      I would suggest to use an e-wallet rather than cash because almost all places in jakarta is accepting a cashless payment(even on the side of the road) and there is a lot of cashbacks and promos to save your money!

      I recommend coming to Sukabumi, it is close to Jakarta, 200 km / 4 hours. Sukabumi has beautiful nature (there is a geopark). searching in youtube about Sukabumi.

      1. Took grab/gojek to go around.
      2. I rarely bring cash, e-wallet all the time.
      3. Manage a clear and strict itinerary , and check the operating hours for some places. Some of them require booking or online registration before hand.
      4. Visit places and eat at places which are highly recommended by locals.

    The best district is south jakarta.. The food is cheaper, The air is good less pollution, Lots of greenery, The mall is more huge and more best item sell in south jakarta's mall, Lots of Fancy Restaurant and hang out area. Before Covid South is the best night life and the best place for night club, Top notch.. And lots of expat live there so you can mingle with other expat as well.

    Janet!! What great feedbacks and tips for those who haven't visited Jakarta!! Being born and growing up there, it does make me miss being there!! Esp the amazing foods!! 👍😍 However, was wondering about the safety in Jakarta knowing how huge the city / the region is!! Did you feel SAFE the whole time being in Jakarta?? Even though people were super friendly to you and always try to help you out in anyway they could...
    As an ex- Jakartan, 😉🤗 it seems you didn't get a chance to experience long enough in South Jakarta (where I grew up). To the best of my knowledge, it is the greenest, easy to go around, tons of AMAZING street foods to try, and (maybe half?) a place of where expatriates live. Pondok Indah Mall is where I used to hang out. Oh Em Gee!! How much I miss Blok M shopping center too!! 😢 .... btw, ANOTHER great video, Janet!! Very useful to those who haven't visited Jakarta and surrounding areas! 👍👍.. Salam Kenal untuk kamu, dan Tetap Sehat, Janet!! 🙏😊

I am reaching out to you because you seem in the know and you seem like someone who would be kind enough to share information. I am planning to come to Bali sometime in July or August. There's a bit of an exodus from Vietnam right now due to the change in Visa policies during the current lockdown...and I have to leave. Can you recommend a trustworthy visa agent and also an inexpensive hotel with a covid package? I would greatly appreciate it. Would love to meet up in Bali if you're around. Thanks.

    to go to Bandung and other cities, u can catch long distance train
