Very tired from our outdoor adventure of climbing the Gunung Gede, we continued to the last city of the trip, Jakarta. The first thing on our mind was healing our sore muscles from the climb with a massage, a very difficult and unsuccessful endeavor, it turns out. In this city we would visit two companies, a very big one and one that is more of a startup. Furthermore, we did a lot of cultural exploring. The Istiqlal Mosque is the biggest one in Southeast Asia and a beautiful place to see! We also visited the Christian church of Jakarta and I was told that the church and the mosque capacities often were shared in moments of need (such as parking spaces on certain days).
During our time exploring Indonesian cuisine, we indulged in a spectrum of flavors—from fiery, spicy dishes to more familiar delicacies like poffertjes, enriching our taste buds along the way.
In this city, we used Grab (the app for cheap uber rides and more) to its fullest. We found out that there is an option for going on a grab scooter, and enjoy the ride with the thrill of the ride style of the Grab drivers.
