It all started when I booked my plane ticket and added Indonesian sites like Jakarta to my destinations on TB. Then I was sent a few welcome emails from Jakarta TB peeps, offering to help if needed when I visited. I told Rini if I could, it would be cool to meetup with some people an…

Today we got up at a half decent time and spent the better half of the morning getting caught up on our blogging and such before doing some more exploring of Jakarta. We decided to get our flights booked to go to Singapore since we weren’t really enjoying Jakarta as much as we thought we would so…

Rini (rintjez) sent me a request the other day telling me about a couple of photos she had had taken at a tribute to Queen Concert with some other TravBuddies members.  Someone had taken a couple of shots of her with band members but they came out very very dark.  So she remembered that I…

The idea of the trip came up when my good friend Bernard from Grenoble, France read my travel blog about Bali on TB and asked me to come along. Since I’ve been to Bali a few times, so I told him let’s combine with another city so we both can enjoy the trip. I wanted to see Borobodur in Yogy…

Terminal 3 is part of the Airport of Soekarno-Hatta. It is for the airlines of AirAsia and Mandala. I found the new terminal very different with the old one. The architecture and the interior of the new terminal is simple, clean, and modern. It is so "international". Only small, veeeery small…

After, you know...several days maybe weeks of preparation, finally we were ready to start the trip. We departed from Jakarta International Airport, Cengkareng (CGK) on Friday, 21st March, 2008.
