My entry into Indonesia was through Jakarta. I was afraid of the metropolis,to me it was like a gigantic hive beast that one could easily be swallowed by and then mercilessly spit out into some nameless place. How does one even begin to make sense of the place?! Luckily my host graciously came to meet me at the airport and we took the shuttle to south of Jakarta.It was Ramadan month somehow the traffic was lesser, perhaps because it was a weekend and people prefered staying indoors OR some of the population had begun making their way back to their hometowns. Whatever strange reason it was it just made my first foray into solo travel a little easier, a little less intimidating. (yes yes I'm a big baby!)
