[Hung Man 1808]

Notorious for playing small change games are the Bluebirds. I love these guys, but did you notice the price has really crept up pretty fast since COVID ended?

The last time I caught a Bluebird was 2022 - right outside the hotel for expediency. 5 minutes up the road. A few minutes in and I notice the meter isn't on (a Bluebird first in 20 years). I pull out change for what I expect it should cost plus a tip - 35 k. He asks for 150 k at destination. 35 k cash handed over, a few stern words in Bahasa, and the doors open.

Grab all the way since (using the Wise card in Rupiah currency). No problem at all. Or my 'friend' who ferries me around in her car, for a few favours of course.

Never catching a taxi again if I can avoid it.

So been busy with back to back SBs. 1st one came and fcked me non stop all night and day. Broke my dick. BBFS, A levels, DT sub the lot. These are actual uni teens who just want experience of an older man. Actually had to decline one and make an excuse just so I could check out EMP. Dave sorted me out but the girl (apple orange or some fruit name BTW) unlike my SBs don't speak english so I don't using this translator business. Was really good session in the pool, all the brothers with a chick. Met some mericans and japs. Got drunk then somehow leaving emporium ended up on another floor with a bar. Made friends with barman, bouncers etc tipped them and of course more working girls were introduced to me. So took one and smashed her good. These ones speak english well and they have another room setup for taking them. More expensive but worth it imo for the pros.

On the way out met another super attractive indo with a rack bouncer said place now closed; I paid to take to my hotel room and to spend the night. I already had 4 rounds so ended up just finger fucking the life out of her. Ordered some food and she was happy. She left in the morning after a good attempt to make me cum but we must of had a good time in the night as the clothes were ripped and all over the place. She left without her knickers and embarrassingly room service found them one the curtains.

Just smashed another uni student SB, took her to dinner and back to room to fuck again. The problem now is getting rid of one so the others lined up can come. Very clingy, a bit too much. BBFS was never offered while chatting but once I got them in bed it was up for grabs as in they all attempted it and I said no and covered up. Interesting.

What a place this is. Still overwhelmed. Seeking in my experience is target rich, but in the west it was 26-40 yr olds with a career. Here I have switched to these uni teens, of course you still have to weed out the social media wannabes and self proclaimed princesses.

Happy hunting.

I took a Garuda Indonesia flight from Seoul to Jakarta, and let me tell you, the flight attendants were sexy in the dress

...

Overall, I had such a great time in Jakarta that I decided to cancel my Bali trip on the way back to spend more time here next week. I heard Bali offers a wonderful retreat, based on the reports and talking to others, it just doesn't have the same draw to meet girls, and pricier, fewer options, and quality isn't as high. I've seen enough to know Jakarta is the better choice, saving time, money, and effort by sticking around here.

Wow, what can I say about this report? First, agree about the flight attendants. Lion and AirAsia hotties also. I honestly haven't tried Garuda yet, since the prices aren't at all competitive. But the young skinny lasses on the Southeast Asian airlines are all smoking hot.

Your five days in paradise have great selection. I was jealous reading every word. Unfortunately I don't have the same level of luck you do at VFOUR. I walk in, the ladies aren't as pretty, young, skinny, and the few times I flirted with one on the side, they told me BBFS was strictly forbidden and they didn't do it. Oh well.

Your closing paragraph about Bali is spot on. It's great to relax and I really have nothing negative to say about Bali, but when you read 5 paragraphs of heaven du jour, I myself find that I'm happiest just hanging out in Jakarta. Funny shit how that perspective unfolds.

Don't disappoint me! I'm heading over to the KL forum to hopefully see your adventure continue!

When going to destinations such as Jakarta you should aim to only spend about $100 usd worth of local currency a day. That's 1,570,000 rupiah at the current exchange rate. That's like 4 sessions at classic with money left over for street food. Just using classic as an example but there are many places where you can session for 400 mil a pop.

Also as Love it here and others have pointed out there are ATMs that dispense 50 k and 100 k notes only. So not sure which ATM you are using that's dispensing small denomination bills but if you were to get money at the ATMs that dispense 100 k notes then $100 usd would be about 15 bills which is hardly a "brick" in fact in Colombia I have kept more than 15 50 k notes in my wallet and I was still able to fold it just fine.

And also, in my experience, it's better to have smaller denomination bills anyways because people don't always have change for the larger bills especially when buying stuff in the street then you're standing around waiting for them to find change.

Gabacho.

I live by these rules. Though I will say that even 4 M IDR which is not much when folded in the middle describes a pretty fat WAD OF CASH that we're probably calling a BRICK now.

Notorious for playing small change games are the Bluebirds. I love these guys, but did you notice the price has really crept up pretty fast since COVID ended? A short trip used to be 10-20 k. Now it's 25-35 k. What's worse is when you pull out a 100 k and ask for 50 k change (I leave a generous westerner gauge tip especially if I take a Bluebird out of a queue for a short distance ride), the drivers often don't carry sufficient cash change!

There have been times I needed a 17 k ride, and for a 50 k bill, driver only carried a couple of 5 k bills. Nothing I lose sleep over, we're talking 1 USD or 2 USD lost in efficiency. But if you're seeing my point, it's about paying 50 k for a 14-17 k ride simply because driver has no change.

Oh, I recently and unfortunately found a terrible reason to have in my room a huge wad of cash. I met a hot young masseuse who's a 9.5 face and 10 body. When she offered me special massage, I nearly flipped thinking I was so lucky to get a HJ from her. I double flipped when I asked to have sex and she responded by asking if I'd like her to undress which I nodded emphatically YES. Guess what I triple flipped about? Fuck it, don't guess. bbbj bbfs. Was it worth 90 mins 2.5M? Wow, I'm going to say yes, since there have been so many recent posts from you hard ballers heading up to Emporivm and what not.

Can you confirm specifically which Luminor hotel? I think the are 2🤔.

Also are mosquitos prevalent in Jakarta? I reached badly with a ridiculous over reaction 😨.

Holy shit. Are mosquitos prevalent in Jakarta? That's the understated question of the year. I'll say that the mosquito problem is either BAD or it's FUCKING UNBELIEVABLY BAD.

A) Bad is finding 1 mosquito in every 4 Bluebirds you step into.

B) Fucking unbelievably bad is finding 3 mosquitoes in every 1 Bluebird you step into.

The difference between A and be would be the month of the year which affects temps (believe it or not) and rainfall / humidity. I'm sorry to say I can't remember which months fall under the A category and which fall under be. In August, I had an A month.

It's hot in Jakarta even at night, and the taxi drivers nap with the windows open. This naturally draws the mosquitos into the taxis in droves! And they're usually filled with blood when you splat them. The key to finding them at night is to shine your phone light and they'll usually find themselves around the beam and cast a long shadow as well as light themselves up for a splat. You'll want to take these guys out, they carry dengue fever!

Nice trip report- thanks! I also stay in the Manga Besar area, and Sparks was always my go to hotel. Last trip I moved across the street to the Luminor- nicer hotel and fewer mosquitos for a few bucks more- no issues bringing girls back.

Pre-COVID there were a couple of vans full of girls around the area. I found one once right on Manga Besar, and another time around the corner from Hotel Travel. Same 300 k+ tip as Lokisari, but better selection- keep your eyes open to see if they've come back. First time I found one through a Moto tout- had to tip him 50 and also pay him 20 for transport of the girl back to my hotel. But got a cute, submissive braces wearing fresh looking 21 yr old for less than 500 k all in- recommended. I did have to pay the 300 k to the pump in the van to take the girl though. In general, I hate paying in advance, but for a smaller amount I'll risk it.

Have any of you ever taken the Jakarta Airport train into the city? I think it goes to BNI Station and some other ones too. I'm going to be staying at the Classic Hotel and wondering which would be the best station to get off and get a Grab from there to Classic.

I would post an answer but it would just be taken down as too argumentative like food was. So sorry I could not help.

I took a Garuda Indonesia flight from Seoul to Jakarta, and let me tell you, the flight attendants were sexy in the dress, I can't wait to reach Jakarta and had a vibe this trip was off to a fantastic start. Takeoff, landing, customs, immigration, and the Blue Bird taxi ride from the airport to Sparks Life hotel all went smoothly. I arrived at my hotel around 5 pm, took a quick shower, and jumped right into action.

Day 0 I first headed to my favorite Kota Indah bar, VFOUR. I love the setup there, with tables in two categories400 k and 800 k. Each table had a few girls, made me feel like a kid in a candy store. First, I picked a cute tall girl with voluptuous breasts and sexy ass. She looked like Korean, was awesome, DFK, GFE, amazing, let me cum on her breasts. After resting briefly, I picked a Sundanese girl, she was alright, not as good as the first one. Afterward, I explored some other bars in the complex. The problem with most Kota Indah bars, the girls are grouped like sardines, hard to take a good look or have a small talk before the deed. There was one girl at MTR2 I really liked, but she mentioned she was waiting on a customerwho knows. Then I went to Sari Ayu and picked a slim, petite, sassy smile, OMG, she didn't disappoint me at all. I loved her sloppy tongue all over me..

I used the ATMs, it feels a little silly needing to do multiple transactions because the max you can withdraw is 100-200 USD and the bills are small denomination, so you end up walking around with a brick of bills. I guess that's the downside to keeping things off the credit card statement.

I don't need to prove anything to anyone. But Indonesian food is good and there are great Indonesian restaurants in Singapore for example Its not as well known as Thai food, but its still pretty good. My helper at home is Indonesian and she cooks amazing dishes. But also Jakarta has good Japanese food (Sushi, Omakase, Japanese BBQ etc), some high end Chinese food (example Chin Chin), decent Italian and other restaurants as well, all at a fraction of the price of the west or Singapore. I've also found good Vietnamese and Thai food. Jakarta is a major city and has more things than just hooker bars you know.

I am going to be in town next week though, so if you are around, I am happy to show you.

There a smaller Indonesian expat community, thus fewer overseas Indonesian restaurants. But most major cities will have a few Indonesian restaurants. And of course, Holland is famous for its Indonesian food- you see Rijsttafel everywhere.

Day 0 – I first headed to my favorite Kota Indah bar, VFOUR. I love the setup there, with tables in two categories—400 k and 800 k. Each table had a few girls, made me feel like a kid in a candy store. First, I picked a cute tall girl with voluptuous breasts and sexy ass.

There was one girl at MTR2 I really liked, but she mentioned she was waiting on a customer—who knows. Then I went to Sari Ayu and picked a slim, petite, sassy smile, OMG, she didn't disappoint me at all. I loved her sloppy tongue all over me.

Day 1 – After breakfast, I saw the hotel offers an in-house massage service. The therapists wait next to the reception desk and come directly to your room upon request. During my stay, I saw at least four different therapists at various times, all in uniform, young, sexy. I decided to give it a try. Within 10 minutes, the girl showed up, got 90 minutes massage for 300 K. It was a good massage, no sign of extras, but she didn't mind my occasional groping her ass. I asked her if she would be open for more, but she was shy and declined. Tipped her 100 K. She smiled at me a few times as I walked by the front desk during my stay. I took a walk to Lokasari plaza and had a haircut, manicure, pedicure, facial, and had lunch at Pizza Hut. Later afternoon, I headed to Hotel Classic Terminal 2 and spent at least five hours there, meeting with three different girls one after another, with breaks in between. The young girls at Classic are great to pin down to have at them. That night I went to Lokasari and brought a girl to my hotel. She was young, short, thick, wore braces, paid 300 K. She is a good fuck and likes to ride, but not a GFE, DFK type. She gave her number, and offered to bring her friend for threesome the next night, but it didn't interest me.

Day 2 – After breakfast, I decided to try the Lokasari sauna & spa at the Lokasari plaza. The price is 210 k for 90 minutes for massage and spa. A heavier-set therapist was sent to my room, and although I wanted to reject and ask for a different therapist, I was already naked on the massage table. The massage itself was fairly strong and average, she begged me to get HJ for 100 k, again reluctantly accepted. After spending sometime in the sauna, I left, Next time, I'll remember to ask to see therapist in advance. That evening I decided to check out the South Jakarta scene and took a Grab to Mr Braid. It was at least 40 minutes ride passing by CJs, Blok M. At Braid, there were at least 25 girls, I went with a Latina looking girl, she was alright, light DFK, soft breasts and pussy. While the girls are attractive and older and younger mixed here, the overall setup felt a bit uninviting, more of point and shoot. You can refer to my previous review on this bar for more details. From there, I hit Kota Indah complex and had one girl with killer body and ass from VFOUR, but she was enthusiastic at first but went tired within few minutes, then went to MTR2 and picked a short, thick, submissive girl. She was alright. That night, I hit the Exito lounge at the hotel I was staying, there was DJ / Live Music / Karaoke every night. There were regular customers, but also spotted a few FLs, I liked one woman, invited her for a drink, but her wing girl insisted that she join her with me. I didn't take the bait, had a feeling that this may be setup by the hotel to scam customers to buy drinks.

Day 3 – In the morning, I had a massage at Angelina Reflexy in Lokasari Plaza, it was a professional massage, 60 minutes for 150 K and tipped 50 K. In the afternoon, I took a side trip to Bandung on Whoosh train, largely exploring the places LoveItHere69 posted from his trip. I visited the shady narrow back alley brothels behind the'Sovia hotel. I went there to see the talent, didn't partake. There were men standing at every entrance to street offered to take me inside. Even though the street and men looked bit rough, it was completely safe. Only one guy spoke decent English. The guy took me to at least four houses where 5-8 girls were waiting on customers. The price range was 300 K-600 K plus hotel room was 100 K. The girls or the place nowhere close to Classic or KI bars, but if you are stuck there and want to bang, and have no option, they are doable. Afterward, I spent a couple of hours at Braga Citywalk, had lunch at a corner bakery, took some photos, and caught the Whoosh train back to Jakarta. A political rally was happening in Bandung that day, so had to deal with road closures, traffic, and delays with Grab rides. That night I went to Mari Enjoy bar and took two girls at 300 K each. It's a hole in the wall bar with about 20 girls, 3-4 pretty ones. It has the neighborhood friendly vibe, I even enjoyed Karaoke with one girl before taking her upstairs. Both girls were GFF, DFK, gave me full attention for the entire house. I wanted to try another girl who was sitting in the corner with less interaction, but she was on her period, ended up talking about life for an hour on Google translate. The bar manager gave her number to reach out anytime and offered to send girls to my hotel for the night for 1 M.

Day 4 – I had a massage next door to Sparks Life hotel at Rasa Refleksi. It's completely a professional massage setup, offered in a hotel room, but on a massage table. It was 90 min for 250 K with no option to choose the therapist, I was assigned a mature woman. Other than some little teasing, no extra offered, but she didn't mind my groping of her ass either. I gave her 100 k tip. That evening, I hit Classic again and spent time with three different girls from different sections, the first two were young, new, submissive, and the last one was older thicker girl for a change.

Day 5 – On my last day, with an afternoon flight to Kuala Lumpur ahead, I decided to try Mustika massage that morning. It ended up being a real disappointment, compared to my previous experience during my last trip, where the therapist was amazing. This time, the girl was below average, lacked skill, and low interest for me to engage. Within the first 15 minutes, she asked if I wanted HJ, I categorically said no. I wanted my 90 min massage end sooner so I can leave, paid 150 K for the massage, and 50 k for the tip.

Overall, I had such a great time in Jakarta that I decided to cancel my Bali trip on the way back to spend more time here next week. I heard Bali offers a wonderful retreat, based on the reports and talking to others, it just doesn't have the same draw to meet girls, and pricier, fewer options, and quality isn't as high. I've seen enough to know Jakarta is the better choice, saving time, money, and effort by sticking around here.

If you use Schwab or Fidelity there aren't any conversion fees and there aren't any ATM fees either and fees charged by the ATM get reimbursed.

[Gabacho]

Any card like revolt wise etc lets you keep currency locally. So no conversion fees.
