Pattaya vs. Jakarta prices
Comparing freelancers:
Normal in Pattaya would be 500 baht.
This equals about rp 150, 000
I paid rp300, 000 at top gun but don't know if this is high or low.
Also, spent some money on drinks in jakarta but not in Pattaya if you want to figure other expenses into the total cost.

Apartment rentals in Jakarta
I'll be coming to Jakarta for about a month in April. I often rent apartments for stays of two weeks or more, but have never done so in Jakarta before.
I've looked a bit on Craig's list, but didn't see anything too appealing.
My budget is $400-$800, and would of course need a GF apartment, furnished, and not 100 miles away from the action. Decent furnishings, cable TV and internet would be mighty nice, as well.
If anyone has any pointers, I'd appreciate it!
