i was departed from the gambir central station at 1pm by executive train, the cirebon express. the ticket was quiet cheap, it cost me 65k rups, around us$7. well, the train wasn't too nice. the toilette was dirty and we can smell it from our seat.

for the first half hour the view was not nice at all. it was a slum areas along side the rail line. the area along side the rail line in jakarta is like an outlaw territory. but for another two and a half hours later there was a splendid green paddy fields.

but luckily on my way back to jakarta, i rode on a nicer train. no smell, no problem with the reclining seat and even faster, it was the argojati executive train.
