 Starbucks: part of Jakartans'
growing cafe culture by latte18
Busy, young professionals have also taken up this lifestyle, although they tend to hang out in trendy cafes while sipping their lattes to unwind with their friends after a long day's work. Leave a Comment

ondel-ondel - part of the
Betawi culture by latte18
Thumbs up to the local government who urge the preservation of the Betawi culture. Condet, an area in South East Jakarta has been designated as the center for the preservation of the Betawi culture.
The Betawis has a very rich culture and is reflected through many art forms such as the Tari Topeng (Mask Dance), Ondel-Ondel (three-meter tall masked puppet), and the Lenong Betawi (comedy play) to name a few. These and other Betawi arts make frequent appearance in many Jakarta's celebration. Leave a Comment

 Istiqlal mosque - SE Asia's
biggest by latte18
There are tons of mosques in Jakarta, tucked in every corner of the city, but other worship places are abundant. Churces in different sizes and styles for Catholics and Protestants alike, Hindu temples, Bhuddist's Vihara, even traditional Chinese worship places.
Although the recent crisis brought rifts and frictions to the harmonious condition of Indonesians' religious life, Jakartans can still practice their religions fairly peacefully. This is witnessed in the celebration of Christmas or Chinese New Year, which in recent years were celebrated as vibrant as the Lebaran, the biggest Muslim holiday.
The harmony in Jakartans' religious life can be seen from the location of the biggest mosque and church in the city. Istiqlal, southeast asia's biggest mosque, is located in a complex just across from the Catholic Cathedral. Moreover, during Christmas Eve Mass, worshippers can park their cars on the Mosque's parking lot and vice versa during the Lebaran. Leave a Comment

My fondest memory of Jakarta is a matter strictly between me and my confessor.
My second fondest memory of Jakarta involves roaming the traditional markets and neighborhoods well away from areas where 'bules' (local slang term for light-skinned foreigners) would normally be expected. Even in a big city, Indonesians are very friendly, gracious people. It will add tremendously to your experience if you can speak the language. If you can't, get a local guide/translator and head for the 'kampung' (village, but in the context of Jakarta, traditional neighborhood). Leave a Comment
