It was raining cats and dogs that day. I ran into the open yard of an office building and took refuge from the rain in the meong-2511.jpgsecurity guard’s post. The cat was already there, sheltering from the rain too. I watched the rain, he watched me. Unlike me who was eager to be on my way again as soon as possible, the cat seemed content and was in no hurry to leave.

This little fellow melt my heart when he sat and looked at me expectantly as i was eating at a street food tent in dog-begging.jpgPecenongan. He was so sweet and cute. I gave him some scraps from my plate and he let me pat him as he ate. There are a lot of stray cats and dogs in Jakarta, but stray dogs here have to endure a much harder time than cats. It always makes me mad when someone kicks a stray dog without reason or treat them cruelly simply out of spite.

Rafting and swimming season in Jakarta is usually during January and February, when the rainfall is at its peak.
