This Sunday is the day of Car Free Day in Jakarta. Car Free Day events are held from 6am to 11am every Sunday. We all can do sports with fellow Jakarta people here. Usually you also find communities ranging from the morning gymnastics community, running community, healthy walking community to animal lovers communities such as dogs communities and reptiles communities. I usually jog with my friends or with my younger siblings. Runs are usually fun. We run who will reach the finish line and as always I will often be the last. I guess I am getting old, lol. On the Car Free Day event, you can also shop. There are lots of seller around here. Prices sold tend to be cheap (but of course the quality is quite low). You can buy equipment for sports, clothes to dolls for children. Not only that, there are many food vendors (this is my favorite), ranging from street foods to heavy foods. My favorite is durian ice cream snacks and eating a complete chicken porridge. It's really delicious. After burning fat, filling it with delicious food is so worth it!
I really hate when it rains in the capital when I go home from work because it means the streets will be very jammed. The traffic in Jakarta hours is bad...

Does that mean there are no cars on the roads of Jakarta during those time at all?

Yeah. The event was held along the Sudirman road in Jakarta and during the event, no motorized vehicles (buses, cars, motorbikes) could enter. The program starts from 6am to 11am. After that, all motorized vehicles can enter the road.

@toniganzon Yup. At least no air pollution for a few hours. What I like best if there is rain early in the day, so the air gets fresher.

Now that sounds like a really good idea. Not sure about 'chicken porridge' - I've never heard of it

Oh, it is a really famous breakfast in Indonesia. Here is my discussion link for chicken porridge
This morning I felt very hungry. Besides because I have to sleep in the office, my friends and I also have to work overnight because of deadlines. Work in team...
