The main language in Jakarta is Bahasa Indonesia, but some people who have moved to Jakarta from smaller villages also speak a local dialect.
Rupiah is the currency used in Jakarta.
Every place is different but usually, a bottle of water costs 10,000 rupiah which is about 70 U.S. cents.
I love Indonesia food but when I'm in Jakarta, I usually eat food from other countries because it's widely available. On Wednesday, I had burritos for dinner, and they were so delicious.
My friend's favorite Korean band is called SHINee so we have been singing and dancing to that this week.
The most fun activity was the Storytelling competition in Jakarta. The theme of the competition was "The Future of Indonesia," so every student wrote a story about what we need to do in order to make the future of Indonesia better. Some stories were about pollution, and other stories were about body shaming or a lack of acceptance of minorities. It was all very powerful.
