Ok, guys. I'm affraid the place where I live isn't so exciting as the ones already posted... Ouch But here we go, anyway:


The central place of the town




The remnants of a former linen factory (the table on the second pic says "Have a nice work")














In a part of the factory there's a supermarket now




The Town's museum (it was the factory owner's residence at the turn of the XIX and XX centuries)






One of the streets near the factory

This is Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia, also a place where i grew up

Above is probably the most famous shopping centre in Jakarta

this is the National Monument

i must warn all of you though, DON'T FALL FOR THE PICTURE !, The reality is worse than that !
The devil we blame our atrocities on is really just each one of us.
