Fresh fruit...
by belgianchocolate
In front of the Kristal hotel and al over Jakarta you can find fruit stalls...
In januari these rambutans where all over the place. A friend where we where staying even had these in his garden. A large tree and the branches where getting heavy from this fruit.
They are sold in strings....a few twigs tied together. Rombutan : we can sometimes get them in Belgium , but they never taste as good as here. Juicy white flesh wrapped arround a pit. Family from the litchee.
will you abide by the sign?

yeah so narcotics are a bad idea wherever you go, ditto drugs, but I must say I found it a bit amusing to go to a club called "Stadium" where half of the patrons were swaying their noggins back and forth. must be the "e...," a big seller on the night scene.

Old ships or schooners of Sunda Kelapa Harbour
by rmiya84778
This location is where the Portuguese traded with the Hindu Kingdom of Pajajaran in the early 16th century. Dutch domination of Jakarta old fort and warehouses of the Dutch East India Company, can still be seen here. My fiance took me here to see the magnificent Makassar schooners (ships) that are still used today! We went through the entrance gate and slowly drove and watched people (workers) loading and unloading supplies. Very memorable sight. UPDATE:
I asked my fiance to take me here again when I returned in December 2003. Why? I wanted to take photos using my digital camera. The schooners are still used today for shipping items. On a busy day, you can see many workers loading and loading items for shiping or receiving. Not a modern facilty, I just like to see little bit of Indonesian history.
