There are some artists and dancers around too, some of whom would come and approach you to dance right in front of you for some change.

Unless if you're transiting in Kuala Lumpur instead of Jakarta, on the way to Bali, then you'd probably need a longer stopover.<br /><br />I'm biased, of course, haha! ;)Ramble and Wanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336881437780077950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877877240777118514.post-27733112245248434782016-05-30T17:13:13.574+08:002016-05-30T17:13:13.574+08:00While I agree that 'old is gold", I do th...While I agree that 'old is gold", I do think they could do better with maintaining the place. When I visited the old town and harbour 2 years ago it I loved the old colonial buildings but you could see that the area was a bit run down and all the smelling litter laying around kind of put me off. With a little bit of love, this area could be so much more! I did love the harbour and the 'villages' surrounding the harbour though! gleysenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10705253763000883059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877877240777118514.post-49218701838399618592016-05-30T15:55:42.195+08:002016-05-30T15:55:42.195+08:00I've actually never heard of this place bfore ...I've actually never heard of this place bfore but from what you have shown us here, it seems like a nice place to explore.

Hanging out in the main square - people watching, eating, and biking around - sounds right up my alley. We are potentially headed to Bali over our summer vacation with a night or two in Jakarta. I will take this itinerary into consideration if we go! Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05027331015382113399noreply@blogger.com
