Tanah Abang again
Today is my last day in Jakarta. Woke up as usual and took few pictures of sunrise. Not really amazing picture since the view is not that good. |
| Final sunrise in Jakarta... bye bye... |
This time around, I did not go to gym. Had packed all my things in the big bag and ready to go.
Had breakfast and took few pictures of my breakfast using my new HTC ONE S. Not promoting it but it is reliable phone :). After had my lunch, went to Tanah Abang using Bajak as I don't want to waste time (or get tired walking as need to travel back to Malaysia today :)). The same cost; that is Rp15k. But I learn that it should be cheaper which should be Rp10k only. Anyway, still fine to me (but actually should bargain for the price).
Just to share.. Tanah Abang and Tamrin City (or new place known as Mangga Dua) is equivalent to our Jalan TAR or Bazaar (in Penang) which the two places I can recall but in better condition. :)
Reach at Tanah Abang around 9am and not many shops are open yet. My target for today is just two jubah (but it is called something else and definitely not abaya) and kain sarung for men.
However, it turn out that I bought more than that ... hahaha... I have Tudung for my mom, wife, and my mother-in-law which cost me about Rp60k.
After wondering around and see more and more shops opened, I drop by at just opened shop-lot. There are two nice kain sarung. The actual cost was Rp60k. After bargain and she insist to sell (for good fortune @ barakah as first customer) I have it at Rp40k. The material is good :) and you won't get the same price here in Malaysia which in Malaysia around RM12 (for two) and it is impossible to get that price with that kind of material. I think, if I have money, I will definitely come there and buy lots of clothes to be sold at Malaysia :).
Then, went up and down (there are 6 floors) few times and stop by at a shops just near by the exit and finally got the jubah for Rp195k for two. The material is good but I can only get to reduce the price Rp45k. Should be able to reduce more if I buy at least 5. It is fine as the cost is still cheap (converted into RM will be around RM32/each.. in Malaysia you won't get the same price with even the cheapest material).
Then, took the ojak (a motorcycles that used as taxi ... for easy, faster, cheaper and short distance but a bit dangerous.. hehehehe) to Sarinah Mall (near to my hotel). The cost for it was Rp10k.
Final Check
Arrived at hotel around 10.15am. My team member went to Tanah Abang too.. I thought he already finished but ... hmmm... anyway, after arrange and pack all my things, went for good bathed (in warm water and stay for 15 minutes). It was good after that... really feel good.Around 11am, my team came back... done final check to ensure none of our belongings were left out. Around 11.15, we proceed to counter and check out. Bye bye Sari Pan Pacific.
Bye Bye Jakarta
We took taxi to the airport. By the way, if any of the reader of my blogs wishes to visit Jakarta, the taxi that you should choose is either Blue bird or Pustaka (from Blue bird group ... the color is blue) ... or Express (color is white). It cost us Rp120k from the hotel to airport.
For hotel, choose hotel that is either Sari Pan Pacific or near by (within Jalan Tamrin). Everything is near by here such as shopping mall, foods @ restaurant, etc.

| Waiting to board at Oldtown White Coffee @ Soekarno-Hatta Airport |
The counter opened at 12.45pm and the lady is 'wow' ... hehehe... she is lucky that I won't get angry to young and 'comel' lady... hehehe although she did another mistake when arranging my seat. I requested for next to window at exit door (for better view and ample space) but she gave me the middle seat and my colleague at window.. well at least we are in the same row. we can change that later :).

| The Ipoh Char Hor Fun.. My favorite dishes at Oldtown White Coffee |
After get our ticket and our luggage check-in, we have our lunch at OldTown Coffee House... I've my favorite, the Ipoh Char Hor Fun, bread n butter (but get kaya instead), and coffee and all of it cost me Rp90k. Still have money in Rupiah. Hmmm...
Went at the craft shops and bought few things... just to finish my money as I don't want to bring any Rupiah back to Malaysia.. not profitable doing that.
