I didn't expect much from this trip, at first I was only after its good food at cheap price. But
surprisingly, there were several things to do in Jakarta.
But travel-wise, Jakarta is difficult to get around because of the dense
car population, and the pedestrian sidewalks are not so commuter friendly. Although their MRT service is under
construction, hence in the near future Jakarta might be another tourist haven.
Being a Singapore PR for 6 year, I tried my luck in online balloting for 2014 - Singapore National Day Parade (NDP), while filling out the online ballot, I purposely chose to be in preview show. Since I knew the chances of getting balloted is higher for preview show than during the actual day - August 9.
