Thats why you are so luck to come to Indonesia, because everything is really cheap. And if you give a tips to Porter, Waiter, or Housekeeper, you can give a tips from IDR 10.000 and above.

L&G we just passed Gapura Bali or Candi Bentar, this is a traditional gate from Bali, in Bali every home has Gapura in the front of their home, to show the expression of friendliness to the guest that enter their home. So Gapura Bali that we just passed by, is the gate of hospitality and shows that Jakarta people is a friendly and warm people.

L&G you also can see outside the bus, a big plantation swap area, name Sedyatmo Mangrove Eco Tourism. This 95,5 hectares is idea of Government with several purposes like. 1. Reducing Global Warming and Temperature. 2. Maintain the ecosystem of Jakarta bay, and etc.

L&G Indonesia is a Democratic and Republic Country leads by Mr. SBY as President, and Mr. Boediyono as Vice-President. It has about 237,5 million people that makes Indonesia become 4^th nation with the highest population after China, India, USA , Indonesia also has about 17.580 islands, about 700 local languages, and 1000 local ethnics.Thats why Indonesia is really diverse, and has a slogan “Bhinekka Tunggal Ika” , that means Unity In Diversity, so we are One even we are different. Indonesia also has 5 religions acknowledge by the Government, there are Islam, Christian, Catholic, Hinduism, and Buddhism. The majority religion is Islam, that’s why you will easily find women wearing veil or hijab, and you also can hear Adzan or prayer calling in certain time, particulary in Friday afternoon, you wil hear that all mosque will have an Adzan to call all male Moslem to pray.

L&G because the majority religion is Islam and Indonesia located in the Eastern Part, here are some suggestions to you. 1. If you want to give or take something, please use your right hand, 2. Avoid to touch other people head, 3. If u pass other people you can say “Excuse Me”, 4. Dont show to much intimate or nudity in the front of public, 5. Please wearing an appropriate clothes, 6. And dont wear to much jewelry.

L&G Jakarta has over than 5000 schools that makes Jakarta center of education, Merdeka Palace where President Stay, Parliament Building, Embassies and other Gov. building also located in Jakarta makes Jakarta center of Government, and Jakarta also a center of Politic, Economy, Fashion, etc. Jakarta covers an area about 650 km2, that consist of 5 municipalities and 1 regency, There are Central Jakarta also known as a center of Gov. South Jakarta also known as center of residence. North, East, West Jakarta known as center of Business and Industry, and the last is Kepulauan Seribu or Thousand Island known because of the beauty fulness of Islands.

L&G Jakarta also has an interesting population, because in day Jakarta has over than 15 million people, but in night Jakarta has 12 million people, there are 3 million gap, because there are a lot of people that come from outskirt area move to Jakarta in day to go for work and study. Traffic jam is a common common thing, but it also shows Jakarta is a developing city with a fast economic growth.

L&G the temperature outside the bus is about 33oC, the humidity level is also about 60-73 , and Indonesia has 2 seasons, Rainy season falls from Oct to March, Dry season falls from April to Sep, and right now Jakarta is in a rainy season, so it is important for you to bring umbrella wherever you go, using comfortable clothes, and you also can use sunblock, why? Because the temperature in Jakarta is pretty unpredictable, it can be so shiny at a time, and just in moment it could turn to be a cloudy day.

L&G we already entering Sudirman Street, and you can see on this side Senayan Sport Center, with Bung Karno Stadium as an icon, this place also initially built to become place of Sea Games 1962, and yesterday is a closing ceremony of Sea Games 2011, that's why you can see a lot of Sea Games flag. And you can see on this side icon of Sea Games 2011, named Modo-Modi, that inspired by one of the most famous animal in Indonesia which is KOMODO.

L&G Jakarta is crowded with a lot of vehicle, like other city in Jakarta you can see Bus (air conditioned, or no air-conditioned), Taxi (Normal or Low Fare), but Jakarta has a modern vehicle, it was start to introduce by our former Government Mr. Sutiyoso on 2004, named Transjakarta, now Transjakarta has 10 corridors that conect almost every part in Jakarta. The price of the ticket is really cheap , from 5-7 a.m. It just IDR 2.000, and from 7-midnight it become IDR 3.500, if you are going to travel by your self you should take this type of transportation, because its more comfortable, cheaper, safer, and faster.

L&G besides the modern, jakarta also has a traditional vehicle, named Bajaj. Thank God I bring the miniature of bajaj, because it's really hard to find this vehicle in this area. This is Bajaj, an orange vehicle, that can contain 3 persons, 1 person as a driver, and 2 persons as passengers. You will get a new experience if you take this vehicle, if u take car or bus the sound of engine will be like this “nnnnnnnnnnn”, but if you take bajaj, and you're going to sit, the abang2 or driver will turn on the machine, and the sensations will be like this “det det det”, it will be shaking and trembling until you reach your destination. And if you take this transportation you should bargain, so if you have a good skill to bargain I do believe that you will get a good price.

L&G here is some tips if u want to bargain, if abang2 or driver said that the price is IDR 10.000, you can start from the half of the price, and you will have a transaction until you get the deal. And if abang2 or driver refuse you, you can pretend like you want to take other bajaj, I Believe, the first driver will call you back.

L&G you can see on this side, BNI 46 Building, the highest building in Indonesia that has 262 m in height, and it also become one of a Jakarta icon.

L&G in just about 5 minutes we will reach Hotel Indonesia Kempinski that located in Roundabout of Hotel Indonesia, this place is really strategic, you can take Transjakarta in the front of Hotel and you can see a great view from your balcony, and please prepare your self, make sure all the travel document already collected and hold by the Tour Leader. And check all your personal belongings.

Before L&G you can see on this side first Selamat Datang or Welcome Statue, that heading to the west, this statue is to welcome Sea Games Player 1962, and still stand until now to welcome all people that come to Jakarta especially all of you.

L&G we are entering the gate of Hotel Indonesia Kempinski, once again please prepare yourselves, you can directly go to the lobby Hotel and enjoy the very fresh welcome drink, all the baggage will be handle by the porter. Me and the tour leader will handle your check-in procedures in the front desk. Please step carefully, mind your head and mind your step.
