Hello friends,

Will be visiting Jakarta on 2nd week of June.

Its a short trip so I won't be able to take more than 1 WG.

My preferences are young, beautiful, good asset, good service.

I won't be able to arrange place.

And I will be taking her for maximum 2 shots.

All kinds are welcome be it Indonesian or Vietnamese.

Haven't taken Vietnamese before though.

Would love to try something out in Vietnamese.

Kindly provide some leads.

I would love to be of assistance in return.

I have very less space in my inbox so please bear with me if it gets full.

I'll try to make space for everyone.

Cheers.

With a first post on this forum like that, you have got to be kidding. Who is going to send you a PM? My guess is very few. There's lots of information here on the forum already. I suggest you either read the forum for information or maybe try making a connection on facebook [URL]https://www.facebook.com/JakartaIndian/[/URL].

Hey fellas,

Well, here it is, the trip report for my visit to Jakarta in mid-April 2019. Apologies for the tardiness of this report, but I've been swamped with tasks and duties since I got back from Indonesia and only recently have had time to sit down and compose this report.

Apologies to anyone who thinks that my report is tedious. But as anyone can see from my many other reports on ISG (Medellin, Sint Maarten, Budapest, Guadalajara, San Salvador, Saint Petersburg, Merida, Trinidad, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Tokyo, Vancouver, Quito, Belize City), I tend to be hyper-specific with information. But for this report, if you just want the details of my (attempted) mongering, skip down to number five below.

1) Airline. I hopped across the Pacific on EVA Air:

Traveling to 34 different countries since 2008, this is the first airline to ever hassle me about the weight of my carry-on bag, and I've been on everything, from a 787 Dreamliner out of Tokyo to a Cessna 208 Caravan into Guatemala. But they redeemed themselves when it was time to hop back across the Pacific. Forced to wait for documents, we left Jakarta an hour and a half late and landed in Taipei ten minutes after my connecting flight was supposed to depart. Luckily, they held the connecting flight for me and about a dozen other passengers connecting in Taipei from other flights. All in all, I was pretty satisfied with EVA Air and will likely use them for a future trip to Taipei.

2) Guidebook. I used Lonely Planet Pocket Jakarta:

[URL]shop.lonelyplanet.com/search?q=Jakarta[/URL]

In all of my travels, I've almost always used Lonely Planet guidebooks and have always used their full-size country or city guidebooks, so I was pretty skeptical about a pocket-size version. But Lonely Planet Pocket Jakarta was packed with information about what to see, where to eat, where to shop, and where to party. The only information that it didn't have was where to sleep, but most tourists probably already have a hotel reservation before they land at the airport anyway. A new edition of the Lonely Planet Pocket Jakarta guidebook is scheduled to be released this July.

3) Passport. There was some recent discussion in this forum about carrying your passport on your person and running the risk of losing it or having it stolen by a pickpocket versus not carrying it and running the risk of being shaken-down by corrupt law enforcement who request to see your passport and immigration stamp at a police or military checkpoint. Well, for over a week, I walked all over Jakarta and took many taxis, and not once did anyone ask to see my passport or immigration stamp. The exception to that was at Dua Sisi Money Changer in Plaza Senayan, where I needed to provide my passport each time I made a currency exchange. Otherwise, I kept my passport in the security safe of my hotel room with no issues.

4) Hotel. Speaking of hotel, I was lodged for over a week at Fairmont Jakarta:

Now, Natty Bumpo said:

[QUOTE=NattyBumpo;2260292]Now to my Fairmont review: Wow! This IS a true 5-star hotel. It is also very large, about 5 times as large as the Fairmont Makati. The 1-bedroom suite was the size of two deluxe rooms with a living room / dining room, the bedroom and 1. 5 bathrooms. Everything was modern, new and top quality.[/QUOTE]And he was exactly right. Clean and modern with a friendly and helpful staff and an amazing breakfast buffet, Fairmont Jakarta was perfect for my time in the city. The hotel is connected to Plaza Senayan via underground and above-ground passages, with Senayan City a short, outdoor walk away. At both Plaza Senayan and Senayan City, there's extensive shopping, currency exchange, and restaurants. If you'd like to have a good sampling of food from Indonesia but don't want to go too far from Fairmont Jakarta, go to Remboelan, which has a location in both Plaza Senayan and Senayan City. Personally, I found the Remboelan in Senayan City to be more hip with better service than at the Remboelan in Plaza Senayan.

5) Attempted Session. I visited CJ's Bar on the Saturday immediately before Easter Sunday. CJ's is located on the second floor of Hotel Mulia and is an easy, 15-minute walk from Fairmont Jakarta. When you walk through the main entrance of Hotel Mulia, take the staircase on the right, which will bring you to the receptionist desk and entrance doors of the bar.

I arrived at the ridiculously early time of 945 pm. At the desk, the receptionist told me that there was an Easter party that night and that the cover charge was two hundred sixty thousand rupiah. I paid the cover charge and got both a receipt for a Heineken draft as my welcome drink and an Easter cookie from the receptionist.

I entered the bar, got a quick "hand wand" security check, then exchanged my receipt for a small Heineken draft at the bar. The place was dead, but I made eye contact with a couple of WGs who were already on the prowl and took a seat at a section of one of the raised tables that didn't have a reserved sign on it. I made conversation with one of the waiters, who said that a sofa in the VIP section was four million three hundred thousand rupiah with one million three hundred thousand rupiah in food and drinks included, while couches in the other room (the one with the painting of the Rolling Stones on the wall) was two million rupiah with one million rupiah in food and drinks included.

I quickly finished my Heineken and ordered a bottled Bintang beer from a waiter for one hundred twenty thousand rupiah. From the time I sat down and until the band started playing at 11 pm, I was approached by two WGs. The first was unappealingly pear-shaped and promised a great massage and sex until I was tired. The second said she was 33 years old but honestly looked 45. Both WGs started with the usual questions (What is your name? Where are you staying? How long will you be in Jakarta?) and immediately quoted prices in dollars but switched to rupiah when asked. Their opening offers were somewhere in the neighborhood of two million to two million five hundred thousand rupiah, but they quickly dropped to one million five hundred thousand rupiah when I genuinely acted not interested. Once the band started playing at 11 pm, most WGs in the place retreated to the bar near the entrance door so they could eye-fuck potential clients around the room. And at 1 am, with most WGs eagerly puffing away on cigarettes and rolling clouds of smoke filling the room, I decided to tap out and head back to the hotel. Even though I didn't monger, I'm happy I had the experience, as the band was great and the crowd was lively and fun.

So that's it. Apologies for this not being the hottest, nastiest, ball-slappingest report that's ever been written for ISG, but if even one monger finds my contribution useful, then I'll be satisfied. Just for the hell of it, I've attached a picture of the receipts for my Bintang beers, my Fairmont Jakarta room key card, and the Easter cookie that CJ's was giving out on the night of my visit. Comments, questions, and insults are welcome from other ISG mongers.

All of who also love to do anal and who get really turned on by men with a sense of privilege like you sound to be. But your inbox was full, how sad!. Too bad I am going mountain climbing in Antarctica for the next 3 months and won't be able to help you anymore. Would have loved to share my contacts with you. Not!

[QUOTE=Menteng;2328998]Same thought! But how come you concluded that he is Indian?[/QUOTE]Smoothy concluded because his past posts are in Indian threads.

I haven't been to Jakarta for 8 years and can only remember the name of one place I visited which was Hotel Travel, I visited 2 other clubs a short distance by taxi from Hotel Travel, I will be returning soon, can anyone recommend any good clubs / massage parlours to visit which is near to Hotel Travel.

Not just Indian but Jbb pretty much declared himself Senior member of Mumbai and seeking contacts! He made similar post in Mumbai but luckily he was looking for Afro instead of Indonesian or Vietnamese! I don't know what kind of herbs he is on but it's definitely not working on his favor LMAO. His Hyderabad post is quite interesting too.

[/QUOTE]1) If you like Vietnamese girls, you are visiting the wrong country.

2) "I won't be able to arrange place".
This is a strange comment. OK let me guess. Your plane ticket was expensive and you are short on Cash now.

This message is a prime example of how to annoy, irritate and destroy goodwill.

[QUOTE=Gargano19;2329007]Smoothy concluded because his past posts are in Indian threads.[/QUOTE]Not really. I didn't need to look at any old posts. It seems that almost every Indian visiting Jakarta for the first time has either sent me a PM or posted the same format of text. It's easily identifiable.

And I do agree with BKKGuru's comment that "This message is a prime example of how to annoy, irritate and destroy goodwill." Unfortunately, it seems to be pretty much every time any Indian posts on this Jakarta forum for the first time. Must be a cultural thing.

It provides readers with well rounded information to the Jakarta scenes.

A close friend's wife who is a cool California MILF (smokes weed and is not judgmental and still looks good for her age. Not that I would try anything we are practically family) goes to Jakarta all the time for business and stays at the Mullia.

Shew will pop down to CJs for a drink when she is there and people watch so we compared notes.

She is convinced the place is run by mamsans and says she has met them before and watched them control their "bitches". I never encountered any such thing in my 10+ visits there and have only talked to FL girls (most who were there alone or with a friend or two).

At first I though she was talking about Classic or Malioboro the way she was describing the place. LOL But she was describing her time at CJs.

In any case, have any of you more experienced mongers encountered mamsans there? I think my milfy friend was just high or overexagerating (in the typical Western female fashion when it comes to our hobbie).

Come to think of it we were both pretty high when we had this conversation so that could also explain things. LOL.

Stay horny my friends!

[QUOTE=Smoothy;2329081]Must be a cultural thing.[/QUOTE]Yes, it is a cultural thing. Not trying to be defensive of irritating requests for help, desperate pleas for sharing the contacts. Here are my 2 cents, hoping to improve the understanding of my fellow country men in this forum.

Culturally, India is not "individualistic" unlike West and this is similar to Asian culture. Applying this to men, they are used to be part of a group where all the requests for help or providing help to others are very informal. Its perfectly normal for a Indian man to help a friend in a life altering way and not even expecting a return of "thank you". And this friend would have done the same thing to him, is the basis of this, it is not lacking gratitude. While this sounds normal, mix this concept with inexperienced men, exposed to global citizens. All these requests sound very much like "entitlement". While typing the request, he would have felt that the request is legitimate, but that is not the case in a global forum like this. Sometimes, I also read messages which kind of said in the similar lines of "I don't have time to read the forum, someone summarize it for me". I tried to explain how these ideas are coming from.

Change to "individualistic" culture is happening across India and is happening faster than ever with growing economy, nuclear families with high percentage of disposable income. Future might judge next generation more kindly. But I am part of this transitional generation and it is personally frustrating for me to take the slaps that were reserved for my fellow country man who deserved them.

Uncle V.[/QUOTE]I have never heard from the CJ girls ever mentioning about mamasans there. I would know since these CJ freelancers that I pick up usually share a lot of gossips with me. Even though I don't go to Jakarta often, these girls would occasionally check in with me to ask about my next visit to CJ, or if they are bored or feeling down, would just chat with me over everything via WhatsApp.

Nonetheless, the freelancers do know each other relativity well and they do share info among one another.
