Going out in Kemang

For the first time since I moved to Indonesia I got the chance to go out with my friends Henny and Carmi. (We were later joined by further Indonesian friends). We met at my place and then took a taxi to a bar called Eastern Promises. The name is quite fitting when it comes to aging Western men as it was croweded with bald, overweight Australians who were surrounded by suspiciously looking women - who were either there to find a providor or two earn some money that night. For most of the time we seemed to be the only "normal" people in the room. Later on, there were more young people who - just like us - had just come to enjoy the live music and dance. The band playing did quite a good job and the DJ wasn't bad either. Altogether, we really enjoyed ourselves and had a great time. We're certainly going to do that again!Read more
