Jakarta

[Thampi62]

I have also been hearing from several taxi drivers and locals that it is not good to go to Kota Indah at the moment. Some of them even mentioned this on their own initiative, without me even mentioning Kota Indah in the first place. So it's not just hysteria among the expats on this forum. Personally, I wouldn't go.

So sad. Feel like all friends are are not in favour of KI. So better keep a distance. Now time to think about a substitute for KI where locals gather. I enjoy watching the way locals dealing things. Then things will be easier to handle.

Regards.

Thampi, you should listen to the others if you are paranoid to go.

Maybe MutantChicken can reveal these other places in Jakarta that are unreported on ISG to go to that are raid safe and comparable to Kota Indah.

My mind set is to give a helping hand to new bees who are genuine.

True. But exploring different places is exciting and one can observe different scenarios. But If the risk is high better be careful or avoid. Regards.

I agree with smoothy, with the large number (albeit unreported on ISG places) where you can get a FJ similar to kota indah ie 350-500 k, with a little bit of intelligent researching, why would you take the risk (small or large) of being caught up in a raid.

It sounds like you are looking forward to hearing a first hand report of what it's like to be caught in a police raid.

If some anonymous person posted not to go would that really stop you? Enjoy your trip. If you worry too much it will ruin the fun.

Thanks. Really encouraging for a first timer.

How is the situation of bars in Kotah Indah. Any information from Sariayu after the raid. Anybody visited that location recently.

Hi friends,

How is the situation of bars in Kotah Indah. Any information from Sariayu after the raid. Anybody visited that location recently. Other wise I will upload afield report in two weeks. LOL.

Regards.

I may go check it out in a few months. There's no need to go there at this time with so many other options.

Thank you very much. Now Opera gives me wonders.

I find the DotVPN extension works well, also the free version which I use (presumably the paid version is faster).

ME TOO from the USA. I used a VPN (set to Canada) and it came right up.

I don't use a VPN and not had access since last Thursday.

Probably the first one this has happened to but I lost my socks inside the room at Starmoon. Pretty funny. Maybe the girl I took has a sock fetish and kept them.

More likely the boys who maintain the rooms used them to clean the toilets.
