::Artrageously Unique & Exotic ::

It was an early morning flight, so we just took naps for a bit. Hotel gave us a take away breakfast box which contained Nutella and colourful sprinkles on top of a bread. I could barely touch it for a bite but I just had to. Thank goodness for Teh Botol Sosro to wash down my food, it was too sweet for my liking but what the heck!  I was still too sleepy when we got to the airport. Felt like a panda walking through airport ticket counters and immigrations. Something caught my eyes though. I remembered chatting with Imsy ( a nickname for a music buddy of mine ) who recommended food that I need to try in Indonesia. So this is one of it. Bakmi GM. I didn't get to try the non fast food bakmi but this one will do for now. It was nice for my savoury taste.  Walked around till it is finally the call to go home.  Definitely not my last visit to the Indonesia.

Another day for a whole day of shopping and finally some time to get pampered. Who would have thought that I would thought I love to this of addiction. This 'Mustika Ratu' place was too luxury for words. And later, our last dinner in Jakarta.

Truth be told, I am not a fan of this. Yes, I eat hot and spicy and all but this, not really. But it is my first time here. Although we have this back home as well, I don't think it is the same as the authentic, original ones here. I was game enough to have this 'Nasi Padang' with Soursop Juice along. Oh, lunch was at Salero Jumbo in Jakarta by the way. Overall, it was good, not bad at all.

And we kinda accidentally crash a wedding at a church, gracefully ( haha! ) but they were kind enough for us to enter and even gave us their wedding favors! That was the first and definitely the highlight of the day. 

Landed and safely reached the new terminal of Soekarno-Hatta International airport. As soon as we got through our bags and immigration, we were greeted by our guide and driver. They brought us to a nice place to have lunch at a restaurant nearby. A nice place to begin but my oh my, I accidentally deleted the pictures. But oh well!  Hello Jakarta,  Nice to meet you. This is my first time here and it was love at first sight.  You have that charm of your own. Skyscraper tall buildings, crowds on a highway. You are beautiful being yourself.  Traffic was really bad on the way out from Jakarta to Bandung. Too many cars in the big city. We had a few pit stop at some rest area now and then. Drinks, snacks of banana fritters and their famous tauhu sumedang along the way.  Hours drove by, with some local Indonesian and reggae songs to kill. I was so sleepy but knowing who I am, I never slept on road trips because for a reason I w...
