Hello! My mother and I will be visting Indonesia in June/July. We'll be in Bali first then make our way to the mainlaind. Outside of the 2 travelling days (arrival/departure), we'll have 9 full days for the mainland. I'm thinking of just doing Jakarta and Yogyakarta because my mum is in her 70s and we prefer not to have to travel every few days but we also don't want to stay in 1 spot if there's not much to do there. Do you think these 2 places are good for 9 days or would have any other recommendations? Thank you.

Hello. I'm flying right now out of Jakarta to Sydney via Qantas. They had a bag shake down right at the boarding door. So any water you bought in the terminal had to be thrown away. Is this all international departing or just a Qantas thing? I had a similar experience flying Philippine Airlines Manila to Los Angeles, in that case I did not have that issue flying Manila to Seul or Taiwan via Korea Air and Eva Air. The later two didn't have the mini extra bag check for liquid. I have also flown Medan to Singapore and didn't have this via batik air.

I've looked in vain all over the internet for information on this - I'm contemplating purchasing a ticket on Lion Air but it involves connecting from 1 Lion Air flight to another with a 2 hour layover.

SInce it's all on the same airline, when I check in, will my checked luggage be tagged all the way through or do I need to collect my luggage after my first leg and recheck it in for my 2nd leg?

There's information about Lion Air Thailand now checking in luggage all the way through as long as your Lion Air flights are on 1 ticket but nothing about Lion Air Indonesia.

Grateful for any advise you can offer ..... besides not taking Lion Air :)

Hello. I've been doing some reading and narrowed down a refrigerator to Sharp or Panasonic. They are both Japanese brands and made here in Indonesia. Both are right at 5 million idr. Any idea what has the best quality?

Hey all, I will be traveling with my friends to Indonesia next month. Specifically to Jakarta, Yogyakarta and Surabaya.

Our sightseeing and touristy plans are all set, just wanted to know if there are any shopping hotspots or must visit markets in Jakarta. Just looking for some casual street shopping like clothes, shoes, bags etc. Nothing specific!

Would love to hear any experiences!

Anyone got any recommendations on a jakarta sim card I can use that has at least 80GB of data per month that I can have delivered to rhe UK before I come?

Thanks I'd appreciate it.

Hi Jakarta crew. I’m a bule food vlogger and I recently made a video ’Top 10 Restaurants Jakarta’. I actually got some great help from the Reddit Jakarta community to help me choose some restaurants. Anyway, the video was popular and I got lots of comments from locals regarding their favourite restaurants. So I thought I’d make another video ‘Top 10 Restaurants (As requested by you) Jakarta’

So I need your help again please 🙏🏼

There’s over 30 restaurants that have been recommended so need your advice on what should definitely make the list. Probably I will only have time to visit 12 or 13 of them to choose the top 10 from. My other consideration is that I want the restaurants to be diverse and representing different parts of Indo food culture, so ideally it won’t just be a bunch of minang restaurants or something like that. Anyway, I hope that makes sense. Thankyou in advance to anyone who helps, I gave you a shoutout in the last video and it’s closing in on 40k views. Anyway, here’s the list:

Lapo Porsea (Batak) x2 Bebek Bumbu hitam Madura Tinoor (menadonese) Noesaka Gulai Singkong Rawon Tungjang Pea Adhita Jaya (Balinese) Nasi Uduk Mas Dikun Ketoprak ciragil Pelangi seafood Layar Marpadotbe (Batak) Ayam Goreng Suharti (fried chicken) Sate khas Senayan Ayam Gepuk pak Gembus Pagi Sore (Minang) Bakso rusuk Samanhudi Bebek Kaleyo Bakmi GM Bandar djakarta Cabe ijo Ayam goreng suharti Sari Indah (Minang) Marco (Padang) Bale Lombok Wiro Sableng Gardens x2 Bumbu Den (Menadonese) 212 Kelapa Gading (seafood)

x2 means it was recommended twice. Really looks like some amazing food in there but I want the list to really resonate with the locals, probably sate Khas Senayan and Pagi sore won’t make the cut.

Here’s a link to the previous video:

Hello fellow redditors of Indonesia.

First and foremost, I am asking on behalf of a friend and only have a vague understanding of Indonesian labor laws. Please forgive my lack of knowledge regarding this matter!

My friend recently had a job interview where the potential employer stated that she would have to commit to staying for at least three years. However, my friend wants to emigrate back to Europe, where we first met, and doesn't want to stay in Indonesia for that long. According to my research and what she told me, if she decides to terminate the contract early, she may be obligated to pay her employer for the remaining months from the date she terminates until the contract is set to end.

Despite this, I've come across many people on Reddit discussing their experiences in Indonesia, stating that they've successfully terminated contracts early and changed jobs.

My question is: Is it truly legal for my friend to be required to stay with her employer (or to incur debt) for the duration specified in the contract? I ask this because I am aware that in other countries, employers include similar clauses in job contracts but cannot enforce them legally.

Thank you in advance!

Hi guys,

I am currently selling my Alienware M15 R6 Intel i7 laptop include with the Alienware Mouse, Alienware Bag, and a Razer Headphone. All in IDR 25 Million. The guarantee is still active for a year. I bought this laptop through Dell Official store and its still provides a home call service.

If you’re interested you can send me a DM and we talk there.

I live at Jakarta Pusat area so if you want to meet and see the laptop directly, I am fine with that.

Thank you 😊

My girlfriend and I recently moved to Jakarta and are eager to explore the city's offerings. We're looking for recommendations for one-on-one and group classes in the following: * Muay Thai * Tennis * Swimming * Bahasa Indonesian * Western Music (Vocals and Piano) * Personal Training

Any recommendations for skilled trainers or coaches, and ballpark rates, would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

So, today I am having a transit through Soekarno Hatta on my way to Jogja. My full transit is actually Athens-Doha-Jakarta-Jogja. Despite the assurances of the flight companies (Qatar from Athens to Doha and Garuda moving forward), after I checked in my luggage in Athens airport with the assurance I will pick them up in Jogja, the Qatar people called my name and told me that my luggage cannot move beyond Jakarta, and that I will have to pick them up, pass customs and then recheck. All that with a transit of 2.15 hours. Some local people I cooperate in Indonesia hired someone to pick me up, which hopefully will work, although not without a lot of stress.

My questions, however, is on my return, which has me from Jogja to Jakarta with Garuda and Jakarta to Jeddah with Saudia (one ticket) will I need to pick up my bags and recheck again? Because the transit is similar once more, 2 hours and 20 minutes. I hope someone can help

Halo. I have decided to enjoy the fireworks in Bundaran HI for New Year's Eve, as a visitor, may I know:

• is this a ticketing event? or public is allowed to join on first come first serve basis for better view?
• for the ease of transport, which hotel/area should i stay to get in before the event and get out after the event?
• any other tips?

Dont tell to stay at MO, GH or Pullman. Theyre all over my budget. Im taking AirAsia after all 🤣 Terima kasih

Hi, I'm going to Tangerang near Christmas day to attend family event, visit Bogor and back to Jakarta before New Year, so I have around 2-3 free day in Jakarta before fly back to my origin.
I will stay in Pullman Jakarta and planned to visit BXSea with my family, my questions are:
- Does BXSea really worth the hype?
- Could you please suggest a good tennis court that not really crowded near my place?
- Nice and cozy cafe for dining with my husband or any hidden gems in Central Jakarta?
- Can I use BNI Tapcash instead of Jaklingko Card for MRT?

Additional info: I am an omnivore. I eat halal and non-halal foods.
I have done the research but still need advise from Jakartans :D
Thank you in advance!

Jadi karena satu dan lain hal gw terburu" dan conciously ambil jalur busway (I know, I have no excuse), apesnya di penghujung jalurnya ternyata ada coklat yg menunggu dan gw memilih untuk "damai" titip tilang di tempat secara informal.

A few weeks later, gw dapet surat tilang ETLE dikirim ke rumah dan diminta bayar denda tilangnya, obviously karena gw damai informal sebelumnya I have no way/ proof to argue against it.

I'm not here to justify my wrongdoing, I'm actually quite impressed with the ETLE process, just a reminder that next time kalau kena tilang, consider this possibility sebelum consider "damai".

Hi everyone, I will be visiting Jakarta in December and I'm looking to buy some T-shirts from this local brand called Jackersfield (https://jackersfield.com/). I think they used to be called Jackhammer & Co a few years back.

Does anyone know which malls or shops carry this brand? Would like to find brick and mortar stores as I prefer to try the fitting of the T-shirts in stores. Thanks in advance!

Hi. I’ll be visiting Jakarta in December and my plan is to leave on Jan 29 to Bandung by train then the Dieng Plateau for a few days by bus, and on to Yogya arriving there around January 3. Will this be a peak time for domestic tourists though? Do many Indonesians travel over the new year? Will it be hard to get hotel rooms and transport if I haven’t booked? If possible I would like to be flexible and not book too much in advance, so just wondering if that is suitable for this particular time of year. Thanks!

Hello everyone! I’m visiting Jakarta end of the month after a longgggg time and I’m wanting to find batik tulis / vintage batik pieces and lace to make kebayas.

Could someone kindly point me in the right direction if there’s a specific street/place/shop that would have them? Thank you so much!

Hello and thank you for answering my questions so far. So I will be arriving in Jogjakarta from Jakarta (trip starts in Greece actually) with a Visa i got beforehand. Do I need to fill any other forms for entry? Beforehand or upon arrival?

Also I am planning to buy a local SIM. Any suggestions on the company? Is there a procedure to do so or do I just buy one and insert in my phone? Do the employees usually help you with the setup?

What are the best places (malls, outdoor bazaars) to shop at preferably near Thamrin in the city? Also are there any good places to buy designer dupes like Bali? What are other places to visit to explore the nightlife? Terima kasih!
