CAR FREE DAY in Indonesia's Most Polluted City (JAKARTA) 🇮🇩

Having arrived from the panoramic train ride to Bandung, I was back in the city of Jakarta. I'd heard that there was a so-called "car free day" every Sunday morning, where I could join the local runners and cyclists to enjoy some relief from Indonesia's most polluted city.
I headed towards Monas, the independence monument near Istaqlal masjid, where I would conclude my walk with an incredible view over the momentarily desolate streets of Jakarta. Meeting many friendly locals along the way, including a lady selling a delicious cold coconut, it was amazing to see the city in a different light - free of the traffic congestion and pollution that it is unfortunately notorious for. Mantap!

The Indonesian people are the kindest, willing to help you people on Earth. I know. I lived in Indonesia and was in awe of their kindness. Please be a little less aggressive and you will get "what you want" with less stress. Many times, I have asked for help, and they would say " follow me" or introduce me to someone who could help. Enjoy yourself because it is an incredible country with incredible people. All in all, this was a good reaction.
