gobbledonk Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 I shouldnt keep coming back to this bloody thread - I *know* that I have to save money, and you guys implanting the desire to rush down to the travel agent and book a plane ticket is the complete antithesis of that aim To those of you who will be in Indonesia later this year, all the best, and keep the posts coming.

gobbledonk Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Good point re the IRA Soppy, but can we restrict the discussion of the Kuningan bombing to the existing thread in the Board Bar, please ? It doesnt fit in to the 'Sanuk' ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Must say I was shaken up by the explosion, which happened just a few minutes away from my hotel. I was drinking the night before with a mate who works at the embassy, and was relieved to find he was ok. Other than that, life here is pretty good. Went shopping for engagement rings with the little lady in Blok M but found that the bule tax was applied. I am planning to give her the cash to get it with her mom, that should reduce the price somewhat. I have joined celebrity fitness in the EX annexe of Plaza Indonesia, and must say its one of the better gyms I have been too. Plenty of choice totty there as well. After my workouts, I go to the starbucks below and sit outside near the escalator. If any of you are mall rats, you could do alot worse than sit there. I am not chasing tail here, but there are plenty of keen looking girls coming up that particular set of stairs. If anyone wants to hook up for a beer, PM me for my mobile number. Until then, take care and all the best. PS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobbledonk Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 Hi PS, Mate, its good to hear from you, and great to hear that you've escaped the trials of South Korea for Java ! I'll have to check, but I think you may have joined the same gym that my Indo GF belongs to - she's one of the million or so ethnic Chinese you probably walk past everyday Enjoy yourself, and keep us apprised of developments in Jakarta. Cheers, Artie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 Developments, well, nothing really doing here, just shag the missus, make like a good muslim around her mom and bro and watch soccer on cable. One thing I can say is that if anyone stays in the Hotel Kaiser in Duren Tiga they are nuts. I just endured a week there in what I can only describe as a "Faulty Towers" type of hell. I have moved to a smaller place nearer Kumang now which has better facilities and a pool for 25% less. Took the soon to be Mrs PS and her mom and bro to blok M last night, and we ate satay from a warung in the car, apparently it is the best satay in Jkt, but I must say I have had better. Still, dinner for 4 at under $10 aussie aint bad. Planning a night out at one of the bigger clubs soon, but it will be a look but don't touch affair. Will keep you all posted as things develop. Cheers PS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
