Jakarta, The Good and The Bad

Jakarta is like everything else in this world. It has not so good things but it also has good things. Even though Jakarta was flooded for almost a week last week, I am still proud to call Jakarta my hometown. Jakarta is basically my hometown because I was born and I’d spent almost fifteen years living in Jakarta. Because of that also, I can say that I have seen a lot of changes in Jakarta, new transportation system, new shopping malls, new TV station, just to name a few. Still, there is one thing that never changes, the busy traffic.

Jakarta is one of the most densely populated cities in the world and the number of population keeps on getting bigger. With dense population and lots of cars and motorcycle, Jakarta’s traffic is almost out of control. But, under the governance of governor Sutiyoso, Jakarta has developed its new transportation system and is developing a few more. It is hoped that the new transportation system could reduce traffic jams.

Well, to get out of the stress of getting old on the road or maybe just to have fun when you pay a visit to Jakarta, there is one place I can recommend you. Dunia Fantasi. It is an amusement park located in North Jakarta. The entrance ticket is not really expensive and sometimes there are free tickets given from certain hotels. Every time I went there, I could never get bored. The rides are really thrilling and it makes you just want to ride again and again. If you go with your family or friends, it will be more fun. Can you imagine how your dad’s face will look like when he rides a big roller coaster?

Thanks for posting, your writing so far is good.
