Greetings everyone

My name is Jyouichirou ( Jyou ) and I am a Half Japanese who is a newbie in Jakarta.I spent most of my life away in Australia and Singapore, Shanghai .I have just graduated from an Australian University and is only been in Jakarta for a month.Since i am new here, I hope i can get to know some friends and enjoy my new life here in Jakarta. I can speak Japanese, English , Chinese and Bahasa Indonesia (not very good at it), But please teach me more on it :)

I do appreciate if anyone can show me around Jakarta or recommend any places i should go
here.
Cheers!!

hallo Arayoo.

welcome to jakarta.
I hope you can enjoy your days in jakarta. because the Indonesian people are very friendly and polite. but you have a little patience, if you're traveling because Jakarta is famous for its traffic jams on the highway especially during the rainy season.

Nice to meet you.

Fred

Hi and welcome.
Maybe you could tell us about your hobbies and interests.
That way, you may find like minded friends.

Hi there, welcome to the forum. Hope you'll find new friends soon :)

Arayoo

Hello thank you all.
My hobbies are travelling around the world and taking photographs.Currently i'm doing around Asia because indonesia seems really near from neighbouring south east asian countries.

in fact i'll be going to BALI next month!
anyway , is there any good destinations i can go around Jakarta?
probably a tourist hot spot or some place with great food :D?
any suggestions would be welcomed!

Cheers!

Go to Kota Tua or China Town. You can take picts of old building from the Dutch colonial aswell as local food.

Hi Arayoo :)
enjoy your stay !

Hi Jyou,
I'll be in Bali/Lombok by early next month for a week. I'm Indonesian but this would be my first time going there.
If your schedule matches, we can meet up, I can show you around or you show me around LOL. I can teach you Indonesian and you teach me some Japanese. I'm also an amateur photographer (who took mostly bad pictures).

If you plan to spend some time here and want to get to know Indonesia...get out of Jakarta! visit Komodo, Borneo, Natuna, Belitung, Raja Ampat, Yogya/Borobudur, Bromo, North Maluku (Ternate, Tidore, Jailolo) etc.

Arayoo

Hello Tempo,
Thanks for the offer. which day would you be in Bali? If the time is good, we can always meet up for a chat :) or perhaps go around Bali together?
sure, it would be a pleasure to teach you Japanese.

Yes, I have some people recommending me to go Belitung and Raha ampat. Maybe that would be my next trip!
Good night!

tempo

Hi Jyou,
I'll be there from 31 May-7 June. Lombok then Bali.
Yeah it'll be a great idea to explore Bali together if your time schedule allows.
Otherwise there's always the next trip :), just hit me up by then

Arayoo

okay :D
i'll tell you again if everything is confirmed.
thank you tempo

Hi, Jyou.

Please check out the link below:

If you need a driver/tour guide in Lombok, you can contact pak azis.
Hope it helps.

Explore Kota and Kelapa Gading for food. Try "babi guling" or "nasi campur" if you like pork.

Have fun :)

Arayoo

Thank you for your recommendation.
Unfortunately the forum blocks the link you sent to me >_<
