Jakarta is on the island of Java and is the capital city of Indonesia (an archipelago of about 14,000 islands with Java being the main island).

As a capital city it is very noisy, busy, dirty and exciting. There are quite a few things to do in Jakarta, whether you are there working or playing. The majority of past times however, seem to include drinking copious amounts of alcohol and crawling from one bar or club to another.

If you idea of fun is not suffering from a permanent hangover, you may want to try some of the other past times, such as shopping at any one of the big shopping complexes (Blok M, the Hilton, etc) or try visiting Indonesia’s answer to Sea World or Taman Mini (Indonesia in miniature).

This city is well worth seeing, and is constantly changing so it’s different from one year to the next. However, I would only recommend this as a stop off to break a long journey, or a shopping trip before going on somewhere quite to relax......
