@meimei, masikip kasi sa cebu pacific, maliit lang ako na tao pero nasisikipan talaga ako sa seats nila. mahilig din sila mag over book ng flights, nakakatakot at baka biglang mawalan kami ng seats. at ilang beses na ako naka encounter ng mga rude flight attendants sa international flights nila. kaya as much as possible naghahanap kami ng ibang airline na affordable yung fare, yung kahit medyo mas mahal sa cebu pacific pwede na. last option na namin ang cebu pacific.

salamat. tinignan ko yung jetstar kung ilang hours yung flight with the stop over. mukang pwede rin yung option na mag overnight kami sa singapore before we go to indonesia, tapos ganun din pag balik namin ng manila. 200 to 300 dollars cheaper yung tickets namin sa jet star sa pal based sa mock booking kanina. pero yung matitipid namin mukang mapupunta sa pag ikot ng konti sa singapore if ever pumayag yung family ko na may singapore stop over. pwede na siguro yun at least 2 countries yung naikot namin as a family.

^you can prebook your seats. get the first row or exit rows for longer leg room.

la pa rin kami hotel this Sept. 3 days 2 nights kami sa Jakarta. Parang ang naiisip ko lang na gagawin is Taman Safari tapos shopping like if there is any outlet store ng Nike, etc. Ngayon lang ako nahirapan sa paggawa ng itinerary, hehe

^My friends and I have bought oil paintings and wood carvings in Ubud during our trip in the early '90s. We didn't encounter any problems with their local customs. While a friend who had been there recently and bought 100K worth of carvings didn't have problems either. Ibang usapan na nga lang pagdating dito sa Pilipinas

i'm not so sure about the weather in September.. we went there kasi late October. maganda ang weather most of the time we were there, maaraw nung nag-beach kami. meron lang one day na super maulan nung umaga, pero umaraw na most of the day. which was great kasi we were able to watch the sunset in Jimbaran.

^ thanks sis. any must do or must see sa jakarta?

meimei · « **Reply #231 on:** August 02, 2012, 01:01:28 am »

^sis, di ako nag-ikot sa Jakarta eh.. i wasn't interested kasi feeling ko parang pinas lang (IMO) and not worth the terrible traffic in Jakarta. i opted to just enjoy the hotel i got near the airport (FM7 Resort Hotel) kasi flight ko to Bali the following day.

yung ibang Philippine delegates na kasabayan ko (i was there for a conference in Bali kasi), naglibot sila sa Jakarta pero nothing special daw. siguro kanya-kanyang trip lang yan.

nature buff kasi ako.

kaya Bali talaga ang habol ko, not Jakarta. maybe some of our sisses here na city buffs could help you build a Jakarta itinerary. pero kung gusto mo dumaan sa Bali, you can check my itinerary on page 9 of this thread.

^ ok, we will only be there kasi ng 3 days 2 nights. pwede nga naman na dumaan ng bali. will check it out. thanks. baka nga pag nasa jakarta lang kami ni hubby panay shopping lang kami, hhhehe

My hubby and I just booked our flights to Jakarta and Bali in December. Parang na disappoint ako upon reading na mas maganda pa beaches natin sa Pinas.. Oh, well, We are touring Asia kasi then hopefully next year, Europe na.

We initially planned to stay in Hardrock Hotel but mas maganda yata sa villa by the beach with private pool na in Bali. Any recommendations , mga sis?

phurple0515 · « **Reply #234 on:** August 24, 2012, 03:40:08 pm »

how much kaya ang alloted budget for 3 days 2 nights sa Jakarta pre pax, excluding hotel?

hi sis! regarding the beaches, yeah mas maganda ang beaches sa pinas. though in my opinion kasi, it's not so much the beaches as the scenic landscapes that are for appreciation in Bali. ako kasi, i super appreciate scenic landscapes kaya solved na ko dun, hehe.

like for example, yung cliff sa Ulu Watu, super amazed ako - i just loved breathing in the beauty of God's creation and watching the waves break into the rocks at the bottom of the cliff.

nagandahan din ako sa Tanah Lot. nanghihinayang ako di ako nakarating sa Ubud and in some other areas of Bali - medyo malaki rin kasi.

bukas na flight namin to Jakarta pero wala talaga akong nagawang itinerary kundi magikot lang sa mga malls. any suggestions?

coldsiren · « **Reply #237 on:** September 20, 2012, 05:25:14 pm »

next week na alis namin. 5 days kami dun.

overnight lang kami sa yogyakarta. naghanap ako online ng tour guide para mas maayos yung tour namin ng yogyakarta. nakita ko yung email ng tour guide sa lonelyplanet.com. ibigay ko feedback after ng tour namin. nag email din kasi ako sa ibang recommended tour guides at travel agencies na nakita ko online. pero mahal yung iba at di ganun kaganda yung english. yung kinuha kong gude sa kanya yung cheapest rate at pinaka maayos na english. hopefully, mag enjoy kami sa yogyakarta. sa hotel 1001 malam ako nag book. dapat sa pinaka mura na hostel kaso naisip ko na dun sa mid range priced hotel na lang para feel namin yung vacation namin.

most of time we will be in jakarta. may mag papasyal na sa amin sa jakarta. then may 1 day kami na kami lang ang iikot, so i guess sa malls kami pupunta to shop.

next time na lang kami pupunta sa bali.

walang mapupuntahan sa jakarta, as in tama kayo, mukhang pinas lang. kaya ang ginawa namin ni hubby, shopping galore don sa isang factory outlet sa Ambasssador mall. ayun, nag-enjoy siya kaka-shop. pero beware mga sis kung pupunta kayo sa mga factory outlets, kasi me mga outlets na nagtitinda din ng fake branded wears. kaya dapat marunong ka tumingin. buti nga kasama ko hubby, magaling sa ganon

tapos me chowking pa kaya kain ako halo-halo. namiss namin ni hubby chowking kasi nong umuwi kami Pinas last April di kami nakakain don e, hehe..

nanood ako EB Indonesia. kakatuwa lang. medyo naiintindihan ko konti kasi bahasa din naman dito sa KL.

all in all, pupunta lang kami ulit don kung gusto namin mag-shopping.

coldsiren · « **Reply #239 on:** September 21, 2012, 01:42:48 pm »

^ anong outlet stores yung napuntahan nyo?
anong shoe brands ba ang nandun at may outlet store?

pinilit ko lang yung kasama ko na mag yogyakarta kami. sana punta kami ng bali kaso kulang na sa oras. sa weekend kasi mag bonding kami ng kamag-anak namin dun. weekend lang sya free at di naman sya maka alis ng jakarta. yung last day namin sa jakarta kami mag mall bago kami umuwi.

sino pala yung nakapanuod ng ramayana ballet sa yogyakarta? worth it?
