Jakarta Suggested Trips

your passport needs to have more than 6 months left until the expiary date otherwise they wont let you into the country.
however all personell do take bribes.

Jakarta can be a confusing experience when you're there for the first time. It's hot, very crowded, and even more chaotic. As much as I love Jakarta, I can only recommend it to the most adventurous travellers. It's actually not dangerous, contrary to popular belief. But you just have to know the city very well before you can enjoy it. I very much recommend the nightlife in Jakarta. The clubs and the crowd are just amazing there. It's very jamming, and way more liberal and wild than you'd expect!

Get the first train OUT to nearby Bogor (Buitenzorg). Fun little place with extensive, beautiful botanic gardens ... and much better air

Make sure your taxi driver understands your destination before you accept his service. Also women if you intend to tour the Mosque's do not wear shorts or tank tops.

For foreigners: please be careful in Jakarta. I recommend you not to take public transportation there because it's too dangerous for foreigners.
