I've always love to go to Indonesia. There are many places to visit and explore. Prior to this trip, the only thing I knew about Jakarta is its immensely populated city which causes massive traffic jams. Jakarta itself already has about 9.6 million population. The traffic gets really bad during peak hours.
I went there with my mom and 2 of my cousins. This trip was made possible since all of us could speak the local language which makes it easier to communicate. It was solely a trip of exploring the culture there, tasting lots of local food and also 'shopping'.
I can't remember exactly the places that I went to but will show you some of it so you could try if your're planning a trip there. Total cost for the trip was just slightly more than RM ... for the full 3 days inclusive of airfares and accommodation. It is relatively cheap to take a budget plane there which cost only RM... and accommodation is cheap too.
There are bound to be places of interest to you. Jakarta is actually filled with sightseeing and tourist attractions, lots of shopping malls, and hidden back streets for nightlife, food and fun. In Jakarta you will not find it shorts of tourist places to visit or tourist attractions to see or things to do.
