Flooding in Jakarta

Jakarta In Flood

*My brother feet and shoes in water that flooding Jakarta

Today in Jakarta was having heavy rain from 6 o'clock in the morning till maybe 4 in the afternoon I think..
I don't know precisely because after lunch I take a nap..

after I woke up the rain in here had been stopped. Maybe for a hour or more than hour..
And than I saw the news in television
wow what an awesome view..

In the main street of my house that can accessed to Tangerang and Merak there was flooding everywhere in that street...
damn the view just like in Venice if you have ever to go there...
Traffic jam everywhere and neither car nor bike can passed through that flood man..
Shit I've dejavu again with the past year in February last year

When this town still named Batavia ( the Dutch name for ancient Jakarta ) flood is also occurred in this lovely town. To prevent that flood submerged Batavia the Dutch built west flood canal ( Banjir Kanal Barat ) . That canal is similar with canal in Amsterdam ( In Dutch means under the dam ) because the geographical place of Jakarta.When the VOC ( Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie or United East Indian Company ) choose Batavia Peter Both ( former VOC Govenor General ) think this is strategic place because it is the estuaries of Ciliwung river and than many of little river pass trough Jakarta. That little river is a good nature defense of this town...

When time change this town never free from flood...
And now when it became the capitol of Indonesia flood is worse and worst again and again...
Oh my town...
