Jakarta

[Onojdi]

The information you request is available with a simple Google search with the operator + Jakarta added at the end. Stop being lazy and asking others to do your work for you.

I did that and no, it is confusing. That is why I am asking. And I'm thinking that the idea of the ISG is to exchange info and help, not being a smartass. Just to avoid misunderstanding and booking a hotel to the other end of Jakarta I asked for more directions. And it is not only me, it is question that every Jakarta newcomer is asking and wondering. Almost every member of the forum had been in a new place and knows what is the felling when planning the trip. You search for info, then you are trying to locate the places and areas but you are not sure is this or that. You are confused and then you ask for help.

So please can someone actual help to all the first-timers in Jakarta that will read this post and confirm is this correct:

Classic and Travel are these places:

King Cross, is that the place? https://www.facebook.com/DewKingCrossJakarta/

Medika (New Medika)? Jl. Daan Mogot I 27-33, Jakarta 11470 . The info is 5 years old, you can understand why i am asking for confirmation http://www.jakarta100bars.com/2014/04/new-medika-bar-massage-daan-mogot.html

Sumo https://www.theflyingdandy.com/listings/sumo-spa-jakarta/ @ Jl. Boulevard Bukit Gading Raya Blok A No.6, RT.15/RW.3, Klp. Gading Bar., Kec. Klp. Gading, Kota Jkt Utara,

Be Fashion. I found a hotel with the same name? https://www.booking.com/hotel/id/b-fashion.en.html.

LA Grand. I found a bar with the same name but no idea is that the place: Ruko Kota Indah, Jl. Pangeran Jayakarta No. 22-23, RT. 1/ RW. 2, Pinangsia.

CJ. This bar maybe? https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaura...arta_Java.html.

For BATS I found only a place that they sell food: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaura...arta_Java.html.

Again, a simple yes or no with a link will help me and other people not to travel around Jakarta like mad just because the lack of information.

Thank you.

Yes, I was remiss and forgot to ask about the menu, so I had to go hungry that night. Although I was already inside the place, I just couldn't figure it out without forum assistance.

I have to say that was a first on this forum. The guy is already inside Malioboro and is asking questions about which bars are inside Malioboro. I can understand perhaps not knowing where the place is located in the first place. If you are already inside the place and can't figure it out, that's damn sad.

On a side note, us Yankees call them burgers. I've never said I'm going to McD to get a "sandwich". A sandwich is something you get from a restaurant like Subway.

Apologies regarding the burger LOL. When I first found this forum I read back 100's of pages concerning the areas I was thinking of visiting and with Google earth, Hotels.com and Skyscanner I have had satisfying visits. In my work I do have a lot of down time in the office to research but it is not that hard. As you know in the Thailand section I think some of the posters require someone to help them find their ass so God help them finding a fuck in Thailand.

I would also ask the forum what is on the menu, the prices of the burgers (sandwiches for our Yankee friends) and the quality of burgers. What taxi did you use to get to restaurant and cheaper forms of transport to get there.

So went to McDonalds at Sarinah for the first time. Got out of the taxi went inside the McDonalds and straight to the counter. There is a McDonald's employee there at the cash register to take my order. I am wondering that is there any other seating inside this McDonalds apart from the seating on 1st floor. Inputs appreciated. I realize that I am already inside the McDonalds and could look around myself or possibly ask one of the employees, but I thought it better to ask on this forum.

Thanks in Advance.

Bali trip is coming and I'm thinking to visit Jakarta for 3 days just to sea the scene there. As usual I do my homework reading the forum and thanks for all the great reviews and inside info. But please can you give addresses or direction how to reach these places:

Hotel Travel.

Classic (is it a hotel or just a bar / brothel?

King Cross.

Sumo.

Medika.

*please give a recommendation to any other place that I missed and you think is worth visiting.

As far as I understand Travel, Classic and King Cross are kind of bar places full of working girls. You drink if you want, pick your girl, go to the room, party time, game over. Correct me if I'm wrong. One more thing. Can you also point which places offer some spa / jacuzzi extras.

.......... Or would you seek help of others to find that out.

I'd go back find that out and report to help others. I'm not a parasite.

So if you decide to visit that specific McD for the second time and you know that you won't get any other seating inside you won't go right? Or you will still go and end up in disappointment? Or would you seek help of others to find that out.

[Pedros Needs]

Haha yes I service there is a bit different.

I usually visit that shopping centre as I stay at the Akmani, met a few ladies there, sometimes a couple offering their services out the front, all be it looking pretty ordinary.

Across the road is Enzo Spa. I have visited a few times, had FS there my last visit ended up costing me 800 but really good service.

Hi.

Visiting Jakarta in a few days. The bars and clubs are plenty for the evening and nights. Looking for recommendation for day time freelancers. I find Cupid and Locanto difficult to use and time consuming. If any kind soul has tried and tested freelancer, please drop in a line.

Tinder and WeChat are a good option.

[Manfield04]

You may try WeChat also.
