Taking the Long(?) Way Home

Today, traffic was so bad around the school parking lot that four of us teachers walked home. After sitting in the sweltering school van for fifteen minutes in the stuffy underground parking lot, surrounded by a fleet of unmoving cars who only seemed to be good for raising the carbon monoxide levels and with no hope of budging anytime soon, we abandoned ship. We didn’t save that much time getting home, but it was time infinitely more pleasantly spent. I never thought I’d be relieved to be out in the “fresh air” of Jakarta.
