Don't know the spa, but have been to the hotel for business meeting. Not much around that area, but like any hotel spa, a HJ is usually on the menu, FS if you get the right girl.

Best bet, grab a taxi and goto some of the places mentioned on this forum.

Hello all,

I hope all of you are safe from the deluge in Jakarta.

Any reviews for Gran Melia (Rasuna Said) hotel spa? Would appreciate any inputs please.

Thanks.

Whats your demographic?

And how fussy are you about the live musac?

All of the above +
Camden bar if your under 30, EP of course, all the beer gardens, Paulaner if that's your scene (don't take a girl who can sing, she will be up on the stage in a heartbeat and you will be called out as her 'lucky guy' whilst your slinking in the corner hoping not to be seen.
Don't forget the old hard rock cafe, molly malones, murphys and star deli for expats way down south, pisa cafe has had live bands for almost as long as jaya pub.

NB. Best Radiohead cover band I ever heard was in Camden bar Cikini, whilst I was well above the demographic, was still a great night.

Or you could try Jaya Pub or Cazbar. But those places are busy only on specific days of the week.

As Seatraveller mentioned, setup a VPN.

You would be surprised to find how many Indos have VPNs on their phone and laptops.

I have met many girls who love to look at porn on their phones (sometimes send me vids / link) , they do it through a cheap VPN like Opera.

I would be curious to know the VPN usage in Indo v rest of the world. Outside of China I suggest its very high, due to govt restrictions on porn, cheap data packages and high mobile usage. Oh yeh and a horny population

Hi friends.

I have difficulty in accessing ISG forum from yesterday onwards. Tried different internet providers. Only very few are letting me in. Any police raid in ISG forum? LOL.

Hi friends.

Bitcoin subscription is little bit complicated for me for the renewal of my ISG subscription. Any other payment option which will be easy as credit card.

Use the Opera browser with the VPN option set to On. Speeds will be slower, but at least you will have some access to ISG.

Thanks friend. Will shift to Opera.

Unfortunately, there are no good bands at BATS currently. Just because that indo band is better than the other one doesn't mean it's a good band.

There's a good band at Bluegrass on Saturday nights and Holy Wings has some good bands.

I guess since I'm staying at the hotel, I can always pop in downstairs and see what's going on. I'm guessing I was just fine with the band you dislike, but hopefully I'll see the better one one of these nights. I'm happy to go have a drink downstairs at night.

I had a 2 day trip, Train tracks were the highlight.
Visited train tracks around 11 in the morning, had threesome with 2 beauties, it was a great session. Damage was 500 K. One advantage in train tracks is you are not rushed by mamasan like in Classic. Next day, had foursome for 500 K in the same location. Train tracks are much better than massage places IMHO if you can tolerate those conditions. Visited Classic, Travel and New Sari Ayu in the evenings but all are crapshoots. Classic had a special 250 K, took 2 girls for 500 K for a not so great session. Checked out at Griya Sehat (Ruko Robinson) but skipped it as girl selection is thru pictures and sessions cost 600 K. I had plans to visit other locations like train tracks such as jatinegera, cawang, etc but skipped due to zero Indonesian skills and traffic / time constraints.
Overall Jakarta is underwhelming destination, train tracks saved my trip.

Hi Jicks / Smoothy,

Mind posting or messaging me the directions to "train Track" . I will be in Jakarta for a week, mostly I hang out at Classic / travel or use social media (good luck with WeChat and Badoo) around Plaza Indonesia area. Intrigued with your adventures in train tracks. Will share my 'findings' here. Thanks in advance.

You arrived and left at the perfect times. The problem was the night you chose to go. You are talking about a Monday night. Every free lance place in Jakarta is dead on Monday night. The only one that might possible have something going on Monday night would be CJs at the Hotel Mulia. That's a better night to hit the brothels. Every night of the week other than Sunday and Monday nights will be ok.

If the band was decent enough, I am guessing it was the one night of the week they have an Indonesian band there rather than the one that is there every other night of the week. I know it's either Sunday or Monday night the normal band is off, but I am not sure which. Regardless, the normal band at BATS right now is terrible. BATS is off my list of places to go at the moment simply due to that crap band. The band at CJs is also pretty lame, but it's far better than the one at BATS currently.

4:30 pm at Classic is a good time to go. You can spend the entire day there and get in many shots by going so early.

The spa places open around 11 am depending on which one you choose.

In case you weren't aware, Jakarta is the fastest sinking city in the world and expected to be underwater by 2050............

Means that by 2050 Jakarta will be a tourist hub like Venice.

I visit BATS tonight. What a disappointment.

I figured more FLs would arrive but none did. I went after 11:30 and stuck around till 2 am wondering if I came in far too early.

I thought the band was decent enough.

Don't think I'm going to head anywhere at 3 am, but will hit up other things tomorrow. Not sure if there are daytime options, but I read that one can hit Classic around 4:30 pm. I wonder if any of the "spa" places might be open earlier, or a soapy or something.
