Jakarta's Carnival

Jakarta's carnival held annually for celebrate 484th anniversary of Jakarta.

Enjoy Jakarta

 

Today is Jakarta's 484th  anniversary celebration. In my porch I have seen a beautiful fireworks. But, I fell that Jakarta not as pretty as fireworks.

Formerly known as Batavia, Jakarta is currently the largest city in the country with an area of 661 square kilometers. A census in 2010 confirmed a whopping population of 9,580,000, which is more than twice the population of Singapore. This has made it the city with the ninth highest population density in the world with 14,464 living and breathing people per square kilometer.

Because of that, Jakarta so crowded.. densely populated residential with poor sanitation, traffic jam everywhere, beggar and children street, lack of green areas, and others metropolis city's problems. 

As time goes by, I hope Jakarta could overcome the problems faced so people in this city can enjoy Jakarta :)
