A little information about Venice
Venice can be easily reached from Italy either by train or by bus. Venice has an airport called Marco Polo offers direct flights to and from many cities. From the airport to the city, you can take water taxis. But, if you are looking for a cheaper, though longer, you may try water bus. Venice is shaped like a fish with the canals as the major thoroughfares. Don’t forget to bring rubber boots and carry an umbrella as downpours and street flooding is not uncommon. November is the city’s wettest month with the temperatures ranging from 10-15 C.

Sticky Betawi Heritage
Sticky Betawi heritage or usually known as “Dodol” is a traditional Betawi delicacy. It is made of sticky rice cooked with brown sugar. Dodol has become a must in every Lebaran celebration. The ingredients of the dodol are rice powder, brown sugar and coconut milk. All the ingredients must be continuously stirred until it is finished cooking.

Let’s recycle
Do you realize that one used plastic cup if it is thrown into the river or sea, it will, one by one, cover up all the bottom of the river or the sea and after some time the pile of the used plastic cup could mount up like a mountain.
The pile up of the used plastic cup that has been piled up for long will change into small pieces of debris of the size like plankton. And these plankton like debris will be eaten up by the fish and the fish will be consumed by humans. If it is so, it will be hazardous to consume the fish.
So, let’s recycle, reuse, and reduce whatever possible, especially, plastic cup.

Jakarta needs a monorail
Jakarta is one of the most populated cities in the world. There are about 12 million people who are either working or living in Jakarta. Thus, transportation is surely a serious problem. Right now, Jakarta has only the buses and the busway to serve the commuters. And, it is far from comfortable.
To compare, a monorail can travel up to 150 kilometers an hour; a car’s maximum speed is about 60 kilometers an hour (around the city); while motorcycle can reached about 80 kilometers. With this data, it is clearly stated that, Jakarta needs a monorail. Besides its bigger capacity, it is also more efficient in terms of time, cost, and energy. And the most important is, its low pollution.
