Jakarta

[QUOTE=HappyFarang;3021671]

In a couple of weeks I am flying to Jakarta. I am reading the forum and taking notes religiously, but in the meanwhile, could someone give me a heads-up.

- How much should I negotiate for a Tinder / Badoo / Bumble girl?

- What are some budget hotels that are girl friendly?

- Are there hotels that I can book for 1-2 hours?

- What am I expected to pay in the usual SPAs and massage places?

- Any other things I should know?

I plan on staying in Indonesia for months, so I am interested in having a couple of meets per week for reasonable prices. Maybe find a few regulars. Not interested in crazy expensive stuff. I am looking forward to contribute in here, so help me out as I start. =).[/QUOTE]If you're in town for months and on a budget, I would be focussing on organic meets rather than online or bordello hook ups. Indo girls are extremely approachable, easy to talk to and convince to meet privately. There is a language barrier but once past the initial shyness they will work to overcome this. Try the mid level malls and be prepared to act on simple opportunities like lining up at McDonalds.

To answer your questions:

1/. Jakarta has an extremely wide span in pricing. There is no one set price. A good looking professional could easily be asking 2 or 3 jt* while a girl trying to make end meet will be fine with 3 to 500 k depending on the usual looks / age / service / time provided.

2/. You will struggle to find a non Sharia hotel that isn't girl friendly. You can safely assume that any one you do get will have guys meeting girls many times every day.

3/. Yes, Jakarta has short time hotels. You will often see 3 hour rates posted on digital signs out the front. There are many in Kota. Otherwise google is your friend.

4/. Again, prices vary wildly. Classic or Travel could see you pay 500 k all in while Malioboro can easily swallow several juta.

As I said, with months available, you are better off being flexible and acting spontaneously as opportunities present themselves. You will save money and meet more genuine girls who are very happy to please.

5/. Other things?? Just go an have some fun. Have a broad plan but don't over think things. Jakarta is not a place to expect military precision or minute by minute scheduled meet ups.

Enjoy. G.

*jt = juta = a million rupiah.

[QUOTE=Safado70;3021484]Are you sure about HIV prep? I asked for it in Roxy the other day, but they said they didn't have it. They told me I would have to go to a special clinic to get it.[/QUOTE]Well the trick is speak to the on-site doc (office hours only). They'll sort the prescription and then dispense or order for delivery to you (anything over 1 mil is free delivery and you can also order from whatsapp). I managed to get a cheeky Ceftriaxone jab at Mangga Besar Roxy earlier this year and claps cleared in a flash.

If that's a faff then Angsamerah in Menteng is another option. Its a clinic tho and quite competitively priced.

Bloodwork. The Mangga Besar Bio Medika's cheaper than Prodia.

Although for PrEP I am not 100% certain. I'll ask them later tonight when I'm there.

BTW, the pharmacists at Roxy aren't exactly Eton material so I'd skip brand names give them the salt name or you'll get the classic "Tidak Bisa" stare.

Ask for Truvada (TDF / FTC) or go generic:

Tenvir-them, Ricovir-them, Tenof-them, Tavin-them. All do the job.

[QUOTE=HappyFarang;3021671]I have been enjoying the simplicity of life in Ubud (Bali), but there seems to be very little happening in this island. I read the forum extensively and with the exception of some low quality action in Sanur, everything else seems to be too expensive. In terms of punting I have done literally nothing since I arrived.

Report back!

I'm thinking about renting a car and drive to Bali from Jakarta or via versa. Did anyone in here rent a car? I drove in Laos, Vietnam, Thailand so I know about the craziness of traffic.

A legitimate national / global rental company will charge you more than a car and driver day hire. Either way expect major push back for a one way hire across multiple provinces.

If you still have your own reasons, Jakarta has all the normal brands: Hertz, Avis etc.

Price and quality wise Trac Astra does the best deals and if I am not wrong some of the large international rental co's use them too. I'd got monthly deal on Toyota Rush (under 2 year old car) for just under 9 juta. Monthly works out cheaper just not sure if they'd do pickup at Bali and dropoff in Jakarta or vice versa. The only one to offer a no questions fully comprehensive insurance and has support branches all around Java. They offer drivers but that's no fun plus the added cost. Drivers are expected to sleep in cars and you only pay meals and overtime apart from the daily rate. For local in and around Jakarta works out cheaper with driver vs Grab / Gojek / SilverBird.

Totally recommend it's quite an experience thb. Try and do Surabaya - Semarang - Cirebon - Bandung its really beautiful. Avoid driving at nights.

Avoid Madura. Toll Roads are the safest and even otherwise most of Java is safe except Madura which everyone warned about so we skipped. Try and get off Toll Roads if you want the best views.

Get a sugar baby to join if you have time to hunt it would be more fun!

Have fun and be safe!

[QUOTE=JuneFly;3021485]I was in Jakarta once during the middle of Ramadan and it was fine, just a bit quieter with later start times. Some places may close during the first and last three days, as many girls travel to their hometowns. If you have the flexibility to extend your stay, it could be worthwhile, but otherwise I wouldn't worry too much. In fact, it might work in your favor since there will be less competition from locals and visitors during Ramadan.[/QUOTE]Thanks to everyone who replied to my query. After reading the responses here on the ISG, plus the responses on other web sites, I've decided to add four nights to my itinerary. Lodging and food won't cost very much, and if I get lucky once or twice I'll declare victory and move on.

Bunky

And while I try that, I wouldn't mind spending 500 k in Classic if that's really what it costs. It's very reasonable. Just for comparison, the closest thing in Bali would cost North of 1.5 juta if the forums are not lying.

I am also utterly relieved to learn that I don't have to stress about hotels.

Thanks man!

Organic meeting Jakarta.

At Goferring.

Could you share what malls worked best for you.

Some malls mix age of crowd vs some higher age like north Jakarta.

[QUOTE=Chilli1;3021851]I was there KFC quick walking on side to avoid get my face if someone recording video like those on YouTube.
[/QUOTE]Maybe use one of those face masks covid made fashionable, if you worry about that? Doesn't look so strange anymore thanks to covid, and will perhaps let you have a more relaxed and slow paced walk.

I suspect soon, and probably already since several years for the right organizations, one will be able to enter Werqweq in the appropriate paid for service and get a link to all videos / photos ever made public where I appear, including any random youtube / instagram / tik-tok / whatever video.

Decades ago, Malawi Plaza in Blok M was infamous for finding girls in KFC / McDo or having their hair done in the salon in the bottom, on shift change from working next door at the 6th floor / Maribaya.

You can do the same and google malls near where you are staying. If they have Prada and Fendi stores, give them a miss but if they are regular discount department stores, then go have a look.

[/QUOTE]In my last visit, I visited BloK M Square shopping mall. Was just killing time and waiting for one of the spas to open. Saw one bird gazing at her phone & having a juice at the food court which is located in the Lower ground level. I purchased some food from the nearby shop. Asked her do you mind if I joined. She knew basic English and Okayed. We talked for some time. She was working in one of the shops outside the mall. It was her break time. Got her local number.

Later in the evening, we chatted, but she started quoting 1 M including the transportation as she stayed in East Jakarta (at least that's what she said). I countered with 600 K at the max. The main reason I want to meet her is because she knows some English. So in a nutshell, I couldn't see her on that trip. But I second what Goferring suggested above. Happy and safe punting.

Cheers.

[QUOTE=Chilli1;3021853]Could you share what malls worked best for you. Some malls mix age of crowd vs some higher age like north Jakarta.[/QUOTE]Back in the day, my go-to hunting ground was the Atrium Mall, which was reliable to pick up sweet talents in the early to late afternoon. It was very easy to walk around and most of the girls open to pickup would hang at the circular railing at the south end of the mall. From the 4th floor, there was a line of sight to the upper and lower floors, so everybody could look at everybody and it was obvious after lurking which girls were working as they were unaccompanied and just hanging at the railing. This was before Google Translate, so as a bule foreigner, negotiation was done discreetly through hand signals. Even with a few words, the girls would just follow me out to the taxi stand.

It was at Atrium that I met the girl who would become my girlfriend and Alpha Pimpette. We developed a mutually beneficial relationship and she brought me dozens and dozens of girls over my visits. Don't think I will ever come close to the fun we had. I know that Atrium became a lot more gentrifed, but given the location and setup, I (would like to) believe that there are still memories to be made there. Enjoy Jakarta, AR.

A couple of quick questions:

- In Classic (or other hotels?) should I tip the girl after the deed? If so how much?

- Should I tip the mamasan after the meet? How much? Some posts made me believe that one should tip 50 k or 100 k.

I read that in T3 and T5 it's 365 k for one girl, which I assume would be rounded up to 400 k unless it's normal to ask for such small change. With the above mentioned tips, one encounter would end up costing 500-600 k.

Also there is an initial entry charge right? How much is it?
