Words Around The Cities


(Found here)

Dear readers, I have a confession to make. I like to overhear what people are talking in the buses, on the road or at a cafe. It sounds creepy, but hey, New Yorkers and Chicagoers are doing it too!

I also find happiness in reading the Metropolitan Diary, the New York Times' weekly column about the vibrant life of New York and its residents. It's just so interesting to learn about the city from the simple daily lives.

When I googled the word "overhead+blog" I found immense sources across the world, including London. Whoa! Either it's contagious, or overhearing is actually human's basic trait.
For Jakarta's snippets of conversation, I usually check Nguping Jakarta. It's in Bahasa, so I guess there is another reason for you to learn Bahasa:)
