Dead Karet, Suspect Bongkaran, discovery continues
Had a great night with a tinder girl, very down to earth and the conversation led to local knock-shops of Bongkaran and Karet. Clearly she was about 5 or more years behind the reality, she probably thinks Kalijodo still exists. Hell she knew so much, she probably worked there.
So feeling a little bit curious to see if she was accurate, I decided to check out Karet and Bongkaran at night, well just as the sun went down.
Karet station, on the Ciliwung river side, has no action. Long gone and a pathway joining Karet to Sudirman is under construction, I remember a time in 2012 when if one stayed at a north room in the Shangrila, you could see the steady stream of motorbikes and blue tents serving customers. All completely gone now. Not a park like Kalijodo yet, but just like any other crappy canal pathway.
Bongkaran, I never visited previously, as I understand it, it sat on the train lines on the south east side side of Tanah Abang station. According to the media the lokalisasi was bulldozed and stopped operating in 2017.
Well I found myself walking through a gang on the train line, what is without doubt the most depressive gang I've ever been to, bascially right on the train line south of tanah abang stn. Gang has hundreds of single rooms which back onto the rail line, and community bathrooms and lots of people looking depressed lazing about. There was definately action, I was propositioned a few times, but the crowd and the location, was seriously depressing and a tad scary. Not sure if the propositions were opportunist or a real mongering venue.
There is no doubt as a local you can find some short term romance, but I got to say the vibe was very wrong and its the only lokalisasi in Indonesia I have felt unsafe so far.
My limited bahasa usually gets me by with a smile and a laugh, but not many laughs going on here. Wallet positioned in the front jeans pocket and a smile and I made it out.
Anyway, just a little update FWIW of what I found less than 1 km from Grand Indonesia.
Due too my curiosity of meandering around kamungs, canals, train tracks, I goto some very poor places and never feel threatened. But the spidey sense was well and truly working overtime there.
Boring update I know, just planning to find some more remote places to report back on.
Is Mall Atrium, Jatinegara, and the streets behind Blokm worth a visit these days, anyone care to comment?
Future trips, Priok (open invite with a regular poster. You know who you are) , Muwardi, Jl raya Daan Mogot.
Hooker Night at the North Korean Embassy
Just when you think that there's nothing further to add.
It was Saturday night and I was on my way home in a taxi, weaving through the streets from Bundaran HI on the way to Jl. Imam Bonjol.
You know the neighborhood: a bunch of richy rich gated mansions, a few embassies, no foot traffic, no cars and nary a motorcycle.
Night filled the wide vessel of the universe.
We're thirty meters before the North Korean embassy by Jl Latuhahary. Out of a random gang appears two busty lasses in satiny microdresses and stiletto heels. Streetwalkers!
They smiled at me as the taxi passed. We wheeled around a curve and there were another two beauties, smiling, shouting and waving wildly for me to stop.
As a mathematical genius, I can add 2+2. We were kinda / sorta close to the railroad tracks and the open air disco populated favored by waria.
I know, I'm sorry. I didn't stop to make sure. But I'll ask the ambassador next time I meet him at Lotte Shopping Avenue.

First visit to Jakarta from Jan 30 to Feb 4
Hi friends, I am back today morning after my first 5 days visit to Jakarta. I met with one working lady and one girl who is about to start her job in Jakarta. VIsited all floors in classic, went to the'Heaven in Kelap Gading. Visited Travel, Colosseum club. Went to Bandung for one night. Last two nights stayed in BFashion hotel west Jakarta. As seniors said everything is spread out in Jakarta. Need five or six visits for me to explore places as I won't be able to stay more than 4 days. Missed Blok M,Kotah Indah etcetc. Will again come on March end and the place belongs to my kind of action. Excellent experience except one incident. When I am back from CJ bar with my working girfriend police stopped the car and asked to lower the glass. Said tourist inside. The lady with me told them we are coming after a conference. I showed the passport copy. They let us go. She was dressed in her office dress. I was thinking about giving 100 k to police as we discussed in the forum.
Detailed reports of each days will follows. Now I have to finish the work pooled in 5 days in my office.
Long live mongers.
Regards.
