The major challenges of this capital city
are rapid urban growth, pollution,
heavy traffic, poverty and flood. As
what proverb stated “ caught between a rock and a hard place “ or here in
Indonesia we called as “ Makan si buah Malakama “ the visitors have no choice
to take “ if “ they are to stay in Jakarta or to visit Jakarta for several
purposes such as business trip, family gathering or passing by for the next
island destination such as Bali, Flores, Papua, ETC...

he or she needs to learn or to recognize about how you live in this capital city, how you
interact with the people, the best destination to visit or many more. The
most important thing is we must try harder to find a lot of information about
Jakarta by reading many trusted articles
or suggestion from the expatriate person who live in Jakarta; but the first
thing and the easiest way to learn is through simple technology called a mobile
phone.
I suggest you to do the same thing as you always do for getting information from
your mobile phone because your mobile phone is the strong bridge to scratch a
lot of information and as same as cantechletter.com stated about how important the technology itself for our
life.
“Technology
includes the use of materials, tools, techniques, and sources of power to make
life easier or more pleasant and work more productive. Whereas science is
concerned with how and why things happen, technology focuses on making things
happen.”
Following the suggestions above, herewith
there are 5 applications that you need to install while you are living in
Jakarta.

Google Maps
