Jakarta is not the most inviting place to play outside with children because of the traffic, pollution and the ubiquitous smoking. It's just not easy. How far these moments appear where you can ride your bike to the park or for a walk. That said, for most parents there, it is simply not enough reason to stay inside the house or walking in the air-conditioned malls when it is such a beautiful day outside. Although this is not the best thing to do, armed with patience, sunscreen and water bottles, there are still ways to enjoy a few hours outside in the Big Durian.

About Me
I am the mother of a 10-month daughter, and I moved to Jakarta a few months ago. I travel a lot for work and for pleasure, but this trip is different with Anne baby for the ride. So when Jakarta Expat asked me to write a column in my life as a new mother in Jakarta, I thought it would be a great opportunity to share experiences and hopefully make life a little easier for some of 'between you.
