Roxy journey continues

This photo was taken in monotone. Along the road a number of psuh cart is seen. They are selling food. Some of the carts is with the trader. Some of the traders were getting ready to start business. I was tempted at one point to try out the food. But it was only 4 in the evening.
The other side of the river. Some of them are houses, some are shop houses. As this is housing area, there goes the narrow street.
As I was reaching one corner, I saw this. I was thinking what was it carrying. As I was getting closer, this man was feeling water into the metal containers. This water is then sold to those who needs them. The shocking part to me was the water tank was underground and next to the river.... I was quite reluctant to take this photo, but I wanted something for me to remember.

Roxy area again...

I was crossing the road that intersect with railway, because I was curious on what is the side looks like. It is the same as before I cross the road. There is a bicycle hanging back of the house. Maybe not much space left in the house.

Then I brave myself into the small gang way just to fill in my blanks or question marks, "What does looks like in the front of these houses?" So I was there with this photo. Everyone there was staring at me. Hmm.. I am still one piece today. As in the photo, the right side is a wall separating the houses and the railway.
Went back to the main road, which is spearated by a river. Then strolled to see more. I guess I have not enough of these houses and it's surrounding. This intrigued me, a car in the house. How did it manage to get in there? My coward overtakes my curiosity. So no answer to it. More photos to come...

Railway Traffic Light

Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong!... I heard this bell sound before. Yup.. the sound of warning that a train is passing by soon. As the picture on the left, human is crossing the rail road that jelled with tarmac... so no train is coming.


















A photo of the traffic light in silhoutte.
I was waiting for the train to arrive so I can catch a picture of it. This railway is in the city itself. Which I find it odd. As where I am from I don't see such railway except in rural area. It is quite dangerous since the cross road is a busy one. And human is administrating the road block on train crossing event. It is an experience in the city.. hmm.. any other city with this facility?

Komilet, Kopami, Metro Mini

Komilet, Kopami, Metro Mini are the buses found in Jakarta. I get to know more about this buses from Selba. Actually the names are the bus companies name.
I can't recalled the comapny name of this bus. My first time seeing this vehicle, it looks like mini lorry convert to public transportation. And I have tried this machine. The seat is just a bucket plastic. Luckily my butt is meaty, so the seat is not so bad.
Komilet Jaya, short Komilet. Hmm.. have I been into this bus. Guess not.
Metro Mini, yup another bus of different shape.















Good thing about buses in Jakarta are the shape will tell me the different companies buses. One thing till today, I don't know where the buses goes to. The fare is reasonably low. With this low fares don't expect a comfort ride. But think about the low cost of travelling in short distance it is much much cheaper compare to taxis. Don't try this if you are not ready for the unwanted events. I have heard a few which I have mentioned earlier.

Tongseng

A delicacy using mutton and it is called 'Tongseng'. The mutton is boiled using charcoal. As the local mentioned to me that 'Tongseng' is a nice food. So I was at the street beside Metropolitan I and saw this stall.
The man is prepairing the ingredient in bowls for those eat-in customer. The charcoal is being fan to get a heat or sometime fire to cook the soup. They do take-away service.


This stall business is very good. It finished business within half and hour to 45 minutes. So imagine that those wanted to taste the food, have to be there to find it was sold out. I did missed it a few times. Besides, the mutton is used in fried rice. I even get to choose the level of spicy of the food. I always opt for the most spicy in the fried rice. As for the soup it is standard.

Those in Jakarta, if you are curious what it taste like, get a local to take you there. It is different from Malaysia 'Sup Kambing'
