Hi guys, here I want to share my experience about Jakarta and this is my honest opinion.

It isn't a bad thing, just honestly Jakarta was really fun for me and if I have a chance I want to come back, maybe because I am always interested about places that I've already been to.

But Jakarta isn't for those who want nature vibes, of course because it is a metropolitan city. And it isn't highly recommended to spend your holidays, as it isn't a right tourism spot. The only thing that I am curious about is "Kota Tua" ("Old City" in English) that is like the old building of Jakarta. I think the building has been there since before Indonesia got the independence. It looks so vintage, unique and mysterious in the same time, haha.

I've been three times in Jakarta and it is always the same: so crowded, traffic jams, giant buildings... but I have fun with that cause there's nothing like that in Bali, where I live, although sometimes there are traffic jams.

Jakarta has a lot of malls, starting from the expensive mall that I can't reach, the expensive mall that I still can reach, the ordinary mall, the cheap mall, the semi-market mall... until the market that looks like a mall haha. I'm not really sure about other places but for the first time I've seen 3 malls line up like we just need 3 minutes walking from mall A to mall B. Fantastic!
