I was in Jakarta from the 18 till 21 of February. I was there with my parents and 4 of their friends. After that we flew to Bali and stayed there till the 24th of February. Jakarta was ok, but I will never go there again. It was a good experience to see it at least once. Bali was great. Tons of tourist (even though it was the low season). I can't imagine it during peak season. I pictured Bali to have clean beaches with crystal clear water. To my disappointment this was not the case. I guess nowadays it is hard to find such beaches. You'd have to go to the middle of nowhere for that. We were lucky to be in Bali at that time because there were tons of rituals that were being performed leading to the Balinese Hindu new year called 'Nyepi'. All in all, Bali was great and the people were so so polite. They smile a lot too... :) More to come of Penang and Singapore....ciao...
