A live harp and violin performance by Lisa Gracia and Jonny Hutagalung accompanied 20 people who were enjoying vegetarian meals at the second newly opened vegan gourmet restaurant, Burgreens, on the rooftop balcony of the Organik Klub organic grocery store in Tebet, South Jakarta.
Hanging out in the restaurant means giving a treat to your eyes too, as the expansive balcony overlooks the city-owned 1,800 square meter Honda Park.

The healthiest thing you do living in Jakarta is move away! Pollution, nowhere to exercise outdoors (even walk safely) and fried/fatty/sugary food in abundance.

Healthy life style means people can breathe clean and fresh air in an environment full of green trees and colorful flowers surrounded by insects and birds. People also need space to do physical exercise by walking peacefully, safely and comfortably in the parks and also along sidewalks with shade trees to absorb excessive heat from the sun.
The shade trees will also be home to thousands of birds that will be very noisy in the early morning between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. when they must leave their nests to find food.
The noise will repeat from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. when the birds return to their nests after working hard during the day.
