First Ojek Experience

Ojeks are the way to get around most of Indonesia, especially in Sentul. Ojeks, for those of you who don't know are taxi motorbikes. Basically you hop on the back of one and tell them where to go, or at least a vague vicinity.

The first time I went on I was convinced I was going to die. The driver weaves in and out of traffic avoiding getting hit by oncoming vehicles or huge potholes. But....I survived.

The way back to my house was a different story. We stalled 3 times (because we ran out of gas) and I scorched my leg on the exhaust. I have an 8 inch burn on my leg that is bad news!

I have taken ojeks a few more times after this first trip, however I am looking forward to having my own motorbike.
