The waterways around Jakarta and absolutely filthy, no other word for it. Those responsible for city infrastructure either cannot cope or do not try hard enough. You'll see people swimming in here. Look at the smart new buildings behind. What a contrast! #water
Here is the breath-taking view from the new second tallest building in #Jakarta which was just opened, Sahid Sudirman Centre. From its roof top you will see the new famous 'X of Jakarta', a crossing elevated road that makes a letter 'X'. Sahid Sudirman Center has 59 storeys with 258 meters height or it is just 4 metres away from Wisma 46 which has been the tallest building in Indonesia with its 261.9 metres. #skylines #nightshot #gopro
