Missing melbourne, Living Jakarta

My mid year holiday are coming. As u can read from my previous blog, my holiday plans are pretty dull which make me kinda miss melbourne. I bet the weather is cold and drinking hot coffee or hot chocolate at koko black will be nice since it's winter there.


I'm going there soon (after i graduate and save enough money to go there). haha.

Nevertheless, Jakarta is not so bad, aside from the crowded traffic and very hot weather that will easily ruin your make up.


Jakarta Big sale is coming!!!! *yessss* Watch out your expense (especially for you, girls). Besides that, Jakarta fair has started (really wants to go there, but not really want to drive back and forth to KEMAYORAN because the traffic there is super crowded!!)


MONAS (it's have no relation with monash university, of course) is abbreviation of MONUMEN NASIONAL (national monument). on the top of it, there's a bronze flame coated with gold foil (nice...)

Thinking about traffic jam in Jakarta makes me feel nausea and headache. Sometimes makes me want to travel with public transport like train or TransJakarta yet safety reasons and many other reasons makes me rethink to do that :-(

my not-so little orange fellow, METROMIN. Metro means CITY and MINI means SMALL
METROMINI = SMALL CITY (??)

If I'm not mistaken, PEMPROV DKI jakarta make regulation that METROMINI (as you know as oranges-medium size buses which blow pollution everywhere) has to have AIR CONDITIONER (haha, seriously). In my opinion, such regulation is not really effective because then the fee for such public transport will be increase and is not cost effective for general public, am I right????

I think that's all for now.
