Jakarta Indonesia - our first overseas stop

We have arrived in Jakarta, this bustling city of some 17+ million.  It has the most crowded traffic conditions of anywhere I have visited.  Bangkok is crowded and Cairo is chaotic but Jakarta is teeming with cars, motorbikes, tuk tuks and the like.  The traffic is quite ordered, it is the sheer volume that makes it so unbearable.  Traffic queues are so bad they can wear one down.  Nevertheless, we are enjoying ourselves tremendously.

Above is the Jakarta skyline from George and Shirley's apartment.  Below is a view of the other side of a street vendor selling food.  Unlike Singapore, it is not advisable to buy food from these vendors.  Hygiene is very suspect here.

This shot is taken inside George and Shirley's apartment.

and the ceiling - both in the day and at night.

The apartment is beautiful and they have made us very welcome.   Just one last shot of the pool view from their balcony.  I could take a lot of this.
