Jakarta

[QUOTE=Cucumber;2700721]I have formed the impression that around 300 k is a standard tip that will be considered decent[/QUOTE]Back in the day when Geylang in Singapore was alive and kicking, Indo FLs and the Thai houses started a dual pricing system, where bules had to pay double that of mongers of Asian descent. This was a result of too many bules tipping huge amounts and feeling guilt and that they need to act as the Red Cross.

If Indonesia is on the radar of 2-week millionaires or becomes the next Thailand, this will happen.

[QUOTE=RedRobin3092;2698062]Can somebody confirm if BATS is back to normal? How is the scene? Do they still have ladies nights on Wednesdays? Planning to visit next month.[/QUOTE]BATS is the best pickup in Jakarta as on date. The selection is pretty good on all days of the week. The going rate is 1 million IDR for 1 shot and 2 million for the night + taxi.

[QUOTE=Zanny;2700046]I've seen a lot of comments lately, people asking for basic info of where to find the women, where to find the spas, etc.

I have created a very handy map, having done a lot of research before my trip to Jakarta for the first time, next week.

Hello Boys,

Has anyone been to Halomas recently? How about Kartika and Berlian in the notorious Swiss Bakery ally? If so, please provide any details you can regarding hours of operation, prices, and general quality of service.

Many thanks!

Hello,

If you know Indonesia and the Philippines well, I would like to ask 2 questions:

1) Filipinas or Indonesians love sex more. How do they behave in bed?

2) I don't like bar or night clubs and I don't like pro girls. I'm old but in good shape. I'd like to contact a regular nice girl online and to stay with her for full time in my rented apartment in Jakarta for one week. I'd like to get a GF experience, therefore we will go to some restaurants too, to night clubs too, to cook together in apartment too.

If I want to give her a cash gift, how much money can I give her for one week?

Many thanks![/QUOTE]I was in that alley, I mentioned it in my trip report. That trip report lives in a certain forum about Pattaya (where I type this from now) in the "rest of the world" area. Don't think I'd be allowed to post the link here, so you have to do some digging. I extensively report on Jakarta from my trip last week.

Regarding the alley, only one place looked open, at 11 am, Royal Mas, from Google Street View: [URL]https://www.google.com/maps/@-6.1505794[/URL], 106.8175296,3 a,61.1 y,113.91 h,79.22 t / data=!3 m6!1 e1!3 m4!1 sXaaUbulfyV1 V_qXFlBVs5 A!2 e0!7 i16384!8 i8192.

Nothing else looked open, the alley was quite dead, I felt like a big target in this small alley, and I felt it better to bounce. So I went down the road to Kimochi Mabes.

Happy to see my Jakarta Monger's map is popular with the fellas on this forum. It only had a small amount of views, now it's in the threads of distinction, well over 3000 views: [URL]https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?hl=en&mid=1M1JL4NkmeHJ-Yi0rRrTQcaCpxXq4bSbw&ll=-6.146481575251801%2C106.81144570000001&z=14[/URL].

This forum sure is quiet!

Guys,

I want to visit Indonesia in mid November. However, I am struggling to decide either to visit Jakarta or Bali.

Unfortunately, I won't manage to visit both places. I plan to stay for two weeks.

Can I ask, which place is easier to access for a first time visitor?

Any suggestions and help is highly appreciated!

If you are coming as a tourist you will get very bored very quickly in Jakarta as there is bugger all to do apart from eat, drink, f*&k, repeat. Jakarta is fine if you are coming for work and want to have fun in the evening, but two weeks as a tourist. That would probably test even the most hardened monger. At least Bali has actual touristy things to do for a bit of a break, even if it's just to get out and walk about, and hopefully by November should be well on the way to recovering it's Mojo as far as girls go.

Any suggestions and help is highly appreciated![/QUOTE]Jakarta; many more girls and locations at all price points; no real central red light district or one stop shop and insane traffic meaning you can be driving for hours per day going from one option to another; little or no English at low end places; if your presentable, many freebies / GFEs available; foreigners are still a novelty in many areas so many girls who will offer to be a tour guide plus plus.

Bali: lots of action within walking distance of the tourist areas or girls who will come to you; girls are use to newbie tourists so action is typically very professional and uninspiring; generally very little GFE; like for like, tourist prices are 50% higher for poorer service; availability of mega hot Instagram models with prices and attitudes to match; lots of places to take a favoured girl for a few days or weekend; if your presentable, don't rule out local or foreign backpacker freebies.

Many would argue that the best option is to combine the two and offer a week's holiday to a girl in Jakarta and import her into Bali. Flights are cheap, you will get much better service levels and many girls would jump at the opportunity for minimal spending money. Obviously, you need to be confident in your choice.

Good luck. G.
