Floods in Jakarta in February 2007

Heavy rain in the mountains and in Jakarta itself caused extensive flooding in almost all parts of the city. The floods started on Friday 2nd February and in our area the flood waters did not recede until Wednesday 7th February. Many people, as we did, had to move from their homes taking any transport that was available and with only those possessions that they could carry. In typical Indonesian fashion most people remained cheerful through this calamity.
