International Phone Calls
by traveldream
Normal
To make international phone calls from Jakarta from ordinary/fixed phones, you can easily dial 001 or 008 before the country code. 001 is operated by Telkom, and 008 by Indosat. There are also other prefix number(s), you can ask your hotel.
Budget
If you want to save more money, you can use an international calling card. There are many calling cards with slightly different tariff. Make sure you check the tariff for calls to the specific country before you buy the calling card. Remember to check if the tariff already includes 10% VAT. Some calling card companies include that, and some don't - which probably makes you feel a bit cheated.
If you will use the calling card from a mobile phone, make sure that it supports dialling from mobile phones before you buy it.
Where to buy: Phone cards booths/kiosks in shopping centres.

Women beware, the men will...

Women beware, the men will stare at you openly and will not be ashamed even if you let them know that you are not pleased that they are looking! So dress modestly or do not be surprised if you are stared at.

Common mall
by Sheemoz about Sogo
it's the asian most common shopping mall.. the most interesting thing for an architect like me its unique design and the good manner and of course the well decorative entrances and cafe's ...
The non stop shopping there is Sogo.. and guess what!!? good products and less prices than the standard !! .. if u want to buy such an electronic stuff or women sandals and shoes this is ur destination .. and also the jweleries r amazing... but the problem is if u wear M in ur country u'll find ur size is XL in this country .. they r realy small people .. Cutie :D as i 've said .. electronics ... also Bambo sitting sets and timber works.. some antiques .. and if u like PS or Xbox games like mee dont waste ur time... buy as mucha s u can .. the CDs are not original but they works pretty good.. also i advice women to buy Sandals from there... very unique designs and good quality.. what else? buy everything except clothes.. clothes r small here but everything either is good!
