Rooftop view of Jakarta

Jakarta is known for its "jams" - the traffic is almost endlessly grid-locked. When you ask someone how long it takes to get somewhere, they always add the disclaimer "without a jam."


The roof of the hotel was pretty cool. The pool went out to the edge of the roof and just disappeared into the darkness. I would have liked to check it out - it looked like you could actually just swim off the edge - but we didn't really have time. Plus, it wasn't a super-warm pool.
