http://www.lightstalkers.org/galleries/contact_sheet/6413 Indonesia's capital and largest city, Jakarta, is home to around 12 million people, but the population is ever-expanding as rural migrants arrive seeking a better life. Instead, they find themselves living among eight million others in the dense slums of the city's urban sprawl. The slums are often built along river banks, highways and railway lines where only the desperate would choose to live. http://www.lightstalkers.org en-us http://images.lightstalkers.org/avatars/55/me_small.jpg http://www.lightstalkers.org/beawiharta <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/223529/mudik2_small.jpg' /><br />Passenger hands looks from train window during Ramadhan in Jakarta, 2007 <br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/223529'>view full-size image</a> http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/223529 Tue, 01 Jan 2008 05:28:49 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/223529 <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/223529/mudik2_small.jpg' /><br />Passenger hands looks from train window during Ramadhan in Jakarta, 2007 <br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/223529'>view full-size image</a> beawiharta <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/223502/ka1_small.jpg' /><br />Workers hang-on outside of a commuter train locomotive early morning in Jakarta<br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/223502'>view full-size image</a> http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/223502 Tue, 01 Jan 2008 05:28:49 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/223502 <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/223502/ka1_small.jpg' /><br />Workers hang-on outside of a commuter train locomotive early morning in Jakarta<br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/223502'>view full-size image</a> beawiharta <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/223505/BEA_MG_6528_small.jpg' /><br />Indonesian children take a bath near a construction site in Jakarta January 25, 2007.
