Re: Jakarta Info
Hi Bros out there, I only been once to Jakarta but starting to fall in love with the scene there. I always been to bangkok and I thought they are the best, but one man's meat is another's poison. To me, I prefer Jakarta, the girls there seem to be very accommodating compared to Bangkok, my personal experience.
Anyone knows when will the fasting period start and will the girls still be there during the fasting period? The last time I went, I went to classic hotel and it is a experience that I can't forget....

Re: Jakarta's trip
Hi bro,
Here is something interesting from the net. The Best Transportation Means In Jakarta What is the best way to get around in Jakarta? Question from Nicholas There is a wide range of transportation in Jakarta, each of them answering to different needs.. There is not one best way to get around, but different options that you have to know to make the best choice when going from point A to point B. Since there is a lack of common mass transportation (there is a lot of them actually but it's a huge mess and packed to the max), you will end up paying a lot for your transport in Jakarta if you have a lot of road to make. During your stay in the capital, you might ride one of the following: Becak: Man-powered rickshaw. Never tried, they have some in some areas of Glodok, it's more of an old chinese women thing, and I don't think even tourists dare taking it.. Bajaj : It's the equivalent of the motorized rickshaws in India or the tuk-tuk in Thailand. They cannot use the main roads so they are pretty much limited to operate in a smalll area . Some drivers will tell you that they can take you from Kemang to Kota, but it's crazy.. Bajaj is ok for distances up to 1 km or so. I use them when I have a very short trip to make and i don't want to walk, for instance if i'm back from the grocery store, 800 meters from my house, or back from Pizza Hut and I have to hurry back home. It costs between 3000 et 8000 rupiah. Above, you'll be better off taking a taxi. Ojeks : Motorbike-taxis. Very convenient because it is very easy to find one and they will help you avoid traffic. The price must be negotiated before, and usually it's about 10000 to 15000 rupiah for a 20 minutes ride. There are two main problems with it though: It's extremely unsafe and you are directly exposed to the city's air pollution. If you want to start a business in Indonesia and you need an idea, a friend of mine wanted to launch some sort of "executive" ojeks, with a taxi-meter, a real helmet, a mask against pollution and a cleaning tissue at the end of the trip. He broke up with his girlfriend so he dropped his plan but I really think it would be a great idea. Anggot: An anggot (or bemo or mikrolet) is a small van that picks up everyone on a well-defined route. It stops and goes approximately every 100 meters so it's not very fast and the worst part is the comfort since you are usually 8 or more in an area that should only accomodate 4 pygmies max. The good part of it is that it's really cheap, around 2000 rupiah, no matter how far you go. I was using it on specific very short trip, like when I go to Mangga Dua Square from Stasiun Kota. Very local as well, people are usually amused to see bules in there. Private buses: It's the cheapest way to make long connexions within the city (2000 rupiah), but during the day, they are extremely packed, hot and dirty and the safety is not the number one priority. At night, it can be OK because there are less people and it's not as hot. The most famous ones are the Kopaja (Koperasi Angkotan Jakarta, the green and white ones) and the MetroMini (the red and blue ones). Look at the letter of the buses, each one corresponds to an area: P= Pusat (centre of Jakarta), B= Barat (west), S=Selatan (South), U= Utara (North), T= Timur (East). Next to the letter, you have a number, that indicates the route. For instance, the Kopaja S66 is the one that goes from Blok M to Manggarai. Once you memorize a few routes, it is not that bad to use. Transjakarta: It's pretty good compared to the rest, though it's rare that you can make a whole trip using only the Transjakarta since inter-connexions are still not very numerous. They have their own dedicated lane, making it the fastest mean of transportation during the worst traffic hours. It is more expensive than a normal bus but the service, though imperfect, is much better than in Kopajas. I use it quite often, for instance from Plaza Indonesia to Kota. Taxis: There are a lot of taxi brands in Jakarta, not all with the same tarification. The "tarif lama" or "tarif bawah" are the less expensive (around 30% less). The best brand is Express Taxi (and also the safest). I also like to take Transcab. The "tarif baru" are more expensive, starting 5000 rupiah, and don't always offer much more service than the others, except maybe for Blue Bird and Gamya, the two recommended taxi brands. Express, Blue Bird and Gamya taxis always put the meter on, but for other company you have to ask before entering the vehicle: Pakai meter? Do you use the meter?. You may also encounter the silver bird, about 20% more expensive than the usual blue bird taxis, but you ride in Mercedes... Don't be paranoid about taxis, if you're new, just wait 50 seconds until a blue bird shows up (make sure it is a real blue bird and not a copy...) and take it. At worst, the guy may not take the shortest route if he sees you are new and you'll end up paying 2 dollars more. This is someone's writing not necessary my opinion. My humble two cents.

Re: Jakarta's trip
Hi bro,
Got this from the net, found it to be good reading. Bali Nightlife Vs. Jakarta Nightlife: Which one is the Best? A few people asked me how partying in Bali compared to Jakarta. They intended to spend some time in both and they wanted to know in which place they would have the best parties. I'm not a specialist of Bali nightlife, but I've been there enough times to have an opinion. If you think you know better, please comment. Partying in Bali can be done almost exclusively in a tiny area that goes from Kuta-Legian to Seminyak. In Kuta, the crowd is dominated by young Australians in T-shirt and shorts as well as tourists from all over the world. It is what I could call holiday partying: In any given nightclubs, you will find a whole bunch of people who just happen to be on holidays in the same spot; they aren't always regular clubbers and do not have a lot of expectations except getting drunks, hear music they know, find a girl/guy for the night, etc... Kuta is laid-back but I don't really like it. One night is fine because it is a part of any trip to Bali, but after that, I get easily tired with the lack of "refinement". Paddy’s and Bounty are the most famous places in this area: The entrance is free so you should at least try one of them.. Slightly better, you have the Sky Garden lounge which is similar to M Bar Go but more trendy these days: The crowd is more educated, the music not as predictable and you see more regular clients. Another popular venue in Kuta is the Hard Rock Café, where most patrons are locals or Asian people. I never tried it but I know they have some good rock bands. Otherwise, you have a fairly good number of small bars with live music or DJs that are quiet most evenings. Actually, my favourite place in Kuta is the Deejay Café (update needed though because I went there 3 years ago) which is similar to a Jakarta's Kota nightclub, dark and populated by weirdos. It is a place for "afters" so you should go there only around 4-5 am... The music is tribal electro, the same you hear in Stadium. Seminyak is only a few kilometers away from Kuta but it's far better. In Jalan Dhyana Pura, Bahiana is quite popular for latin music. Patrons are mostly expats or regular travellers, and you'll meet many french people (the owner is French). A little down the road, there are some bars with live music, and many gay spots actually. I think this part of Bali is the best place to start a night slowly in a relaxed atmosphere. Depending on the traffic, you can then choose to try Jalan Legian in Kuta (see above) or go directly to the Double Six area. The Double Six area is where everyone who intend to stay up after 3am meets. The area has 4 main venues: Bacio, the best club in Bali at the time of writing, la Vida Loca, a popular hangout with live music and lots of Indo girls, the club 66 (Double Six), which can be great when they manage to fill it and Deja Vu, which is similar to Bacio. Doing the 4 of them in one evening is very easy and a fun thing to do! I forgot to mention Ku De Ta, very exclusive and perfect for a drink before sunset but way too expensive compared to other places (I paid 120 euros for a 2-persons meal with one mojito and a coke...). Apart from Kuta/Legian/Seminyak, Bali is quiet. Ubud has a few bars with live music but it's definitely not a party place. Sanur is famous for having hundreds of "massage parlours" and karaokes but no good bars or clubs. Near Lovina Beach, i went to a really big club once with only Indonesian people inside but I forgot the name… So how does all this compare with Jakarta? To me, I think in terms of venues, Jakarta is much better than Bali. In Jakarta, you have at least 20 world-class venues that can host international DJ performances compared to 5-6 in Bali. This means that even after 3 years in Jakarta, i'm still discovering new places whereas in Bali one week is enough to try everything. This blog has almost 300 entries for bars and clubs in Jakarta, I’m sure I could never do the same thing in Bali. Jakarta 1 – Bali 0. Also, Jakarta has a real clubbing culture when Bali is more focused on partying. Yes, partying and clubbing are different things. Clubs in Jakarta pay a growing attention to the music played and many residents DJ are starting to have a good knowledge of the worldwide electronic music scene. In Bali, music often comes second because the clubs have people from various backgrounds and to satisfy everyone, they choose to play mostly mainstream music. Unfortunately hearing all the latest radio hits one by one every night is not my thing at all. Jakarta 2 – Bali 0. I also find the service (waiters, taxis, etc) to be worst in Bali, where people are always trying to over-charge you for everything you buy. This is probably due to the fact that most foreigners in Jakarta are expats, i.e. permanent residents of Indonesia, when most people in Bali are there for a short period of time. Clearly, I don't get the same respect in Bali than in Jakarta. I don't blame people for trying to make a living but surely I blame many westerners for behaving as people not worth respecting. Jakarta 3 – Bali 0. Another thing I don't like about Bali, especially Kuta, is that it can be quite vulgar and cheap. In many clubs, you will find people getting really drunk, just like they would do in Dundee (Scotland, I was there and it was the same thing). When you have ten Aussies dancing without their T-shirts on next to you, you wonder why you had to fly 18,000 km to a paradise island to end up with the same idiots you have back home. Once again, one or two evening is fine, but too much of that would make me mad. Jakarta 4 – Bali 0. Bali nightlife has one good point actually: It feels like holidays. And even though I don’t like it, I always spend a night partying in Kuta when I go to Bali. I drink an illusion in Bounty, go on the podium in Paddy’s, struggle to get a cab to Bahiana, then always end up too early in Double 6. I don’t know if it’s fun but I know that when I’m there I’m on holiday and nothing else really matters… Jakarta 4 – Bali 1. In conclusion, if you are on holiday and you want to have fun, Bali is great. You will meet a lot of people from all over the world that are looking for the same thing as you. The music is not great, the venues are a little dirty and you might get ripped off by the taxi driver, but you will end up drunk in your hotel, probably with a girl if that’s what you are after. If you have more time to spend in Indonesia and if you are more serious about clubbing, come to Jakarta. Jakarta nightlife is completely different, but I'm sure you will enjoy it too. It’s not as laid-back, but maybe more “mature” and more diverse. To give you a more precise idea, you should read my guide "Jakarta Nightlife Tips" and "5 Things You Will Love About Nightlife In Jakarta". I hope this blog article gave you a first idea of the main differences between partying in Bali in Jakarta. My humble two cents.

Re: Jakarta Info
Quote:
Ramadhan starts on the 29 / 30 July and ends on 29 August. 30th Aug is Indul Fitri. During the fasting month, the local government will order all entertainment centre, including billard joints to close except for facilities attached to the hotels. So you can still find fun at Malioboro, Classics and Alexis. All those stand alone joint will not take the risk of opening during this period. Many of the girls will either return to their kampongs or try to get a job at one of these spas. I would dare say, Jakarta is only 50% functioning during the fasting month. PUBs etc are also forbidded to sell acholic drinks lest they or face the wrath of the FPI - a notorious Islamic Defender Group, that will go round in motorcycles smashing PUBs with flouted the law. They are also frequently seen in large groups on motor cycles patrolling the red light districts of Kota and Block M to weed out vices. Be very careful if you want to venture out for fun during the month of Ramadhan.

Again I'm repeating this for the sake of safety & to avoid being conned by this con artist @ aakumu/his clones/Long Dick;
I'm so glad you pointed out to me & all forumers that you're on Moderation as I had forgotten the Mods need to moderate your postings before approving of your postings! Guys you decide whom you wish to believe ??? Con Man with negative (-) 129 points or Seniors with many years on the forum, well respected & above all +points! It shows who you should trust & whom you shouldn't!!! The Mods are doing thier job to protect the forum from such con man & let's keep it safe! I agree that the choice is yours to partake or to avoid but do think twice becoz your action may result in not only lost of hard earned $ from being conned to not only pay above market prices based on past FRs but more importantly would you trust your safety to a proven FAKER/PROVEN MULTIPLE NICKS/PROFILE/THREAT ISSUER TO INNOCENT PARTIES/PROVEN ABUSER OF SAM'S forum??? I definatly WONT! Quote:

Re: Jakarta's trip
Hi bro,
Here something I got from the net. Hope this could get you started on Block M. My Bar or MyBar (Blok M) Girls bar with house/Rnb music. 10 girls for 1 guy ratio. Come there late and drunk if you want to have fun. It used to be the most popular place on Blok M but now it's not so good. Typical of a Southeast Asia hooker bar. Live music (rock/top 40) on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday nights. Sexy bar dancers on Friday and Saturday nights Read the review and see more photos about MyBar (Blok M) on our french blog Crazy Nights In Jakarta. My Bar Jl. Falatehan 1 no. 16, Blok M Phone number: +62-21 739 6510 My bar is also famous for editing the Blok M Calendar, with professional pics of some of the hottest working girls in Blok M. Here are a some sexy pics of the most beautiful models (in my opinion):

Re: Jakarta's trip
Hi bro,
Not much dress code to party in Jakarta. But in some hotel's bar and some the city night clubs [like Zuok] , smart causal would be preferred, other than that almost everything is ok as long as you have money. Hope this could help. My humble two cents.

Re: Jakarta Info
Just to share some additional info on Maliboro hotel:
Massage: Better to opt for indonesia gers. Used to try PRC (panda massage), they keep demanding for more and more tips. The last time, i tipped the lady 200k and she didnt provide special, she still whined that im stingy. Fuck off. And previous encounters, hj cost 400 - 500k, with body massage at 1m. So after that incident, tried Indonesia massage. The massage is good and her (.)(.) is E cup. I asked her cup size, she said D but i seen D before and i pretty sure its much bigger. They will not ask you if you want hj and u need to initiate. As i wanted to see her (.)(.), tips is 200k. If no special, 50k to 100k is sufficient. As for the poolside shower, for 6 flowers (300k ++), the gers will accompany you for shower. Most provide hj but i come across 1 who offers me bbbj. But i declined as she already went for shower with a guy prior to approaching me. haha.
