No doubt everyone is pissed off at my constant babble regarding the Jakarta Traffic, however, one now has a choice of whether to stay indoors or venture out!

This website offers the Jakartan a view of the traffic conditions in real time streaming video.
Unfortunately it is of absolutely no use to me as there are no cameras or feeds for the are that I live in but, nonetheless a nifty little website.
No it doesn't mean that you Fuckwit (i've wanted to call you a fuckwit for ages)
ReplyDeleteYeh OK, even you couldn't fuck up "macet" as in macet at a dead set,bog down,got stuck,stagnant,stagnate,stuck fast, but you made a right balls of "lagi", in jawa "maneh" - lagi 1. 1) again. 2) still, further. 3) still (when it shoul not be so). 4) (with negatives) any more, any longer. 5) more, else, other. 6) as well (as). 2. be in the process of.
Therefore depending on the context it could mean "stuck (in traffic) again" or possibly "Still stuck in traffic."
A more correct way of saying "macet" might be " Lalu-lintas sangat ramai" , but I suppose after 3 years, which should consider anything a bonus....
I wondered where you had hidden yourself..
ReplyDeleteI stand corrected, but it really all boils down the same shit...
Have a nice time over Xmas while I freeze my arse off/of in Scotland!
I've been nowhere (if that makes sense) just watching the stunts of the *unts on the punts etc. I also may be on a flight on the 18th , I I have something that just work wait to do back in the sceptic isle. As for feeling sorry for you, it serves you right for being of/off Scottish descent.
ReplyDeleteIf you travel MH, you might be on the same flight as me....
In anycase enjoy as far as possible the holidays in the UK.
