This is a typical scene in the car after 15 minutes of driving in Jakarta traffic, somedays we can actually stay awake for the whole car trip! It takes us so long to get anywhere in Jakarta that we always end up nodding off to sleep sometime during it all.
Actually people have told me that the way to surviving Jakarta traffic is to have a survival kit in your car. This may involve books to read, water and snacks or even having your laptop to work on. These would be all fine of course if you didnt get motion sickness from reading or working on your laptop. I try not to drink much in the car as to avoid the need to use the toilet, a bit hard to get to a bathroom if your stuck in traffic!
Great thing though is that we have a screen in the front of the car to watch DVD's, but yes once again I get motion sickness from watching that too.... so the only way to survive a long trip in traffic is to fall asleep. The girls seem to agree!
