This is Jalan (Avenue/Boulevard/Road/Street) Sudirman, one of Jakarta's major thoroughfare. Not very different from any other major streets in any big cities in Asia. Glass and steel towers mushroomed and motor vehicles choke you as you walk down the street.. This picture must be taken on a weekend ...... look at the street : few cars. During weekdays ........ just like EDSA in Manila.
One of the biggest cities in Asia (pop. 9 million, including those living in the suburbs) the city is well alive at day and night. Visitors and maybe its own residents do not like Jakarta for its noise, pollution, and hectic life. But the money is there ... especially along this street in the big buildings. You can find anything from A to Z, and meet any kind of people from saints to sinners.
