Nice, France

I just can’t leave this alone. Detik grabbed a list of cities that exceed tourist expectations as well as those that underwhelm. The lists are supposed to have been taken from TripAdvisor and Escape but I can’t find the original.

What I can’t believe is how they translated Nice, France, into Bagus, Prancis. NICE. THAT FRENCH CITY, NICE. COME ON, THAT’S NOT NICE!

Not only did the Detik article made it past the editor(s?) if they even have one, the Popsi IG account didn’t even do their own fact check to catch the problem.

5 Million People Leave Jakarta as Idul Fitri Exodus Peaks

Jakarta Globe:

The Jakarta Transportation Agency predicted earlier that a total of 9.7 million citizens would make the journey from Jakarta to their respective hometowns for Idul Fitri, which is expected to fall this Thursday.

From that amount, 7.2 million people are expected to use private transportation, while the other 2.5 million will go by public transportation.

Nationwide, the figure is estimated to reach a total of 30 million.

Over half have left the city at this point.

So how many residents does Jakarta have again? If we have 12 million, that leaves less than a third of the city for a week, maybe with a few hundred thousand incoming as Jakartans who have moved elsewhere return to the city for the break.
