Indonesia Trip

I went to Indonesia, Jakarta to be precise, last week. It was a business trip to meet our partners over there. The air there was horrible....lots of haze....came back with a huge cough and it hasn't let up since. I feel horrible and under weather today as i type this out.

Here's the link http://www.sunlakehotel.com/

Pardon the picture since its the banner for the website. Refer to the link if u wanna go to Jakarta. Great hotel.






I stayed at Sunlake Hotel and the rooms were huge....since the boss knew the manager we were given a special treat also :)


We met with some people in Jakarta....the restaurant i think was owned by a local chinese. Food was ok and not that bad....service and decor was lacking a bit though. Loads of flies hehehe !






Later i went and got some goodies in a mall called Artha Gading in Jakarta. Look at the picture and you can see the sky is horrid. Not a single cloud in the sky. Anyways, i got me a Reebok Pump Showstopper.

You know as a kid, the Reebok Pump was released in the end of the 80s and it was the bomb man ! But it was horridly expensive too. When i went to Jakarta 3 years back i had a ball of a time buying shoes, since they were made there for modular corporations, we got them nearly half the price off.

So this time was no exception, i scouted and i found the Reebok Pump Showstopper. Man....it was a sweet deal coming in at RM 150.00 it was a bargain. I bought it immediately and looked like an elephant with the pump on....hahahaha






According to my boss, J.Co is one of the best donuts but still pale in comparison to Krispy Kreme. There is a J.Co in Pavillion i heard.


Beard Papa Puff, it wasn't as nice as KL ones, since them puffs were crispy and hard. :)

Anyways.....if it was me....i ain't planning to stay in Indonesia at all....traffic is crappy, chinese food is so so, people are ok, but life overall is not good over there. The rich get richer and the poor get even worse.

Sigh....Malaysia is still the best !
