Is there anything worth getting here in Jakarta? Electronic/gadget-wise, I mean. Not foodstuff since we're departing for Melbourne tomorrow. Which, could not come soon enough, since Jakarta is cloyingly dirty and boring.

No foodstuff, sure kena tahan in Australia.

Just saw a father slapping his kid with slippers he removed from his feet to get the kid to stay quiet, while walking back to the hotel. Welcome to Indonesia, I guess.

The Japanese kind. The kid went quiet straight away. My anger rising, but I kept telling myself that I cant change these folks' way of life with anything I'd do or say to them. Cést la vié.

I'm gleefully waiting to get home and start buying season pass for Glee. Don't stop believing!

From what I understand here, you're complaining that you get charged, presumably by using data/WAN plan even when you're connected to Wifi?

That "wave" symbol does not mean you're connected online. It just means that you're connected to that network. Think of it like you're being able to get past the ushers at TGV but unable to get into the cinema halls. You're connected but "teh internetz" does not flow. The iPhone then searches for other means of connecting online, which is your data/WAN plan.

Either use apps that disable WAN/data plans or jailbreak and install apps that do that. Maxis is being the goof at fault here but dumping the iPhone for for those phones are serious downgrade, to me at least. You lose screen estate on the BB and for the E72, well......Symbian is getting too long in the tooth, so to speak.

But hey, it's your dough. To me, anything other than Nexus One is a downgrade, and withdrawal syndrome will kick in later for that. To me, a user shouldn't have used the iPhone if they're not prepared to embrace its day-to-day usage pattern, because once you move back down the rungs to more "rudimentary" phone, losing that multitouch UI would leave a serious dent on your experience later.

Just my 2000 rupiah.

Leaving Jakarta......finally! Can't stand it here. Rimas!

Bought Bayonetta Climax Edition with Replica gun while in Melbourne, together with Ducati Aviator-style Oakley LE and Jawbone(Fire Iridium + Ice Blue lenses) Oakley shades. My Oakley of nearly 4 years old needs to be retired.

Gun and stand included. If you want my own pic, that will take a while. My place is a mess right now, with constructions "without my approval" happening right now.

Probably as it is. I had not taken it out and examined it closely to see if it is as the picture.

Legion = so-so. Uncensored though, so lots of "f***", "muthaf*****", and graphic violence.

Did not buy that Savage Beast. In real life, the whole thing looks not so good. The "furs" feels like it's slapped on. My wallet sighed in relief.

WTF! Turkey uses lira as currency? And forex here don't stock Turkish Lira? How now?

And have him chase me around town with a big parang like in that Indiana Jones movie.

Kat Indon boleh la buat gitu.

Kenot. Only got Bayonetta replica gun.

But I can't shoot terkangkang like her.

@ajis
When I tembak terkangkang, there's a "fifth" gun.

@viledante
If I say that, he's gonna pancung me straight for ruining his "fantasy"

@Bluey
dunno about LCCT, but KLIA got Airside Transit hotel.

Where can get TvC and NMH2? Like IMMEDIATELY!

One thing I learn about procuring Wii games in KL, you have to be fast, or the stock will be gone just like that! *snaps finger* Popular games like NSMBW are easier to get since they are overstocked, but I'm not sure about these two games. Better be safe than sorry. PA list them as 5-15days, leceh lah.

Oh, and one more thing, today Avatar finally tops Titanic as the highest grossing movie of all time! http://bit.ly/QKTe0 Congratulations!
