Mattis has been getting to know Jakarta since August 23, when his duties in the distant land began. He did not count the days spent in Indonesia.
After a 20-hour flight, he had planned to attend the training of the Latvian national team, but before that he went to take a nap for a couple of hours. Mattis woke up to very loud Muslim prayers, which even led to believe that a loudspeaker was placed in his hotel room.
On a daily basis, one of the creators of “Breakfast of Champions” has to deal with extreme heat and humidity, as well as be very careful with daily meals, because it is quite easy to get “fast legs”. It is also not recommended to rinse your mouth with tap water after brushing your teeth, but to use bottled water.
The locals are said to be very happy about the World Cup being held in Jakarta, even though the Indonesian national team is not participating in it. They perceive it as an investment for the future, which will increase the popularity of basketball. Fans of the Latvian national team also help to attract local fans to the teams of other countries.
The people of Jakarta are said to be very polite and responsive, although they have poor knowledge of the English language.
In the conversation with Matīs, we also talked about the dirtiness of the city streets, the smog in the air, the monotonous breakfast and lunch offer, as well as the performance of the Latvian national team in the first three games.
