‘All is Lost’ and its sense of purity
‘All is Lost’ is a brave movie. How else can be described a movie that has about a half page of dialogue (better said: monologue) and which is launched at a time of big productions, blockbusters, and remakes. I saw the poster of the movie in the London underground last December. Robert Redford battling rough sea and bad weather on a sailing boat. I thought that it may be one of those end of career […]
Quanti abitanti ha Jakarta?
Quanti abitanti ha Jakarta? C’è chi dice 10.000.000, forse 12.000.000. Altri dicono che se si considera la periferia che si estende a ovest, sud e ad est si arriva a 25.000.000. Ogni weekend 4 o 5.000.000 di abitanti lasciano la città per il weekend e raggiungono le zone di collina, dove la temperatura è un po’ più mite. La verità è che nessuno sa quante persone abitano qui. Molti arrivano ogni anno per trovare un […]

TransJakarta
TransJakarta is the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system in Jakarta. It was the first BRT system in Southern and Southeast Asia and it was inspired by the TransMilenio in Bogotà. TransJakarta began operations on January 25, 2004 and has now 12 lines. It carries around 310,000 passengers per day but it can do better than that. I took these photos at various stations and bridges of the TransJakarta network, mainly in Line 1 along Jl […]
Violin station in Jakarta
I took the Transjakarta bus N1 to Blok M yesterday night. While I was walking up the ramp to reach the ticket counter heard the music played by a violin. Nice classical tune played over the Jakarta traffic. It almost cancelled it. Violin station in Jakarta, a photo by Arnaldo Pellini on Flickr.
