[QUOTE=Mighty Spearsman] the famous Cynthia of Kartika MP sadly died two weeks ago):
[/QUOTE]
What happened to poor Cynthia? Did she die in an accident, from illness or from some other cause?
[QUOTE=Miao28]What happened to poor Cynthia? Did she die in an accident, from illness or from some other cause?[/QUOTE]
Unfortunately we may never know the truth about Cynthia's death. According to Rista, a co-worker at Kartika who comes from the same kampung, Cynthia supposedly had some serious stomach ailment that caused her face and body to bloat.
After Cynthia died, I asked Rista point-blank if Cynthia had AIDS and Rista said no. However, considering Cynthia's profession, it's certainly a possibility, and considering the stigma surrounding AIDS, Cynthia might not have told Rista or anyone else that she had AIDS if in fact she did have it.
It's also possible that Cynthia had AIDS and didn't know it, considering the lousy medical care and lack of proper testing facilities in this country, especially in rural areas. It's also possible that Cynthia's death had nothing to do with HIV or AIDS or any STD, considering the myriad other diseases (typhoid, tuberculosis, dengue fever, food poisoning, bronchitis, etc.) prevalent here in Indonesia, especially among the lower income population.
Cynthia first went home to her "kampung" (home village) near Semarang in late June as she wasn't feeling well. Sadly, she never returned to Jakarta. She apparently visited a local practitioner of traditional medicine in her village, and took "jamu" (traditional herbal medicine) instead of western drugs.
I talked to her on the phone a couple of times in July/August, also sent one million rupiah to her twice (through Rista). I stopped hearing from Cynthia once Ramadan started in mid-September as her cell phone ran out of pulsa and she turned it off, and I was not able to send more money to her as Rista (and Cynthia's other friends from Kartika) were all home in their villages.
When Rista returned to Jakarta in late October, she told me that Cynthia was still sick, and I seriously considered flying out to Semarang to see Cynthia and find out what's up (I wrote a post about that a month ago). Unfortunately I never got the chance to do so, and now it's too late.
Rista travelled to her kampung last week and met with Cynthia's family. Understandably they are all devastated by what happened, especially Cynthia's mom and 3-year-old son. I may travel to the kampung myself soon to express my condolences in person (yes, I know the family will ask me for money for the son!).
Interesting side comment about modern technology: Cynthia died at 5 p.m., not 3 p.m. as I first reported, and I received an sms from Cynthia's sister within one hour, informing me of the death. While it's possible that the sister knew who I was, more likely the sister was just sending sms messages about the death to everyone on Cynthia's mobile phone "contacts" list, something that would not have been possible ten years ago.
[QUOTE=Ekspat]Will be there coming weekend and may write down my opinion afterwards.
But your price tags are too high in my opinion.
Girl in any Hotel bar is 500k overnight maximum.
I've paid usually less than that and got good service,
but I have to admit it was 2005/2006.
2007 I don't know, but it can't be a million.
Anyone out there for some beers somewhere?
Drop me a line.
This time I travel KL-CGK by KLM Business Class.
Lets see whether the stewardesses
are same unfrienly as in Economy, hehe. :D
Cheers![/QUOTE]Hi Ekspat. You'll be surprise as to how demanding the girls are in Jakarta nowadays especially 5 Star Hotel Bars. A girl qouted Rp800,000 a pop to me at BATS (recently in November) and when I insisted on Rp400,000 a pop, she says "good luck with the rest of the girls!" She can demand that price as I, myself would tag her as "Da Bomb".
After telling my family jewel to hold his horses (yes, I do hold constructive conversations with my penis), I manage to find one for Rp500,000 a pop after 1:30am (BATS shuts at 2am). I would grade her as Grade C+ to B- as the good ones are all taken. I didn't like it.
As for KLM Business Class. Good choice. It is worth it. But you'll still get the same cold attitude of their flight attendance ;P Anyways, it is a short 2 hour flight. Just make sure you guzzle the champagne!!
Have fun in Jakarta!
[QUOTE=Mongerxx]Don't partonize those venues
I am assuming you are talking about freelancers.
Blok M freelancer girls should get 200-250K inclusive of taxi money for a one pop shorttime. Add 100 -150K to those numbersfor LT. However, it sure seems more recently that a lot of the better looking girls hold out for 500K as they are sponsored. Up to you if you think they are worth it. Personally I rarely see a Blok M worth that kind of money.[/QUOTE]Thanks for your advice Mongerxx. I too find the girls in Blok M not worth more than Rp300,000.
The new trend for these "working girls" are to try their luck at 5 Star Hotel Bars and get double or triple of what they are worth. 2 good examples are BATS and Tiga Puluh. I got to know from a reliable source that CJ's is one place that actually screen all girls flowing in and will refuse entry to the drop dead fugly ones.
Knight 1001,
Figured you would be interested. I have saved 1 Durex Play for you, mate.
Mighty Spearsman,
You are a very nice person. Lucky her to have a client like you.

If I am not mistaken, Bats have changed their closing time to 4 am now.
good travel information picked from @ [url]http://wikitravel.org/en/jakarta[/url]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
telephone
wartel telephone shops are ubiquitous on the streets of jakarta.
if you see a public telephone, lift the receiver and check the number in the display near the keypad. if the number is not 000, don't insert coins, because the phone is broken. they usually are, but are very cheap (just 0,001 $/ minute) when they do work.
internet
if you have your own laptop, it may run free wlan networks at many of the capital's malls. ask at the information desk for access codes. free hotspots are also available on most mcdonald restaurants and starbucks cafes. several hotels also provide free hotspot on their lobby.
internet cafes are available in many parts of the city with a price of rp. 4,000 - rp. 5,000. however, most of them only have dial-up capabilities. most of the internet cafes can be found around universities, and in most shopping malls. however, the internet connection speed can be better in the internet cafes found at malls.
if you are keen on using the internet for long hours, try to get the "happy hour" deals provided by internet cafes near universities. they provide 6 hours of surfing on the internet for rp. 12,000, but only available at midnight to 6 am.

hospitals with 24 hour emergency room (er): see the jakarta district pages.
stay healthy
tap water in jakarta is not drinkable. always use bottled water, even for brushing your teeth.
according to world health organization (who), jakarta is the 3rd most polluted city in the world after mexico city and bangkok.
during rainy season (december, january, february), lower parts of jakarta (mostly those to the north) are often flooded.
there is a new law against smoking at public places in jakarta, and the smoker can (in theory) be fined up to us$5000. if you want to smoke, ask other people first: boleh merokok?
stay safe
strict gun control laws make jakarta safer, but theft and robbery are problems. be on your guard in crowded places such as markets, because pickpockets often steal wallets and cellular phones. keep a close eye on your valuables and choose your transportation options carefully, especially at night. for all-night party excursions, it may be wise to keep your cab waiting — the extra cost is cheap and it's worth it for the security.
theft and robbery are the main security problems for a foreign tourist. don't leave cash, valuable items and important documents in an empty hotel room. put it on hotel's safe deposit box. put a copy of your passport and the original id card/driver license on the hotel's safety deposit box. if you are inside the hotel room, always use the deadbolt/chain lock. if you suspect something is wrong, call the front desk.
bring your passport and a copy of your id card/driver license all the time.
never show or carry your valuables like wallets, jewelry, gold watches, cellular phones, personal digital assistant (pda), mp3 player, large camera prominently.
if possible, don't bring any bags. if you must, keep them in front of you, not on your back or by your side.
in cheap hotels, the hotel's safe deposit box is probably safer than leaving valuables in your room. deadbolt/chain lock the room when inside, and call the front desk if you suspect an intruder.
avoid quiet or dark places.
choose reputable taxi companies and make sure the doors are locked and the windows are closed. blue bird group taxis are the safest bet. check for "blue bird group" in large white letters emblazoned at the top of the taxi's windscreen.
always split your valuables in 2 places (e.g. keep your money in your wallet and also in your pocket. you may also want to keep some in reserve under your socks).
police are largely useless when it comes to crime prevention, and may attempt to extract bribes from any foreigners (the going rate for not having your passport with you is rp. 50,000).
if you're very unfortunate and meet some bad guys, just let them take your valuables. by doing so, at least your personal safety is guaranteed. of course, if you have ju-jitsu black-belt, you can try to practise it (but don't say we didn't warn you).
keep/remember the contact number of your country's embassy and other important emergency numbers.
the high-profile terrorist bomb blasts at the jw marriott in 2003 and the australian embassy in 2004 mean that security in jakarta is heavy, with car trunk checks, metal detectors, and bag searches at most major buildings. still, statistically this is more a nuisance than a real threat, and enforcement of the security rules tends to be lax at best.

JAKARTA AFTER DARK[/QUOTE]
Long time no see ya. Can u reserve one for me too?
Thanks buddy/
Since we are on the issue of price??
For the Blok M girls... My standard is 300-400k and that is overnight but I rarely goes there nowadays.
For those so called freebies from Cafe in Kemang, I give them Taxi money only when they come again to my house. and that ranges from 300-500k for taxi money.
Last night was out with some friends karaoking and friends brought friends. One of the girl was a real good singer and as her friend later mentioned, she sings in Private function and Bars from times to time. She is going to Semarang later this week on another consignment. So we sung and drink and talk till the party end at 12 mid-night. I asked if she want to come to my place and she reluctantly say yes and later no and finally got her into the taxi leaving her friend behind...... Back in my house, told me she is 26, got a ten year old kids and got married in Manado at age 14..... Should I believed? Anyway, we continiue with some beer and with a bit of persuading, she goes to my room... Had a wonderful session together.
She said she has to go back as she do nto want her kid to see her coming back early in the morning..... So how much Taxi would u give to a semi - professional singer??????
I think I gave her 750k. Do u think that is reasonable????
Cheers
As some of you might have read in my earlier post regards this girls I brought back from the KTV?
Well. Went there again and she again follow me back.... and again she disappear when I woke up....
And from this onward, she would drop by 2-3 times a week at around 2 am just to have sex n then disappear when I woke up. Until today, still have no change to give her any monies. I would presume she must have spend some 200k per trip just to come from Kelapa Gading to the South and then back not to mention she bring foods sometimes to have supper or maybe breakfast since she always arrive at 2 am or later.
She kept insisting that we should try to do 3 times/night but that's not possible considering my age and the short hours that we have together.
What was worst is that when her BF was here something last month, she still called me to go to her hotel.
Is she insane or a sex manic?
Cheers
Ps : she just SMS me to call her....
You say: "...2 good examples are BATS and Tiga Puluh. I got to know from a reliable source that CJ's is one place that actually screen all girls flowing in and will refuse entry to the drop dead fugly ones."
- having been to CJ's last week I don't think it's true that ugly ones are banned! In general the standard is better than 30 Bar however which I think is now really dire.
I was in 30 Bar last Friday between about 11pm and 12 with a girl and two local guys. There were only around 70 people (yes I counted) in the main area and maybe 20 in the bar at the foot of the escalators. Probably 25 or so females and not one that I would have had (apart from the one I was already with!), even if I had been desperate. I managed to speak to one girl who was not that bad but 30Kg too heavy (for me) in the interest of research and she wanted 100USD. Paying her that would be utter lunacy in that environment yet I saw a guy leave with her 20 minutes later, hopefully not a contributor to this forum?.

Business guys (like me) who don't know the prices (that's not me!) are ruining it at BATS and other places. They figure $100 is a 'bargain'.
Stick to your guns and move on....
[QUOTE=Smoothy]Menteng, from Colombia to Jakarta. What a rough life you have.
I'm working with some Colombian guys here in Venezuela. I haven't been having a great time with the Venezuelan girls due to the lack of gfe they have been providing so far. But one of the guys flew his colombian girlfriend in last week and asked me if I wanted to pay to fly her friend in for myself. She'd stay in my room and I would need to pay her flight in, and for her food. That would also give his girlfriend someone to hang out with. Supposedly she was a former contestant in the Miss Colombia contest and was hot, but I was skeptical. After seeing her picture, I agreed to pay to fly her in. That was the best money I've spent in a long time. If many other Colombian women are like that one, I have to get to Colombia! I envy you spending so much time there. It must be tough to leave that country.
Variety is good though - enjoy Jakarta. I'll be there again soon as well.[/QUOTE]
Smoothy, I had the opportunity to visit Caracas for a week recently. Frankly, the view was not at all what I had anticipated. Granted I was alone so hotel-bound by night, but I was out and about each day for lunch, and the streets were barren of even possibly cute women. Completely underwhelming.
