Hello from Jakarta. I am here for 24 hours and I am staying at my usual hotel. As you might know there is no much to see in this city. Just to give you an example, this is the view from my bedroom's window and it is one of the local attractions (!). The Jakarta War Cemetery contains the graves of many who died in defence of Java and Sumatra during the swift Japanese advance in 1942 and many others who perished afterwards as prisoners of war. Among the dead were sailors who fought in the Battle of the Java Sea, soldiers and airmen who died in flying battle and airfield defence.
