Have been driving for one month. In this short period, I've observed couple of things. First, just realised Jakarta are full of impatient people. Along the road that I travel from home to office everyday I often hear people make a horrible sound from their car's horn. Don't know what do they after, seems like they are in hurry to reach a certain place. Probably people are stress with the bad traffic condition which have influence badly to their emotion. Sometimes I was infected to do the same way. I think I need to calm down and control my passion.
The next thing that I identified is the highway officer. In Jakarta we have to pay if we need to pass through highway. In order to pay, first we need to bypass a booth before go in the highway, there will be an officer that give you a ticket. Then when we are about reach the end of the highway we will encounter another booth where we have to pay. I often see that the face of the officers in the booths look cheerless. Don't know maybe they are bored or maybe they feel they are treated like a machine by the people who passing by. Then once upon a time, I made an experiment to smile and say thank you whenever I passed by the booth. I noticed that these officer smile back promptly. Just feel better when seeing other people smiling.
