Jakarta Dos and Don'ts

Jakarta (J-town) The sumpek (crowded) city ever (from my point a view of course) even sumpek this city offer lots of fun and variation of view. For you who like a photography, you can get lots of funtastic lunatic outrages view here in J-town. Here the placed that I mostly visit for hunting a Fatahilah Museum, Sunda Kelapa Harbour, Monument of Monas, Bunderan HI, Catedral Catholic Church, Gold Dome Mosque, Ragunan Zoo, Sudirman Street, Suropaty Park, Indonesian Miniatur Park (Taman Mini Indonesia Indah) , and lots of Monument building. For you who like take a fashion picture just go to mall or Kemang Street or you go to the office area in sudirman-thamrin or kuningan you will get a perfect street fashion ever... ;b or you like take some artistic picture like me visit the traditional market like Senen or Kramat Jati. Outrages picture you can have it in Taman Lawang, Jatinegara, Bantar Gebang or Ciliwung and so on. "Where should I stay then?" dont worry, if you rich enough J-town have a lotta of 5 star hotel like Ritz, Shangrila, Mariott, or Four Seassons. Oh, low budget... thousands of hotel for the low budget tourist ;) Party goers? perfect J-town have lot of place for party Embassy, Centro, Vertigo, Bliss sometimes we have Sundaze in Pantai Marina Ancol and other of cool party. Just wanna hangout not partying, Kemang is the perfect place... they have food festival sometimes garage sale. "What should I bring?" MONEY... Did the locals were nice? some of them yeah, some of them no... if you lost in direction just find a police station go there and ask. For women Travelers, use guide from your hotel or trusted travel agent its better rather than you have travel alone ;) "Am hungry!!" we have thousand of restorant and cafe, you can find it in Mall or Hotel, from europe food to asian food, indonesia food in everywhere, love spicy got to Rumah Makan Padang or Daeng Tata in casablanca for the Makasar taste uuuuhhhmm yummy... Well... bon voyage... ;) avoid trouble and keep smiling

Big, big town!! Traffic is absolutely horrible here. Places to stay: The Grand Mahakam from Sofitel near Blok M. Very convienietly located next to 1 luxurous Mall and 1 cheaper one, plus the local busterminal. Foor food, go to Bakmi Gadjah Madah, behind Blok M. But avoid lunchtime as its full with the Jakarta working people. Several malls are located along the Jalan Thamrin, the main street through busines Jakarta. It has everything from plain Sarinah Mall to fancy Plaza Indonesia under the Grand Hyatt. Also check out the colonial Kota part. Also a bit run down but still nice.

Hot steamy, humid and exotic! Jakarta is awesome! I know the U.S. Consulate doesnt recommend U.S. Citizens travel to Indonesia, but what the heck. I loved it there. It is very very humid and muggy, the city is beautiful though. A very Islamic type of culture. All the talk you hear from the Western Media is all the Islamic Insurgencies and the Jemaah Islamiah terrorist group in Indonesia, etc...and granted there have been problems in the past with bombings but I saw none of this when I was there. The people are a little cold but overall it was a great experience.
