Grand Hyatt Jakarta

... been some intense times and difficulty in travelling due to the fact that you can NEVER get the truth out of someone. Everyone at the bus terminal has a different opinion as to what time the bus goes at, where from and the price. I've become extremely skeptical of anything the people say to me!! Which is awful because in the main, off the tourist trail they're lovely.

Well tomorrow it's off to Kuala Lumpur. Bring on hot water and hygiene standards!

... before we got on the train. Its easy to spend a lot of money on massages and facials. So for 4 massages, a facial and a padicure I spent less than 50 us dollars. Its addictive. We also hit Mungga Dua mall 3 different days, it would take about 10 days to go thru the entire mall, 10 full days. The first day we got there late and only had a little time to look around. The mall is about 8 stories tall and covers several blocks of land, sometimes you have ...

... gets even more dangerous. The MFin' buses. The best way to describe them, truly, death on wheels. When we arrived to our hotel, Yudi was cleaning the bike in the morning and the owner of the hotel talked with him a bit. Yudi told him that we rode in last night on our moped from Jakarta. He said we were very lucky. That is the most dangerous highway in all of Indonesia he said. Three people in two separate accidents died that day we came over. He said ...

Jakarta is the melting pot of every culture in Indonesia, plus the international side of it. Growing up in Jakarta, we have a long list of must-eat, so long it seems that five meals a day will not even make it. Padang food - the spicy and curry-based dishes from Sumatra is a must have. Our favourite has been Sederhana - a chain of humble place but great food at a fraction of 'lush' Padang resto such as Sari Ratu. Beef rendang (close to thai's masaman ...

... had piped Balinese music playing to put us in the mood. Everyone was hungry now, so we had to move off. Well, I did enjoy TMNI very much - would have liked more time = there was a castle, ships, church, mosque, temple. If only they put more signs I think it would be a much more worthwhile and informative trip. (Don't understand why Dr Uchok was so against it but then again he loves Las Vegas..) Lunch was at a Minang restaurant. We literally gobbled down the food. Gamaliel finished ...

Out of the need of getting rid from hectic life in the office jungle, me and Ruth escaped to Bali. We invited Dede who currently stay in Perth to join us. With a Karimun and very nice driver, we visited many places which had never been touched in our previous visits to Bali. We visited Dreamland Beach, GWK, Ubud, etc. Enjoy sea food candle light dinner ...

... striped corn plants. Like me, they have evaded the fate of office towers to run rampant and free. Some of the fruits we found included forest mangoes, as well as small half-eaten red fruits dropped from the trees by the monkeys, and red lotus-like flowers growing up in the trees that orangutans especially like. I was also surprised to find two kinds of fern just like those in our own rainforest of British Columbia--one, a swordleaf fern and ...
