Exploring Jakarta Solo | Culture Shock, Local Food + Best Neighborhoods

It's strange that Jakarta isn't that well visited by tourists compared to other parts of Indonesia. Thus I decided to start my trip here and see what this mega city had to offer! Join me on a tour of some of the most popular neighborhoods of the city, as well some of my first impressions of the city since there was definitely some culture shock going on. Jakarta is a melting pot of different cultures and lifestyles so I would absolutely recommend putting it on your list of must sees when visiting Indonesia!

I use both of these companies depending on the destination and requirements of entry. If you are going to be abroad for a long time and/or don't need as much coverage, I would recommend SafetyWing. BUT you cannot purchase SafetyWing WHILE in Canada or USA. You can only purchase once already abroad. Hey Mondo is more expensive but offers a higher level of coverage including plans that have trip cancellation/interruption insurance. Hey Mondo would be the better insurance to use if you need travel medical insurance when applying for a visa. Both companies cover covid.

In Indonesia the spoon is supposed to act like a knife while you hold the meat with the fork. The reason behind this is that we don't have many big chewy food like steak where you have to really use a knife for it. If we do have to eat something chewy in our food it's usually already pre cut into bite sized pieces where the knife would be then unecessary to use. For more complicated foods like crabs we just wash our hands thoroughly first and use them instead. This is how i as an Indonesian would understand it. Have fun exploring Indonesia!

[@AlinaMcleod]

Thanks for explaining!

[@Mobilagend]

@@AlinaMcleod if you want to travel in the Jakarta area, it is better to know the best places that have been built by the Indonesian government, because the capital city of Indonesia is very wide divided into several places

[@Mobilagend]

@@AlinaMcleod And if you want to travel nature in Indonesia, many of the best places are in the JAWWA archipelago, if you want to see Indonesia's paradise in Bali and on other islands,

[@Mobilagend]

@@AlinaMcleod If you're in Jakarta, don't forget to visit pantai indah kapuk , There are many interesting places like China town, LA RIVIERA

As a Jakarta citizen, I met a lot of foreigners either in my office or other casual days. So I would to confirm it's NOT because of rare foreigners that makes people stare you. But because you are gorgeous. ❤️

[@nickandhelmi]

[@remixnation6272]

Oh btw the Central park mall in Jakarta is one of my favorites in Asia

[@Ncvl7]

Wow, You’re the real traveller!! Not many tourists go to Jakarta

[@canadagood]

Thanks for showing me the parts of Jakarta that I've never seen. Menteng and Tanah Abang are the financial high-rise capital of Indonesia and so unlike the rest of the country. In the center of big cities like Bandung or Jogjakarta the tallest buildings are a dozen stories and there are just a handful of those. You are always going to be noticed and stared at in Indonesia but don't take it for unfriendliness. Everywhere I went people asked personal questions and, of course, everyone wanted to get a selfie with me. The spoon and fork thing is also common in other parts of SE Asia. Your meal had a lot of protein: fried egg and bakso and chicken. Much more common would rice and vegies and one type of meat.

[@sandaljepit9987]

Mantap

[@charlylydianie1231]

Not Menteng & Tanah Abang FYI!..But Thamrin - Sudirman Avenue with long more 4 kms square, Mega Kuningan CBD, Sudirman CBD, Rasuna Epicentrum at Rasuna, Gatot Soebroto Avenue and MT. Haryono Avenue with more 4 kms square also, S. Parman Avenue with 1,5 kms square, PIK 1/2 CBD at North Jakarta and Tangerang-Banten Surabaya has more skyscrapers but not as many as Jakarta also Medan, Batam,Balikpapan and Makassara well, Bandung and Yogyakarta can not have many bcoz both city have tectonic and vulcanic earthquake potentials I believe, CMIIWW

Good to know that you like Jakarta, I appreciate how you started your vid with the historical background of Jakarta, and you have already visited those main landmarks, try also MRT one day, it is now expanded to the north until the old town, currently under construction. What you ate in Bakso Lapangan Tembak (my favorite eating place) was fried rice, famous Indonesian dish, and those in the avocado juice is brown sugar, not chocolate, We rarely use knife, only spoon and fork because we rarely eat meat😅 just kidding, but this is our normal daily practice, we sometimes just use our fingers!. Look forward to your next video exploring more about Jakarta.. safe travel and keep healthy.

[@eg9051]

Hi Alina, spoon and fork are utensils that we use mainly almost in every corner here in Indonesia if you go to a local restaurant, even for some western fast food brands, apart of course from restaurants that serve western food. If you wonder how do we slice a meat let say, is by using spoon.

[@ediantok2922]

Hi Alina.. just know your channel now. Nice to see u. Welcome to INDONESIA !! The beautiful archipelago country. I like your video. It was great. Hopefully you enjoy in Jakarta now. If you feel like the city of business, busy, crowded city, this city jakarta maybe suitable with you. But if you like culture you can visit Jogja and Bali. If you visit Jogja dont forget to visit Semarang and Solo. They have many good view, culture and traditional various food as well. I live in Semarang and many people call little of netherlands, because we have old city and many dutch building here. All of this city in Central Java, except Bali. The weather in Indonesia always hot or warm, it was really different with canada. I have been in vancouver as well and for indonesian the weather in there is hot but freezy even the summer season. And about the knife, I think only the western restaurant or who serve the steak will bring with knife.. But if you want you can ask a knife to them. It is Indonesia.,,hohoho.

Go to south Jakarta, especially kemang (you might find a lot of foreign tourists) pondok indah and gandaria. To the north there is taman impian jaya ancol, and also new satellite city called pantai indah kapuk (reclamation island) there's alot kind of food over there.

[@rafamartinoo]

Welcome to Indonesia! Indonesian in Canada here :) 1) Spoon n fork situation: since most of the meals contain rice, we’re using spoon to scoop em easier.. (also if you’re right handed, spoon is on the right, fork is to help you pushing the food to the spoon). 2) Locals staring: yup indeed, we’re still lacking foreign tourists (especially in non-downtown/ central Jakarta area). But the locals are suuuper kind! Don’t hesitate to ask for help or say hello to them. Google translate might help breaking the barrier as well :) Enjoy the rest of your stay! Will follow your next vids!

Thank you for visiting Indonesia and for this very well made video! I am Chinese Indonesian who has not been to Jakarta for the longest time. The last time I went home and walked around a lot, I was also stared on. So yes, being a non- Indonesian will attract more attention,but also the fact that you walk around is also not something most people would do. And you’re spot on, what you wear also matter. Aside from religion and being conservative aside, Indonesians wear more layers/ non skimpy clothes also due to how we try our best not to get tanned from the harsh equatorial sun in Indonesia. Look forward to watch more of your contents!
