Jakarta oh Jakarta, I have now felt the most outrageous reason for not wanting to stay in this city for too long. Though when i am asked for a number of good ones on why Jakarta isn't my ideal place of living, its heat has to be on the top of my list. You can name traffic, pollution, impatience, or hostility of most Jakartans, but still to me the pain and the lack of comfort i gotta bear every day in the afternoon because of the heat tops it all.
I hate those people who cut the line when shopping for groceries in mini markets. Even though they may have an excuse for it; they normally say that the amount of shopping they are carrying isn't as much as the one i have. Still, are they dumb or what? it's not because of that or because they look old and weak then they can just stand right in front of me and be super ready to pay. I also dislike those people who rush and step on my foot or accidentally hit my back when walking and just pretend nothing has happened and they just walk away.
Jakarta oh Jakarta, how pitiful you are. Corrupt naive people have been living here for so many years until they spiritually and mentally pollute this city as well.
Back to the heat matter i guess. it's freaking hot even at home. even in an air conditioned room. no wonder all those signs telling people to start considering not using air conditioning system as a way to prevent global warming have always been ignored.
Who would even want to take a nap during the day at the weekends feeling sweaty and smelly?
Who would even desire to fan themselves with a manual wooden fan while watching tv or reading?
I wouldn't; I wouldn't even be interested in thinking of it.
Well when it is about turning off the tap while brushing your teeth, I am okay with it. i also feel fine with using paper on both sides and bringing my own bag when i go shopping. But when heat is the problem, i have no solutions, honestly i am scared of being in a hot room. People around can become sensitive all of a sudden, our concentration vanishes, and there's a big chance of strange odours.
So please, don't bother me too much when electricity is off.. :)
