8 October 2015:
A view from a fifth floor walkway of our apartment complex (were are staying in an Airbnb apartment). Traffic jams are as bad as ever here in the city. We went to dinner shortly after this picture was taken to visit with some long-time friends. It took us one hour to reach the restaurant, driving the streets between 6:40 pm and 7:40 pm. It took us just fifteen minutes to return at around 10:00 pm.
Note the big buildings on the horizon - there are a lot of those now, many more than when I lived here in 1977. Thirty million people live in the greater Jakarta area.
The "fifth floor" has a very large outdoor swimming pool placed between 6 tall towers that hold the apartments. I will attach a bonus picture of Lily's brother Andree and his granddaughter Chloe enjoying the jacuzzi in the pool area a few days ago.
