Need a Sim Card
by cokes
I guess if you planning on buying a simcard for your mobile when you get to Indonesia I would recommend you buy the Simpati Telkomsel Simcard. When buying the card ask the person who is selling you the card to load the airtime for you as well. There is instruction on the card to loading airtime yourself so when you dial the number to load airtime you`ll find out its in Bahasa Indonesia. You can find the recharge vouchers anywhere.
Puncak Mountain Resort
by rmiya84778
Puncak is located outside of Jakarta in the mountains.
Many people go here to get away from the city .
Once you reach Puncak, you have choice of hiking through plantations, seeing nice floral/fauna and beautiful views of the surrounding mountains! This area has very special memories for me.
This is where my fiance and I had our first date together.

Play Basketball in Jakarta
by Yudhis
If you're looking for a streetball game of basketball where anyone can join the game, as long as you really Can play basket, just come to Senayan outdoor basketball court.
Located in front of the TVRI building, opposite taman ria (tgi fridays senayan). I'm playing weekly every wednesday night, from 8.30pm till about 11pm. We are a bunch of guys who love to play (but not too serious) game of basket.
There's one-two expat who play with us, just ask one of us if you want to join the game. The rule basically the same, normally the team who lost all been replace by the new ones. all you have to do is come with your basketball gear, smile and ask one of the player if you could join the game

If you just have short visiting in Jakarta and need some Indonesian souvenirs, you can buy them at Pasar Seni Ancol (north Jakarta), Pasaraya Blok M (south) or Sarinah (central). In Sarinah, you can find t-shirt about Jakarta with the landmarks.
+ Picture is about my room's wall-decoration, made-in Yogyakarta. The canvas is made from natural fiber sack which originally used for harvest by farmers.
ITC Mangga Dua
by kenningst about ITC Mangga Dua
This mall is really something. I am really amazed by the amount of stores/shops that they can squeeze into this mall. Its so packed that you will get into a human traffic jam almost at every turn. Its a very low end mall and the choices are galore but I am not really into really cheap stuffs so I just went in to enjoy the chaotic atmosphere.
