Jakarta

[Smoothy]

More I read about the fatalities, mostly elderly persons (50 +)

50 is "elderly"? I like to refer to myself as Brondong Tua, not elderly.

I also heard about '0' cases against Indonesia, which developed countries have little doubts about unreported cases.

Back when the bird flu hit Asia in the mid 2000's, I read some articles stating that Indonesia refused to report anything about that sickness to the world health organization (WHO). Their rationale for not reporting their cases and sharing samples seemingly was that the WHO (mainly the USA) was just scamming poorer countries like Indonesia so that they could provide high priced medications that Indonesians wouldn't be able to afford. I wasn't quite sure of the logic.

At the end of the day, it really is up to each person's risk tolerance. I really want to head back to Jakarta and spend a week visiting Hotel 1001 every day (those girls are seriously hot), but decided to avoid Asia for now as well.

For me, another concerning point is China's reaction to the virus. 99% they're just worried about the 3% mortality rate affecting the huge population, but there's 1% of my brain that's paranoid and thinks the CCP is actively hiding something.

Me too. Few contacts are very much interested to meet. One potential contact is moving overseas by may. We both are eager to meet before she leaves.

It is very tempting indeed. That's why I was finding reasons to plan.

But somehow made my mind to postpone the trip.

Thank you.

After browsing a lot online, it is going to be joining the queue as the previous flu such as swine.

More I read about the fatalities, mostly elderly persons (50 +) with poor immune are getting affected.

I also heard about '0' cases against Indonesia, which developed countries have little doubts about unreported cases. In either way that was not bothering. Which is exactly why I was asking about the opinions. I also share the same views.

I was worrying about the process I need to go through when returning back to Melbourne. After a lot of reading and discussing with girls I have visited during my past trips, I have decided to postpone the trip to June.

While I think this is likely just a strain of the common flu, and does not seem deadly unless you have a weakened immune system, I would still rather not risking flying to Asia at this stage.

I'm also concerned that Indonesia has zero reported cases. This seems to be a case of the Indonesian government not testing / reporting cases rather than there being no confirmed patients in the entire country. If northern europe has confirmed cases, a place like Bali has 100% been infected already.

Thank you.

In the event you go, make sure your will allows cremation.

Please wear a condom when in Indonesia to avoid multiplying.

OS.

There are few kinds of trolls in forums in general. But particularly these responses are amazing and entertaining.

Either one should help to answer or if it feels like not making 'Sense' one could ignore and keep moving. There is no reason to respond with gibberish text about politics and rude responses which is not going to assist anyone.

There are plenty of reasons why people seeking others opinions. If one do not want to respond, no one forces to post rude responses.

[Skepti10]

I was interested in knowing more about how others plan during this period.

There are few reasonable responses other than quoting the obvious.

I am not interested in politics or bareback either. .

In defence of Mr Engine Driver, this question strikes me as particularly dumb. When you lead with your chin you can't be offended when somebody jabs it. Please wear a condom when in Indonesia to avoid multiplying.

Should you be concerned about the coronavirus?


In the yes camp you should be concerned about the coronovirus if:

You live in Wuhan, China.

It spreads to Indonesia.

You can get it from your handphone.

You can get it from toilet seats.

It turns out that the coronavirus was introduced by Trump and the CIA and China responds with the Tsingtao virus.


On the other hand you should not be concerned if:

You recently recovered from the coronavirus and are now immune.

You only use squat toilets.

They discover a cure.

You don't care.

Trump releases the antidote.


Hope that helps.

I am planning for my next trip. I am thinking about March. Should I worry about Coronovirus?

Isn't that area very close to the infamous taman lawang IE your ladies may be packing something extra.

Haha, I was in Bali and walked down this one street where the Marriott Courtyard is located. A bunch of sexy gals wearing the most incredibly sexy outfits. All looked like hookers of course. I spoke to one and immediately got the heebee jeebees. I mean RED ALERT on the gaydar. Went to the other, and same thing! By the third one, I was looking around for a hidden camera or some indonesian idiot jumping out of the bushes laughing and yelling suprise! Nope. Instead, I found a few gaybars back to back. Ok. Keep walking. Nothing to see here folks. Damn those dudes are put together well. Ha-ha-ha!

How exactly would the mongers on this board know? It's something you will need to decide for yourself.

Thank you for the informative response as usual Engine.

Will allows? I am not quite there yet.

WHERE ARE THE TRIP REPORTS?
Has everyone left Jakarta?

Hi friends, I am back today morning after my first 5 days visit to Jakarta. I met with one working lady and one girl who is about to start her job in Jakarta. VIsited all floors in classic, went to the'Heaven in Kelap Gading. Visited Travel, Colosseum club. Went to Bandung for one night. Last two nights stayed in BFashion hotel west Jakarta. As seniors said everything is spread out in Jakarta. Need five or six visits for me to explore places as I won't be able to stay more than 4 days. Missed Blok M,Kotah Indah etcetc. Will again come on March end and the place belongs to my kind of action. Excellent experience except one incident. When I am back from CJ bar with my working girfriend police stopped the car and asked to lower the glass. Said tourist inside. The lady with me told them we are coming after a conference. I showed the passport copy. They let us go. She was dressed in her office dress. I was thinking about giving 100 k to police as we discussed in the forum.

Detailed reports of each days will follows. Now I have to finish the work pooled in 5 days in my office.

Long live mongers.

Regards.

There are no trip reports as after the great informative report by thampi62 who told us not to underestimate him and other tourists mongers what else is there to write about to add to his comprehensive trip report.
