papunta kami ng yogyakarta next week, tanong sana ako about money exchange.:) parang mahirap pag dollars ang dala, paano kaya kung mag withdraw na lang sa atm? sa previous travels ko palagi ko itong ginagawa at hassle free naman pero gusto ko pa ring makasiguro kung ok ang ganito sa indonesia.:)

thanks sa info sis meimei, mas ok kasi ang exchange rate kapag sa atm kaya ganun na lang ulit ang gagawin ko. :D ano palang masarap na pasalubong galing indonesia para sa mga bata? sa kl kasi nakabili ako ng beryl's chocolate at sa bkk naman pocky choco banana, na naging favorite ng mga pamangkin ko, kaya nagpapabili ulit sila sa indonesia.

I just came back from a 3 day, 2 nights vacay at jakarta. Grabe run for your life lagi drama namin when crossing the streets. Di kasi uso ang traffic lights hehe.
But i like the people there, very warm and friendly. pag nag ask kami ng directions, kahit di nila maintindihan try talaga nila tumulong. SUper dumi lang ng streets nila, saka normal lang magtapon ng basura sa kalye.
We rode their bus, bajaj and train.Yung train nila kakaiba, may ngbebenta ng kung ano-ano at may kumakanta asking for donations. Grand indonesia and Plaza indonesia is nice also, maganda sa labas at loob yung malls nila, pero pansin ko nung ngpunta kami sa grand indonesia, super dilim niya.
Ang di ko lang ma gets eh, halos lahat ng makasalubong ko, girls and boys nakatitig sa akin. I just find it weird, di ko maintindihan hehe. Ewan ko wala ka masyadong magagawa sa Jakarta pero nag enjoy talaga ako. Maybe yung tao nila na appreciate ko talaga, siguro na compare ko lang dito sa tao sa singapore.

^^ buwis buhay talaga tumawid dito sa jakarta. Hehe. They don't follow pedestrian lanes. 

As for the train, you rode "transjakarta"?  Yung parang malaking extended bus?

Nakakatuwa rin kasi some of the Bahasa words are similar (or almost similar) to Tagalog:

kanan, mahal, murah, katuk, pintu, kambing, etc.

Kaya di nahirapan yung mga managers namin dun na matuto ng Bahasa Indonesia. Yun nga lang, kahit na magsalita ng Bahasa ambibilis nila magsalita! I ended up with dropped jaws. =))

Sobrang babait ng mga tao dito. Most of them are Muslims, but they are very warm and kind kahit na alam nilang Christian ka. Yun nga lang, we had to exercise our patience here. Masyadong lax ang mga tao dito, especially sa mga restaurants. =))

For me, must try yung Taman Safari if ever you won't be able to go to Bandung, Yogya, Bali, etc. (well, if you haven't gone to the safari found in Thailand, else, this trip will be "meh" for you). But you have to rent a car and sharpen your Bahasa language (or someone fluent in Bahasa has to talk for you).

@ sis cutiepie, yes transjakarta yung nasa gitna ng kalsada. Nagpunta kami Kota Station.Yung bus pala yan, yung train yung may gambir station. Super luma na, parang PNR sa atin.
Namimiss ko na nga jakarta, may na meet pa nga ako guy dun lol.
Pero sis bakit kaya sila nakatingin sa akin? dahil naka shorts ako? bawal ba siya? medyo na weiweirduhan lang kasi ako. Buwis Buhay Team nga tawag ko sa amin kasi talagang buwis buhay mag cross ng streets LOL. sa Thamrin Condotel kami ngstay near Thamrin mall. Gaganda ng mga Maxi Skirts sa thamrin mall, pinigilan ko lang sarili ko wag mag shop hehe

^^ mahilig sila magstare especially sa public places if they think na hindi ka local. hehe. hindi naman bawal pero madalang lang ang nakashorts lalo na kung nagcocomute. hehe.

maganda maxi skirts nila coz mostly muslims ang naka maxi skirts eh. even pants and chiffon type tops madami maganda. though mas fashion forward pa din ang pinas. :)

^ @ sis, parang ako lang nakita kong naka shorts. Naisip ko kasi mainit without even considering na Muslim Country nga pala sila.
Na appreciate ko lang mga tao dun kasi parang ibang iba kesa dito singapore hehe. Parang breathe of fresh air para sa amin.
Oo mas fashion forward nga sa pinas kesa dun, pero ang daming guapo LOL parang pinas!

oo nga sis, mas advisable na mag-adjust din tayo sa culture ng pupuntahan nating lugar. syempre di naman nagsusuot ng shorts ang women nila, so baka "temptation" ang tingin when you reveal too much skin. when we went to Indonesia, yung isang kasama ko, nagulat ako naka-short shorts nung makita ko sa airport, parang gusto ko siyang takpan ng sarong or something, hehe. :) pinagsabihan siya nung kasama namin, kasi grabe naman ang ikli ng shorts. buti pinagsabihan ng kasama namin, kasi kahit ako eh uncomfortable tumingin sa kanya, hehe.

pero ang courteous talaga ng locals nila, sobrang na-appreciate ko talaga ang warmth nila. very helpful, very warm people.

^The places that's just about 1hr away from Singapore is either Bintan or Batam. Bintan is more on beaches... Batam on the other hand is what I call a "mini tourist trap". Why the name? The place is infested with lots of fake stuff and you'll even find some international fast food joints na ginaya ang name and logo na localized ;D Even coke, sprite may "fake" version :P The only thing I look forward to in Batam is the massage :) It's way much better than our massages in Manila, and cheaper too! :D Food is cheap but the int'l fastfoods are expensive like A&W etc. Seafood is relatively cheap compared to Singapore, BUT you have to know where to eat. If you're going to those tours, don't expect much :)

And please be careful when traveling to Indonesia. Mas madaming loko doon compared sa atin. Uso rin sa kanila ang nanghahablot ng bag/jewelry riding a motorcycle, bukas kotse gang and the likes. You will learn to appreciate Manila when you visit Indonesia. That's for me atleast :)

Mga sissies, nag backread ako, kaso I want to ask sana kung ilang days ang aabutin ng, let's say, 17K na budget ko for Indonesia? Pocket money lang yon, accommodation and air transportation will be booked in advance. Balak ko sana 1 month kaso mukhang malabo 1 month. Hahahaha.
