Rujak Jakarta

Sapa suru datang Jakarte
Sapa suru datang Jakarte
Sandiri suka, sandiri rasa..

Hehe this song lyric from Melky Goeslaw (yes that Melly Goeslaw's father) has always been the genuine cynical phrase to everyone who lives in Jakarta. Freaking traffic jam, floods, lack of public space, snobbish consumerism lifestyle, and other terrible things that happened these recently days makes us think that complaint is the best topic in everyday conversation. But despite it all, we are like having an endless love and hate relationship with Jakarta that makes rest of us all survive in this city.

The greatest survival power of living creature is shown when they try to adapt. There are many things we can do to simplify the process of adaptation in Jakarta, one of them with developing environmentally conscious in accordance with local regulations. Some people might say that the regulatory governance of urban planning is too exclusive, only practitioners such as urban planner, architect, environmentalist, and government officials who understand. Well, let's give thanks, a non-profit community called RUJAK has made a marvelous video that has much spatial information about urban planning regulation which packaged simply and easy to understand. So.. Let's start to plan our own environment for every moment that we had and will get from this city. ;)

“It is my belief, Watson, founded upon my experience, that the lowest and vilest alleys in London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside.”
