Cherry popped Jakarta report
I'm writing this with the experiences of two as my wingman isn't a member. I also did a separate report on Bali in that forum. Check my past posts if you want to read it.
Arrival: Fist I want to say thanks again to the forum members who helped me with the airport logistics.
I got in around 12:30 am. VOA and immigration and claiming my bags was a breeze. Since I got in late I was unable to rendezvous with my wingman. Having RTFF I told him when he landed to catch a blue bird. However he didn't listen and caught a ride with some fella. He then arranged for this fella to go to the airport to pick me up. I exit the airport and there the dude was holding up my name. Total damage from the airport to blok M was around $30 USD. Yeah I could have just walked on by the guy but I didn't realize he wasn't metered until after I got in the taxi. Also he recognized me right away since I look unique. I guess I just didn't want to be rude.
Accommodations: Ironic how I'm writing my report as you all are having a 5 star hotel debate. Well we really don't care to much for fancy hotels. Give me clean, WiFi, a safe, working bathroom, comfy bed and I'm fine. We initially stayed at the Fave. Now I think I must mention a funny situation that occurred. I booked about two nights on Agoda and got a great deal. Upon arriving at the hotel they said I had to pay for my room. When I told them I already paid on Agoda. They said Agoda told them they cancelled the reservation due to fraud and my card was never charged. I say fine and go to pay the same amount I paid on Agoda. They replied that the rooms they have are more expensive now. I show him the email with the price I got the room for. Now I don't know how true this is but the clerk says he thinks Agoda fucked up and gave be a rate that was too cheap. Instead of eating the cost they simply sad "fraud" and cancelled my reservation. Far too many scenarios to try to figure out exactly what happened but I just wanted to share that. Luckily they had rooms available and the price difference wasn't too great. However I would hate for someone to really get burned this way do always double check before your trip.
Eventually we left blok M and stayed at the POP! Hotel in Kemang. I liked this place. The hotel was at most a year or two old. The decor is minimal, modern, very bright and full of vibrant colors.
Girls girls liked this place. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that the rooms didn't have phones. Yeah I could simply call my m8 on his cell phone but I usually throw my cell phone in the safe when I have overnight company so having the room phone comes in handy.
Ambiance:
Kemang Blok M.
-Traffic. Holy fucking shit this city has a lot traffic. The only time I saw it let up was late and [URL]night.Com[/URL]pared to other capitals I have been in you really have plan around the traffic if you need to be somewhere at a certain time. Wingman and I both got hit with hefty meter bill and being when meeting up for our respective dates. Oh and pray your taximan does not take a wrong turn. I think they need some better city planing or something.
-Malls are all over the place and they are huge. I wonder who is doing all of this shopping? MAny of the locals I met complain about the malls vs green space. They also complain about them continuing to build. I guess its a shoppers paradise. I will say I did do a fair amount of shopping in the so I won't poo poo all over the malls.
-Scenery was typical of any major city. Not nothing to write home about.
-The people. In general they were cool. They were helpful when I asked a question & I had no issues with anyone. Of course I got stares because I'm a bule with dark skin but its to be expected.
Being a majority Muslim country I wasn't sure what I would find. From what I could see they are more relaxed than their cousins in the middle east. I guess that general SE Asian culture permeates and leaves its stamp.
Girls: This is the part you all have been waiting for. To let you all know we tend to pick up Flers. We try to avoid massage parlors, mamasans, papasans. Hats off to you fellas who like that. Its just not our thing. The very first night we went to grab some food around Blok M. We met two girls hanging out. One was 23 and on the slim side; which is right down my alley. Her friend was less attractive to me so I kinda ignored her. Another girl showed up not too long after who was a 10. My friend told me the night before (he arrived before me) he chatted with her and she would budge from 1 million. So this night he was armed with me and decided to use bargaining power and peer pressure. I had literally just gotten off a 22 hour flight 2 hours before and wanted to rest but decide. Alas I'm already here and out of the hotel, in for a penny in for a pound. My friend tells skinny girl I will take her for 500 K if she can get MS. Juta to go with him for 700 K. Well his plan worked. They agreed and off we went to get our Indonesia cherries popped. Post game wrap up we both enjoyed our sessions.
Over the next few days I met up with girls I met dating sites from beforehand. I had one success. I wouldn't call the other failures Its just that I needed more time. I still got way more action after a month being on the site in Indonesia than a whole year back home. Wingman didn't bother to lay (pun intended) any internet groundwork. However he (58) did manage to me a 27 year old Indo Chinese girl on a plane from Bali and set up a date a couple days later. Something that wouldn't happen in his wildest dreams in the states.
The rest of our mongering time was spent checking out a few clubs. We visited Nu China and a few other clubs on that street. Mostly a younger crowd in their 20's which is typical of any night club. Me being 39 and him being 58 I think we were aged out. Plenty of hot young girls there but it would take a little work. We went to BATS one night just to take a look. Plenty 10's but given the economic conditions; the starting price for company should be no where near what a girl back home are asking. The place itself seemed a tad pretentious so I guess they were just fitting in.
The area we ended up getting girls from was the "low end" Blok M. Most nights we got girls from there. Damage was between 300 k and 500 K. Of course beers and shit added to that. Did Top Gun a few times but found the music and smoke to be too obnoxious. It was too difficult to speak in there and constantly having to wash smoke out of clothes was a drag (pun intended yet again). The girls were fine however. One was actually quite exceptional. After a session with one I woke up to her placing my penis squarely in her back door. I had never had a girl working or not shove me in her backdoor without me asking for it. That was a pleasant experience. My bar seemed to get jumping around 2 pm. I met quite a few nice girls there and the music / smoke was less abrasive.
The times we didn't do the club thing we headed up north to classics. Sometimes its good to not have to hunt and be guaranteed a nice pretty young thing. Man this place is efficient. As soon as we walk in the mamasans are on your case with the little laser light pointing to girls. We ended up deciding when we went we would walk around in the middle to evade the mamasan drones. The plan worked for about 10 whole minutes. Once my buddy was captured and mated. I ran to the only mamasan free zone, the restroom. When I came out he was gone so I figure him and his female mate were tagged and caged for breeding.
While it can be annoying that they are that aggressive and they give you little opportunity to choose a girl it can be a bit refreshing. To be honest besides me saying no to a few girls because they were too chunky I had a good experience with each. And 350 K for a 7-10 hell even if I have a bad experience its so cheap I can get another without blinking. The last girl I was with was the only one to ask for ciggs and a soda. After I bought them she the asked for a tip. I just pointed to the ciggs and soda. I gave her a tip anyway. Another minor issue that isn't really their fault was that cell signal sucked in the rooms. This is only a problem because there went my google translate with it. None of the girls I was with spoke any English. It was pointing, eye contacts and Tarzan bahasa the whole time.
The only other place (I forget the name) we went to was a little local club we bumped into in north Jakarta. All the girls working there were in rep tops and wanted us to get drinks. Upon observation it seemed like the girls were just there to dance with guys and get them to buy drinks. I don't think they were there four out calls or in house action. After noticing this we paut our 200 K for two bintang and left.
Wrap up: OK my buddy and I came away with different opinions of Jakarta. He didn't enjoy himself much. He thought it was too difficult to find girls compared to Thailand and the city had too much sprawl. He thought the girls wee decent looking but not much different from Thailand either. I guess he thinks he would get a better bang for his buck there.
As for me I had a decent time. I think its kinda wrong to compare it to the most popular monger destination in SE Asia and think it would come close. I think it would be better to compare it to other capitals. When we do this I think it would have the same batting average. I also think when picking up regular girls time is definitely a factor. One can't really expect a regular girl to fuck you on the 1st date. Besides a working girl who does? Unless of course you spent a while talking to her online before. Just like other SE Asian countries there are plenty of good looking women open to screwing ya but the proper time must be invested. All in all I think plenty of fun can be had in Jakarta. I would rate my experience a 8 out of 10.
Sorry for typos, grammar and shit.
Do young women in Jakarta speak English?
Thank you to those who responded to my question about attractiveness of women in Jakarta. Is it difficult to find young women in Jakarta who speak English?
