Here are my tips in brief:
1. Stay in Central Jakarta.
2. Use public transport
3. Go shopping in the malls
4. Eat the street food
5. Traffic can be bad
6. Do research online first
7. Dress modestly
8. Ask the price
9. Get out of the city
10. The people are extremely friendly
11. Download grab and GoJek apps

I would suggest to use an e-wallet rather than cash because almost all places in jakarta is accepting a cashless payment(even on the side of the road) and there is a lot of cashbacks and promos to save your money!

I recommend coming to Sukabumi, it is close to Jakarta, 200 km / 4 hours. Sukabumi has beautiful nature (there is a geopark). searching in youtube about Sukabumi.

1. Took grab/gojek to go around. 2. I rarely bring cash, e-wallet all the time. 3. Manage a clear and strict itinerary , and check the operating hours for some places. Some of them require booking or online registration before hand. 4. Visit places and eat at places which are highly recommended by locals.

The best district is south jakarta.. The food is cheaper, The air is good less pollution, Lots of greenery, The mall is more huge and more best item sell in south jakarta's mall, Lots of Fancy Restaurant and hang out area. Before Covid South is the best night life and the best place for night club, Top notch.. And lots of expat live there so you can mingle with other expat as well.

First time commenter here. If you want to visit Jakarta as a tourist then yes, Jakarta Tengah is the place to be. But if you want to graduate from the tourist level and try to live as a local, then I encourage you to stay in Jakarta Selatan (South Jakarta).

Some day if you visit Bandung, i recomended go to "Saung Angklung Ujo". Angklung is traditional instrument from sundanese. Angklung made from bamboo and that sound very uniq. Beside angklung instrument you can learn see wayang golek. Wayang golek is traditional puppet from west java.

Janet!! What great feedbacks and tips for those who haven't visited Jakarta!! Being born and growing up there, it does make me miss being there!! Esp the amazing foods!! 👍😍 However, was wondering about the safety in Jakarta knowing how huge the city / the region is!! Did you feel SAFE the whole time being in Jakarta?? Even though people were super friendly to you and always try to help you out in anyway they could... As an ex- Jakartan, 😉🤗 it seems you didn't get a chance to experience long enough in South Jakarta (where I grew up). To the best of my knowledge, it is the greenest, easy to go around, tons of AMAZING street foods to try, and (maybe half?) a place of where expatriates live. Pondok Indah Mall is where I used to hang out. Oh Em Gee!! How much I miss Blok M shopping center too!! 😢 .... btw, ANOTHER great video, Janet!! Very useful to those who haven't visited Jakarta and surrounding areas! 👍👍.. Salam Kenal untuk kamu, dan Tetap Sehat, Janet!! 🙏😊

Hi Janet. I am a solo female American expat in Vietnam. I discovered you through your Taxco video. I really enjoy your content. I am reaching out to you because you seem in the know and you seem like someone who would be kind enough to share information. I am planning to come to Bali sometime in July or August. There's a bit of an exodus from Vietnam right now due to the change in Visa policies during the current lockdown...and I have to leave. Can you recommend a trustworthy visa agent and also an inexpensive hotel with a covid package? I would greatly appreciate it. Would love to meet up in Bali if you're around. Thanks.

jakarta has LRT too but u didnt go to east jakarta KRL is actually the metrosystem like MRT , u can go to 478 km away to around jakarta and surrounding city so by KRL u will save alot of time, for example from east jakarta to the west or south jakarta to the north only takes 20 minutes contrary by car /road that can be two hours to go to Bandung and other cities, u can catch long distance train
