Hanging out in Jakarta
Usually one flies into the Soekarno–Hatta international airport and quickly shift too either Bali, Sumatra or onto the hinterland of Java but as I love cities I checked into a good hotel and made a trip of it whilst visiting a friend in the city. Jalan Thamin is a main drag that sucks most people to the centre of town, not really for the faint hearted if you’re driving but walking along you are meeting many characters that you wouldn’t meet on a charmed Kuta or Sulawesi beach.
