Jakarta 2004-2006

Photos of my former hometown.

My apartment building Central Jakarta - in model form. My building is on the left... yes, there! Closer-up The pool looks inviting, but it's 10 feet from the noise of the street My pad Looking the other way Visiting "Taman Mini Indonesia - celebrating all of Indonesia's cultures A map of Indonesia's islands, made out of islands A cable-car in a lightening storm - fun! Walt Disney - call a lawyer! Traditional Balinese gate John leaning on some faux-Balinese The park is really like Indonesia - you can drive all through it Hi-tech transport at the park The local Nazi souvenir stand Visiting the old port of Jakarta "Let's see how much we can overload this truck" They were looking for crew Anchor's a-way Several hundred sacks of Indonesian semen (cement) The longshoremen make you feel ever so welcome I would trust these guys with my shipment of beer. Wait, is some missing? Beautiful water-front property, going cheap The ocean-view Ever wonder where all those precious rain-forests end up? Street scene in old Jakarta Jakarta's central station I could really go for a root beer Cafe Batavia, a Jakarta institution Inside the Cafe Batavia Monas, the National Monument in Jakarta A very large mosque near Monas Urban sculpture - Jakarta's bonanza or blight
