Every Sunday, it's Car Free Day in Jakarta. Jalan Sudirman will be closed on car-free Sunday to cars between 6 a.m. and 11 a.m. It's crowded with Jakartan families who come for some relaxing, picknicking, hanging around or jogging.

A couple of blocks further, there's a Catholic ceremony in the Gereja Katedral, opposite of the Masjid Istiqlal Mosque. Every Sunday Muslims and Catholics share the same roads and parking areas for their prayers and services. True harmony between different religions.
