Jakarta

10 a.m. - I got some indonesian breakfast just around the corner of the hostel. It looked not very trustful bit it tasted good and was cheap. There I met an USA guy named Nick. Afterwards we went to a coffee place, they sold just coffee but didn’t had a coffee machine. Just powder coffee. You can’t imagine.

12 p.m. - Later I met up with Robyn from Langkawi. She arrived in the night from Manila. We decided to go to the national monument first. The have a museum inside which told a lot about the history of Indonesia especially about the colonial stuff. But how they got muslims was quite confusing. There were a lot of school classes and they asked us a lot of questions and we took some photos. Furthermore we recorded kind of a interview with them which was very weird but funny. Afterwards I bought a sim card because the store was very close.

3 p.m. - Then we went for some lunch in the area and went to the national library afterwards. It’s in a skyscraper and on top the have a balcony from where you have a great view over the national monument. There we met Nick again. Unfortunately they closed a couple of minutes after we arrived and we also couldn’t go to the national museum, which was near by, because it was also closed. So we went back to the hostel and Robyn thought me the rules of chess. We played a game. I lost of course but it was fun and want to get better definitely. So I downloaded Chess.com to learn it properly and play some games.

7:30 p.m. - We went out for dinner a Indonesian local from our hostel. We went to chinatown in a food court but unfortunately most of the places closed already at 8 p.m. So we hadn’t had a lot options. Anyways I got a interesting Indonesian salat with peanut sauce called Gado Gado. We walked around the area afterwards to see a bit of the neighborhood. We just escaped the next thunderstorm as we arrived in the hostel.

P.S.: There was a Indian guy in our hostel how is traveling since 15 years with his bicycle through the world, he was already in 134 countries, to spread information about aids.Читать далее
