Jakarta

Well we have spent 5 days in the massive city of Jakarta.The first night we found a place to stay, dumped our bags and went for a wander down the street of Jalan Jaksa, a very popular street!  We went past a supermarket with seating outside and i heard my name called.  I turned to Andre to laugh and saw the dutch couple we hung out with in Bukit Lawang (orangutans) sitting outside the supermarket calling to us!  Only in a city of 12 million could we actually know someone aye!!!!  so they serve beer at the supermarket, so was lots of fun catching up with them!!!

 In Jakarta there are super malls and nightclubs.  We went to quite a few supermalls, but didn't buy anything!  They were massive, busy and confusing, but fun.

We went to the biggest club in Indonesia called the Stadium!  It was really cool, with dragons hanging off the walls etc!

We watched a guy hanging a new power cord onto the power lines on a bamboo ladder, with the steps way too big for little legs...

outside every place you eat, comes street entertainment

We went and saw the famous monument 137 metres high, but impossible to find the way in, even the locals seemed to have trouble so we just walked around it!

After that we wondered through a random market and found 'puppets'

Now leaving tomorrow morning for Bandung via train in executive class..........no idea what that means here!
