19 July 2012

Dear Lord

Thanks for your grace and your mercy, love you so much and thanks for my family, my job, my friends, my condition, my environment, my joy and my sorrow. Thanks for be my guardian.

Jesus I need to share about train in my country especially in Jabodetabek. I have many things to give thanks that I have opportunity to be stay here and see many people at economy class train.

I am stay in Bogor and I usually go back to Jakarta 2 times a month by train, it's almost 1, 5 hours from Bogor to Kota Jakarta. The price of economy class is Rp 2000, and the Commuter is Rp 7000.

I am prefer use commuter because it's more comfort than economy, but economy class more often come – back Jakarta – Bogor, so if I need to more quick I must use economy class. It's cheap and so many people there. And I try to make myself comfort J

In my opinion, many people use economy class not come from poor people but they need quick and they need shopping.

Why shopping? Yeah I love Indonesia and I love economy class train because so many people sell everything. The common things are water mineral, milk, tea, coffee, instant noodle, tissue, fruits, books, peanut, snack, tomato, onion, cigarettes, cake, candy, USB, card reader, Headset, powder, battery, powder spoons, ribbon, earring, ring, necklace, bandana, bangle, poster, book, belt, pencil, pen, matches, a cloth, prime card for many provider and many things. * I try to remember J

Otherwise shopping, we can find many "poor people with poor action ". Street musician, use guitar or bring tape recorder and microphone and walking while singing. Old people and physical dap, they looking for money in economy train. We can find also children as a street musician, they sing a song with a husky voice, and some of them just ask money or beg by clean the train.

I am recommended you to use economy train because you can see and meet with many people there and its can make you more giving thanks to God, because u can use train, u have a good condition that street musician and the lazy person who only can ask money.
