Jakarta

[QUOTE=Socrates69]... Relatively speaking, a couple blocks south from there (Malioboro), you could have gotten full service HJ, BJ, sex all in for 140-150k with a girl in her early 20s.[/QUOTE]
I'm guessing that you mistyped your directions and that you really mean "north" or "west" instead of "south."

If one travels two blocks north from the Hotel Malioboro, one will find Kartika, Berlian, Stadium, etc. although it will cost more than the 140-150k rupiah mentioned.

If one travels a few blocks west, there's a street that Oyenk has written about on several occasions (can't remember the name) which features several MPs where the prices are closer to the 140-150k rupiah mentioned.

However, if one travels "a couple blocks south" one will encounter the National Museum, the Presidential Palace, etc.

Another possibility South of Malioboro is of course the Cideng/Tanah Abang area, though it's more than a couple of blocks away. I've never done any mongering there, but I know it's possible. What I remember reading here is that in the Tanah Abang area you can find cheap fux.

Hi Spearsman, fortunately I have very good directional sense so no I did not mistype my directions. :)

By the way, Siera use to be around that price range before it got 'net' exposure. Interestingly, I've noticed that there is a quite a contrast between places that have been exposed and ones that haven't. For the latter, same cheap prices, great attitudes/service oriented, photo friendlier-the word 'internet' still isn't in their vocab, and less stds exposure thus no issues with bb....yet.

[QUOTE=Menteng]Now you make me/us curious! Any details like address and/or name of the place?[/QUOTE]I've got the address but would prefer to pm you guys the info once I get that set up on my account.

I know I should post this on the "other areas" thread but it's dead as a doornail so I will abuse my senior member privileges and post here, well it is related to Jakarta so it's not completely out of place.

Anyway I recently enjoyed the company of a lovely young lady down from Banda Acheh who was on secondment to her consultancy firm here in Jakarta for a couple of weeks. A very nice girl she was though she dressed a bit primly, wore those rather dowdy glasses and looked like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth. I eventually persuaded her to spend a free afternoon with me in a hotel room and with hindsight I can see that she really didn't take much persuasion.

During a three hour session which drained me in more ways than one I was extremely surprised by her, well how should I describe it, yes professionalism. She used quite a number of tricks that seemed rather out of place coming from such an innocent looking lady and are frankly only learned by women who are in the game long term. Intrigued, I gently questioned her about her past (I don't normally do that as I really couldn't care less but I was interested in seeing if my suspicions about her were correct) and she did confirm that she might have had maybe one or two liaisons with foreign guys (NGO types I suspect up there) in Banda Acheh. I was slightly surprised as I assumed such activity was a big no-no in that area. She told me that the Hermes Hotel was ok for that sort of thing.

So I was wondering if anyone who has knowledge of Banda Acheh could confirm my hunch that the "scene" in that town might well centre on the Hermes Hotel and that my Goody Two-Shoes friend may only be acting under cover. Don't worry I'm not one of these eejits who meets a girl in the Nana Hotel disco and then pleads with people to convince him that she really was only visiting there to meet a friend, I don't give a damn if she's a player but I'm just wickedly curious to see if I have stumbled on a hidden gem in north Sumatra.

I might even go up to check it out, if they're all like her up there then it would be paradise on earth, don't know if I could do without the booze though.

First of all, thanks to all senior members:

This site is a mine of informations!

Next month I will come back to Jakarta, and I have a few questions and suggestions.

Last time I found an hotel in Mangga Besar, a convenient place, and I want to return ther. The area is messy, expecially at night, but not dangerous. Lokasari Plaza is a place where a man can find everything he needs, between a fuck and one other. There is an internet point, a travel agent (for domestic only), a good rate moneychanger, a barber shop (not so good), and a lot of restaurants (indonesian, Chinese, fastfood). All on a short street!

How is the situation now in TC? I read of police raids, at the end of last year, and now? How is the quality of girls in what was once considered the best venue in the pacific rim?

And it's a long time since I don't read here abourt mall hunting. As I'll stay in North Jakarta, I will try Mangga Dua Mall, for shopping and for hunting, then I will write a report. Anyone knows how is that mall?

One more question: where can I find non-pro students? As I like to spend my time with a nice girl, not only fuk&go.

Now it's my turn for suggestions:

Don't't change your money at the first moneychangers in the arrivals area of the airport: to find better rates (5. 8 % more) go to the moneychangers in departures lounge, just 1 floor upstairs the arrivals.

When you arrive, confused and jetlagged, avoid a sticky man offering taxi: he wears a badge with written "Silvera", but he is not one of the staff of Silverbird service (which is a good company). Just look for a meter taxi and don't pay more than the toll-highway fare. If you go North Jakarta, you can chose Prinsen Park for 200'000rp or Olympic for a little more.

Use ATM's. There are some in the arrival hall. Avoids bringing money that might be stolen or exchanged at a lousy rate.

I too often wonder why anyone would use money changers when you can get the local currency out of a hole in the wall 24 hours a day.

[QUOTE=Dorman]I too often wonder why anyone would use money changers when you can get the local currency out of a hole in the wall 24 hours a day.[/QUOTE]Except, this is a shit third world country with ATMs at airports often out of money! So, change a small amount, like $10 or $20 just for cab fares. Better to lose a few points to money changers than have cabbies not take your USD, and give change. Though they'll gladly take the rounded up $10 or $20. Cabbies are the scumbags of the earth, and the worst of them prey on fresh meat at airport and terminal arrivals.

I did some research on the place about a year ago and it didn't look good, perhaps it has improved. Here is what I remember.

After the tsunami destroyed the area, loads of girls turned to prostitution in way of hanging out at the local park in local neighborhoods. Banda Aceh is also where sharia law is heavily enforced and an italian ngo was recently arrested for having sex with a local girl (maybe Hi fiance) he had been dating for 2-3 years. Women in banda aceh are caned in public for engaging in sex with a foreigner. THey also enforce wearing the head scarf. The locals there are so into busting people in the act they even snuck into ngo camps looking of people having sex with local or drinking alcohol. Yes, did I mention, drinking is not allowed.

"Corporal punishment is carried out in Aceh for crimes including the sale or consumption of alcohol, gambling or meeting a person of the opposite sex, that is not your husband, wife or family member, in a private place. "

If you do decide to check it out, airasia flies there from KL. you have to get a visa in KL as I don't believe they have visa on arrival in banda, but don't quote me on that.

No more mamasans in tc, selection variable, but way below it's heyday. Price still 200 (100 to hotel and 100 to girl). May negotiate for cheaper rate. Saw a few bules agreeing to opening bids of 300-400 (probably not including the room), so be prepared for ridiculous price quotes, but stick to your guns (walk if you have to) and you can establish a good rate that'll apply to all the gals in there.

There are uni students avaliable in central, and south central Jakarta. Can't remember the name of the mall where lots are found but it's next to a street scene that's near a culster of discos/brothals. I've got to dig up the info. In the meantime, some taxi drivers may be able to help you.

I have never been dissapointed at Jakarta International airport. Maybe because various banks have an ATM there. I think you're somewhat prejudiced.

I get money from those machines every time I arrive in Jakarta (which is often). I can't remember them ever being out of money. What I don't like is that it's difficult to find one that gives 100,000 bills. And then, they have a max of 2,000,000 rupiah, sometimes even a max of 1,200,000. That means I have to visit the atm at least every couple of days.

Have no experience with big capital Jakarta, only holes in the wall at Medan. Well, actually two standalone booths, both dry. Outside by the touts and taxis.

You know you can take out multiple transactions from the same ATM if it has a lower limit such as rp1.2 mio? Most US issued credit cards have a $500 or $1000 per day limit so you can do 4 x rp1.5 mio with no problems.
