Jakarta

I know. I only planned my trip for 3 weeks and 1 week is going to be wasted! I'm wondering if I can sneak out at night time to find some cewe or get delivery.

Sure you can! Just dress up like an ATM and catch the guards eye. Make sure you're well stocked up with large denomination bills as there will be lots of people in authority just dying to host you in their office for a bottle of water once the word gets out.

By all reports Wisma Atlet, the place they send the Indonesian arrivals with no money for quarantine is super social. OS had video call with one of his friends who deliberately chose there and they were all sitting around socialising having a fat old time.

You can sneak out of quarantine, OS has done it but you need good contacts and the guard on your floor is not that person. Trust me. And it’s expensive.

Yes you pay before going to the room.

Been so long since I was in terminal I don't remember. Usually in Jakarta you get a wrist band or card with a number and pay the grand total on your way out.

There are usually ways around paying up front even if they claim that's how it is.

This isn't Qantas Air; you're dealing with pimps and mamasans.

It is also possible to turn back before anyone does anything and get money back.

For example if a woman promises a BJ but won't do it, it's quite possible to stop things there and go back.

But better just to learn to question up front and avoid any dramas.

It's my understanding that you MUST have a visa to enter Indonesia right now. Either tourist or work. No VOA.

And proof of medical insurance (US $100,000), I am looking for that right now.

Yes, sitting in a damn hotel for 7 days will suck. Even more so, to pay for overpriced, crappy hotel food..

I got quoted for a visa 5.5 m IDR which I think is just ridiculous. You can get 7 days quarantine hotel airport transfer all tests and have change left for that. Does any one know a cheap place or is it only possible to get ripped off real bad.

I think that's the average price to get the "business" visaright now. One of my relative pay 5 mil for the same visa on last Nov. I heard there are some place that offered like 4 mil but you need to do your homework though. Remember, it still Indo when scam and fraud are everywhere.

Hi,

Wondering if anyone has had any experience of this one?

I passed the Classic Hotel the other day and asked the...

Nice writeup!

Isn't it pay first before going to room?

Then say if you had a baby I am going to leave the room without paying. That always works!

Endgame everywhere.

Truer words have never been spoken.

Sad, but true.

I passed the Classic Hotel the other day and asked the satpam if the motel rooms were open, not only were the rooms open but Lantai Dua was also open, music, sexy dancers and all the girls you could shake a stick at, he delightedly told me.

Intrigued I went up and sure enough it was open, full on, bizarrely the sexy dancers were wearing perspex face masks (and even more bizarrely didn't take their clothes off, which rather defeats the purpose) but other than that no sign of health protocols. It gave me a nice buzz taking a seat once again after 18 months, telling the mamsan not to bother me until I got a beer down my neck, and just like the old days, her ignoring my very clear instructions and grabbing the first girl passing to introduce to me. There were plenty of girls, dressed in halter tops and tight trousers rather than the dresses of before but looking no worse for that.

I got a fine-looking seemingly busty young lady (claimed to be 19, almost certainly older) and she persuaded me to call an equally attractive friend, two-for-one package for 500 k. Normally I would never fall for that (two girls usually means more is less as they chat, check their phones and happily ignore the client) but I was feeling in ebullient form just to find myself back in the game again.

As it turned out it was just like the old days, two 20-something Sundanese single moms, who in the harsh light of the bedroom out of their push-up bras and high-heeled stilettoes lacked the glamour they presented in the noise and darkness upstairs. Added to that, the perfunctory covered BJ reminded me why I rarely had a great time in Classic.

But you know what? I didn't care. It was just nice to know that the green shoots of spring are here, winter's over. My life didn't come to a shuddering end in March 2020 after all, there's fun to be had again.

Just not in Classic, not this time.

Yea that's always an issue here but easy enough to ask if they had a baby. Then ask again to be sure. Then say if you had a baby I am going to leave the room without paying. That always works!

Read the link I posted. It clearly says Bali.

"All international tourists may only enter Indonesia via Bali (Ngurah Rai International Airport) and or Riau Islands (Raja Haji Fisabilillah International Airport). ".

You are correct in theory. However, in practice no international flights are arriving into DPS airport.

You can't fly into Bali. You have to fly into Jakarta and quarantine there.
