Balikpapan, Indonesia
Wednesday, 12 September 2007Balikpapan, Indonesia
After about a week or so in Manila, Rune flew with Cebu Pacific Air to Jakarta, Indonesia, last weekend (Friday evening, 7 September), where he stayed in a small homestay in an area called jalan Jaksa in central Jakarta. It costs Rp 60,000 per night, or about 6 US Dollars. “Soft Laundry”, which is also a guest house.
So after staying in five star hotels in Manila (Vivere Hotel and Shangri-La Hotel) where daily room rates are $170++, BUT Rune’s employer pays for it, hehe, it is of course different when Rune has to pay for it himself! So $6 is acceptable in Jakarta.
And on Sunday 9 September Rune flew from Jakarta to Balikpapan, where he is currently staying in a private house.
Now sitting in Excelso Kafe where they got wireless internet and posting this.
