From Jakarta with love!...

2 weeks in Jakarta. Arrived Jakarta on the 13th and returned last night. Very tiring.... I had fun though. Lots of subjects to take pics. But I left my camera at the hotel for a couple of days. It was too hot and I had to walk from the hotel to the classroom (about 30 mins walking distance.) Capek deh! hehehe.... [an expression used by Indonesians when they're tired.]

We start class at 8.30am and class ended at 9pm [some are at the softball field doing practicals on umpire rotations], had dinner and walk back to the hotel. [After 15 mins walking back, we get hungry again.]

Here are the photos I took when I first took off until I arrived Jakarta.

'AMAZING!' was all I could say.

A plane taking off as we taxiied.

Jakarta, here I come.

A giant hand phone just outside the airport.

A monument which I forgot what it was called.

A real haunted house in Pondok Indah. They made a movie based on this house.
'Rumah Angker di Pondok Indah'

A mosque somewhere [Named Masjid Jami Darussalam]

The shopping malls in Senayan

Flags [independence day of Indonesia is on the 17 of August]

'Koran pak...' [Newspaper sir....]

I stayed at this hotel. The Sultan Hotel, A 5 star Hotel. [which was formerly Hilton]

The view from my room. Fantastic.

Will post more soon. Will post in my multiply as well [The softball photos].

Hello people, just came back from Jakarta and saw this challenge. Good thing I took this picture when I was in Starbucks in Plaza Semanggi. This will do for the challenge.

GoD's GiFT Jakarta news;
I'm having a very tiring time in Jakarta, everyday classes will start from 8am till noon, and in the afternoon they will have a practical and then back in the classrooms again. I'm studying at the moment for exam tomorrow. exhausted! Haven't even been out to enjoy my time here, kesian... the Jakarta ladies team play as fast as the Brunei mens team.. and the Japan ladies team are there as well for training and they are a whole lot more faster than the Jakarta team...

The bloggers who were there

Untitled dressed as a gypsy. hehehe a blogger will never be far away from their lappies.

This dude came as Nikonian



This one is priceless. Rano got invited up on stage to give the last few batches of lucky draw gifts, and the dude who won was no other than Nikonian.
