At 10:45 we leave port in taxi van with Hari..

Population of Jakarta is 20-22 million  during day but only 12 million at night. Traffic is a nightmare.

He tells us they “have had as much as 1.5 to 4 metres rain in one day…. 26 hours that caused major flooding… a dam collapsed. Seems like every 5 years it happens. Government doesn’t seem to work on a solution.”

Trash goes to an area of 200 hectares and 5 metres deep out in country. No recycling is apparent by government. Some do recycle plastic and motorcycle oil but it is done by the private sector. There are drainage ditches that go to lake that is later pumped out into ocean.  Nice!!!

But….we drove through tree lined roads …. Golf course with nice housing. 12 billion rupiah for houses in new Chinatown (1 million CAD)…. So expensive 

What a waste of time visiting this city…. Nothing of interest and we are here for 2 days…
