I arrived in Jakarta, Indonesia about 9 pm on 13/12/2008. Me and Damon was picked up by Soenaryo (the bride) with his Audi A6, his car is very luxurious, I wish I had one in the future. We had dinner in the FX Mall, this is a new mall in Jakarta and we celebrated Christmas the next day on 19/12/2008, celebrating one week in advance, awesome!

Almost every meal was paid for by my good pals in Jakarta. I would like to sincerely thank all of them for providing a tour and all the good food. Whilst I do enjoy Indonesian food, a point to note that the food was very salty either from using too much MSG or salt. As such, it's advisable to drink plenty of water to prevent ulcers from appearing in one's mouth or tongue.
Please stay tuned for Jakarta trip part 2 entries whereby there will be more photos, more pretty girls but no more photos of delicious food.
