I recently made a stopover in Jakarta on my way to Bali. Its not nearly as bad as some people have made it out to be. I especially liked the district with all the monuments/museums. Here's 19 photos (not all of them cityscapes) from my one day adventure. Have a look...

The air must be very clean so that you can take so clear aerial photos

i was quite pleased with the air quality. not once did i detect smog. but then again i was only there for 36 hrs. ive also been told of the horrors of the traffic, yet somehow every time we took a cab we zipped along largely unhindered. lucky timing i guess.
