How are you? The truth about living in Jakarta: first impressions and everyday life

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com August 27, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Friends, acquaintances and loved ones have asked the classic question these days: “How are you?” Often, due to lack of time, one has to answer with the same classic answer as “it’s ok” or “there’s nothing wrong”.

It might seem that the land is exotic and the environment is unprecedented. It is, of course, at the same time, living about 15 minutes away from the main place of work, or the arena, the routine creeps up faster than one would like.

In the first publication of “Jakarta Notes”, I told about, one might say, the first impressions related to the surrounding environment. This time I will try to answer the question in a little more detail, how are we really doing here? Everyone probably has their own experience, but I will share what I experienced on the first day of the game and also before it.
