Just a Normal Day

It was a nice Sunday afternoon and for some odd reason this happened. As I waited patiently to find out what was causing this traffic jam, it turned out to be... nothing. To those who don't know, that's actually normal in this beloved city. There were no accidents, the traffic light functioned well, no one was lying in the middle of the street trying to stop the flow of the cars. All of this was caused by the magnificently large number of cars now existing in Jakarta, and the inability of the roads to hold them all. I've asked some expats who live in this city would they drive in this city? They answered, "I'm not that crazy!"
