This is my late post on my holiday to Jakarta Indonesia for the first time.
I managed to arrive at Changi terminal quite early as planned since I only took the mrt on the way there. Since it was my first time to take the train as I always took a cab to the airport. Arriving at the airport
I went out of Singapore last weekend for a 4-day sightseeing trip to Jakarta. Friday was national holiday and Monday was my off-day so it was a four days of free time not to waste. I took the mid-afternoon flight and as I want to arrive in the capital before night time. Just like Vietnam, Indonesia timing is 1 hour behind Singapore. I stayed at Sparks Hotel in Mangga Besar Dua road, it is not an ideal location but the hotel itself is nice, clean and cozy, a value for money for a 51 dollars a night. I booked the room in advance thru agoda.
To sum up my four days trip, I was able to explore the old town, climbed up the national monument, visited the museum, shopping centers, and yes tried the night life too. And also I found out that the city has a Cathedral that dates back 1901 and has a distinctive spires and built in neo-gothic style architecture.
Yes the hosts of Eat Bulaga came here to perform infront of the Filipino community in Singapore. I have no idea what was the occasion why they were here.
I let the pictures speaks itself.
I woke up late the next day since I slept almost 4am the night before. So instead of going to Corregidor as planned, I travelled up south to Tagaytay City. As mentioned, it was my ninth time already to visit the place. There was no particular reason why I chose Tagaytay except to bring accompany someone who had never been there. I never get tired of the place actually, I love the weather and the scenery especially at the Palace in the sky. We dropped by at the Olivares junction to catched a jeepney that will take us to Peoples Park but alas the terminal area had been transferred over hundred meters away so we had to ride back since the new terminal comes before it reaches Olivares junction. There is nothing much to do there except to admire the breathtaking views and the cool weather.
