Well, for a person who is easy to get infected by flu or something related to this piratory system, this topic is pretty interesting. Where the place is, I have to say it is Jakarta. Two months ago I went to Jakarta and actually I often go to Jakarta because due to my official visit or travel. Why the air was polluted is because Jakarta is the capital city of Indonesia so that from the residents are really big in number. and then Jakarta is somehow is in this three-year-life city and then yeah because of the number of the residents is pretty big so you know it causes carbon footprint in a very huge number also and then I think one of the reasons is because the public transportation doesn’t grow linear with the number of the residents. And then what I feel about the place is, yeah, this is something inevitable. So, yeah, I felt so sad and uncomfortable about the situation of the air of Jakarta. So I couldn’t imagine myself living in a city where I couldn’t save fresh, clean air. So thank you.

Well, for a person who is easy to get infected by the flu or something related to the respiratory system, this topic is pretty interesting. Where the place is, I have to say it is Jakarta. Two months ago, I went to Jakarta, and actually, I often go to Jakarta due to my official visits or travel. Why the air was polluted is because Jakarta is the capital city of Indonesia, and the number of residents is really large. Jakarta is somehow in this three-year life cycle, and because of the large population, it causes a significant carbon footprint. I think one of the reasons is that public transportation doesn't grow in line with the number of residents. What I feel about the place is that this is something inevitable. I felt sad and uncomfortable about the air quality in Jakarta. I couldn't imagine myself living in a city where I couldn't breathe fresh, clean air. So, thank you.
