Bahasa can be very easy to learn, especially in the early stages. But introduce the slang, local dialects etc that is spoken informally everyday and it can be a minefield:
Indonesians love to shorten words especially dropping "s"es. Sudah to udah (already), saja to aja (only) etc. This can get really bad in texts with letters disappearing from the middle of words: Dmana kau? For dimana kamu? Where are you?
You then have the 00's of dialects and informal slang included. Bahasa Gaul is really popular around Jakarta and on TV Sopie's. There is even a Bahasa Banci. The "gak" that you discovered is actually nggak shortened which is Gaul not true Bahasa Indonesia. It's not uncommon for several languages and dialects to be included in the same sentence or conversation: AmongGayPay? (spelt phonetically) is Memang (in BI) Gue (in Gaul) Pikirim (in BI) or Would I think about it? (Literally) or I don't give a shitt (intended meaning).
"Aku di sini hnya fwb aja ya" is "I'm only doing friends with benefits".
Be careful as some words can change meaning drastically depending on context. Nikah and Kawin can both mean married or fucking around depending on how they are used. After embarrassing myself several times I just use "married" now. 😁.
Have fun. G.

I got one for you. How about "the nod"? Is that still an occurrence these days? Old hands will recognize this. I didn't see much of it over the last few years. For those that don't understand what it means. It's better than being swiped right on Tinder.

Thanks 3088, I found a good source. Just remembered to use search engine.
One of the most popular abbreviations in Indonesia is Gpp, which stands for Gak Apa- Apa. Gak means no, and apa-apa is another abbreviation of kenapa-kenapa means something happened, so gpp means it's nothing.
Example:
A: I am so sorry I forgot your birthday.
Be: Gpp, don't mind!

However, a smile and small talk can still easily lead to a phone number, coffee and potentially more. Guys just need to put more thought and effort into the conversation than "BJ for $50?
Yes, language skills help but many girls also enjoy "practicing their English".
Enjoy. G.

Posts: 99Thanks, yes I tried be'Fashion and they told me the spa was closed.
I have found that it is still possible to order massage girls to your hotel. I am staying 2 weeks in the hotel alone now, so this has worked a couple of times. But it must be an outcall massage girl who comes to your room, as this hotel is no longer offering in-room massages (they previously advertised in-room massages from their own spa).
I also found that some of the massage places have changed their names from " massage / spa" to " cafe and resto", even though they still offer massages! .

Be-Fashion's massage spa is specifically operated to do a combo massage and FS. But I don't know if it's open during covid.

Besides, most of the nice and not nice places are around the Lokasari anyways. And there's an outdoor mall / parking lot, the one with the KFC, that always has a bunch of mms hanging out there. But the working girls are really bottom of the barrel at that place. Just stick to the Classics, Travel, KI, etc.
These opinions and comments are completely based on pre-covid travel. No idea what it looks like in Jakarta now.
