Jakarta ~~ Travelling around town

Travelling in Jakarta is quite convenient, but tedious.........

One has to mingle with the daily crowd, be it adults or school children.

After their school , joined the school kids on a minivan ride.


Got into the minivan, took a seat, this is what I saw...........


It's quite miserable to be inside a minivan, suffocating and outside the traffic was

blaring their horns as well.

The minivan driver know all the shortcuts, weaving in and out to beat the jam, or

what the locals call machek (for jam)..........

Anyway, to while away the time, just look around,..............many nice houses

along the way.








And even a helipad.....


Well the trip was worth it, at least you know the locals feel and live their day.

A ride in a minivan costs Rp3,500 per head, the driver however insisted

Rp4,000 each. Gave him the money, just don't want to create a scene.

Just not worth it, anyway.
