Jakarta - After the smooth flight from Singapore, I took the silver Bird cab waiting outside the airport and it cost me Rp 200,000 to the Hotel. It is always my policy to take the Blue Bird family - Blue Bird, Silver Bird and the higher end Golden Bird.
When we reach the edge of Jakarta city, the cab travel came to a crawl and the traffic was bad - took me roughly one and a half hours to reach Le Meridien Hotel. Had to quickly unpacked, iron my shirt and get ready as my partner will pick me up @ 1pm for lunch and meeting.
Lunch as a new experience with the food I had never tasted before. I even took a photo of the menu because there are so many new dishes on it.
