<< Indonesia                                           Jalan Kali Besar                          Back to Jakarta's Suburbs >>

It's hard to believe looking at today's inner city blight and decay that this road was once a highly sought after address. I'm sure with some cash and tender loving care it can be again.

The Red House was once home to Baron von Imhoff, a former Governor

Looking south along the Kali Besar

Old corner building Bank Indonesia. The bajaj and angkot are so Kota!

Imposing Art Deco on the opposite bank

You could nearly be forgiven for thinking you're in Amsterdam

Especially with the tall buildings reflected in the shimmering Kali waters...
