I had to fly to Indonesia for a meeting on Wednesday. Jakarta is the capital of Indonesia and has a population of 10 million people. It was really difficult to see the level of poverty and poor living conditions in this country. Along the Jakarta river, there were thousands of huts built out of anything that could be found. Most of the huts had tarps for a roof with few or no walls. Some of the better ones had tin for a roof. I am constantly reminded how fortunate we are to have what we have and to be born where we were born. For this I am thankful.

We went to a Japanese restaurant for lunch. I tried sashimi and it wasn't too bad...really!
This is an enclosed motorcycle which are plentiful here
Barely a two lane road. Motorcycles which outnumber cars, split the traffic. It's insane!
This is our school in Jakarta, Inti College Indonesia
