Just a quick post as the internet here at our hotel is freakin expensive. (As is the beer!)
We arrived safely in Jakarta yesterday afternoon & took a cab from the airport to hotel.
Traffic was just as expected - TONS OF IT! The one observation I have to make regarding traffic here is that while the roadways are very well marked, obviously the lane markings are 'Just a Suggestion' as a three lane road actually has about 7 lanes of traffic! And as in Panama, probably the most dangerous thing we will do here in indonesia is try to cross the street! Despite the chaos, it does seem very civil, with very little honking or aggressiveness! I am not really sure how that works!
People are very nice here!
Stay tuned for more.
Cheery Wave,

:) love you, have a great time!
ReplyDeleteHehe, always so fun to be in another country and just MARVEL at the driving and the roads. Our roads here are just so... organized. Break a rule here and you get the finger! Just think of crossing the road as another adventure for you to come home with!
