Jakarta

Above, fancy modern Jakarta....

And directly behind and below the modern skyscrapers... the slums!



Some people live like this...            ...and others live like this...             .... or this!

Jakarta is a city of contradictions!

My buddies in the kampung (slum quarters):

More people

1.  Thumbs up for Obama!      2.  Indonesian tourists from Sulawesi, who wanted their picture taken with me (to them, I'm a tourist attraction!)       3.  My buddies, the dockworkers


City Life
 The infamous Jakarta "macet" (traffic jam)...     with a row of bajaj 'taxi' vehicles
 And here's a typical neighborhood 'thug', playing traffic cop (they 'stop' traffic to 'let you out' or in and demand money in return, one of many rackets going around town)
