FREE CAR DAY FOREVER!

Kota Tua (Old Kota, in English) is on the center of our goverment's attention. As for me, it is a very influential historic place which has many stories in it.

Government sets a new rule which is free car day. This program is giving, at least, an effort from government to save this interesting place. The stories are all about the places in Jakarta and the culture which is formed. The government sets this is not because of reducing traffic jam but they mostly concern about the shake that car may have given because the buildings are very vulnerable and fragile especially the rooftiles.

The government, actually, should have done this few back years ago. I was very disappointed about the lack of attention of them about the building. If you ever been here before, you might see the scratch or paint of the idle and unresponsible hands of its visitors. Too bad! And yet many people visit the place for the history, to relax or to take a really good photograph.

What i have heard from the radio that the rule is going to be valid forEVER! I hope this is would be brought very good side for the place, an interesting for many people to visit!



Come and See yourself!!

Kartini Day

Today is Kartini's Day. Kartini is powerful figure here in Indonesia. She is a woman who had put all effort to encourage women of Indonesia to sit and stand as tall as men. She was influential women in her era and still is today.

Today, as i rode home, i saw a student of elementary school was wearing traditional clothes. It is kind of tradition especially on her day. I just remember when i was at elementary school too.



Modern women here in Indonesia is still trying to put their energies as same as men. Women today is getting better and many of them who i already knew or i saw, is a great women in their career, family and both of those options.

As for me, Kartini has given me a lesson to respect and never underestiman a woman's power.

I met my girlfriends and said, 'HAPPY KARTINI DAY! I hope you are going to be better woman' and so for women across this BEAUTY-ful island.

Rumour has it!

I listened to the radio again this evening and i heard that Indonesia has the second largest fans of Red Devil a.k.a Manchester United. And rumour has it that they will come and visit Indonesia on July.

The official said that they will use STADIUM OF SENAYAN to load of its fans here in Indonesia. He also said that the other reason is going to be introducing the asian weather, what a superstar reason!

I am not big fans of them after Beckham left. But i'll be proud if they appreciate our developing beautifully country as their destination!

So, MU lovers (i don't know what to call the fans, the devils?) be ready to meet its star!!

the smile

the indonesian people here in the city are now more individual and selfish than ever and badly i am joining them but in a minor.

i know the city people A.K.A modern people have their own business and problem, but at least smile and don't be so selfish especially on the road.

when we're talking about the road here in the city, it's a mess and stressful. people are selfish to get their destination by taking someone else's road.

this morning, when i was going to the college and it was quite crowrded, of course i was in hurry too. this old man was at the same time with opposite turn that he was going to take of me. he was smiling, letting me go first!
of course, i let him go first and smile bigger
that's what i miss from Indonesia!

my boredom of the road went far away from my head right away
the power of the smile
thanks man
