I went to Jakarta for a week

So humid. Did I mention the humidity?  Didn't get many good photos due to being on a work trip and at the mercy of a tight schedule, but here are a few shots...

30,000 feet above the Australian outback.  This is what 96% of the continent looks like as far as I can tell. 

We stayed at the JW Marriott which has been bombed three times in the last 10 years.  This is the view out my window.  Every morning, three or four guys would crawl out of that shack on the right side of the field to go to work.  Awkward.

In Jakarta, huge psychedelic skyscrapers sprout from the dirty third world poverty below.

The building on the right is very cool.  Pretty sure it's supposed to lean that way.

He's pointing to the next 90F rainstorm that's coming our way.

Driving in Jakarta is INSANE.  In this particular shot, every vehicle you see is aimed right at us and travelling at 75mph.
