Is it worth purchasing a notebook in Jakarta?

And what pubs are good in Jalan Jaksa?

buy or not, depends on several condition. like what is your purpose in jakarta ? working or traveling ? how long you will be in jakarta ? do you need to bring your personal data ? etc.

I'm gonna go to Jakarta in May. Staying in central and pasar besar. Any good places for sightseeing and photography?

Is the security there safe. How are the taxi rates like? I read blue birds is more trusted.

go to old town or taman mini indonesia indah.

use taxi with meter is best. blue bird in first priority.

Awesome. Will go there then. Btw, what's the average taxi rate in Jakarta. Is it more expensive than Malaysia?

should be lower than malaysia.

choose the recommended taxi
it is Blue Bird, it is famous taxi in big cities in Indonesia.
enjoy your trip

Hey thanks for recommending Blue Bird. It is indeed the most reliable taxi so far. Good service, friendly and price is absolutely reasonable. I went Blue Bird all the way. =)
