We went to Jakarta for a day-trip yesterday. What fun we had.
Upon departure we got to know that there is a departure tax. Needless to say that we spent all our cash. Now, in many other countries this would not be a problem. You simply pay by credit card. In Indonesia that doesn't work. The banks close at 3:00pm, so no chance to get money there. We got out of that dilemma with the help of a gentleman also living in KL...
We paid him several rounds of beer and his money upon arrival back home.
Nicole got a wrong stamp from the immigration officer. She was "overstaying" as the passport was stamped, reflecting she is allowed to stay until 31 August. What a fun country!
Then again, they seem to be on a mission to kick all Super and Hypermarkets out of business by creating the next level of shopping: the Shopping town!!
