I entered the big street through the residential area. When you get to a certain big street, all the streets in Jakarta seem to be the same. There are shops, stalls, and people lounging about. The two men standing beside the pole were not doing anything in particular, but just lounging around and waiting for customers.
Both men were neatly dressed in long-sleeved clothing in a hot Jakarta. They were both motorbike taxi drivers. I guess they were afraid to wear short-sleeved clothes even if it was hot because of the nature of their business. Certainly, if you ride a motorcycle for work, you are more comfortable in long sleeves than short sleeves. It wasn't a rider's jacket they were wearing, but it was still much safer than short sleeves.
In contrast to the short-sleeved t-shirt I'm walking down the street sweating, the two men in the long sleeves didn't look like they were sweating at all. Was I just fat? Most of the locals were also wearing short sleeves and looking hot. The two men looked so cool and comfortable that I could only assume that they were born with different numbers of sweat glands.
