I like you're logistics mate but due to the nature of Jakarta traffic and road structure you're still going to be cabbing it back from either X2 or Dragonfly (X2 to hotel would be more like 10 mins if take the rear exit from Plaza Senayan but good luck convincing your bird to walk it in heels and chances are there may not even be a footpath). Also, although your hotel is geographically close to both venues it doesn't mean the cabbie still won't have to drive 5km past it in order to find a U turn to get on the correct side of the road. Hopefully not but Jakarta road structure really is that bad. I would try tee up an Uber to pick you up so at least you can go in some style.
The upside is that everyone in Jakarta already knows what it's like to get about and cabs are your only option, the chick should already know what to expect so it shouldn't kill the mood too much. Plus the likely 5-15min cab ride back to your hotel for the 'afterparty' is a lot more attractive than the 1hr+ cab she would likely need to get back to the suburbs instead.

haha yeah i was just about to make the same comment as irish. i think that's actually a pretty poor option for accom if you're planning to go to x2. it's too close to warrant a cab and some cabbies will refuse to go that short a distance (after waiting in a semi-cab rank line at x2) - or they will try to charge a stupidly high fee for a trip that wouldn't even break the flagfall (60cents)
also, i just went on a horrendous tinder date. the girl looked hot as hell in her photos and turned out to be a plump, depressed chick. think im about done with tinder in this city.

Wouldn't say it was all that bad really, I'm sure it made sense on paper. But the good proximity is nullified by the shitty Jakarta infrastructure. Had it been say a block closer it would've been absolutely ideal for x2. But generally as long as you're not miles away it should be allright, I would just offer the cabbie 5 bucks up front before he gets a chance to knock you back and it'll be more than worth his while.
I presume they're serviced apartments? Generally I prefer that from a hotel, particularly if there is two or more of you as you can throw an afterparty for everyone together yet still have private bedrooms when you want to 'extract'

i've been here for a few years now, and seen exactly 2 violent crimes.
in the US/Australia, that number would be in the dozens by now.
a few things to remember are just the obvious stuff:
- watch for pickpockets in crowded areas
- dodgy clubs are dodgy because there are dodgy people...duh. again, watch your pockers.
- only catch blue bird, express, dtaksi or transcab. preferably the former 2, although the latter two are fine as well. obviously uber as well.
- wear a condom for christ sake.
- dont pull out wads of 100k rupiah notes in public

The other approach to ripping you off is telling you there is a minimum 40k rupiah charge. That happened to me several times but I just told them to fuck off and they didn't make a big deal out of it.
White Horse is another cab company that's on the safe to use list.

@Irish
Illigals is very short walk from where stadium was. It is owned by the same company and according to stadiums Twitter they have put the stadium djs in illigals. When I was in the big D last December illigals was pretty dead but I'm not surprised to see the switch to that venue.

Yeah I know Stadium was supposed to be dangerous but it was so much fun. I had a notch who in hindsight I realized was a shore after she was so damn good at billiards. She was the hooker with a heart of gold though I put in rotation for the duration of my trip. Then there was the Dutch-Indo make out girl who was on E. She just looked at me and was like can I kiss you? Then there was the girl who was married with kids to a German and had a russian boyfriend. She and her British-Indo friend came back to my place so the Brit was pissed her friend wouldn't let her leave so we could fuck. So I heard wanker being said authentically for the first time... Ahh those were the days.
Any way I definitely think that in J town it's perfectly acceptable to venue change ten times a night and there is no reason to think a place will be the same. Jakarta nightlife is notorious for changing with the breeze. Along that thought I have a Twitter account I will use to follow every venue each night to see what's what.
Oh and I forgot to mention the time I got to drunk at x2 then went to stadium only to pass out after puking in the lobby bathroom. So truthfully it can't be that unsafe as I retained all of my effects after waking from my little nap. So don't be afraid to slum it up in the largest Muslim city in the world.

Haha, sounds like Stadium really was the place where the magic happened. As my experience from the one and only time I was there before it got shut down I ended up double making out with two chicks before taking them home with their annoying friend who then tagged along and having a 3 girl romp in bed back at the hotel.
However, after having only banged one of the girls I then began spazzing out due to having taken one too many pills back in the club. The girls ended up calling a nurse to come out who then put me on an IV drip.
My mates still give me stick about it to this day...

Heard that apparently the shut down time is 3 months.
So I will be sure to be there (hopefully) for the re-opening party, which I'm guessing will be after the end of Ramadan

Speaking of Ramadan,
My impression is that all the party ho's head over to Bali in those months, is that right?

Hi, I always read your posts with much interest. I have just read girls in Jakarta like big and white cocks and they like to get fun. If a girl doesn't get fun with you, she leaves you the next day. Therefore the indonesian girls like western men as they could have all that the girls like. I don't know Jakarta at all and I'd like to ask some questions:
How a western man have to behave himself to give pleasure to a girl? I know girls in Jakarta like to get fun with a white man but I don't know what behavior or model you have to follow. For example do you have to be serious, earnest, reputable ..... or do you have to be playful and always in a laughing tone? Some suggestions please?
Thanks
