Jakarta

[Onojdi]

Thanks to all of you about the info and the advices, much appreciated. After reading the last 50 pages and paying special attention to your advices, I decide to expand the 3-day trip to 5 day and then to go to Bali. The idea was 2-3 days in Jakarta and 15 in Bali combining local girls, beautiful beaches and trip to all the interesting tourist places in Bali.

But I think 2-3 days in Jakarta will not be enough, so it will be 4 days mainly pussy party exploring most of the places that you told me about then more relaxed and diverse Bali trip. I just booked the tickets so now I know exact dates. It remains to book the hotel. I'm choosing between the Classic and Malio hotels. Strangely I can not find Malio hotel on booking / agoda / hotels, and at the maliohotel.com can not find a way to book a room, only brief room info and contact us section. Did I missed something or the only way to book a room is on site?

Try searching "TransJakarta" rather than MTR.http://transjakarta.co.id/peta-rute/

Good link, the legends on the side have English as well. The urban rail link is below.

Is it safe for a solo 51 yo white guy to bus it to Bali? Sure I could fly, but I can't see much from 40000 feet.

It's close to 1,200 km and would be a pretty long, painful trip. You could easily spend a couple of hours just getting out of Jakarta if your timing is wrong. If you don't want to fly you could try the train to Surabaya and bus from there.

Forgive me if this info is somewhere in here. I started reading this thread from December 28,2018 (which is now Pg 54). I am presently only on January 21,2019 at Pg 43. I have a long way to go. It's hard to find the time when I have a lot of work to accomplish. Anyway, I will be in Jakarta on September 4, so I don't have much time.

I used Google, saw a lot of maps. But they are not meant for downloading. The megapixels were very low and blur when increased in size. Thanks in advance.

P.S. : I have been to Jakarta several times.

This is a composite map. I'm not too sure how good your Bahasa is but rute=route and peta=map.

Download an called Ulmon City Map Andy it's free version lets you store / download up to 5/6 city maps. It uses phone GPS to do real-time offline tracking. Telkomsel Internet is relatively cheap and you may want to just use google maps. Nothing beats that.

If your heart is set on Paper Maps, try any of those tourism centers plus hotels lobby should have a tourist map. Hope that helps.

The chances of being assaulted or mugged are very low. Pickpockets do occur on the low end busses though so keep an eye on your belongings.

I'd be far more concerned about a traffic accident than safety. Especially with the Express night busses. They drive at insane speeds even by Indonesian standards, on any side of the road and collisions or rollovers resulting in multiple fatalities are common. I took one once. Never again.

Have you considered the train to Bunyuwangi?

A very pleasant trip.

Enjoy. G.

What about train if you are really looking towards no time issues journey and wanted to see the country. Also, would give you the options of stretching your legs while on the go. I would definitely take a train over bus for sure.

There are plenty of locals in those areas too but Zip will need an entre into the HiSo clubbber set.

A drunken 50 yo white guy asking one of their girlfriends if 1 jt is enough for a BJ would NOT be a good idea.

Yes, there are plenty of locals in Kemang as well, but you will actually find a decent number of non locals in places like Eastern Promise and other clubs in that area. As far as the HiSo clubber set, that's not really my preference, but lately I've been shagging a female DJ I met in the Fable nightclub. Nice girl. I used to shag one of the Public Relations girls from 999 in Kemang. She was a great shag. I have to admit that I did give both of them 1 jt, but that was for a lot more than just a BJ. Those type of girls are so much better in bed than the girls in the brothels.

[Zippos]

Agreed with locals scene however I was referring to KI. I think locals in classic, travel is much more on the decent local crowd side compared to KI's dodgy looking ones.

Kemang is next on my bucket list.

Hotel Classic, Hotel Travel, and ALL of those cheap brothels in that area of town have over 95% local guys as customers. So if you are going to any brothel in Jakarta, you are "partying" with the locals. In reality, I almost never even talk to any of the local guys wherever I am though, so I am not really partying with them. I am having sex with the local girls in those establishments, and they are always locals. To have sex with a non-local girl, you will need to go up market to a place like Malioboro.

If you want to "party" with non-local guys, you will need to leave that area of town completely and go to an area like Kemang.

Next time in classic, talk to Mamasan / Mami if you fancy any girl. She will make arrangements to send the girl to your room. I have done that. It's not something that's highly promoted but available on the menu for regulars. My tip for you, try taking Girl from same Mami couple times and offer her. There is a big tall Mami (don't remember her name) who manages girls on the right as you walk in to terminal 2, try her. She is one of the oldest Mami out there.

I have read travel hotel let's you take freelancers to the room. Haven't tried yet!

Good info below but I understand from my last visit to Jakarta that staying st Classic hotel is not part of the brothel, IE; you can't go book a classic girl and take her to your room, you must only use the Terminal 2 and 5 rooms.

However I did find two places that let you stay in hotel and take girls from the brothel floor to your room as part of booking.

Club 108 (ex illegals club), you can stay in hotel and take any girl to your room for (I think) 1 m but brothel floor closes at midnight and if you want a girl after that for overnight you have to pay for 5 hour price. Its just too pricey oh yeah plus room rate is 600 k.

Better is Malio hotel.

Better is Malio hotel.

Malio hotel at front on street is 900 k for room plus free entry to all clubs and spa. You get a special in house card that lets you come and go from malio and malio clubs as you like. You can also have all your bookings get sent to your room till early morning.

However couple issues, first you must deposit 2 m in cash which can be used to buy food and drink but can't be used for bookings so at end of stay you going to have 2 m in cash to take home or just exchange at airport when leave.

Other issue with malio, don't expect a quiet peaceful night, you will hear the music and feel the bass from club and if you near the karaoke rooms you will be serenaded to sleep by the soothing sounds of cats being strangled as the locals attempt to belt out Whitney Houston.

Not huge issue for me as I be fucking lady till 4 am as I book malio before my early morning flight out at 7 am, I don't go to malio with intention to sleep.

Any one else know of any other brothel hotels you can stay and take your booking to own room?

Alright Mr. Onojdi, I will plan a 3 days trip for you in Jakarta free of charge so that you can enjoy your trip peacefully.

Hotel:

Classic is Decent and I prefer over Travel simply based on the fact that I'm friends with most of the staff and I get VIP service. Terminal 2 & 5 is away from few flights of stairs and please don't try to google that as it won't take you anywhere! Other option is Redrop hotel which is within the vicinity but reading your request, I would suggest you to stay in classic. Agoda only shows regular room because Classic reserves the right to cell them for a ridiculous price to walking guest! So book regular room unless you fancy few square feet of extra space with a couch for almost 2 x the price.
