Hi bro
Change in Singapore is for the most part better.
But if you are going to be in Indonesia, then Jakarta would be better than Jogja.
Most of the banks are about the same all over Indonesia.
Hope that could help.

My humble two cents.

Thanks for the advice! Any recommended place to exchange S$ to lDR? My hotel recommends changing direct from bank, but not sure if the rate be good.

Change your cash in jakarta can get bigger better rates. But please do change at a bigger chain money changers as there have been cases of fake money.

So far from what I know the best rate money changer in Jakarta :
VIP money changer
Jln Menteng Raya 23, Jakarta Pusat

And you can check exchange rate through their phone : +6221-31907777

I changed mine at ITC Kuningan. Its on the 1st floor and is located just before BCA Bank Kuningan Branch. There are 2 money changers on the 1st floor, you can check which gives the better rate before you change. Both are trustworthy and but sometimes their rate may differs from 10 - 20 points.

it seems that you get better rates at airport money changers (other than the bank ones) than batam....i was surprised when i changed there...any comments..i checked with some of the small changers in town..they offered lousy rates...

Went to Maliobord hotel spa today and heres my FR:

reach at 830 as i looking forward to the pool striptease. but when reach there, its almost over. was told that the 2 timings are now: 6 to 630 and 8 to 830. So for those who wish to soak in pool and see naked gers, do take note of the new timing.

then proceed to lounge for dinner. got approached by the strip gers and agreed to buy a lady a shot. could be due to the fast tempo music and too much focus on her boobs, in 10min, she took 8 shots. she requested for 2 more to make it 10, but i kindly reject her.

End of the evening with a massage. quite funny, theres a panda massage and i was wondering what is panda massage. then was told that it refers to massage by china lady. took the local massage for 200k and the massage by the indonesia ger was good. a panda massage cost 300k. btw, do the massage gers provide hj? she didnt initiate so i dint ask.

overall, quite a interesting experience. damage was 820k but sadly, no shot for me.... haha!

5 Things You Will Love About Nightlife in Jakarta

Those who had the chance to party in Jakarta will understand in no time why Jakarta’s nightlife is often referred to as “Asia’s best kept secret”. Few people imagine how active the nightlife can be here, in the most populous Muslim nation in the world. Jakarta100bars.com is currently writing a guide of nightlife in Asia, and as we are progressing, we are realizing that for all of us, the city that has the best nightlife in Asia is Jakarta. Here is a list of the 5 things that make us love it here:

The diversity
The 12th largest city in the world, Jakarta is the capital of a huge archipelago of over 17,000 islands. As a consequence, the megalopolis is home to a lot of diversity, with various influences and cultures. Add to that a strong Chinese community, over 100,000 expatriates, and a youth that has studied all over the globe (the owner of Dragonfly for instance studied in Boston), and you will get a cosmopolitan town that never sleeps.

Jakarta has everything, and it is very often better than elsewhere: Luxurious bars in Jakarta are more luxurious than the ones in Singapore. Chinese mega-clubs in Jakarta are bigger than the ones in Shanghai. Expat bars in Jakarta have nicer expats than the ones in Bangkok… And so on. I think that if you take a look at the bars presented in our blog, it will give you a good idea of what's available here. Some suggestions for the lazy (click on the link to read the article): Live music, salsa dancing, arab joints, jazz clubs, Reggae & Blues bars, house music nightclubs, one-stop entertainment, international DJ stars, intimate venues, metal & hardcore, dangdut, karaoke, striptease, massage parlours, expat bars, sports bars, gay clubs, Japanese salons, backpackers bar and even some unclassifiable curiosities!
The freedom
There are a lot less rules in Indonesia as opposed to Europe, especially if you are a foreigner and if you have money. In general, many problems find solutions quickly here. You never wonder in Jakarta whether or not you will be able to enter a club or not. You just put a shirt and a jean and that’s fine. If you are a smoker, Jakarta will be your heaven: Smoking is very common everywhere and actually, in some clubs there is so much smoke that breathing is smoking. If you are drunk, you don’t need to worry about drunk-driving as there are many taxis available quickly. If you choose to drive, you won't fear the cops: Rp.50,000 and you will get away with almost anything. The cheap cost of living also gives you more freedom since you don’t have to care that much about the prices of the drinks and the cover charges, except in the luxurious places of course. The town is also paradoxical: Even though Indonesians are conservative, Jakarta has hundreds of massage parlours, karaokes and clubs where drugs are available very easily. In that case, beware of the apparent freedom, because a night out could easily end as a nightmare.

Indonesians
Foreigners usually imagine that Asians are shy, or don’t know how to party. This couldn’t be more false: Jakartans are great party-goers who love to dance and get wild. And the best thing with it is that they want to share it with others: No matter in which club you are, you will always find someone to talk to, and it is quite common to be invited to a table of people you don’t know and share a bottle with them. Indonesians will never make you feel unwelcomed and will be very curious to discuss with you if they can. Don’t miss this opportunity to socialize with people from different backgrounds and even do some networking… Girls are usually very friendly too, even those who belong to high-class society. All you need to do is to be very respectful and not behave as if all of them were prostitutes or “easy women”.
Bar-hopping
What I really love when partying is moving from bars to bars and change atmosphere a few times during the night. To go from classy hotel bars to huge mega-clubs and finish in a small bar singing karaoke, without any hassle and no queues. In Jakarta, there are so many places, usually within a short distance, that bar-hopping is just awesome. Cover charges are usually pretty low or inexistent and queues are very rare so you won’t lose any time going from place to place. If you navigate with a taxi, you won’t have any difficulties to get one and the traffic at night is usually pretty good.

The opening hours
In Jakarta, if you come on a Friday night, you can actually party non-stop until Monday morning, and I’m not kidding. All you need to have is a good knowledge of which clubs open when. If you hate the frustration of having to go home at midnight or 1AM in other Asian cities, you will love Jakarta. That is why planning a week-end of party in Jakarta can be so exhausting. Certainly, these are also the best.

What about you? What do you think of the nightlife here? Is there something special about Jakarta according to you? Drop a few words, we are curious to know what you think!


Enjoy.

My humble two cents.

Grat info bro! Thanks!

Again I'm repeating this for the sake of safety & to avoid being conned by this con artist;

I'm so glad you pointed out to me & all forumers that you're on Moderation as I had forgotten the Mods need to moderate your postings before approving of your postings! Guys you decide whom you wish to believe ??? Con Man with negative (-) 129 points or Seniors with many years on the forum, well respected & above all +points! It shows who you should trust & whom you shouldn't!!! The Mods are doing thier job to protect the forum from such con man & let's keep it safe! I agree that the choice is yours to partake or to avoid but do think twice becoz your action may result in not only lost of hard earned $ from being conned to not only pay above market prices based on past FRs but more importantly would you trust your safety to a proven FAKER/PROVEN MULTIPLE NICKS/PROFILE/THREAT ISSUER TO INNOCENT PARTIES/PROVEN ABUSER OF SAM'S forum??? I definatly WONT!

A word of caution if you noticed by now this is a thread started by aakumu to promote an agent which i believe it's him personally based on the manner of his/agent/clone's posting & several mistakes including postings @ http://sammyboyforum.shop/showpos...postcount=1283 whereby he forgotten he's using aakumu nick and made a mistake & posted this & since he's under moderation for his many errors he tried to do some whitewashing by coming back with the following post @ http://sammyboyforum.shop/showpos...postcount=1284 . He is a proven FAKER/PROVEN MULTIPLE NICKS/PROFILE/THREAT ISSUER TO INNOCENT PARTIES/PROVEN ABUSER OF SAM'S forum!!!

Be very cautious when reading postings or recommendations from this thread as it could be him/his clones (proven @ http://sammyboyforum.shop/showpos...&postcount=341 ) only to promote his fake services & be WARNED guys just imagine if you take his tour & he doesn't like your face = you may end up in BIG TROUBLE instead of being assisted! I WOULD STAY AWAY FROM THIS CON MAN SERVICES! Please read the links to judge what kind of a pretender he is! Please feel free to contact seniors with reputable points for verification instead of those with immense negative points!

The constant postings by me is because he has issued physical threats to the other tour agent even though he wasn't involved in this as a few seniors started questioning him as to why he posted a FR which was copied & edited & posted as his own! Reference of a senior who caught his mistake @ http://sammyboyforum.shop/showpos...&postcount=207. Please visit the other Jakarta thread for a non commercial@ http://sammyboyforum.shop/showthread.php?t=113 & you may save yourself from being cheated & abused physically by this conman if he doesn't like you! I will continue to protect innocent fellow SBF members from this dangerous person!
