Places To Eat in Jakarta.

This is a picture of a restaurant here in Jakarta called Pepenero. It is Italian cuisine and I really recommend trying it out because it has good ambiance, service, and most importantly good food!

There are so many places to eat here in Jakarta. There are local Indonesian restaurants, Japanese restaurants, Chinese restaurants, Italian Restaurants, and so many more! Choosing a restaurant to eat in for lunch or dinner in Jakarta is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do! Not really, but the point is there are so many places and choices to choose from here in Jakarta. So the question is, how do you choose the right place to have lunch or dinner in? Do you just walk into a random restaurant? Well first all, good ambiance and service really seeks attention. Would you want to eat at a restaurant with bad ambiance and bad service? The answer is no. Most importantly is good food. No one wants to eat in a restaurant with bad food. So do you now know where to eat for lunch or dinner?

Rock On!

This is a picture from the Bruno Mars Concert. The crowd went crazy for him!

Over the past month many bands and singers have been coming to Jakarta for concerts. Bands and singers such as Ne-Yo, Far East Movement, Bruno Mars, Justin Bieber, and Maroon 5. Tickets to these concerts cost as much as two million rupiah! Some might say that its ridiculous, while some might say that it's totally worth it. In my opinion I think it's totally worth it. Its a once in a lifetime chance to watch one of these singers or bands live in concert. These singers and bands definitely bring huge urbanization impacts to Jakarta. The entertainment that they bring in to Jakarta makes Jakarta more industrial and city-like. These concerts could be one of the pull factors for someone to move to Jakarta. Not only that, it also gives jobs to a lot of people. These artists need people to help out with ticket selling and sponsors.
