A Short Weekend Trip
>> Oct 28, 2013
I still feel sleepy right now; we arrived home about two hours after midnight. I had a weekend trip to my husband’s hometown for a family occasion. On Friday morning, my husband and I took a bus to reach our destination. We had a bad traffic jam on a few spots that caused by labor demonstration. Recently I noticed there were several demonstration of labor organizations conducted in different cities separately. Commonly they request for higher wages, the end of outsourcing practice and better health assurance. It’s a pity that most labor demonstrations also involve lots of people and cause heavy traffic jam. Sometimes, the protest leads to destructive actions. My husband took some pictures from the front bus window. The bus ride took six hours longer to arrive at my husband’s hometown.

We went back home the next day –Sunday afternoon. My husband and I had a car ride together with my BIL, SILs and nephew who live in Jakarta. We also faced a traffic jam on the way back home. A tiring car ride but I do had a nice weekend.

You have a full and interesting post today, Lina.
Your nephew is a darling blue boy.
I understand how exhausted it can be when driving in heavy traffic. I'm grateful you were able to post today!
Thanks for sharing.
Happy Blue Monday!
What a wonderful weekend trip and great photos for HBM ~ thanks, carol ^_^
Hi Lina, I am sure six hours longer in the bus was pretty upsetting. It sounds like you still had a lovely visit. There is so much unrest these days for so many countries. I pray for peace in the world everyday.
The carnival was a nice event even it you did not know the reason. Smile. Your nephew looks so cute and small in the beautiful Mosque.
xo, Jeanne
glad you all got home safely
Some of the same issues we have here. Thanks for visiting my blog. Happy Blue Monday!
interesting journey, lots of stories haha...
Thanks for sharing this great event. I enjoyed it even if the traffic was bad.
Lina,is that a Hindu religious possession?
I too had a weekend trip to stay with family and it took six hours to drive there and six hours back...but it was worth every minute.
We didn't see any demonstrations but there was slight traffic jams around rush hour on one part of the journey.
It can be so tiring so I understand you being sleepy.
You did well to post and have great photos for Blue Monday!
Thanks for sharing :D
I am sorry you had to deal with awful traffic but today it is common most everywhere we go! Glad you had some time to visit with phamily. I am glad you shared with Blue Monday! Have a good week.
