I had a good sleep last night at Grand Perdana Wisata hotel, Bandung. so this morning on our second day in Indonesia we decided to go to Jakarta for 2 days. it took about 3 hours journey time from Bandung to Jakarta drive via the highway. the highway in Indonesia looks alike our highway back here in Malaysia. it made me felt like i was in Malaysia along the way to Jakarta.

after about 2 hours ride we stopped at the RnR station to go to the toilet, fill up our stomach and my mouth suddenly watering when i saw a stall selling 'Tahu Semedang Saribumi' (Semedang Saribumi deep fried beancurd/tofu with small chillies). it slightly salty but still i like the idea of eating beancurd together with chilies. hot yet tasty..
 |
| i personally like the word 'gratis' which means free |

Travelling around Jakarta was really stressful. The roads are congested with heavy traffic jam especially during peak hours, early morning and late evening. Moreover, Jakarta’s roads are notorious for undisciplined driver behaviour and breaking the transportation laws are common.
 |
| 'macet' (traffic jam) is everywhere in Jakarta |

we finally arrived at Jakarta around 11am. first we headed straight away to Mangga Dua and Tanah Abang shopping complex to shop. Yes it was a shopping spree trip so most of our time spent in the malls other than factory outlets..shop until we drop!

at the end of the day we checked-in at Orcharz Hotel, Jakarta which situated around 15 minutes walking distance from Mangga Dua mall but because of the 'macet' heavily during that night it took us around 45 minutes just to arrived at the hotel..
