Welcome
To Jakarta
Once
saddled with a reputation as a poverty-ridden hell
hole, Jakarta mutated into a metropolis with all the
outward appearance of an Asian boom town in not much
more than a decade. It took only a week of rioting
in May 1998 to reduce some of this modern façade
to a burnt out shell. Shopping malls, offices, banks
and businesses owned by ethnic Chinese and the ruling
Soeharto family took the brunt of the rioters' anger.
Jakarta remains very much at the centre of political
events re-shaping Indonesia, and how quickly the city
recovers from the riots and the political and economic
turmoil remains to be seen.
That
said, Jakarta is the most expensive city in Indonesia,
the most polluted and the most congested. But if you
can withstand this onslaught and afford to indulge
in its charms, then it is also one of the region's
most exciting metropolises. Consider Jakarta the 'big
durian' - the foul-smelling exotic fruit that some
can't stomach and others can't resist.
Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta international airport is
35km (21mi) west of the city centre, and there are
bus stations around the outskirts of town.
Population: 9 million
Area: 661 sq km (258 sq mi)
Country: Indonesia
Time Zone: GMT/UTC +7 hours
Telephone Area Code: +62 21
Orientation
Jakarta, on the island of Java in Indonesia, sprawls
over 25km (15mi) from the docks to the suburbs of
South Jakarta. The city centre fans out from around
Merdeka Square, a grand, barren field, which contains
the central gold-tipped landmark of the National Monument
(Monas). Jakarta doesn't really have a centre: rather
there are a number of centres all separated by vast
traffic jams, incredible pollution and heat. For most
visitors, the area south of the monument holds most
interest. Jl Thamrin is the main shopping and deluxe
hotel thoroughfare, while just to the east is the
main restaurant and cheap hotel area.
