Mangrove Swamp

in jakarta, coastal zone is located in the northern part. however, due to the rapid development within the city, it affects the natural balance causing a quite serious erosion along the coast. one of the effort to overcome this issue is to preserve habitats for mangrove trees.   

mangrove lives in a swamp as pictured above. mangroves provide significant value in the coastal zone as a buffer against erosion, storm surge and tsunamis. more and more awareness on this significant contribution of mangrove is being implemented to help the erosion in the coastal zone of jakarta. hopefully, it helps.

The shop is called Bread ‘n Breakfast, located in Kemang. I find those stripes interesting, especially with that tree on the foreground :)

KFC - Playland

KFC in Jakarta, Indonesia This is probably why people choose to celebrate their kids’ birthday parties here. We certainly couldn’t entertain them like this at home. But hey, what happens to traditional games and playing around on the backyard? I don’t have a backyard, but board games, puzzles, sing and dance could probably do the trick, don’t you think? :)
