Beautiful Indonesia

Just like another day...

Turn off the computer, packup all my things (include my lunchbox), prepare money for paying bus ticket (wait, did I say ticket? I just realized that we Indonesia, don't have a bus ticket).

It was 5 to 5 and I walked my self to the bus stop (not a real bus stop, but a stand of fried banana & fried rice seller). I found a flood exactly in that place, then how can I wait for the bus there? (small flood, how do we call it? Indonesian call it as 'genangan').

Suddenly I feel pitty. Is it something that I should be proud of? I work in a such infrastructure department and my office just right in front of it! but we're poor in a drainage, even for ourself. Then not only me, but all bus user should really careful, otherwise the water will just wash us.

My bus is coming! Kopaja 66, I jump in to the back seat (lucky me got a seat). Not far from the office, I know there's an expat place from US (not so sure it's a house/office, an embassy or a place to live). The bus stop for the red light and I watch outside. There are some man who I assume guards of the house work on the street. They try to pull out any mud/garbage that makes water didn't flow to the drainage. They work so hard!

Is it my country? country that I love?

Ok, you may don't get the point, but I feel such a loser. I am in my own country but couldn't find such an effort to make it a better place, but them? they just live in here for a temporary but they can make our place a better place...
