DID YOU
KNOW?
“Jakarta is a fascinating city
because of its rich history
and lively people. With
superb cuisine and affordable
shopping, it makes for the
perfect vacation destination.”
“I love how Bali is so laid-
back and inviting that you
can easily lose yourself
watching the most orange
sunset while lounging at La
Plancha bar in Seminyak.”

One of the best places to dine in
Jakarta is Bebek Kaleyo (kaleyo.com). Try
the tender juicy
bebek muda
(fried young
duck) for only IDR22,500.
Visit Kota
Tua, Jakarta’s old town which, in the 16th
century, was dubbed the “Jewel of Asia” and
“Queen of the East”.
When shopping,
always haggle. There’s a bargain to be had
everywhere if you ask for it. Also, try to stay
off the roads during rush hour if you don’t
want to get stuck in traffic.
Check out Nusa Dua and drop by
Warung Bule and Susy for a hefty serving
of
nasi campur
(mixed rice) and fish curry
for IDR95,000.
Catch a breathtaking
sunrise 1,717m above sea level at the
summit of Mount Batur, a two-hour climb
in Kintamani.
Ask your hotel if they
can arrange scooter rentals. The best deal
we got was IDR50,000 per day with free
delivery, pick-up and a full tank!
