Journey to Indonesia

sambil garuk kepale..mikirin ape yang mau di update kan...dan memikirkan betapa jerawat kian rancak melanda kini..haduss....


Alhamdullillah.....selamat sampai jugak akhirnya. Trip 8 hari, 7 malam di Jakarta-Bandung selamat segalanya. Walaupun terkena serangan light cherry-berry! (Version sopan nama panggilan cirit-birit) Phew...lucky it wasn't bad as my best friend's cherry-berry. My goodness. So lucky am I. Selamat semuanya di kamar kecil Bandara Soekarno Hatta Cangkareng Indonesia. Betul-betul sebelum naik flight balik ke KL. Hik hik hik.

The journey Jakarta-Bandung-Bandara Jakarta.
3 days in Jakarta, 4 days in Bandung and a day in Bandara! A whole night okay. Truly traveler!

Jakarta. Kami stay in Plaza Hotel,Mangga Dua. Which I simply can compare our hotel as hotel situated at Jalan Chow Kit, KL. He he he. Bukan hotel ber'star' hokeh. Tujuan utama memang mahu cut-cost! Yeah! Tetapi seperti ditipu pulak since the room been charge per head okay nit by room! Very unusual! Tapi, layankan aje. Bile nak check-out baru diberitahu yer. Sangat hampeh!

Words discribing Jakarta, hectic traffic jam 'macet' , panas, kotor, people pun quite aggressive.
Tetapi, you wouldn't worry anything about public transport. Believe it or not, we manage not to jump on a taxi (the famous taxi called Blue Bird)during the Jalan-Jalan and shopping sessions. BAGUS nya kami. You name it! segala kami udah dicoba.

[.] Angkutan - a modified old version MPV which can be loaded as much as 15 passenger per trip. Very cheap and reliable. Rate starts from Rp1000, and depend how far your destination


[.] Bajaj - pronounce as "budge-eye" aka tut tut. Be careful, they tend to overcharged you. I kena Rp2500 per head untuk jarak yang kami rasa amat tak patut punya harga! amat tidak puas hati. Dan teman I kena Rp10,000 per head hokey! sangat tipu. Serik tak mo naik dah!

[.] Busway - Concept like our LRT. Stopped at specific station. But it is in the form of BUS with it own pathway. Which no cars allowed to used the path. With Rp3500 per entry. Agak murah jika untuk jarak jauh travel

[.] Supir - Special ordered driver. Usually using MPV. Rate, kena pandai nego dengan supir as example, dari Bandung ke Bandara Jakarta we've been charged Rp850,000 per trip. Plus round-round the travelers spot in Bandung. Kira okay for tong-tong version of trip

The trick is, kalau sesat, tanya orang.Malu bertanya sesat jalan.
Dan kami memang tak malu, tapi masih sesat jalan jua.. Ha ha ha. Try as much as you can to cope the Indonesian language as they usually kindly hard to understand English Language. Even our Malay language heard awkward for them too. Sometimes, the way it spells is not as it pronounced! Sebagai contoh A&W outlets, they pronounce it as 'are-we'. Ho ho ho. Sangat janggal kan?

Kalau mahu naik public transport (excluding the metered taxi such as Blue Bird) try agreed the fees and charges before enter! Or else, they tend to overcharge you. Lagi-lagi they know you are foreigner! Hati-hati! Dan ringan-ringankanlah mulut untuk bertanya orang locals yer.

Dari Jakarta ke Bandung, kami naik Kereta api. Dengan Charge Rp55,000 per head. Dapat naik executive nye seat. Siap ade steward and stewardess gitu..Sangat selesa!

Di Bandung. Aman Nyaman. Seperti berada di Cameron / Genting Highland! Dingin dan segar cih...Sepanjang di Bandung, kami cuma menaiki Angkutan! Budget sungguh!


Okay, nanti bila senang I try update lagi journey to Indonesia kami.
To be honest, I tak rasa pun trip kali ni dikategorikan Sangat Seronok! Just so-so saje. Hampa kan? herm...
