Welcome to Jakarta we have just got here well we actually got here last night
this place looks incredible we're just walking into the old city now um but it's very early in
the morning we've got to find some breakfast. So we don't really know what an Indonesian breakfast
is? But let's find out so we've just reached the main square and it looks European it looks like
doesn't it yeah it's crazy it's like dutch and everything and because they I think they took over
for a period of time but it's so different to Bangkok and other cities we've been to
people seem to be riding these pink bicycles i don't know what that means but they seem to love
it look they're sellers over here trying to get people to rent these bikes with a hat oh maybe
it's the dutch thing because dutch love riding bikes don't they yeah that's probably what it is
just seeing this freshly baked so we can get some baked goods hello hello little kit
packy well we got your healthier choice lots of stuff for sale even got this street performer
here it is european it does feel very european it's crazy how busy it is and it's only 9am
like other countries doesn't it yeah in southeast asia like it's usually quite closed
morning especially in like thailand and places whereas here everyone's on
their bikes on these dutch bikes it's great everyone's up earlier morning people hello
just getting a photo with the boulevard
so we just got swarmed for photos we actually came to a little spot last night and we also had like
what was it 20 like little children school kids come and take pictures with us
it's quite crazy but yeah that happened again but with some older people just wanted photos
which is quite funny to be fair yeah yeah even even the green statue guy is actually staring
at us which is quite funny he's supposed to be still going to go into this little cafe here
yeah it's lovely so we've just come to this lovely little restaurant
it looks so beautiful isn't it it's very cute very cute it's probably quite dutch but to be
fair i've only been to the netherlands once i don't really know but look how cool it looks like
it looks real like rustic kind of cool little cafe and they've got coffee because there's
some cool signs over here so i've actually been to indonesia once before and i was here
for tigulan three months um but amelia this is my first time so it's going to be literally like her
first impressions of the city um which is pretty cool yeah and what do you think of it so far
it's cool i mean we haven't really been in this area so it feels very european
but also i feel like there hasn't been a lot of travelers here recently because everyone seems
to be very interested in us and yeah and wants photos and stuff as you saw well yeah it's cool
and but yeah i do um i've learned some indonesian when i was here last time but i want to learn
more on this trip so our breakfast has just arrived i'm not sure how traditional it is but
it does look amazing look at everything we've got i've got traditional donuts they're probably not
traditional but they taste really good they might be we are in a proper restaurant we've got some
fruit two iced cappuccinos and this amazing nasi goreng with some chicken it looks great
you can't come to indonesia and not eat a nasi goreng it's true you have it everywhere it's
brilliant it's fried rice if you don't know and it's just good i have it all the time
it actually cost a hundred and like 40 000 rupiah so i'll convert that on the screen but now we've
got to go and try and get sim cards and we've got to go to the mall because we gotta like
register with our passports and stuff so that is our mission now go to a modern mall which is
going to be completely different to around here and all these acts which are going on today's

the streets of jakarta so in my hand i actually have three million rupiah i know that sounds like
a lot of money this currency is quite confusing to me because this is 150 pounds but 3 million it
sounds crazy i don't think i've ever experienced a currency like this like what look this is a 100k
100 000 rupiah not pounds i wish it was pounds that would be lovely wouldn't it yeah but
apparently the biggest note here is about five it's like five pounds in the uk which is crazy
which is this 100k yeah this is only equal to five pounds and that's the biggest note so we've got we
got a big wad of money so about to jump in a grab to go to emporium mall to get a sim card
on our way to emporium mall with my grab driver amelia's back there somewhere
there's a silver man there what is he doing
so we just got uh grab bites to the mall it's just here we're going to go inside try and
find our sim card how was that ride amelia i hated it it was a bit scary wasn't it but
we'll be all right we we've survived wow look at this mall this is incredible
so different to where we were the old jakarta look at all the people
it's so busy wow all the all the classic shops there's a starbucks over there
h m unique i never know how to say that i don't know how you say that unique
it's cool it's like we've gone to another city suddenly it feels like kuala lumpur
yeah it's like singapore or somewhere completely different super modern
wow this mall is actually massive look at all the modern escalators and stuff it's just so different
to like the old jakarta where we're staying it's crazy unfortunately they've ran out of sim cards
for like foreigners or something i don't know seem quite complicated so we've got to go to another
mall central park mall to get a sim card this is going to be a long journey but yeah hopefully
hopefully there will get one so we found a blue bird taxi let's see how much it's going to be
let's try and see if they're going to take advantage of us they're probably
going to be more than our grav bikes yeah definitely hello hello central park mall
so we have just arrived in our second mall this is central park mall and it looks massive
doesn't it oh the coffee oh we're gonna get the coffee we're actually oh i've had a coffee
we could get another one we'll get another one even though i'll go crazy
but first let's try and find a sim card because that's the number one priority
this place is actually incredible there's literally like all the
big brands everywhere you've got hugo boss in front of us
basically everything literally everything all those brands it's just so impressive this mall
um yeah so different to the other part of jakarta but pretty cool
wow
so we have just come out to this skywalk viewing balcony you can actually walk along here to the
next mall which looks so cool there's like a little garden over here it's amazing this place
like i don't know it's so modern and different from other parts of jakarta and you know i've
never seen these parts either just so it looks so different it really does but it's so high rise
that building is so tall it's huge this area is just really cool it's called like central park
it's like not quite new york but it's pretty cool pretty cool so we're going to head back to
