accustomed with the idea of living here just like before I went to the states. There are a few things that really bother me though:
1. Traffic Jam
There is a highway bridge repair project near my office, so there will be an insane traffic jam in the intersection outside my office complex every single day. Due to the repair all of the containers and other big trucks have to exit the highway, take the local street, make a U turn in another intersection and then enter the highway in the other side of the road. From the exit point to the highway entrance will take about an hour. It’s just right across the exit for God’s sake and yet they have to make a U turn about 500 m away and make everybody else suffers.
