That's why foreigners love to come to Indonesia. However, in the reality, it is not really like that, is it? Or perhaps because people are getting more selfish and busier and that they think greeting "strangers" is no longer necessary to do. Emang kurang kerjaan? LOL. But, I think this is really sad, isn't it? Hello Amellie,

I kinda expect the same with MRT, but I may be bitter, he he. @ctrlz – another problem with the public transport system in Jakarta is this :
