Between Two Cities
>> Aug 22, 2011
Almost every weekend, I face traffic jams on some main roads in my city, Bogor (West Java, Indonesia). Yesterday Sunday, we must postpone our plan as we couldn’t reach the place. My husband felt lazy to drive through the jam and prefer to turned back home.
I shouldn’t complain more as I don’t face traffic jam everyday here. People who work and live in Jakarta (the capital city of Indonesia) have to spend hours in traffic jams everyday.
For Blue Monday, I share here the differences between my city, Bogor, and the capital city. Here in my city, you still can see trees along the roads. Some of them are very old ones. If you choose a place to live, which kind of city that you prefer? Will you choose a smaller city that still offer you with green views or a big city with all amenities? Many Bogor people decide to keep staying in Bogor; though they must leave for work to Jakarta very early in the morning and arrived home late at night. I’ve ever been experienced as a train commuter for more than three years.

Jakarta macet & polusi, tapi seandainya pohon-pohon di Jakarta sebanyak yang di Bogor, wenaknya...
Undoubtedly I would prefer for small towns than big cities which is rich in pollution and crowd whereas town prefer for nature green and good health. The Bogor city looks alike Bangalore here which is one important city in India. Good shots Lina!
Looks very busy city and at the same time we can still see some trees. Great shot!
Blue Monday
Traffic jams seem to be all around the world.
Thanks for sharing your blues.
Happy Blue Monday, Lina.
Love the photos comparing the cities. Smaller cities or towns is my choice by far. The traffic in big cities is a real downer. However, it is fun to visit a big city and then go home to our quieter life. smile.
Hugs, Jeanne
