Bad Traffic ,Polution & Places Far Apart

by cokes - last update: Aug 17, 2006

When I think of Jakarta it reminds me abit of Johannesburg. Everything is far apart so you gotta drive from place to place. The traffic is really crazy here and the driving is bad so it makes matters even worse when trying to get around. The people here is very nice and the food is good. I really liked spending time in Kemang as the night life is really nice there.

I want to say a special thanks to DidiBeachBum for arranging the VT meeting for me and a special Thanks for all the VT`ers who was there. I`m really sorry for not staying as long as I would have like but hopefully when I return I will stay longer.

I will return as I can safely say in Bahasa Indonesia
"Aku Cinta Indonesia"
I have to say a Big Thank You to Dewi as I`m really grateful that she showed me around.

Well you all know me ,jus keeping my mouth shut blending in. Jus pretending to be Indonesia hehehe I should join the secret service James Bond ;OP Anyway enough talking rubbish and I have to add this as I spent a night in Puncak just like many Indonesians do in Jakarta. I really enjoy going there ,its very beautiful I must say but the traffic is horrific.

The Factory Shops there get a 10 outta 10 from me. Why did`nt I just come to Jakarta with a empty bag ;O(

 Collin, Nice page of Jakarta. Bring back memories, traffic jam, Monas. Disco with beds! Remind me of a restaurant in Taiwan where you sit on toilet bowls! Yikes. Cheers, SL
