Jakarta Trip Report / Mini “Datasheet”
**Incoming long post**
Just got back recently from a 7 day/6 night trip to Jakarta (more like 5 days since I passed out the first day/night and on the last day I just hung out with Freddy_1 briefly before heading to the airport)
Summary:
+3 bangs (all nightgame)
- also banged a hooker for the first time but not counting that. Also 1 of the 3 was my first “shore”
Overall, I really liked Jakarta for the partying and girls part. It’s true there isn’t shit to do during the day, traffic is horrible, pollution is really bad, etc. but as Freddy_1 put it, no better place in terms of easiness/quality. I would be interested in coming back for a weekend – probably to hit the light skin Chinese-Indo scene (any Asian dudes that are down let me know - get the impression Chinese-Indo are more insular when it comes to non-Asians). For reference, I was only in Bangkok for ~4 days last year, but I thought the girls here were hotter (lots of nice bodies) and had a much more sexual vibe. I also think that they are hotter than Koreans in that plastic surgery didn’t seem anywhere near as prevalent and because Koreans are just mostly nice to look at (frigid culture, not very sexual).
Big thanks to booshala, Freddy_1, and Irish. Didn’t get to meet booshala but his
data sheet helped out a lot and he was giving me a lot of tips over text that definitely helped. Freddy_1 (will just refer to him as Fred from now on) was the first guy I met in Jakarta and great to hang out with – fun times were had. Dude truly exploiting White God Factor to the max out there haha. Irish straight up has the city on lock – say his name at any club and they’ll probably let you in (joke but semi-serious). Dude rolls with a crew of straight pornstar-looking, fly Indo girls at all times and knows what’s up. Definitely hope to link up with you guys again in the future
Tinder pics of girls so you can get an idea (these are girls that I liked so not a fully representative sample of looks/quality. Also threw in some stuff that I thought was funny and representative of the girls' attitudes towards sex):

I actually matched with some (don’t usually get good matches on Tinder) and seemed Fred was actually banging some chicks of comparable quality (White God Factor explained below in further detail)
Budget:
I spent ~$1200 all in for this trip.
-Airbnb 5-10 min walk from Grand Indonesia Mall ~$30/night, ~$200 total incl. fees
-Roundtrip flight from Korea ~$550
-Spending money ~$450
-Could definitely get away with spending less like maybe $1000~$1100 for the week if you don’t spend money on hookers, bribing cops, etc. Also, drinks are Western prices so get some alcohol from duty free and/or have an alternative to alcohol
Lodging:
~$30/night without fees. Next time I might try to negotiate outside of Airbnb and pay in cash to avoid fees/maybe get a better deal but that price was solid for me. Location was ideal as noted, had an ok gym (few dumbbells, cardio machines, basic machines like lat pulldown/cable row), pool, sauna, hot tub, etc. No complaints about the place other than that Uber drivers had trouble finding it and that my room was above this ghetto mosque that just blasts Muslim prayers and stuff randomly throughout the day and ~4:45am at night – slightly annoying but easily fixed with earplugs.
Transport:
All of it (taxis) fucking sucks. Even Uber. Uber is cheaper than regular cabs from what me and Fred noticed but at the same time, the drivers are retarded. They could never find my place and I would wait like 15-20+ minutes for them to come before canceling and getting hit by cancellation fee (only ~$1-2 USD but still frustrating and might add up). I probably had to cancel ~50% of my rides. I suspect it’s because Uber is probably trying to expand hard in the city and doesn’t screen the drivers. Girl I shored on my last night out told me Grabtaxi is good but can’t confirm as I didn’t get to use it.
-People also said Bluebird was reputable but I don’t think anyone is in this corrupt ass city (read my report for “5th night” – pretty sure cabbie was in on the police racket).
-People in this thread mentioned these as reputable (best of the worst IMO, so to say – nothing works like it’s supposed to – 3rd world): bluebird/express/dtaksi/transcab
White God Factor:
It’s too real. Fred told me a girl told him it’s cuz they want half-white babies. That sounds ridiculous but he knows his way around Jakarta so I trust him. The reality is if you’re a white guy you legit get jumped by Indo bitches. I witnessed Fred getting jumped by some chick at the club like straight lunging at him, kissing him, biting his lip (hard), etc. Now, that isn’t representative of what happens all the time and Fred is a pretty tall white guy, but point is, if you are white, things are much easier.
-I did ok for myself as an Asian but I am above average height compared to Indo guys (especially when I go out – I will usually wear shoe inserts that make me ~5’11). I am also Northeast Asian (Korean) so a little less dark, have decent style, and good game. As a non-white person, expect to put in a little more work (but that’s not even saying much…) FWIW, saw a short Japanese guy with a pretty decent girl.
-Being Asian I thought I seemed to attract girls who weren’t as “straightforward” in the sense of molesting me from the get-go / I don’t think I made out with any of the girls before I got to my crib (vs. white guys and Indo girls were all over each other at the club) but not sure if that is correlated with my race. I also look very young (if that plays a role).
Language:
Think someone alluded to this in the thread but it’s not necessary to learn Bahasa before coming. Maybe just learn straight (lurus), left (kiri), right (kanan) for the cab drivers but most girls speak passable to fluent English so I wouldn’t bother unless you plan on staying a while.
-Download Google Translate though to fill in any gaps – used it a decent amount to talk to people – cashiers, cab drivers, girls, etc.
Phrases I actually used:
- how are you - apa kabar?
- im fine - saya baik (bahik)
- good - baik (bahik)
- - bagus = good vs baik im good
- bad - buruk
- English? - inggris?
- beautiful (girl) - gadis cantik (chandig)
- crazy (girl) - gadis gila
- thank you - terima kasih (yw= sama sama)
- sorry/excuse me - maaf/maaf, permisi
- airport - `bahndara
- straight - lurus
- left - kiri
- right - kanan
- how much - berapa banyak?
- water - air(?) (eye-ir)
- delicious - lezat - when kissing girls, etc
- toilet - toilet (doylet)
- Keluar – exit
Nightlife:
Gets going ~12 or later like Korea
Someone said this on here but if you google a club it’ll say days/times it’s busiest (gives you a good starting point)
Thebeatjakarta.com/indoclubbing.com for event calendars – some decent DJs come through for sure
-X2/Equinox - sad I didn't get to check this on a busy night. According to Fred, Equinox (the upstairs part of X2) is great.
-Immigrant - saw it was the pickup spot somewhere in this thread. Definitely true. For reference, I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many guys getting action at a club. Korea, MAYBE you’ll see 1-2 guys a night hooking up with chicks, USA (NYC) maybe ~4-5. But here even the most average of dudes were just going up and it was on
-Fable - Irish told me it's a young vibe. Might be good for me to check out next time. They had Cyril Hahn come through on Friday - would've been interested in going but that's more a chill vibe
-Dragonfly - cool setup but seems more loungey than pickup-y
-BATS/CJs - Irish and I think booshala were telling me these places were options on slower nights (like Sunday). Mostly hookers though
-Illigals - sketch afterhours joint
-Colosseum - another sketch afterhours joint
-Empirica - according to booshala when he came had the hottest girls (more Chinese-Indo scene)
-Blowfish - booshala's friend who lives in JKT says it's the hot spot. A girl from Okcupid told me it's mostly Chinese-Indo
Backstory:
Booshala mentioned this in his datasheet but definitely have one. Every girl asked how long I was staying. My excuse was that I might get sent to Jakarta in a couple months for work so I wanted to go for a week (or a month depending on the girl lol) to check out the city and see how I liked it.
~Trip Report~
1st day/night
-I pass out because I had only gotten 2 hours of sleep the night before and didn’t sleep on the plane either
2nd day
-Wanted to do some sightseeing so went to Istiqlal Mosque (biggest mosque in SE Asia, 3rd biggest in the world), the cathedral across the street from it, and Monas (National Monument – basically a copy of Washington Monument in Washington, DC and the National Mall). Almost passed out from heat and lack of places to buy water. Literally one entrance to the Monas area and I had to walk the whole circumference of the park to get to it – awful. Was interested in going to the top of the actual monument but the line was 2 hours so I said fuck it and that was my sightseeing for the trip.
-Later I had a Tinder date with an Indo girl who I matched with in Korea in January (she had been traveling here) – she wasn’t anything special like a 6. Seemed a bit shy/conservative – invited her back for a drink but she wasn’t down. Think I was a bit touchy – holding her hand, etc. That’s usually what I do but I don’t really do dates or daygame and Fred told me that’s not really the Indo way (touching in public) and that there isn’t really a need – maybe some light touching if you’re sitting by each other somewhere but after that just inviting them back for “a drink” or insert whatever excuse (most will come back)
2nd night
-It was Thursday night which is supposedly pretty dead in Jakarta but I wanted to do something so I went out alone – Irish got in Friday and Fred was tired from all the Indo love. I hit X2 first – it was pretty dead like 20 people total. Started chatting up 2 chicks at the bar as one eyed me as I went to use the bathroom. The one that was eyeing me and that I originally approached says I should talk to her friend (who is way hotter like an 8 for me). Turns out they are both flight attendants on standby mode (there were a few people like this at the club). It was very much a social, chill feel though and I was trying to have a crazy night. The hotter girl asked me when I planned on leaving – I couldn’t tell if this meant fuck off or stay so we can leave together soon because I had been trying to feel her up a little bit and she was hesitant. I'm used to running that type of game in more high-energy environments in Korea but my pulls in Indonesia were pretty chill so maybe I shoulda just chilled with them and tried pulling later on. They had also driven in from Tangerang (airport area) and the less hot one was DD so I thought logistics were bad but as I will allude to again, just assuming it’s on is a good mindset to have.
-I did get some girl (not that hot and weird breath but whatever wanted a bang on first night) to come outside the club with me but she said she had to drive her friends who were visiting from Singapore (I don’t know how, she was so wasted).
-It was here I first noticed that Indo girls have more swag, know how to dance, and carry themselves better (compared to Koreans of a comparative age) – this is probably because Koreans lack independence (most people live at home, some even into their 30s, maybe start work in their mid 20s). And of course the culture is more conservative
-I go back in and see a girl at the bar – obviously working. Older, not the hottest (lots of makeup) but I say fuck it and go for my first p4p. I ask how much – she asks 1 million – I type $30 USD into phone currency converter and it gives 400k rupiah so we go for that. I take her back but I’m not into it all and I kick her out.
-I wanted to keep the party going so I go to Colosseum ~3:30-4AM as I remember reading it was an after hours spot but it was dead. Pretty lame first night but I take the loss and head home
3rd day
-Think I was just trying to set up Tinder dates all day and hit the gym and stuff but to no avail really. Online has never really worked for me though. At the same time, I didn’t have shit to do during the day so why not. Nightgame is easy enough but trying to Tinder bang during the day can help kill the time. (By the way the Internet I think is generally very slow so maybe download some movies or something before you come if you want to watch something).
3rd night (bang)
-First real night out (Friday – Friday and Saturday are the big nights) and I’m pumped. RVFer EinsteinsLaundry who I’ve chilled with in Korea arrives and we pregame at his place. I was on cloud 9 thanks to Phenibut (might write a post on this eventually but it’s like MDMA lite) + alcohol combo (every drink is like 2 drinks on Phenibut). So we get to Immigrant and meet up with Fred and Irish. This place was straight hookup central. I can’t even remember getting rejected (but I was really fucked up). It’s like you’re scared to approach because the first girl you open might be the one you end up taking home (if that makes sense - too many choices). I thought this night was crazier than the next (Saturday). Maybe it’s because there was some famous DJ (Aron Chupa – I don’t know who that is but someone said he’s famous) and people were more live.
-Eventually I meet the girl I’m gonna pull. Solid 7 for me, maybe an 8 at the time given substance abuse. Says she’s 22 but looks mid-late 20s by Korean standards (apparently most Indos look older). I first get her to chill on the balcony with me (basically became my go-to move with girls at first to see if they would be ok with me leading them by hand – probably not even necessary – and to get out of sight of the friends for a little bit). My memory is blurry but basically I tell her to come chill and get a drink – I say it’s very close (my place lol) and that we’ll go back ~2 (I think I pulled ~1:30 but not sure). However, she puts up a good amount of resistance (I don’t think we had made out or anything at the club before leaving) and I finally get the bang ~3. She wants to go back to find her friends and bag – none of which are there. We run into Irish briefly before heading to Illigals to find her friends (supposedly a very sketch club). I thought she was a little “innocent” or “shy” at first but she seems to know bouncers at this sketch club, saying hi to random dudes (probably banged). As Freddie puts it “All sluts man!!” Anyway, we chill at the Burger King next door as she tries to get in contact with her friends. I have fast food for the first time in years and am passing out at BK. We finally meet her friends and go in the club semi-sketch vibes. ~6AM I am soooo tired. Wait ~15 minutes so she gets her face time with her friends then leave and bang again but can’t cum for shit that night. Apparently Phenibut makes it hard to cum and alcohol does that, too, and I generally have a tough time so it’s bad. We pass out for a few hours and I hit it in the morning or should I say early afternoon and jack myself off and blow a nice load in her mouth no homo. She leaves and I die for a bit.

Pics of girl - for the pics where she is sitting away from me - took them as I was coming back from BK bathroom (PM for password - have rep/post)
4th day
-Just chilled, gymed and stuff, hung out with Fred, tried to recover. Again it was difficult to set up anything online. Might have been because of the weekend or because I wasn’t white, who knows. As mentioned, online isn’t my thing.
4th night (bang)
-Head to the other big name expat club, Dragonfly. Thought I was real fucked up (Phenibut again) at first because I was almost walking into mirrors and stuff (like along the side it’s a bit trippy of a layout) but Fred told me he was having that problem, too. Really cool interior but more of a lounge feel than a pickup feel. To be fair, I don’t think I even approached though. Got to really see Irish in action as I was relatively sober – dude literally owns the city. Had to have had like 20+ people at his table just mingling like a pro – admiring his social chops. Girl he was with for the weekend looks like a pornstar (and most of her friends, too).
-Anyway, me and Fred decide to hit Immigrant – I think ~2. As we’re waiting for Uber, we see one of those insane concept cars you only see in car magazines and at auto shows pull up to the club. Totally expecting some Indo billionaire guy to step out but it’s two girls who are like 20 years old max. I think Fred is like “yo you got a bf?” – didn’t work but I wouldn’t have been surprised if it did. Honestly, I think Jakarta is a top candidate for place you could make sugar baby or stay at home dad a real career path.
-Immigrant is not as poppin as the previous night but it might’ve been because I was less fucked up and we got there late – Fred told me ~2-2:30 is usually pull time so probably peak would be ~1:30-2. Also, no Aron Chupa or whatever the fuck and the ratio is fucked – total sausagefest. Some dimey gives me eye contact and smile so I go in. That kind of girl wouldn’t give me the time of day in Korea. I take her to balcony, chill a bit, but I think I was expecting too much too fast. Like I got the “sober, chilling with friends” vibe from her but like I said – just assume it’s on, even if the vibe doesn’t seem that on (hot girls are usually robots emotionally anyway). Einstein ended up banging her so lesson learned.
-I eventually meet the girl I will bang that night who is like a 5, maybe 6 at best but whatever, it’s getting late, sets aren’t going as well, and I just wanna bang every night. She had a decent booty though. I ask (vs. lead – my usual move) if she wants to leave. She talks to her friend, drinks with her a bit, and is eventually ready to go. I just say “a drink at my place” “5 mins away.” She pays for the cab which is cool. We get to my place and start banging. I say I’m gonna try and cum (get ready to jack myself off) but without me even asking she starts giving me a blowjob. Now, I’m not that into blowjobs or anything but my God – this was by far the best head I’ve ever gotten – my eyes were literally rolling back into my head. I thought she was a little “shy” or “conservative” – like the first girl, I don’t think we made out or anything in the club. But as the venerable Freddie J says, “All sluts man!!!” I banged her on the balcony, too (my first time doing that) but it wasn’t that good cuz of the height difference (shoulda told her to put on her heels in retrospect).
-Misc: she was into Asians whereas most girls (according to her friend) are into whites
-Bitch was also staying at the Shangri La “I spend half my week in Tangerang, half in Jakarta.” She even invited me to brunch the next day. The money in this town was really mindboggling like zero income equality. As Fred put it “you either hanging out outside 7/11 or staying at the Shangri La” hahah. Really a crapshoot being born Indo – either living better than most 1st world people or just another speck of 3rd world dust. Meanwhile, you got American kids “occupying Wall Street” and complaining about “income inequality” – hint: go to work
-
Pics of 2nd girl (PM for pw - rep/post please) *Very NSFW - me banging, etc.
5th day
-Made a reservation for 4 for brunch at Keraton. Someone in this thread said it was the best brunch in town. $40 USD (no alcohol) for oysters, kobe beef, etc. No one else woke up but I enjoyed myself. Felt like a jokester just some 20 something shithead walking into some VIP shit and everyone calling me papa (don’t know what it means but I’m guessing daddy or something similar)
5th night (bang)
-Sunday but I wanted to go out. Go to this place Exodus that was listed on Indoclubbing and Thebeatjakarta. No one is there but I am vibing real good to the music (I think alcohol re-initiates the Phenibut or something for me). Feel like I’m in Berlin with the setup and music. ~15 people total in the club, maybe 2 females. I just dance alone for like 20 minutes straight (drugs) and bounce.
-Get a cab to Crown – supposed to be sketch but whatever I like that vibe sometimes. Cab driver says "something something police ok?" I thought he was asking if I was ok that we had to pass a police checkpoint – he had a really innocent look. Was probably in it with the cops though (faggot). I was lying low in the cab thinking cops wouldn’t see me that way – cabbie probably thought I was fucked up. Noticed on maps that he was taking me the scenic route – shoulda hopped out. I see police ahead (shoulda hopped out) but kind of in the middle of nowhere (fuck). At first the cops ask me for 1-2 mil rupiah but I say no. I say I’m gonna call my embassy. They say nothing will change if I do that. I say how much, I’ll give you 100k and they take it. At this point I want to curb stomp the driver and notice he takes me past Crown. I just walk out of the cab as I’m close enough to walk. Fuck that guy
-Get to Crown and it’s sketch as fuck. There are rooms and KTV (apparently Fred’s friend banged a girl in one of the KTV rooms) and a couple clubbing areas. The main area is so dark you could probably bang someone and no one would even know. I’m scared to get too fucked up and even approach (mostly hookers anyway) not so much out of approach anxiety but for safety concerns. Not sure I’d recommend this place unless you go with a local. Could find your organs on Alibaba.com or something if you’re not careful. Even the cashiers looked faded as hell.
-I go to another room which I think they call the lounge – a bit brighter so you can see people. I see a girl eyeing me so I approach. I ask her if she’s working (she is) – she has a decent body with slightly Indian features – darker skin, more defined nose - 7 for me. I just chat her up anyway as I figure there isn’t much possibility of anything tonight. I guess the Phenibut is still in my system from Saturday as I’m pretty chatty. She tells me she had a Korean ex (good sign). Though he was the typical brutish Korean male so I think I had a nice contrast (I think I’m pretty nice/polite but still sleazy/go for it lol). I say I got no money to pay her but that she should come back and chill. I offer her Phenibut and vodka and start telling her about Phenibut (sex is good for girls according to GoodLookingLoser, music sounds good and you feel more social – MDMA lite, no anxiety and you feel relaxed). She can maybe tell it’s working because I am having a really good time. Finally she agrees to come over just to “chill.”
-We get to the crib and she’s shocked by Phenibut, takes pics of the pills, etc. She seems a little weirded out so I pop one pill to show her I’m not an organ trader or anything. To be honest, it usually takes 4-5 hours for it to kick in for me so it probably wouldn’t have done anything for her anyway – at least not for a while. She takes it and we’re just chilling listening to some music.
-We eventually kiss and start banging – I drop a decent load (considering sex and stuff the past few days – brunch oysters probably helped) on her right as the guitar part hits in this song (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWcjRfpKOzA) ~2:37 – listen to the whole thing. Fucking glorious
-We get to talking about drugs (real crackhead night…) and she tells me about the Indo drug scene a little. Weed, x, ice (meth) seem to be popular. Tells me that her Korean ex usually would last like 2 secs in the sack (stereotypes!) but sometimes they’d do some meth and go for like 5 hours or even the entire day. Fucking insane country haha
-I guess this is my first shore? Gave her some Phenibut (cheap as shit), a little vodka, paid her cab. She seemed like a “freelancer” – told me she goes to Crown twice a week. All at the tender age of 22
-We are on the balcony chilling, she’s smoking a cig – I give her one of mine – this LA Ice clove cigarette shit the flight attendant from the very first night showed me - tastes nice no homo (I don't smoke normally but smoked a bit this trip). It’s bright out, I think I’m way fucked from the Phenibut as it becomes very interesting to look at things – I’m admiring the scenery. I see the mosque that wakes me up in the morning – it’s part of this Jungle Book-esque complex of 3rd world tin huts with banana republic type palm trees… right below this Thamrin gated community of 40 story high-rise buildings… The polluted purple-orange sunrise in the distance looks nice
-We’re chilling on the bed, she says I look sleepy (I am) but I don’t want to fall asleep as I feel she’s gonna rob me. I get her an Uber (takes forever as usual) to take her to her place (~40-50k rupiah).
-This night was probably the most interesting to me – somewhat of an alternative experience
Pics of girl (pm for pw - rep/post please) *NSFW - jizzed on her
6th day/night
-Hit the pool/hot tub. Super tired but have a Tinder date. Girl has a slightly grating Western-ish attitude. Not terrible but not someone I’d want to see again. Was interested that she had the same “Myers Brigg” type as me (INTJ – very rare, very analytical/brainy/introverted type). She was 27 but looked 19 and acted like it like her personality decided her destiny or something. Ate Korean food at Grand Indo together (not good) and got her back for a drink. Tried to kiss but she wasn’t down. Maybe I coulda pushed for it more but I ran out of vodka and was so tired/didn’t care at that point.. ended up passing out for 11 hours
7th day
-Chilled with Freddie for a bit before hitting the airport.
Random thoughts
-A lot of people (girls, too) seemed to think I was Indo, maybe Chinese-Indo. I asked Fred if they tried speaking Bahasa to him, too but it was just me. Some people would give me a bow (probably thought I was Japanese – many of them here)
-Clubbing is more fun than Korea – more open culture, drugs, etc. The DJs are also decent whereas Korea everyone spins the same commercial EDM trash - at least in the big clubs.
--Your clothes still smell like shit though since everyone smokes in the club – good thing there was some Febreze in the room
-I think a big reason for the easiness is like Thailand, I didn’t see any Indo guys I thought were “alpha.” They all look 3rd world, or are gay, don’t approach, etc.
-Previously mentioned but the money in Jakarta is crazy. The last Tinder date I had – her ancestors were kings and stuff. Don’t know what girls/their parents do – maybe some corrupt government official type gigs but I would seriously consider trying to become a reverse gold digger here
-The tap water is really bad – don’t drink it
-Get your embassy’s info on a phone note or something
-Lots of girls seem into Justin Bieber and Myers Brigg (Tinder profiles)
-Bahasa is not as annoying to listen to as Thai or Chinese (no offense) – don’t think there are tones
-Surprisingly not many bugs
-Don’t be an idiot like me and get 750ml Absolut Korea edition from duty free cuz you think girls will like it. (It sucked) Just get the full 1L of something standard and just buy mixers. That extra 250ml might have gotten me one last bang from Tinder (she was starting to get slightly tipsy/more talkative)
Great trip - really fun city. Looking forward to coming down here again - hopefully see what's up with the Chindos!
