We finally arrived at Jakarta, a rather large airport. As soon as we left the arrival hall a bunch of cab drivers approached us and wildly gestured that they offer transport. We decided to go with one of the companies instead of the private driver (as recommended).
My first impression as soon as we approached the city was not really great. It was a grey and smelly city. The roads were blocked with traffic. I really hoped that it would get better. The only positive thing so far was that we were finally millionaires :)
We quickly dropped our luggage at the hotel and went straight to the next food mile which was just a 5 minute walk. It smelled everywhere very badly and we were a bit afraid as everyone seems to offer something, worse than in the other Asian countries we have been to. We tried our best to ignore everyone.
After the delicious meal we went to one of the bars nearby. Because we arrived already late, the bar was already busy and filled up with locals and travellers, looked really like a bunch of nice people. So we sat down and not one minute later a guy who worked there (that’s at least what he said) sat down and we enjoyed the evening with a few beers.
A little bit later we went on to a club, called Stadium. Other travellers told us that this is basically the only place in Jakarta where you could go when you want to party long.
We forgot that we were wearing flip flops. As soon as the ladies at the entry told us that we could not enter the club with them and offered shoes for rent, we actually wanted to leave, but our company managed to convince the ladies to let us is anyway. Very early we realized that they sold a lot including drugs. We were not really impressed. The music was ok, but our mood didn’t go up and we left an hour later to head towards our hotel for some sleep.
All in all a fun night out, but I wouldn’t do that again.
You still haven't quite figured out how to use sun cream I see
