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.
