Postcard from Jakarta

 

Selamat pagi from Jakarta! 

I've been here for the last three weeks for work. It's been eight years since I left in 2005. This city has changed immensely since then. Mostly for the better, although the traffic is worse than ever! 

This sprawling city has recently instituted car-free Sunday mornings. Starting around 5:30 am, right outside my hotel window at the Hyatt, the techno music starts blasting to spur on the cyclists. Though sleep deprived, I felt incredibly thankful to have been reminded how stunning Jakarta sunrises are. 

Hugs from Bundaran HI!
