After much contemplation, consultation and assessment, (a process which took around 10 minutes) I made the plunge. I typed in my credit card's numbers and hit the "pay" button. Oops. I just bought myself a ticket to Jakarta.
Who could refuse? A roundtrip ticket to Jakarta for only P5,506! Add P1,620 for the Philippine Travel Tax - a compulsary fee for all international trips, which I find expensive for its own right. Still, the P7,100-something sum is cheap. Very much so.
Indonesia, for me is unchartered territory. Nevermind my friends' impression that Indonesia, especially Jakarta, is an unsafe and unsecure place. I think that's just alot of bull. I think Indonesia, just as how the Philippines is internationally typecasted to be running amok with terrorists, is totally misrepresented. I bet it's a beautiful, beautiful country.
I'm aiming to just spend one day in Jakarta and then head out to Bali using trains and ferries stopping at Borobudur on the way.
But how will I pay for it? That, my friends, is the question. Bahala na si Batman.
I shouldn't even be doing this yet. I have a big trip coming up... USA for the holidays! Snow for the first time! New Year in New York!
But that is for another post.
