Jakarta 2009 - Day 1 (Arrival)

A somewhat rushed, but well-executed trip to Jakarta in January 2009...

Arrival - 170109 approx 1530 hrs
Soekarno-Hatta Int'l Airport Arrival Hall
Reminiscent of older shopping malls in Singapore - does not appear to be an int'l airport, but it is.

Very retro-style...Always good to see something familiar from home... There were more, but I did not take the pictures. Some that came to mind were DBS, OCBC... and Home-Fix, a DIY retailer.

And of course, what used to be familiar but is no longer. What is not so familiar about this thing that once was, was the price - at least half the price of that in a typical Singapore fast food outlet.

Some things never change, such as a government's perpetual liking for money.
