Party

# Go to south Jakarta, the place is called Blok M. The place has everything to offer that you may need to party. It has a number of night club- pubs with friendly staff and other accessories. People call these accessories 'cute little things'. While your way back to home you find at least 20 of such things trying to stop your car and bargain. They wear sexy outfits and charge anything between 300k to 500k.

• Sportsman: Essentially a 'no shit' Sportbar. Popular among expats. Serves good food and chilled beer. No women allowed without a male companion. Got a pool table and several LCDs. Staff is nice and friendly. Ask for Rima, the teen bar tender, if you go there.
• D'place: Just next to Sportsman. Place with a VIP room which costs you Rp 100,000 ($10 approx) and you can bring any girl inside with you. Full of chickens (read bitches).
