Jakarta Flooded Yet Again!

Submitted by erasparsa on Mon, 02/04/2008 - 21:10

As some of you might have known Jakarta is the capital city of Indonesia, top ten most corrupted nation on Earth. So corrupt that if there are other living breathing corrupt nation on other galaxies we'll still stand out.

What you might not know is that we regularly get flooded each each rainy season. This year I have to go through it again, because my neighborhood happens to be located on a low area.

This time it's not so bad as last year. As last year the water in my house was about one meter high (that's about three feet high for you non metric adopters) and the worst thing is the water stays stagnant for about four days.

Anyway I took some photographs taken during my "trip" back home during the flood. Enjoy! ^_________^

Visited this webpage several times previously and it has changed so much in content compared to when I last visited this site. Keep up the good work, Edwin! Kampate!!

A few words on the creator of this page, he is indeed a computer genius who is always willing to help me "cure" my laptop when it gives me problem, he likes to take pictures of clouds as you might have guessed, hates seafood (this is hillarious ;) and is very much in love with video games and japanese related stuff.

I'm indeed grateful to have known him and he is definitely someone that I won't lose contact with.

Adios!
Linda

Hi there Linda, thank you for your comment here, and the praise <(^__________^); Although I have to say that I am no genius. Genius is an overstatement. ^______^

Take care girl.
