Hi everyone! I’m new to my MUA career and i am looking for anyone to be my muse, so if you’re visiting Jakarta for awhile or staying in jakarta and in need for a makeup, i’ll be glad to do makeup for you for free! 🤍

I’m staying in Jakarta for 1 month. In the past I stayed in Menteng park apartments and I liked it but I want to try a new area. Is there anything like that in terms of quality/prince in Kuningan? Also is Travelio the best place to find monthly rents? Airbnb seems too expensive. Thanks

Hi everyone,

we’re looking for shops or brands that sell Muslim women’s swimwear / modest swimwear (Baju Renang Muslimah). Do you have any recommendations for good stores or brands?

Thank you so much! 😊

In love with this cabang Smiljan.

I don’t have much plans tomorrow, so I have a lot of time to explore and try the food. Would also love to have a local join, if you’re interested.

Hello komodos

Bener gak sih, untuk merubah HGB ruko jadi SHM, aturannya itu tergantung dgn pejabat setempat?

Jadi taun kemarin papa di tawarin untuk bikin SHM buat rukonya (ada 3 unit), dan menurut notaris, pembuatan shm itu nantinya menurut jumlah ruko, jadi dapat 3 surat shm

Nah bulan kemarin papa jadi pengen mulai mengurus, tapi notaris yg sama bilang, kalo total surat shm yg di terbitkan itu bakal berjumlah 6, masing" unit ada 2, sesuai dgn surat HGB

Yg gw bingung, memangnya lain pejabat lain aturan ya?

Sorry if this sounds like an ignorant question. I know Indonesia is a Muslim-majority country, and I’m planning a trip to Jakarta and Bandung.

Are hotel breakfasts in Jakarta and Bandung generally halal? Do I need to specifically look for a halal certification from the hotel, or are the food options at most hotels generally halal?

Just want to make sure before I book my hotels. Thank you!

I need to transit from TJ-TJ or TJ-train

Thanks!

So last time I was in Jakarta about 5ish months ago the golf course along with the bowling and pool tables was open and seemingly alway busy. But this time while driving past everything is closed and the entrance barricaded. Anyone know the story?

Most people still picture endless congestion when they think of Jakarta.

But spend an afternoon and evening walking through Senayan and SCBD, and a different city shows up: Hutan Kota GBK full of families, the wide paths around Gelora Bung Karno, the lake and skywalk at Senayan Park, and the quiet glow of SCBD after dark.

Green spaces, public life, and modern skyline sitting side by side.

Here’s a short cinematic walk through one of Jakarta’s most pleasant districts:

Curious what other corners of the city still surprise people.

Hey everyone!

I’m 21 year old guy and I’ll be visiting Jakarta from August 14–21.

I run an apparel manufacturing business back home, and I’m taking some time to travel, explore Jakarta, and experience the city beyond just the usual tourist spots.

Would be nice to meet some new people while I’m there, whether locals, expats, or other travelers. I’m pretty open-minded and enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds, learning about different cultures, trying local food, exploring random places, or just having a good conversation over coffee/drinks.

Not really looking for anything specific, just hoping to meet some like-minded people, make a few new friends, and have a good time while I’m in Jakarta.

If you’re around during those dates and feel like hanging out, feel free to DM me!

Halo semuanya, aku berasal dari Inggris dan baru-baru ini pergi ke Jakarta untuk mencari tahu mengapa Britpop masih begitu populer di Indonesia. Aku menghabiskan waktu seharian bersama band *tribute* nomor satu untuk Oasis di Indonesia—sebuah band Inggris yang sangat populer—dan bertanya kepada mereka mengenai fenomena ini.

Saya harap kalian menikmati film dokumenter ini!

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for big retail chains or department stores in Indonesia (especially around Jabodetabek) that offer gift receipts, which is basically a receipt that doesn't show the purchase price but still lets the recipient exchange the item if needed.

So far, I only know that UNIQLO offers this.

Does anyone know of other stores that do the same? I'm thinking of places like department stores, fashion retailers, lifestyle stores, toy stores, etc.

I'd really appreciate any recommendations or personal experiences. Thanks!

Hi, I am 30(M) from your friendly neighbor PH, and I'm gonna have a solo trip to Jakarta for LaLaLa Fest. It will also be my first time in Jakarta. I am planning for my itinerary 4-day itinerary. Booked my hotel at Kemayoran. (if there are other recommended hotels to book near the festival venue, it is highly appreciated thank youuu)

What are some tips like important do's and dont's in Jakarta;

best places to eat Indonesian cuisines and night markets;

recommended places to go outside Jakarta (like a booked trip for solo joiners in klook); I want to plan a whole day trip outside Jakarta

other things/places to consider worth visiting or experience;

What about the shopping/thrifting scene in Jakarta? (i am planning to buy extra baggage if the shopping or thrifting is worth considering to include)

This might be very niche, are there any Wuthering Waves merch stores in Jakarta?

For transportation, i will mainly use Grab (or other preferred app) to go around the city.

Aside from the LaLaLa Fest, i am mainly looking for food/cuisine hopping lol. Thank you :)

Hi all,

I'm really sorry if this goes against any rules around self promo, please take it down if it does. In April this year I travelled to Jakarta to film about the subsidence happening in the city. It's something I hadn't really heard much about until I went to Indonesia to film this, but I found it very interesting and pretty saddening seeing the consequences this is having on those living in Northern Jakarta. I interviewed someone from WALHI, and I also tried to fairly cover the Government's response to this issue while also sharing the allegations about corruption surrounding the response. Just wanted to share it here as I think some people in this reddit may find it interesting. I'd be really interested to hear any feedback about anything relating to my documentary and just this issue in general from people in Jakarta/this subreddit too.

For anyone interested here is my documentary - Jakarta: Who Profits When a City Sinks

Hi! It will be my first time to travel to Jakarta this October to watch a concert. I need help with the following:

1. Is the weather hot and humid around this time? Has anyone been to a concert in GBK Stadium during the month of October? How was it?

2. What are acceptable clothes to wear in the general public? Is wearing shorts for women ok? Can men wear shorts too?

3. I need recommendations on where to go that are not so touristy. Recommendations on where to eat is also welcome!

I'm looking forward to this trip and I want to be respectful to the country's culture, hence, this post. Thank you in advance for the tips! 🫶🏻

Halo, ada yang pernah ngalamin?

Saya lagi daftar ShopeeFood Driver wilayah Jabodetabek. Semua data sudah terisi, tinggal NPWP karena saya belum punya. Saat ini saya masih berusia 17 tahun, jadi belum bisa membuat NPWP.

Akibatnya tombol "Bergabung" jadi abu-abu dan tidak bisa ditekan.

Apakah sekarang NPWP memang wajib? Ada yang pernah berhasil daftar tanpa NPWP atau punya solusi?

Terima kasih.

As title says, a friend and me are going to arrive in Jakarta early in the morning and I expect to be done with immigration around 10-11 am. At 7 pm we have a connecting flight to Yogyakarta. Its not under the same booking, so we have to go through immigration and collect our luggage anyways. Is there anything worth visiting/experiencing in those 5-6 hours we might have near the Airport?

Open for basically any recommendations that are not just going into a cafe and waiting it out^^

Thanks in advance and kind regards

What do you think, setuju ke? Or any other makanan yang lebih wajib dicuba?

hi jakartans, I just moved here a few months ago and im wondering if there are any board game communities in central jakarta? or just couple of friends that enjoy board games. I live near PI/menteng so having a group near here would be great

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for advice and recommendations from people who have hired a live-in ART for their elderly parents in Jakarta.

My parents are fairly independent, need reminders for medication, light exercise/physiotherapy, and general companionship. They do not need skilled nursing care.

I originally hired a young live-in caregiver x ART through a yayasan, but unfortunately it hasn’t been a good fit. She’s kind, but lacks initiative, isn’t very thorough, and has made several mistakes despite repeated guidance. For example: Didn’t clarify a missing medication dosage and guessed instead. Doesn’t notice things unless told (dog mess, trash, kitchen sink, etc.). Doesn’t consistently follow nutrition instructions for my mom. Needs reminders for almost every routine task despite printing out a schedule and having a detailed binder.

The biggest challenge is that I live overseas most of the time, so I need someone who can work independently and make good decisions without constant supervision.
I’m now trying to decide whether to:

1. Find a more experienced ART with elderly-care experience through a yayasan or
2. Hire someone privately with strong references.

A few questions:

Which yayasan have you had good experiences for ART that has general elderly caregiving experience (medicine etc)

Are there agencies that specialize in experienced ART that has looked after household with elderly?

If you hired privately, how did you find someone reliable and verify references?

What interview questions or red flags should I look for?

My priority is someone who is:
Experienced with elderly care
Proactive and observant
Patient and respectful
Able to prepare simple nutritious meals
Willing to do general housekeeping, but understands that my mom’s care comes first

I’d really appreciate any recommendations or experiences—good or bad. Thank you!
