Post Jakarta

Rainbow,

I have a 'to-do-list' in my hand now. My flight to Jakarta is in less than 24 hours and there are mountains of errands to run.

a) Buy contact lenses
b) Get my sunglasses (which I left it at my Jay Bee's home)
c) Change currency
d) Get cab/human to send us to the bus station
e) Buy aero-bus tickets
f) some more???? oh yeah, sun block!

One of my students just called to cancel her extra class today, which means I have and must complete my list. Plus, I need to collect my company's trip gifts tomorrow. The whole morning till afternoon is taken. Few places to 'lari' before attending an Olay's event at Carcosa Hotel before heading to C's house. All these really stress me out abit.

The thing is, why Jakarta out of so many South East Asia countries to visit? Well, since C's friend is working in Jakarta's HP company, so just treat it like visiting a friend and the Island. Generating Indonesia's economy by shopping is also part of the plan, no doubt. Plus point, we might as well take a train from Gambir to Bandung to continue the shopping saga. In order to keep the plan flows well, I have decided to wear less (since we're buying, right), put most of my skincare products into smaller containers and carry many empty bags - you know what I mean.

When I travel, local cuisine is a must-haves. How can I say I've been to Jakarta when I don't even know what's the tradition foods are? Like in Malaysia, you have the home grown 'nasi lemak', Singapore, you have the 'singapore laksa', or Japan, you have the 'really raw sushi'.

Tips from me when I travel - drink h20, eat alot and remember to have some fruits!

Hello Kitty to represent Japan, Hibiscus to represent Malaysia and Batik to show Indonesia. I wonder what I will buy back? Tonnes of affortable panties, bras, dvds, BATIK??? Well, will wait for it.. *grin sheepishly*

Time to leave the office and get my list completed. Will blog once I reach Malaysia and not forgetting photos.
