Shopping in Jakarta

Can't believe I thought I wouldn't find "stuff" here: Guess what....it is a shoppers paradise!! Maxine and I went to two malls today and I was really surprised by the glits and glamour not to mention the variety of stores e.g. guess, prada, Dior, LV, Hugo Boss....you name it! You are really spoilt with choice...wouldn't know where to begin. Also, some items are very reasonably priced. When you drive in security does a bomb check inside and outside the car, the driver dropped us off in the valet dropp off. After our shopping spree we had an awsome lunch (Ayam...yes, it's safe to eat the chicken). We then went up to the car call desk which does a PA anouncement in the parking lot for our driver (Pak Diding) to bring the car around. Traffic on our way back to the hotel was a mare, no evidence of road rage...I'm even surprisingly calm (guess it's different when you not driving yourself). I couldn't believe the size of some of the houses (more like Hollywood manor's).
