One against many 20/35 – 35 days 35 photos 35mm
I cycle to work but do not see many cyclist commuters on my way to and from the office in Jakarta. Look at the photo. That is why: no bicycle lanes, no space to cycle, too many cars and too many motorbikes choking the streets and roads of Jakarta. We need more space for bicycles commuters. That will help to reduce traffic, make the air a bit cleaner, keep people more fit.
Buka puasa or breaking the fasting 19/35 – 35 days 35 photos 35mm
We are is the Ramadan. Every day here in Jakarta at around 6pm these little food stalls appear in the streets. They were hidden during the day. Invisible to people. Suddendly, as the sunset approaches, they are there all over the city. The people who are fasting gather around them waiting the signal from the mosques that the time has arrived to break the fasting.
Preparing for the party
The preparation started at 8:30am and the first guests arrived at around 11am.
Catching a Kopaja 17/35 – 35 days 35 photos 35mm
Kopaja mini busses stop for just few seconds under the pederstain bridge near Senayan. People have to jump off and jump in sometimes when the bus is still moving. They cannot really stop as the road is very congested in the morning.
Fellow commuter 16/35 – 35 days 35 photos 35mm
This week was a good week for bicycle commuting. I saw fellow bicycle commuters almost everyday. Here is one who was riding in front of me near the Polda head office in Senopati in Jakarta. He went straight at the next crossiong, I turned left. For few seconds two bicycle commuters riding the same road!
Recycling 15/35 – 35 days 35 photos 35mm
Near where we live there is a collection point of these empty 19 litres bottles. They then bring them somewhere to be cleaned and refilled.

Morning nap 13/35 – 35 days 35 photos 35mm
Mosque entrance 12/35 – 35 days 35 photos 35mm
It was nice to walk along Kemang Timur searching for furniture shops. We walked by the Masjid Nurul Huda and I asked the old man sitting at the entrance if I could take a picture of him and his friend. He smiled and said: ‘Boleh’ (You can). Tomorrow the Ramadan begins.
