Another side of Jakarta

Seen this when I was travelling from one place to another. With an Indonesian friend. Which push my adrenalin one step higher. My only thought was, camera. But I only have my digital compact. Wish my SLR was with me.
Living areas along a river. I guess it must be cheap staying in this place. You get to hang your clothes out to dry.
They do have balcony at the back to do washing. Convenient isn't it. As I was taking this photo, there were two kids playing near the door.
Didn't mean to be rude. But can stop myself taking this shot. There was a building on the right side. Maybe this man is leaking and getting a fatest way to total flush it.. hehehe..Did you notice that he is huggin the tree?

Current & Future Public Transportation

The other day a friend in Jakarta email-ed me a map of public transportation. Here is the map.
Some of the public bus is available for public. Some in construction. The bus is the busway I mentioned earlier. For rail transportation, those big train is also available. But not the light rail. The other day I was hoping to see Jakarta version of light rail transit. And now I don't even know if I have the chance to even ride one.. hmm..

Holy Places

From the army camp, I walk to search for the big modern mosque. I happened to pass a area where the train travel. This is my first time seeing a train rail elevated like LRT in Kuala Lumpur. My first deduction upon seeing a train moving on an elevated rail, "LRT in Jakarta, me want to try." hehe.. Beneath the rail was a number of homeless people. I wanted to take photo of them. Hmm.. gue takut terkencing di seluar.. didn't want to mess with them.
As the train passed by, I seen people on top of the train. Hmm.. first thought was.. dangerous.. on the second thought.. hehehe.. it is quite fun! How do I get a chance to do this? Myabe never. But if I get to do it I will do it.
I was looking the mosque. Since I was not sure where, I started to guess the location by looking at the pointy structure. There are a few big gates and small gates. I entered the compound through the small gates. The mosque is called 'Istiqlal Mosque' I then walked along the outside of the mosque to look for the church.
As I was turning corner, I found the church.
Taken this photo when I was infront of it. As I was so occupied with the church. I didn't notice the main entrance of Istiqlal Mosque was at the back of me.
There were alot of 'gerobak' infront of the mosque. Below are some photos of the Cathederal and the mosque.

Palace..

On one Saturday, I finally managed to haul me ass to Monas again. My target was to pay a visit to holy places nearby. One is the Istiqlal Mosque and the other is Cathedral a church. It was the lazy me that tempted the adventurous me not to go out. And here I am.
As the bus was passing Bank Indonesia, there was a demonstration going on. It was really a large group. First saw it, I was scared. After a few seconds, it look safe because they look peaceful. From the next day newspaper, the march into Monas was related to closing of church. I got out from Monas busway station. It was quite a walk before I get to take a photo. There is a palace opposite one of the entrance to Monas. As I was about to cross the road to get closer, I saw a guard in a cemented hut. He was there not moving for quite sometime. Hmm.. it should be okay if I just got a little closer to have a better view. As I started to cross, corner of my eyes I saw something moving. I froze on the spot. I was shocked to see an army with an automatic weapon. So I gave up the idea of crossing the first half of the road for better photography. Don't want to get myself into a messy situation. There and then I took this photo. As I walked along the palace I seen more army standing near the trees, camouflaging themselves to the trees.
From far I saw a big building. There was no army along this building. So then I dared myself to cross the road to this building. Is Makamah Agung, a court house.
