Actually, I didn't even take the picture. April had the camera back in Canada. I'm not sure why I didn't just use my phone, but I stole the picture and there it is. Jakarta was an interesting place, but the traffic was unbearable. Just for fun, try to work out who's in which lane. Traffic in the city is like a free for all. Imagine cars squeezed together as closely as laws against property damage might allow, and fill in every conceivable gap (and some of the inconceivable gaps) with motorcycles and mopeds. My last meeting ended about four hours before my flight back to Dubai. The two (as in 2) km trip from the downtown core to the freeway took an agonizing 63 minutes. Once on the freeway our speed averaged out at perhaps 5kph, with brief and exhilarating bursts of speeds that may have allowed us to keep pace with a group of mediocre runners.
