after the disappointment by Da Nang i booked a flight to leave vietnam. i probably shouldn't have rushed that much and just stayed in HCMC for a bit again because i know that's better, but now it is what it is.

i just arrived in jakarta and the change is quite the cultural shock.

it's super difficult to just walk the city, apparently not intended by the creators. i was walking around quite long just trying to find an atm and some food and it was just annoying and took forever.

they don't have the street food culture at all here. all the so called street food i saw was disgusting junk smouldering in the sun, sold by a tiny stand immediately next to busy main roads. like centimeters away from the cars.

proper food is just inside some malls or whatever skyscraper shit with annoying security check.

again no coke zero available in the restaurant (no wonder people get fat).

hotels cost twice as much for the same standard as in da nang.

i'm drowning in likes on dating apps but most of them are chubby pancake faces with towels wrapped around.

i hope will find some love for the city in the coming days.

there are some positive sides as well though like the immigration was way faster and much more efficient than in vietnam. also finally i don't have to listen to non-stop honking traffic anymore. vietnamese are really retarded in some regards.

lmaooo grass ain’t always greener

meetup with @biggunsar

he’s the garrison commander of geomaxxing headquarters for that country
 
from the very little research ive done it's one of the biggest cities in the world, and the experience you will have depends a lot on the area

a bit like in manila, where you can find a few good areas with malls, walkability and easy life, but most of the city you wouldn't want to explore because it lacks infra and entertainment
 
this a place place i really want to know more about , fuck all normies go here(which is a good thing) which means you might be one of a very few westerners here in such a massive city, which should increase your chances of getting girls with less competition to worry about. I reckon the big problem though is that their Muslim and probability too conservative

muslim dont' mean shit, it's not the middle east

completely different mind set. (you realise muslim women in the middle east do NOT walk around alone)
In indo they are completely different. Like this the west, but more conservative. If you see a girl wearing slutty clothes. SHE is indeed a slut. The girls here, think showing belly is a "big deal". They rarely wear tight clothes. It's modest, but they like to fuck. if that makes sense.

they are much much much more modern. But being muslim is indoctrinated HEAVY in schools. So i have seen whores, still do ramadan. And being a whore is haram (forbidden) but because they are modern. They allow for excuses. Same with the rest of the religion for indos.

I really don't date jilbobbers. (thats' what most people call them, the ones that wear the scarves on their heads)

but in jakarta they are the most chill. half the girls dont'wear jilbobs, those are the ones i beeline for. "well hello thar, my name is andrew" kinda dealio.

there are over 32 million people in jakarta. 290 million people in the entire country
there is tons of pussy here.

jakarta south is normie
jakarta north is not normie
east and west is becoming the super rare normie places.
jakarta is so massive i have come to accept it is basically 4 cities in one. its' so massive you could be in the middle and take binoculars on a 30th floor apartment. and for as far as the binoculars can see. its' nothing but city. Only city bigger is tokyo.

I'm not going for them either. Also they are all searching for longterm / marriage.

I stay in a shitty hotel in central for the weekend to get an overview. but it's not really helping.

Next week i have to work. Until then i need to find a proper place to stay at least for a week.

Not sure where, everything seems far away from everything. My online matches are scattered all over the city. South, east, west, bekasi, depok.

It's a logistical nightmare.

Apparently Java is the world's most populous island. That's fucking insane! More people than the entire island of Honshu! By 50%!

I'm curious what you mean by "normie", do you mean the girls are normie? As in not jilbobbers and therefore normie is good?
 
Just spotted some small street food area with tiny Restaurants near my place.

I asked for the menu, they guy didn't understand me despite me gesturing. His colleagues grasped what i meant and gave a menu to me. Insects were crawling on it. i couldn't understand a word.

No fridge visible. Food rotting in the sun with flies on it.

I didn't dare to try it just after my stomach recovered from the vietnamese street food.

Paid european prices for pizza instead. @biggunsar where to eat? Better just order?
 
The traffic jams in central Jakarta are insane.

Kinda pointless to live in the center and go by taxi. I think i'll take a grab bike instead next time.

I'm already 25 minutes late for my date. Usually it would be the women doing that.

okay i have said this before

to look for fun H club or google jakarta 100 bars

the site is a little out of date, but check the comments. The newest ones will tell you if the club is open, still there, happening or not

as far as everything else. YA...it's fucking huge. that is why when you live in an apartment building like me. they have a grocery store attached to it, some restaurants, coffee shops, ect.
Basically jakarta is so big, they have created (instead of walkable scities) walkable neighbourhoods. So i really never need to leave my area

when you do, it's a drive. A FUCKING drive. cause the traffic. BUT......anything you want or need is here. Shit. was looking up dental implants and the newest is ceramic screws. Like it's NEW tech.I google jakarta ceramic dental implants BAM...it's here.

becasue its' so big, you cannot fail with any business. If you fail in business in jakarta...your business or business model sucks hard!

I've started to become more sympathetic to how true this probably is after learning a bit about other muslim societies. Being muslim doesn't immediately imply they're strict about it - in fucking Iran only like 30% of them are even religious these days despite calling themselves "muslim" and living in an islamic state.
I noticed a lot more headscarves in Malaysia. Always wondered if you even bothered with them in Indonesia and how common they are

i chose a place from jakarta 100 bars yesterday. "beer garden" is supposed to be among the cheaper ones (it was nothing like you would imagine a beer garden at all though). we ordered one pizza that we shared, 1 small and 2 regular beers and i paid around 23€. that's around what i'd pay in germany as well.

i can see now why you choose to pay women here instead. not my cup tea, but it makes sense financially. you will probably pay the same as for a date without the logistical issues and dating bullshit.

yea that seems to be the way to do it.

it's basically a failed city if you look at the whole picture. so everyone and everything just builds their little islands to live a decent live on.

i'll give this city another week and live and work from a decent business hotel.

if you wanna go to a cheap cool hang out place, give me a ring. Message me. I will give you my whatsapp

and i can bring you to a cool college hang out. its' massive and not expensive (being a college hang out) and i will invite my other canadian bro.
Tons of college bitches.
We should go on a thursday to sunday
we can take public transit (i use the bus system all the time, 5cents to get anywhere)

And let me show you some more "refined" spots if you want to try your hand at pay too. (you will not be disappionted)

Also H club, go, it's awesome. (when i recommend something personally, it's because its' dope!) remember that. Old school pussy hunter here

PS, jaakrta south is expensive. Jakarta north is fucking cheap (it's why i live here, cause im an internal jew with my money) east and wsst are equally cheap (and what your paying for in jakarta is considered expensive, once you leave the city)

PS to get around DO NOT use bluebird cabs. 2x's as expensive. Download grab app. (if it doesnt allow you due to region, google grab app apk if you have android)
and take a taxi that way, basically less than 7 dollars to anywhere. Usually about 2 or 3 dollars. ITs' so cheap my credit card kept blocking the grab app, cause my card company thought it was skimming.
so i use cash only now. (indonesian cash)

and if your going to use a bank machine, try to find an HSBC (they will give 3 mil to 15mil) depending on machine. For same price to take out of atm

all the other bank machines like mandiri and bca are niggers and will give only 2 mil at most and charge more. Some are super nigger tier and only spit out 1 mil, making you pay a take out fee for each mil)

yes, on my trip to malaysia i noticed that as well, and that's coming from indonesia.

indonesia it is regional and 5050. with the jilbob usage.

jakarta south jilbobs are rare. (city south) not indonesia south. there is a point past bogor where it starts to become country.

grab app is cheap for food, and it's not street food. If you want street food, there are better places, like up north where i live. IF you like street food, look for a gaggle of them all in a row. Not the single two or 3 vendors. The large group of food stalls means more customrs more competition so they will use fridges and have cleaner food.
But with Grab you can order COD. pay cash, but there is a limit. usually 150k rupiah, cause that is alot of money for those drivers

you take the bikes for taxis, not me, in my old age, i want a steel cage around me. one accident on a bike and your a vegitable for life
if the bitch waits, GOOD. means you are more high profile. She will like it. Dont' worry indo girl will order drinks while she waits.
 
how's Jakarta for cost of living, quality of life, slaying compared to Manila?

i have no comparison to manila

but cost of living is cheapest i have found, only place cheaper for rent is cambodia and quality of the places you get for that price. But food is more expensive in cambodia, cheap in indo

quality of life, all depends on what you do. I am a home body. So the only thing i look for is availability for shit i want. I want a blender.....how hard is it to find kinda dealio

i find now that i use shopee the main app in indo, its' great! But if you had to find it without speaking very good indonesian. Hope you have an indo friend that speaks english or you like to go on adventures for a few hours

as far as shit to do. Jakarta has everything. but the yin and yang is you have to travel.
luckly the grab app and taxi's are fucking cheap. So cheap i cannot use my credit card cause my card keeps blocked the transactions cause 2 dollars here 3 dollars there all day. They think someone is skimming my card. Even after DOZENS of calls saying "FUCK OFF AND STOP BLOCKING MY CARDS YOU ASSHOLES THESE ARE LEGIT TRANSACTIONS BY THIS COMPANY" doens't matter. within 3 days BLOCKED. So i use cash. pain in the ass, but i guess there is a yin and yang for everything in life

i have zero experience in philippeans, but i plan on doing my last visa run to the philliipeans next month

One of main reasons I skip big cities
 

I see why Indonesians are getting all the hype now. Seems like it is next PPB destination for reals.
interesting, i banged a jungle cutie yesterday who was 50% javanese and 50% sundanese :)

obviously not as hot as these artificial averages that never represent actual averages.

She's like 0.01% it's like if everyone was driving a lambo.
true

where are they getting all the hype?

i have yet to see anything but bali going viral
most of the time i'm the only white guy around in jakarta, like here in my hotel and the attached coworking space and it's quite centric.

sometimes i see other whites in the MRT or in pubs dedicated to their taste.

All that matters is the amount of attractive guys the girls have
