Jakarta is the capital city of Indonesia, population ten million. It's hot and steamy, ten seconds outside the hotel and you're covered in dripping sweat.Many people carry a smallish washcloth to wipe off their sweat. It's not a tourist destination, so while walking around, it is possible to go for several hours without seeing another Caucasian person. Our first day here, we took a Hidden Jakarta all day tour with a group of two other European tourists and saw sights that most visitors miss, mainly impoverished communities near water, think squatters.
These elevated trains are used ones from Japan.
