Can you talk about some comparisons to other places in SEA you have been. How did you find the English level of the girls and just generally of the people you would meet like taxi drivers and people working in stores.

I'll write a little more about scams later, but basically if you go to Old Town (Kota), beware of guys who speak good English and initiate a conversation. No, I didn't get scammed, but there were a couple of attempts.
Don't trust random guys, local or foreign. Nothing bad happened to me, but I could have been fucked big time, big time if I wasn't lucky. More on that later.

A light kiss first and I tease her saying that I am disappointed with the way Indonesian girls kiss. That works like a charm and she goes in for a long deep kiss.

Thanks for the details. I take it that you are in your 30s or older b/c otherwise some guys may hesitate to hang out with a girl in her mid thirties. But on the other hand, as you suggested, her financial situation made it easy NOT to worry about transportation, for example. And, also a bird in hand is better than two in the bush.. he he he.. especially on the first or second night.

FYI, in Jakarta, the salary for an Indonesian full-time male driver is $125/month. For a full-time female domestic worker, doing cooking, cleaning, etc., it's $75/month. I'm strongly considering getting both on my next trip back.

Were you able to pick up girls during the day in Jakarta? And, if so, would that be in the malls?
I have read that the streets are NOT very hospitable... so I am assuming in the malls would be the best? What were your Jakarta experience regarding day game, if at all?

I am interested in hearing part 2 to this story regarding guys getting scammed... or attempts at such... Need some street smarts, I suppose.

Day Game in Jakarta
As it was mentioned elsewhere in the forum, street game in Jakarta is ...
Shopping mall game, however, is a different story. It was a big mistake on my part to not try it until I had a couple of days left in the city. Next time I’ll definitely be hitting the malls a lot more.
On that day, I had a pretty bad cold from the air conditioner, and my voice was so fucked that I was scared of hearing it. I also looked a bit like shit being sick, hung over and sleep deprived at the same time. My hands were shaking a little bit. If I were a girl, I wouldn’t even talk to me in that condition let alone giving my phone number.
I approached 4 girls in total.
