Jakarta

[QUOTE=Hilo77; 1485133]By a remarkable coincidence I came across these pics yesterday, on another forum and I can not claim credit for them. I'm guessing the note she is holding is her payment, the note's design dates it to sometime after 1998 (Krismon) and before the current blue design came in, around 2007 if I'm not mistaken.

Just thought you might find it interesting.[/QUOTE]Looks like Maya. That chick who used to go to Top Gun late at night but also worked as a caddy at one of the local golf courses.

Went to CJ'sfor the first time a couple of nights ago. They have a decent band and a large stage area, but otherwise its too cramped for circulating around. Entry with drink was 140 and draft beers inside were 125 if I remember right. Some of the girls were doable but I didn't chat up anyone to check on prices. I would rate this place on par with BATS for number of, and spread of ladies in looks and age. Probably prices too. Band played an original composition called "wake up CJ's". This kinda summed up the mood there.

Took a silver bird to bats. 125 entry with large draught. Remarked to this girl from cj's on how she managed to beat me to bats in a blue bird taxi. Got chatting with 2 others, and decided to take one of them home. She would rate a 4/7 but had a good vibe. Lots of grinding and some dfk. No drinks asked for or bought. She quoted 1. 6 mil for till late morning. I countered with 1 mil. Give me a yes or no, and if no I will head to blok m. It was a yes. Good attitude and good in bed. Anal was possible but I only got as far as fingering. Too much alcohol in the system. Woke up next morning and finished the deed. She left at 8. Gave me her number. Melinda. Cosmetics sales girl at kuningan city mall. No taxi money asked or offered.

I'm heading to Malioboro now for some Friday afternoon relaxation. Hope the traffic gods are on my side.

Almost 100% of the girls in BATS are hard core hookers. I was in CJs not too long ago and saw something that gave me a good laugh. There are girls who become semi groupies for the band members. We were sitting at the table closest to the far bar and the girl seated across from us was cute and did not look like a hard core hooker. She wasn't the most beautiful girl in the bar, but she seemed to be much more innocent than most of the girls there (not that she was 100% innocent.) A few guys tried to hit on her, but she wasn't interested. Then when the band took a break, the lead singer for the band who wears the glasses came over to her. She was obviously there for him as they hugged, kissed, and their eyes lit up as they talked to each other. It was getting late and the band only had one more set, but after the break the singer returned to the stage. While the band was on stage, a nicely dressed bule made his way over to talk to this girl. At first she didn't pay him any attention, but her friend told her to talk to him. Her friend was not with one of the band members and was interested. I could hear their conversation and she said he looked like he may be new in Jakarta and had money, so she was interested herself. So the girl started flashing a few smiles until the guy said hello again. He talked with them both a bit and went to the bar to buy them each a champagne. While he was up there, they were talking among themselves about how he is obviously only interested in the girl who was dating the singer in the band, but this guy was a very likely big score. The girl without the boyfriend told her maybe they could both go home with him, make big money for the night, and that perhaps once he had been with her, he would like her and it might even lead to him being her "sponsor". Haha. I love the way these girls think. The girl with the band boyfriend was against it, but her friend was pushing her. The guy returned from the bar with the champagne and he continued chatting up the girls. He was very polite and acted like he didn't know the game (but it was obvious this guy did know the game because I had seen him earlier searching for his prey and he hadn't shown any interest in any of the hard core girls. I'm guessing this guy has lived in Jakarta a while and he knew that this girl was not as hard core as most girls there.) The guy went to the restroom and the 2 girls debated what to do. The girlfriend of the band member finally gave in and said she'd do it, but was not happy about it. When the guy returned from the restroom, the friend asked him where he was staying and if he'd like to have a few drinks back at his place. He said sure and asked for the bill. As they waited for the bill, the band finished for the night. The band member boyfriend came down to see his girl in waiting with a smile on his face until he realized she was going to go home with that other guy. She looked sick, and so did he, but he reluctantly backed off. The 2 girls and their target left for the night leaving the band member to try his luck with the few scrags remaining in the bar. I'm guessing the girl likely planned to meet up with him later if possible, but I doubt that happened. Good entertainment watching the drama unfold though! Kasihan deh band dude.

[QUOTE=Egy Monger;1485333]So she ditched the band member guy for the well-dressed guy because she thought the latter would pay?[/QUOTE]Yep. I don't think those band guys make enough to pay the girls the rates they ask these days. He's a young, fairly good looking guy though so I'm sure he could find one of the tante girangs to go with him that night.

Quick visit to Jakarta this weekend to see friends living here, but managed to slip away for some fun.

Hotel Melawai (Blok M) just gave me an awesome threesome. Quite a selection of girls and the two I picked were great fun. There is nothing quite as good as watching two girls taking it in turns blowing you, one sucking away whilst the other licks your balls. Fanfuckingtastic! I asked them what time they start in the morning and. Woo hoo. It's 10am. So, if you need to scratch a morning itch head up to the 6th floor bar where the girls are. Price is 500k for each girl. I'm going to treat myself to 4 tomorrow as a leaving present before I head home. Only downside was I tipped 50k each and they looked disappointed and asked for 100k. As I'd had a pretty good time I dipped into the wallet again.

Tonight going to head to top gun and D's bar. Staying at the Falatehan Hotel so it's only a 1 min walk to get there. I love this town. Hoping I get the job I'm after here, although I doubt I'll be saving much salary considering the action available.

So, went to Ds and was very disappointed. Wasn't very busy at 11pm and the girls there were def not my type as like them young and cute. The only young and cute ones were 3 girls dancing on the stage and they really didnn't look interested in being there. Headed over to Top Gun and was much busier there, but no-one I liked the look of. Went back to D's to see if the girls on stage had got a bit more lively but not much had changed. Was about to call it an unsuccessful evening but decided to give TG another go, The band were going for it, there were a group of idiot backpackers in there being dickheads, but I spotted an amazing looking thing in a tight dress and heels. She was talking to a guy who was looking very interested in her but she got up to go to the toilet so I spotted my chance and intercepted her on the way back to the guy. Bought her a Baileys and it looked like she preferred me (sorry if you were that guy waiting for someone to come back who never did).

Anyhow, her name is Hany, and she's got it tattooed on her arm, which is quite handy if you forget it. She's 21 and got the most killer body I have seen in a long time. She's cute as a button and loves kissing which was fucking awesome. There's not much of a blow-job, and you def have to do the work, but the girl is so damn cute I was just happy to bone her in every position and look down at her gazing up at me. She does a damn good act at that. I'm hopefully moving to Jakarta earl next year so I grabbed her phone number before showing her out.

Tomorrow is back to the Melawai Hotel to have a 5-some before heading to the airport. It'll be a bit costly at 500k per girl + tips but I deserve it.

On Thursday evening internet date number 2 expressed interest in meeting up. She's a mid 30's widowed MILF, with a super pretty face and eyes, extremely light skinned and with latina-esque curves. Works with the government and I've known her (virtually, facebook etc) for about a year now. We met for a dinner dowstairs then back to my room for some drinks. I let her take the lead and soon the conversation turned naughty. About 30 mins in and I was being mauled on the bed. Hot passionate fucking, interspersed with random comments like "don't think badly of me because I slept with you on the first date". Sweet. I shot in her mouth and she drank every drop, attributing the good taste to the pineapple in my fridge. LOL! Nuzzled up for a nap and left around midnight as planned.

Quick shower, and headed out to Le Meridien. It was very quiet and deserted. The security guard directed me to Tigah Puluh. Take a right and walk down an eerily quiet curved corridor. It was so quiet I didn't believe there could be a night club at the end. Came up to a couple of ushers at the head of narrow escalator and I descended down into a quiet lounge with a bar. Ordered a beer at the bar, sitting next to 2 asian men who were talking business with some files and folders.

Some girls appeared on the couches in my peripheral vision. They seemed to appear and vanish randomly on different couches. Like ghosts, apparations. A few minutes later I located the source of the muffled music to a double set of swinging doors on the left.

Wandered in to a dark cavernous area with a circular stage and seating. The house band played the blues and the singer could definitely hold a note. Spotted about 3-4 guys in various dark corners. Again women seemed to appear around the corner of my eye, but when I turned there was no one there. By this time I was pretty certain Tigah Puluh was a haunt for hooker spirits of years gone by. I made a quick exit, up the escalator, double timed through the deserted corridor and out into the courtyard where the lone concierge called a blue bird on the radio."Blok M, jalan falatehan please"."palatehan top gun?"."yes please. Thank you very much".

Top Gun was buzzing. Not many lookers. Parked myself at the bar between two old crones who tried to hook me up with younger girls in turns."This one good for you. Same same your age. You take ok?" Didn't see anything I liked. A shirtless, tattoed white dude with massive beer gut sang Linkin Park and G'nR covers (poorly) with the band on stage. Beer prices seemed to have gone up. I remember paying 37K for a Carlsberg before, but now it was 38k! I left to check out My Bar. DJ playing Kota techno, lots of girls, nothing caught my fancy. Carlsberg here was 46k and Heineken a bit over 50. Top Gun closed at 3am and the girls and punters poured into My Bar. Took a walk down to the main road and waited for a bluebird, in between 3 streetwalkers. One seemed doable, but I was not up for it. They were quoting 500k. Got an Express taxi back to the hotel and slept. From Blok M to Harris FX is only about 5 mins and less than 20K on the meter.

PS: This report might have been influenced by National Geographics ghost series "I Wouldn't Go There" which I watched before I fell asleep with my date, and this was before heading out to Meridien.

[QUOTE=KiJang;1486151]I was pretty certain Tigah Puluh was a haunt for hooker spirits of years gone by.[/QUOTE]Believe it or not, Tiga Puluh was the hottest night club in Jakarta back in the early 2000's. It used to be packed and had drunk girls dancing on top of the bar all the way around the circle surrounding the band. One night I was in there and a girl took her dress completely off and was dancing naked for about 30 seconds until security asked her to put her dress back on. You don't see that often in Jakarta. They had the hottest PR girl ever there as well.

Then they decided to "renovate". If I remember correctly, they were closed for almost a year for that renovation. When they opened again, BATS and CJs were quite popular and Tigah Puluh never regained it's prior popularity. The weird thing about that renovation was the place wasn't much different after the renovation except that it was worse than before because those big poles they have around the stage were now bigger and blocked people's view. They also had a span of time where they had a lot of Africans in there dealing drugs and that chased people away as well.

Nowadays I just consider Tiga Puluh to be closed. It's not worth a visit. Shame really.

Nothing in here that most mongers do not already know, but would like to share my experience at Stadium disco in Kota.

As I got in I was approached by a mamasan inviting me to sit at the bar (the backside of the bar, near the entrance). She brought an attractive girl who spoke no English, after like 3 seconds the girl asks me if I want to take her up to a room, I say I will think about it and she leaves. Mamasan immediately brings over another girl, this one speaks English, does not look as good as the first one but very pleasant. She explains that she works there everyday, that I can take her to a room for 1 hour for 325K including the room, chats me up for half an hour or so. She wants to come to my hotel for "a different price" but the idea of taking a girl who works at Stadium and has already been with many guys that night somehow did not sound right, the place is kind of seedy. So I passed and moved to the other side of the bar.

I was minding my own business, some average shy looking girl with an attractive friend was sitting next to me, she did not make conversation or even look in my direction for 45 minutes or so. She appeared to be with a group and a young rather fit guy looked like he was her boyfriend as they were holding each other from time to time. Suddenly and out of the blue this girl asks me if I want a drink, I decline because I already have one. Then she starts flirting and quickly explains that the young guy (I'll call him #1) is a friend, maybe the attractive girl's brother or something like that (hard to say with the noise). #1 quickly comes over and shakes my hand vigorously, to show that there is no problem and others in the group also come to shake my hand. Girl starts dirty dancing with me and we get closer. She keeps refilling my beer glass from the beer jug that is on the counter, everyone seems to be drinking from there so I accepted. Then she tells me we are going to Millenium because Stadium will close, it was about 5AM. I said OK, actually I thought she said we are going to Mille's which I was planning to move to.

That is when things got weird. A tall Bule (I'll call him #2) who had been glancing at me from time to time, also a fit and strong guy but much taller than #1, comes over and gets into what seems to be an argument with #1. I was not paying much attention but my new girlfriend was also involved in the discussion. Then #2 comes over and speaks in my ear "be careful, they stole my phone last night". I am thinking does he mean "they" as in my new friends, or "they" as in somebody in the club? The warning resounded and I started paying attention. My girl wants to give me some drink from another glass that is not hers, I pass, she says we should leave and go to Millenium with her friends, I reluctantly follow, then all the friends disappear and it's her, #1 and me in the elevator until the door. At that point I am thinking it does not make any sense for me to leave with this girl and her friend / boyfriend whatever he was, #1 is half my age and can easily beat me up if he wants to rob me. She does not look as good in the light anyway, so I tell her I changed my mind and want to stay at Stadium. She calls #1, who was already in the street, and tells him. I can see her expression, she is like apologizing to him and now my mind is completely made up that this is a setup. #1 tells her to insist, she tries hard, finally they both realize I am not going to budge. So she asks me for 500K. And I am like "what"? Fortunately this was in front of the club so I was still safe (kindda) , then #1 says she is joking she only needs 50K, I give her 50K to get rid of both of them, I'd rather waste 5 bucks than have them wait for me at the door or start trouble. They leave.

Back inside I find #2, he is busy with a girl now, I thanked him and asked him what he meant earlier, did he mean that "they" these people I was with, robbed him? He said yes. I could not believe it because he looked stronger and much taller than #1 but anyway he did not give me details and I just thanked him again and left. Maybe he is a fellpw ISG reader and will recognize himself, I am grateful for his warning, if they could rob him they could definitely rob me. Nothing else, I went to Mille's for a short while then back to my room with my money and my phone. Tonight the big head prevailed. Mahal.

[QUOTE=Smoothy;1486284]Believe it or not, Tiga Puluh was the hottest night club in Jakarta back in the early 2000's.[/QUOTE]Couldn't agree more. I've never really been into BATS, but Tiga Puluh was really good fun. Not only did it have hard core working girls, it also had a huge number of girls just looking for fun, out drinking with their friends, but quite happy to find male company. It's a sad, pale shadow of its former self at this point.

[QUOTE=Mahal;1486351]Nothing in here that most mongers do not already know, but would like to share my experience at Stadium disco in Kota.[/QUOTE]Mate, there is no way to ever know if you dodged a bullet, but it sounds to me like you were being set up. Honestly, Stadium is not the place for mongering. If you want to go with some friends you trust, eat some pills, and dance it is a great place to be. There is so much sketchy stuff that goes on in there, including hardcore drug dealing and organized crime that unless you are used to that kind of scene, you are really just a target to the number of piranha hoping they can get into your pockets while you survive a drug induced stupor. I would never go to Stadium to get laid as I would make bad decisions, and I would never go there without a buddy or five to have my back if things get weird. We watch out for each other, enjoy the awesome music, eat a pill or two, dance, and save the mongering stuff for areas where westerners are not so much a target. I spent a lot of time in the rave scene in the UK and have been in Jakarta for almost nine years. Some of my best nights of my life have been in Stadium with my mates. However, some of the scariest, most fucked up nights of my life have been in Stadium too. Jakarta tourists really should be careful there as some bule sitting there by himself talking to mamasan might as well put a sign over his head inviting trouble. Glad you are ok. You made good decisions.

[QUOTE=Mahal;1486351]Tonight the big head prevailed. Mahal.[/QUOTE]It sounds like you should have gone upstairs with the first girl the mamasan brought you, then went home.

You were lucky not to accept the girl's drink. You'd have likely been drugged. It's never a good idea to try for any girl who is already "friends" with a young bule. Young bules (especially expat kids with no job) are the main ones who will try to steal your phone. They just want to sell it for money to buy their drugs.
