Welcome to Jakarta — a city that will literally take you down to the bottom! It’s the world’s fastest sinking city, and even the Indonesian government is building a new capital from scratch instead of saving Jakarta. Let’s explore the city, while we still have a chance. We will go around a cargo ship, visit a colonial restaurant, learn about a voting nail, find a new way of agitation, visit local China Town and discuss premarital relationships. Jakarta is one of the tidiest and friendliest cities I’ve ever seen. Watch the video, and fall in love with the capital of Indonesia!
