In light of my recent unfortunate events, I learned a few wonderful things that I thought I should put on my blog:
1. Riding public transportation in Jakarta sucks. Seriously. There are legit reasons why I have this major fear when it comes on riding public transportation such as metromini, ojek or Jakarta bajai (some of my friends know very well how I choose to go by Transjakarta bus or cab, instead of taking bajai/ojek). I hate that the possibility of me being crushed on the street is exponentially increased while riding this public transportation and I hate that my personal belonging safety is suddenly on high risk, in the way that I have to be extra vigilant and keep my eyes on everyone around me because you literally cannot trust anyone. And whadduya know, all of that fear is legitimately justified this past Friday, when two unknown strangers strangled my tablet from my own hands in front of my eyes (and my friends's eyes) while we were sitting inside the damn bajai in the middle of Jakarta's busy traffic. There's nothing we could really do about it and that's that. Thinking about it still gives me the heebies jeebies. I guess this would be the last time I'm talking about this and I'm gonna stay away from Jakarta bajai for some time.
