Trolley at the airport
by cokes
When I landed at Soekarno Hatta Jakarta`s International Airport I wanted to get a trolley to put my luggage on just to find out all was taken up by some people who wanted to take your luggage for a fee. I could`nt find any trolley which I could use as I thought this really sucked as I did`nt need no one to push around my luggage , I`m alright doing it myself. So many guys all standing with trolleys thats not in use and they won`t part with it as if it was there`s.
One thing that I also didn`t like about this airport was that there was this crazy queue getting into the airport and everyone is rushing in not willing to give the next person the chance to go in. Everyone seems to be pushing all the time to squeeze in somewhere making double and triple queues.
Look at the caricaturists
by kokoryko
A Betawi (Jakartan) have since long a rebellious and critic tradition and you can see one of its expression on the street next to Gedung Kesenian in Central Jakarta. Oh, no you will not find here violent or acerb critics, but just some artistic painting, nice and interesting caricatures; there are about 20 artists working and exhibiting their works in small kiosks on the street side (picture 1).
You can watch them drawing and painting (picture 2), and if you do not know a lot about local political life, you can also discover some well known faces (picture 3).
There are different styles, some work on photographs, publicise (picture 4)? Other carefully paint, without noticing you (picture 5). It is nice to look at these paints, but except if you know well the local political social cultural and life, you may not be interested in this production.

plaza semanggi
by aalayaa about plaza semanggi
a new mall just opened about a couple years ago.
the place is near semanggi, a clover looks road from the 1960s. the ufo shape building (balai sarbini) in the middle is actually old but they make the around building lately to be plaza semanggi.
the place is close to office buildings so it's crowded during weekdays and weekends. you can find giant supermarket in the basement, cinema on the top floor, restaurants, karaoke place, bookshop, etc etc all kind of things
Walking: sport or shopping?
by Goldenboy about Mal Taman Anggrek
This dizzying mall is one of the biggest in South East Asia, located in west Jakarta. The upper floors are occupied by entertainment and food spots, including Olympic size ice skating rink, Cineplex, timezone, and Dapur Anggrek food court with various vendors. Within its bowls are more than 400 tenants and no less than 3 department stores: Rimo, Galeria Matahari and Metro. Some pretty affordable shops but still good quality, obviously the choice is good and often bewildering. Easy to get lost here, if you don’t know. Very popular with Chinese youngsters and also excellent for families with an active kids club. The mall is well managed and makes good use of space in the basement with regular family-oriented and promotional events. The choice of good places to eat is limited and on weekend its over crowded. Place to avoid on weekend for me.
