Don't forget about Kartika
I tried sending the following text as a PM to TiVida, but he can't receive PM's, so I decided to post it here, with the hopes that he'll see it:
Dear TiVida,
I highly recommend you consider a visit to Kartika Spa, which is three alleyways north of the alley where you enter Stadium. It's a bit run down but the service is superb.
Kartika is the place where you get a full body "nuru-style" soapy body massage, something that every man should experience at least once in their lives. Ideally, you should try a two-girl session although that is a little pricey. I think the house fee is 350, 000 or 400, 000 rupiah per girl for an hour, plus the expected tip is probably 100, 000 rupiah per girl.
It was my favorite place when I worked in Jakarta (2004-2009) and I went there at least once every 3 weeks or so during that time. It was discussed extensively here on ISG in the past, especially 2006-2008, but I rarely see it mentioned anymore. Not sure why.
Do a search on my old posts 2004-2008 and you'll see that I discussed Kartika a lot. If you don't want to spring for a 2-girl session, a 1-girl session will still be memorable. My two favorite girls were Cynthia (who unfortunately died in 2007 of a stomach disease) , and Cindy, who may still be there.
An old tip. For a 2-girl session, never pick the 2 girls yourself (unless it's obvious that the 2 girls are friends). I always pick one girl and let her choose the 2nd girl, that way you know the 2 girls are compatible and will work together. I learned this the hard way back in February 2005, when I picked 2 girls on my own and then discovered up in the room that they couldn't stand each other.
