jakarta

yesterday i woke up in lake maninjau and it felt like it was time to go. i had my last pancake and coffee, said goodbye to the guys and took a minibus to the airport in padang. shopped around for the cheapest flight to jakarta, got a ticket and waited around for the flight. at night time i was already here. took a tuktuk to the tourist area - jl jaksa and spent the night in an overpriced bad room, but clean!

before i got this room i looked at another hostel where the guy said i could stay for free if i would sleep with him... - and i passed on the 4Euro savings ;)

today i got a train ticket to yogyakarta :) and will be going there at 7pm!

meanwhile i met a guy from east timor called vasco da gama and we spent the morning together speaking portuguese :) and then had a great lunch together! as we sat down he said "the restaurants here are from 3000 years back..." and then he called the food there "cultural degradation"... but i think the food here is quite good! i could use a bit more variety... and am totally tired of eating rice... but the food is good!

then i went back for coffee with the finish guy from my guesthouse who traveled by land from finland to australia and is now on his way back home again ;)

only a few more hours in jakarta!
