It's not a good morning here....

While most Indonesian are waiting for Manchester United (MU) to come here, there are people who do not want to see Indonesia moves forward. Six years after the bombing of JW Marriot Hotel, the hotel was bombed again this morning. Actually two hotels this time, J.W. Marriot and Ritz Carlton. Ritz Carlton is supposed to host the MU team while they are here.

I was phoning with my friend from wikimu (whose office is rather near the hotels), when she shouted: "Bomb!" I thought she was wrong, yet it was true...

She could not pass the police line, but uploaded a very simple information about the incident. I am a bit sad reading the comments...some are very insensitive...

I'm also sad with this reality, we are trying hard to survive the economic depression, and it would be good to have good investors came here. But, it seems that there are people who don't like our struggle to stabilize the economic condition here, and our effort to move forward.

There are already seven victims passed away, including the President Director of Holcim Indonesia, Timothy MacKay. My condolence to the family of the victims, and hopefully those who are still in critical condition can survive it.
