beauty of travelling in the streets of j-town!

ahhhh the fresh air, the greenery, which only is available from 6 am to 7:45am, after that, its just smog pollution and some weird smell which until now remains a mystery to me (could it be my driver's armpits? i dont even wanna think about it)

try going around jakarta during rush hour, try going around our beloved city in the evening when the whole bloody sarinah thamrin is going through this 3-in 1 thingie and everyone passes tanah abang, and i lay a bet on u, even if ur cars have a sound proof window glass as thick as 4 inches (might as well make it bulletproof), the superbly annoying sounds of motorcycles and bajaj can penetrate through it somehow. and if u r in silence and there is no motorcycles or bajaj around u, there will always be mosquitos who tries to imitate the sounds of bajaj and motorcycle simple because it must be thinking that u miss those kinda sounds...mybe thats like the ultimate misunderstanding between humans and mosquitos!

and just when u thought busway was a friggin convinience...no suree, hell no! well...i admit it was for the first few months but then our beloved governer got carried away with the success, and thought "ah well, opening more busway stops and not building them when its half done is not a bad idea and plus i seem to have earn some "extra cash" and since the country doesnt really need it (or maybe iam jsut playing fuckin dumb) i might as well put it in my huge-because-its used-to carrying- so-much-filthy-money-kinda pocket!!" and then, busway was well, just not the busway we all loved and adored. i just dont know how that train thingie they are building is gonna work, but i can be sure of this...we aint singapore!

busway...evening.....1 bus....50 people crammed...hands hanging up to hold the grips....armpits exposed.........uuugghhhh!!! now i know y this city (literally) stinks! and the way the driver drives..when iam standing up and holding those weird grips (and maybe contributing a lil to the stink)..and the driver take a sharp turn, i feel like iam on one of those surfboards that has grips and allows the wind to control it? have u seen one of those? thats exactly how it feels, so if u wanna practice that kinda surfing..the busway would be a good way to start, if u dont mind being surrounded by weird people...i dont know why, but when the sun sets and the moon begins to rise, the weird people of this city appear out of their hidings and lure in the buswaysss.

the attitude of drivers really gets to me though, i mean the way the people drive in this country really show the attitude of the citizens here...we dont give way to people, the big cars or busses bully the small vehicles (mr bean aint gonna survive here, god put him in a soft comfortable place like england for a friggin reason!), thats exactly how people here are mostly, if i was to change lanes and the car just stopped so i could enter...i would start thinking this guy is like some holy priest (of who cares what religion)...and i would feel iam this angel sent from above when i do the same thing for someone. i wud think....maybe iam actually an angel born in the form of a human.......hahahahah...yea right, who am i kidding?

all in all, i was born in this country, so who am i to complain, plus iam already getting the hang of it...come to think of it, without the pollution, the curropted politicians, the smelly armpits and that mysterious smell...i wud be really lost.
