Java

Java Indonesia: Jakarta.

Jakarta

This is where I flew into. This is where I spent a few days.

Not a lot to recommend it.

Hotel was alright, comfortable. The rest was pretty boring. Even though 1 day was a national holiday, 4 days was more than enough to see it all.

Still, I didn’t come here to look at the cities. Glad to get out.

Here’s a breakdown of some costs:

  • Accommodation: £172 – 4 days
  • Food & meals: £8-12 day. Decent restaurants.
  • Beer: £3-5 a bottle.
  • Travel: £4 for 4 days bus travel
  • Onward travel: £42 flight to Bali.
  • Cinema ticket: £1.32.
  • Airport bus: £3.80.
  • Airport taxi: £16.

All bus travel is cashless, apart from the airport bus, which is 20% the cost of a taxi and takes the same time.

Buses run across the city.

Oxfordshire to Indonesia

Quick change of scenery. 28 hours door to door.

  • Car – Souldern to Oxford Parkway 40m
  • Train/Underground – Oxford Parkway to Terminal 4 Heathrow 3hrs
  • Flight – London to Jakarta 22hrs
    • Visa and Taxi To Hotel – 2hrs

Feeling a bit lagged now on day 2. Hence I’m writing the blog so I don’t have to go anywhere.

I’m going to do an installation for each stop rather than do one every day. I’ve got another 2 days here in Jakarta.

Here’s some pics from the travel.
