A neat little video someone shot aboard an angkot. He starts at roughly across the street from the entrance to my complex, and drives down Margonda towards Jakarta. At about 1:30 you see Mal Depok on the left. On the right is where the new ACE Hardware opened, with an Index Furniture store.
About 2:02, on the right is Apotek Melawi, a big drugstore. You'll notice that the angkot (that's the little blue minivans) stop pretty frequently to pick up passengers. This causes all sorts of traffic jams. They will stop anywhere that there isn't a cop and pick up of let off passengers. The charge is only Rp.1,500 (9,000 is a dollar, for reference) and that can get you down the road a few kilometers. Longer distances charge more, but I don't know how they calculate it.
At 2:56, on the left, is a warung tenda, a tent food stall. Very cheap food, but you run the risk of getting some sort of stomach bug because the hygiene isn't very good.
Around 3:53, traffic stops; It's near the entrance to Pesona Khayangan, the other side of my complex. You can see the Pizza Hut sign on the right at 4:25. The motorcycle turning around, that's the break in the median that lets you cross the street to go into the complex.
At 4:37, you can brielfy see on the right, the windmill for Holland Bakery, a bread and cookie shop.
At 5:21 (blink and you'll miss it) on the left corner of the screen you'll catch a glimpse of a pink building, that's DC Billiards. Then you see an arm go in front of the camera, that's someone paying for his fare.
Well, that's as far as I got before my connection died. Anyways, if you keep going, there's a traffic light and a road that goes to the right, but keep going straight, and there's Detos on the left and Margo City on the right, with TB Gramedia (book store) just after Margo City. A little further down, and U.I. (the Univ. of Indo.) is on the left somewheres, and work is on the right. Well, gotta get going, planning classes and whatnot. Bye!
