From small city to Big Crowded city Named Jakarta

writen by Gaea
JAKARTA. To all who live in Indonesia, must know this city. Known before as Jayakarta or Batavia, Jakarta is the capital city of Indonesia. My foreigner’s friend once commented, “Isn’t Bali your capital city?” Well, cannot complaint because Bali is more famous… anyway… I want to tell you how I stranded in this big crowded city…
jakarta macet, enjoy jakartaIt’s all started from my friend’s offer. She asked me to work in her company. Many times I tried to refuse some offers to work in Jakarta before but this time I couldn’t say no, the money is good and this is for good, too. Starting this early 2011, I left my small town and immediately greeted by the traffic jam!!! It took me more than 2 hours to reach Kuningan area from Soekarno-Hatta airport by taxi. I cursed along the way and attacked by carsickness.
This big crowded city starts to bewitch me. Whether I agree or not, the spells are everywhere. It’s hard to be yourself where you cannot feel yourself because people are everywhere, they are surrounding you. Maybe you can hide in your cubicle then you can have your me-time, but that is not all about. I don’t want to be melted here. I want to stand out! Like I used to be.
Jakarta offers everything to nothing. It’s all up to you. If you want more, you have to work more. People struggle every second, people get what they want, and they also lose what they have. But dreams make me stronger, so I will build my life in here with a dream, a dream of a cozy city with no traffic. When it can be happen? Jakarta, oh, Jakarta…
