Walking

This afternoon I went to a bank in Jl. Cikini. I went there by "ngojek". it costed me ten thousand rupiah from my office in Jalan Lapangan Banteng. In the middle of conversation in the bank, I asked for a permission to go to a toilet. On my way to the toilet, I saw many food courts. the food there seemed delicious. After finishing my arrangement with a personal banker, I went back to my office by walking. I think I need exercise, since my belly gets bigger and bigger. Not long after I walked, I saw clean "warteg", so I decided to eat "nasi rames" with "kerupuk". I also asked for orange juice. I paid the meal for thirteen thousand and five hundred rupiah. I have taken a rest for a while, before I started to walk again.
Actually, I had a good time walking a long the way from Cikini to Lapangan Banteng. Unfortunately, there are too many cars and motorcycles. I had difficulty in crossing the streets, like many others who did the same thing. I think my dark skin became darker caused by polluted air.
I have been wondering if I live in another country, like Australia for example, specifically Adelaide, South Australia, maybe I will get abundant fresh air and beautiful roads, but for sure I will not find "tukang ojek" who will drive me to not too long distance places and 'warteg" which is close to pedestrians with its low price of the meal which is only around 2 dollars with a variety of menu. Wareg for sure.
I missed them already.
