Living like a local in Jakarta 🇮🇩 NOT what you'd expect!

Welcome to Jakarta! The capital city of one of my favourite countries in the world.. Indonesia.
We start the vlog having a wander around the local area of Cepete in the south of the city before making our way into the the centre of Menteng. We go for food and drinks, use the MRT, take a stroll around the national monument before finishing with a tuk tuk (Baji) ride.
Hope you enjoy the video and subscribe to see part two of our day around Jakarta. On the next video we visit Kota Tua, the harbour and end in Jakarta's Chinatown.
Wander well my friends..

No.... Na-ah.... I don't encourage foreigners to live in Indonesia, go prosper your own country, dear foreigner. We have enough foreigner already here, and many of them only cause chaos, spread immorality, and destroy local tradition....

[@cworldwanderer]

It's funny, wherever you go in the world, there are people with this thinking. Currently in the UK there are a lot of people with your view. I understand you want to keep your culture and tradition, that's great. People like me will live in your country and respect it. You can't just say no foreigners. People are people at the end of the day. Some good, some bad but skin colour or nationality has nothing to do with it in my opinion.

You should cross the road at the MRT station. It has a bridge crossing. After leaving the MRT you should've walked north. You walked south. Talk about going the long way around. 😅I think you mean ketopkrak, food similar to gado-gado.its more polite to give and take things with your right hand.😊 It's not a tuk-tuk it's a Bajaj. Said "Bajay". Sorry to give you so many corrections.. 🙏

The weather in Jakarta is quiet hot either for me, evenso I am an Indonesian. I'm living in Bogor, the city located at southern area around 60km from the centre of Jakarta with a lot of greeneries and mountain, So being in Jakarta makes my body sweat so much. I hope you still enjoy your trip in Indonesia, because the tropical heat may makes you exhausting.

[@cworldwanderer]

Yes it's a bit different from the UK 😅 I get used to it after a while, I'll have to go to Bogor at some point, would be nice to see the scenery

Apart from Bali 😅 I think Indonesia's visa laws are probably the reason why foreigners are more likely to settle in neighbouring countries. Understandable with the size of your population in Jawa though. Maybe Indonesia could offer an easier working visa for foreigners to live in your new capital, Nusantara to help with growth.

Order gojek bike better than tuktuk/bajaj

[@cworldwanderer]

It was more for the experience, I like taking Bajaj, but some of these guys would be better off taking less money and more jobs than trying to overcharge people. You're right though, gojek, etc. Is better, but it would be a shame to lose the bajaj, it's part of your culture.
