    Children of the village Kampung Air which is next to the Sunda Kelapa port, hang out on the bridge. They have no open spaces to play in their village, but the open sea is the only playground. Views[543] Fishing in your own yard is a common thing if you happen to live next to the sea. In this village next to the Sunda Kelapa port, it's called Kampung Air or literally sea village. Some of the houses are above the sea water. It's even possible to fish up from your own porch here. Convenient probably to some, but hygienic factor does not always the main part in this village. I took this picture away in the sea on the small boat. Views[331] A dock worker taking a break in port of Sunda Kelapa. Most of them are informal worker at the dock. Harsh environment conditions has become a day to day common thing. They working hours does not even better either. Some of them even started earlier than the Sunrise and the job does not even complete after the Sunset. Odd working hours at night is also part of their life.

Conveying some hopes and opportunities that put the sailors and fisherman of North Jakarta port into the ocean everytime. Views[602] Traditional ship at Sunda Kelapa port North Jakarta. These ship mostly used for fishing on the ocean. A journey took weeks, sometimes months that would earn them all sorts of fishery product commodities. Though some ship also provide sea freighter to most areas throughout the Indonesian Islands. Fishing alone sometimes does not really the brightest commodities these days in order to provide to their family. Views[417]
