Downtown Jakarta, Indonesia has flood problems for 2 weeks, with 2 more months of monsoon rains yet to go ... here people wade thru a flooded street to reach their offices on Jan18.  More than 20,000 people were living as evacuees on Jan22, while 20 people were killed during the widespread natural disaster, as the skinking of the city becomes worse year by year.  ADEK/Berry/AFP/Getty
