Jakarta

[Member #4794]

I got caught up in the philippines airport bullshit but after 5 days of bullshit I arrive in "wonderful" Jakarta. So I get in line for a bluebird and they have this ticket system that is 100% broken theres this guy in control of the taxis. And he is calling numbers in the range of 35-55 the ticket that I just got printed was ninety fucking three so an hour later I kind of pleaded with this guy to let me get in a taxi. So we get near the Mangga Dua mall and it is about 2 am at night and we get pulled over by indonesian police at a check point they set up. They asked for identification I had my taxi money out the first thing he asked was "Is that for me? I of course didn't reply and put it away I don't know about your guys's countries but bribing an officer in it self is a crime. So he says "are you in a hurry?" I say no you can check the bags and I have USB charging cables and he seems to be enamored with the cables. So he looks in my carry on finds nothing and now he want to inspect my main bag. So he checks my pockets and I'm on my way to the hotel so I had changed some money. He found the stack of cash and said "for me?" again. I then brought out 200,000 and held it up. To which is he said "500,000 for me and my friend introduction money. " after which he repeated "introduction money" I didn't reply with any objections, I fail to see how I could have been set up by the taxi driver because it was literally the best route to get to the hotel via google maps. The "officer" has a few words with the taxi driver and we were off. But how common is this bullshit my other 2 trips were incident free. I want to preface this with I assume this officer had a very deep drug problem as his eyes were bloodshot and he was extremely jittery, which also put me off in terms of reasoning with him. The police officer also said that they are out there because of the asia games.

I get to the hotel and it seems like delivery girls are always the ugliest of the bunch. You have to goto these shit holes and pick them yourself if you want to find a good looking girl. The ones that usually show up when they call it "delivery" if you have ever seen the movie spaceballs. The girls that show up are the spaceball stunt doubles of actual girls. Noses and faces all fucked up so of course it being 3 am I pick the less ugly one and get it done. 500,000 dmg for the delivery. Not the best start but only thing good about today is it only gets better from here.

Girls don't suddenly disappear when a complex shuts down. Where are most of the Alexis girls now?

We shall see indeed. But it was the current Jakarta governor, Anies Baswedan, that shut down Alexis. He campaigned on it. He also shut down Sense Karaoke at Mangga Dua Square and Exotic Disco on Mangga Besar.

The former governor, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama or Ahok, shut down Stadium and Millies.

I heard the rumors that Alexis is going to be open again with different name under this new Jakarta governor after previous governor shut it down. We shall see!

Probably be a waste of time telling you as you would have to google search for their location and searching for information seems to be a problem for you. Why don't you just read the first five to 10 pages of this forum, all the information is there. Why should I or any other board member continually answer questions if you can't be bothered spending time to read back a few pages. The guys who can best help you on here will only help if you've tried to help yourself first off all. RTFF.

Actually I don't know why most of people are very aggressive here. If you don't have time to answer my questions even if It is stupid. Don't bother yourself. And don't reply. What did you gain from this is long story you told us.

Evey page here have different words. So I can't remember all abbreviations. That I am traveling frequently from country to another.

Anyway. I was wrong that I didn't read FAQ before participating here. And didn't read old pages. So sorry for respcted people that I bother them by my questions.

Pain and suffering.

I guess some guys are into that. Not my cup of tea.

Take a trip to Saudi Arabia and see how often you get laid.

Funnily enough never wrote the word 'girl' in my original comment. I wrote the female form of dog, metaphorically referring it to the pain and suffering all around us ha ha ha!

[Smoothy]

And for sure the girl is going to last forever.

[BabaLoda]

Is there anywhere in the entire world that has something that will last forever?

Pain and suffering.

Whichever part of the world you go to, you will find it. And for sure the girl is going to last forever.

[Smoothy]

nothing lasts forever here.

That has always been the narrative for years, Westerners ruining the local culture and all that. However, that simply cannot be the reason to shut down a place. If your point was right, the authorities should have shut down Malio as well. Or CJ's, BATS, etc. Or cleaned them up, put stringent restrictions on freelancers entering the place.

In my view the reasons why places of our mutual interest get shut down are always the holy trinity. Religion, politics and money.

I think you you misunderstood my point, but you are preaching to the choir.

I never said it was the 'Sole' reason these places closed down, but one of 'several' contributing factors. Amongst which, how 'connected' the boss is, as well as how much grease they can lube the squeaky wheel with, are important. Public Over-exposure makes the wheel squeak louder, which the bosses then may have to address, and certainly does not help. I don't think anyone could reasonably argue otherwise. As for Malio. While it has gone under further scrutiny as of late. It is the most 'connected' establishment of the bunch.

As for CJs and Bats, these are a totally different category like comparing apples and oranges. I don't think they are concerned with these places (or they just tolerate them) as they are meant for expats and foreign businessmen to have fun on work trips. They are fairly discrete compare to the brothels and the locals never really complain of these places anyways. It would also be difficult for Authorities to act on them because they are just bars where technically nothing illegal happens inside. It just so happens that lots of 'available' women like to congregate here. Even the police have to work within a Legal framework (Yes. There are Laws in Indonesia contrary to popular to belief) and can't simply muscle their way in without some sort of reason or cause. I'm not sure they could even put restrictions on freelancers going in without discriminating normal customers? Would they station an officer at the door and ask every girl walking in if she's an Ayam or not? In any case, my point remains that its prudent not to over-expose interesting places out of abundance of caution, as their is a clear trend of some popular places closing down, and a lack of new places that open up to replace them. Nothing is truly invincible, and nothing lasts forever here.

So its not a bad idea to exercise some caution when discussing things here, because discretion will certainly never be a reason a place is forced to shut down.

People not discussing things on this forum, or sharing information about places they visit and the experiences they have would work nicely for you now, wouldn't it?
