Actually Ibis Hotel Arcadia and Tamarin are not bad either...Taxi will cost US$ 3 to Istora....Hotel costs Rp.413.000 ( including all taxes)
Indra, I am there on 14th and 15th -- how about nasi padang ? HKH, would you like to join too ? Abedeng, Loh, Hcyong ? Anyone for nasi padang on the 14th ?
X_Ball, We will only reach Jakarta 15th morning. Since you are there already, why not extend your stay and meetup? Azabaz, Hau-ge mentioned other hotels cheaper than Century Park, especially for u. U get your own friendly grocery store close by. Most importantly, it's a good 5 km walk one way to Senayan. Should be as fit as the players by the end of the tournament.
If you can accommodate us on 15th evening or maybe lunch, depending on how soon we can settle in our hotel, we would be most pleased to accept your kind invitation! Right abedeng? But don't forget pjswift and badminton kaki too.
hehehehe, even with cheaper rate i can't make it. the 5km walk would either get me fit as a fiddle or losing consciousness by the road side somewhere along the way.
Lunch on 15th OK - let you guys know when it is closer. I am checking out on the 15th - so no accommodation.
Thanking you in advance on behalf of members of our badminton tour group. Looking forward to meeting up with you again. Hopefully our Indonesian, Malaysian and other BC friends, can also make it.
Maaan... ..you guys, who are going to Jakarta in May, make island-hopping sounds so easy & effortless-envy you guys...if i want to go to Jakarta, in May, i have to do numerous & long island-hopping.. Anyway, all you guys going to Jakarta, have tons of fun & take loads of pics of the get-together to share w/us here!!
I can probably join you guys for lunch on the 15th. Will be arriving Jakarta on the 14th. Terry will be joining as well.
Told u Chris, it's about time to visit ur relatives ...... X_Ball/Ants/Hau-ge et al, meetup for lunch? Let's have an early one, since our biological clock is one hour ahead of West Indonesia Time. The budget airlines aren't serving food and I'm sure Loh and hcyong would be starving, wouldn't have time for breakfast before that early flight...... Someone was already grumbling about having to wake up early. Please declare assembly/meetup point.
Abedeng, why don't you make the call on which nasi padang coz I have no preference ? I remember there are a lot of good ones around Senayan.
Our hosts would know more than me. Some of my favourite restaurants have disappeared or relocated, like Dapur Sunda at Cafe Semanggi .....
Eh, I thought chris's relative is not in Jakarta ? Unfortunately, I don't think I can make it back home during the TC due to my tight schedule in mid-May.
New shopping malls: Grand Indonesia, Senayan City (just opposite of Plaza Senayan). New restaurants: I believe plenty of them There's a couple of nice established restaurants near Senayan area, like Nelayan (tried it for reunion dinner a few weeks ago). Oh...sate lovers can drop by Senayan City's food court. I believe they have a satay stall there
No it's not, just to help him find an excuse to go back to INA .... like my birthday celebration excuse. Hope u won't miss all the coverage on TV, badMania. Maybe meet u again at S'pore Open?
