Did I say JJ was a terrible place? Must've been drunk. I actually have some very fond memories of Jalan Jaksa, when I first came to Jakarta stayed in the Ibis Hotel on Jl. Wahid Asyim.

JJ is only 2 mins away on the opposite side from Ibis, turn left.

Then a few years later worked around the corner from JJ, in B Mentara building in Kebon Sirih and would go there for lunch (P's Place now closed) they did a good fish n chips.

Alis Bar was also a place I'd go for beer... Anyone know if the Welshman still runs that place? Think his name was Peter.

absolute cafe, which has stood in the same place as P's Place for at least the last five years, also serves some edible western-style bar food.

She barely dared to strawl the road (covering her face), but by no means she wanted to eat something in one of the restaurants. (I just could get her to eat something at the kaki lima) It seemed to me she was ashamed to be there???

She told me later jaksa has a very bad name amongst 'decent' jakartans and her family would not accept if she would be seen there.

Does jaksa really have such a bad name?? I find it the most pleasant and safe street in jakarta, why all this fuzz?? Do you have similar experiences?


I pass by that street couple of times, but havent tried to stop by..it's just another tourists corner with cafes, cheap hotels, foreign tourists, etc. Drug dealers, and whores can be found anywhere else that might even worse. Not my kind of place to hang out though, i prefer sport club, the malls, and ancol :p

Fascinating but sadly illogical. Or logically sad. Depends how full your goblet is.

I think the Indoesian girl should be ashamed to be from Indoesia. Google and the UN concur. Not even a country.
FAIL.

I remember passing by jalan jaksa many times, but i never stopped to have a drink or whatever... i probably was a stuck up bitch back then.
now however, i wont mind going there. maybe the next time i come for a visit i'll drop by and see what the fuss is all about..
(and for pappa's curry!)

When you get to Jaksa, be sure to visit Romance and also Papa Cafe and ask to meet Rex T. Marcus. He's the definite highlight of any trip to the 'dark street'.

YaUdah's new marketing slogan. For those who can't read my terrible photo, it reads:
Don't stand there and be hungry; come on in and get FED UP...



MARKETING FAIL!
