Jakarta floods
Friday, 18 January 2013Pela Mampang, Jakarta
Yesterday turned out to be a bit unusual. We went out at 07:00 to buy some parts in Kota, but in jl Sudirman the traffic was already totally gridlocked. Since the rain had stopped, we continued on foot all the way to Kota, a distance of around 10 km. At the Hotel Indonesia traffic circle we had to cross a bridge between two buildings because the water level was too deep. We were lucky to bring along a camera to document the day. On the way back from Kota, we were able to catch a couple of buses, and finally a taxi from Tanah Abang.

Kota. Even the cockroaches are escaping the water.
