These days, I travel to Jakarta, and I walk around the nearby streets and parks every morning.

Over time, the ability to predict becomes stronger, and I can detect the face that God says will change, after all, the weather is hot and cold or cloudy, which indirectly affects the mood.

Although it is summer all year round, occasionally it will be cloudy and occasionally rainy, or there are unexpected winds and rains, this kind of sudden changes, if you are careless for a moment and lack an umbrella in your hand, then in a dilemma, and finally end up in the rain.

Jakarta, also known as Coconut City, is the capital and largest city of Indonesia.
Located on the northwest coast of Java Island, the largest city in Southeast Asia and a world-famous seaport. Jakarta is a city with a long history. Hundreds of years ago, it was already a famous seaport for the export of pepper and spices, called Sunda Kelapa, which means "the land of coconut groves", or "the world of coconut groves".
Famous attractions in Jakarta▲
Jakarta is undoubtedly a city where tradition and modernity, rich and poor, stand in stark contrasts. At first glance, it looks like a chaotic jungle made of reinforced concrete.
The streets of Jakarta▲
From the heights of the city, you can see low-rise tiled houses interspersed with high-rise buildings, asphalt roads and bluestone alleys, and golden high-end hotels and high-tech centers located not far from the noisy, crowded village. All of this makes it sense that Jakarta also needs a better urban vision as it strives to develop its economy.

There are policies and countermeasures, which cause strange phenomena on the road.

The Mandarin Hotel, where our group stayed, was an old building just a few storeys high, Katsuki had recently been completely renovated, and was spacious enough to be one level higher than the regular De Luxe, featuring Jakarta's largest shopping mall just opposite.

When we walk into the mall, there are all the famous brands, but we are not going to buy those things, there are several floors specializing in Indonesian products, you need everything. Another local product center is a little farther away, and I have seen it, and things are unreasonably expensive, and it is a place to cut tourists, and I will not go.

In the evening, go to an antique decorated royal restaurant, and the first satay will stop your tongue.
Local fast food restaurant▲
Satay is a traditional Malay delicacy – marinated beef, lamb and chicken are grilled on skewers over moderate heat and most importantly dipped in a thick layer of satay sauce. Satay sauce is made with peanut butter, coconut sauce, young shrimp, etc., and it is very fragrant, and it is sure to be addictive to eating.

Enjoy bunches of satay with traditional Malay rice, gherkins and onions wrapped in coconut or pandan leaves to enhance the flavour of satay in your mouth. A wooden plate five or six feet long with a variety of satay, some skewered with bamboo skewers, some with lemongrass, some with sugar cane, and the sauce is also different. Then there is curry, in short, there is no end to eating, which is rarely tasted in China.

Another thing that is physically and mentally comfortable is an Indonesian massage.
We found a superlative one where you can enjoy Javanese massage and Bali (Bali, Indonesia) massage, which is different from Thailand's. If you feel like you're having a good job, you can sacrifice a lunch and go from morning to night. The place is clean and noble, and many Indonesian dignitaries are regular visitors, so you can rest assured.

As the lights come on, Jakarta becomes more lively at night.
Hanggebesar Street in the West End has been one of the "black" spots for many years, because it is full of "red light districts".

Around eight o'clock in the evening, our group and local friends arrived at our destination. Tamrin Street is the commercial center of Jakarta. Facing the brightly decorated and elegant hall, I couldn't help but have all kinds of doubts in my heart. At this time, the lady at the reception smiled and came forward and asked, "Do you want to try new goods?" Mr. The companion replied cheerfully, "Yes, please take us directly to the room." ”
Jakarta Night Life▲
This is a standard Japanese-style private room with a long stone table in the middle. We knelt on the tatami mats, and the decorative lights in the room flashed as if to welcome those of us who were "looking for excitement". The melodious sound of music echoes in the room, how romantic! It was in this wonderful atmosphere that the young, beautiful, and beautiful girl pushed the door and entered.
Japanese-style private rooms at the restaurant▲
The author still has to slowly adapt to such an environment by talking about the world. The young girls in Japanese kimonos are all charming and have beautiful voices, and even this kind of conversation almost intoxicates those of us. At this point, one of the girls asked, "Is the official show ready to start?" This little nizi named Yanni seemed a little impatient. A friend waved at them and said, "Okay, let's get started." When another girl named Wadi heard this, she quickly went out to order food.

In a moment, the delicate "sashimi" fillet was delivered. Wadi and Yanni slowly lay on the cold table with beautiful soft music, and then took off their clothes one by one until they were completely stripped. At this time, the girl standing on the other side placed pieces of raw fish on their carcasses. The bodies of the two gently twisted with the stereo. I looked coldly at my regular friend, who was smiling with his lips pursed, and God knows what was going on in his mind at this moment?
Restaurant compartment▲
"Hey, what are you waiting for? Don't be shy and eat all these delicacies quickly. My friend shouted to me. To be honest, I was really overwhelmed in front of such two beautiful and sexy girls. Looking at their writhing bodies, it is very much like a beautiful snake swaying by the fire. In order to adjust his tense mood, his friend picked up the chopsticks on the table and began to eat sashimi piece by piece... Suddenly, he slammed off his chopsticks, stepped forward, put his lips close to Yanni's carcass, and directly used his mouth to take the fish fillets, he kept eating, and quickly ate all the fish fillets on the. And I was shaking my head next to me and watching the whole scene seriously.
Restaurant show real people "eat"▲
Listening to the locals, this place was originally used to sing kara0K, but four years ago it was transformed into such a special entertainment place as it is today. However, after the makeover, the business became more and more prosperous. After the pandemic, entertainment venues such as this one have sprung up in the vicinity.
Local karaoke cabaret
Spending in such entertainment venues is, of course, not affordable for ordinary people. The entrance fee alone costs 1 million dong per person (1 Indonesian rupiah (dong) = 0.0005 yuan), and each additional round has to be added, plus tips for girls, etc., which is calculated to be at least 3 million yuan a night. Despite this, it still attracts a lot of men. For men with a monthly income of more than 10 million yuan or more, this 3 million dong is really not a big deal, and they have naturally become regular customers here. As for whether there are ethical issues? No one will delve into it.

As a local companion said: "It's just a way for businesses to attract customers, but there is nothing." But for guests, it's a real thrill! So of course, it is a matter of course to be a little more expensive. "I heard that Bali also has this kind of place to "enjoy", it is no longer the exclusive property of Jakartas.
A street where Jakarta is full of vehicles
I have been to Jakarta many times, and now I am more and more nostalgic and sometimes inexplicably sentimental.
Jakarta is like spring all year round, and tall lush trees temporarily wipe out homesickness.

The window was opened, and the wind gently entered the house, and the distant and pleasant ode of the Indonesian church Mass was heard, babbling, like a huqin weeping lingeringly, I couldn't understand it, but it made my heart as transparent as a god. The noise makes the heart lose its direction when it came,
Everything is so beautiful, although I am thousands of miles away, but I meet the wind of Jakarta, soft, people's smiles and bright eyes, as if the wind blows through my barren heart, the grass rubs the misty eyes, embracing thousands of beams of light that shine to the earth.

Relying on the waves of the pillow with the gulls soaring, standing proudly and the equatorial flow is long.
The phoenix tail shakes the wind and the wind is beautiful, and the dragon's waist breaks through the rain.
At four o'clock, there is no change to spring green, and the thousand islands often contain the fragrance of jade dew.
