good morning from central jakarta right now i'm on my way to go drop off some laundry
because i've been uh i haven't done it yet so it's piling up gotta get that taken care of so hello
i think he's asking for some food i don't got food i got laundry but
i'm gonna go drop it off and then after that we're gonna go down to the national monument
and just uh hope that it's open because the last two times I've been in Jakarta
it's been closed so let's go drop this off first shall we
oh
okay so let's do three coins what do you think
three coins four coins four coins okay we'll do four coins
uh okay yeah so they'll fold the clothes for seven cents deal all right
seventy cents, not seven, seventy cents. still, what you're doing your laundry here in central Jakarta
is like four times as much as bali two hours okay thank you
doesn't look like there's too many people around here i figure if it was
open they'd have street vendors and stalls open all over here not looking good not looking good
but this is kind of where it all started in one of my first videos last year some guy approached
me wanted to sell me some water or a drink and what happened was i ended up giving him some
Malaysian money that i didn't know i had i think i might have given him like 10 or 20 dollars and
i didn't realize i had that in my wallet at the time i think i've been to bali a couple
times before the this last trip and i'm guessing when i was in the kuala lumpur
airport i converted some money and i just you know mix it in with my indonesia money that
i had left over and so when that guy sold me that bottle i gave him that apparently
he lucked out. is it open or closed oh my gosh i know again
i know but the malls are open shops open but this is outside right right what's right
when will it open soon i don't know you don't know ah okay thank you so much
third time that sucks i mean i don't get it the malls are open the uh you know the shops are open
you can all you have to do is show your vaccine papers and you can
get in and they have the app set up now i mean this is outside i don't see why
you know i was able to go to Borobudur temple couldn't go up the stairs
you know to uh to see all the relics and all the niches and all the buddhas up there at the top but
you can still go up to the temple
i don't see why they're not allowing people to at least walk around the grounds you know
oh well what are you gonna do what you gonna do
it's closed
i wonder if this is the guy that sold me the water
it's closed. nationality? i'm american
why do you want to see your embassy? big
see what i did uh i have seen it already it's in the area huh yeah don't be sorry
you clever you know your embassy and now they have one place open for tourism
okay how many days? how many? my quarantine yeah when you're right
oh really
oh they had the suitcases out oh really, that's what I was doing
are you 27 you look young i wish i was 27. this is my teeth
i fell off my motorbike. oh you fell yeah long time ago. I met the u.s girl she have two kids
she's married with Balinese guys I think better now you must go to the harbor now
i went to Sunda Kelapa but... i'm gonna head this way thank you sir it was nice to meet you
i don't know it's just sometimes you just feel like they're coming up to you and I hate thinking
this you know like they're coming up to you because they're looking for money you know
especially after a couple days ago in Sunda Kelapa when i was singing karaoke
and at the end they're like oh yeah give us some money oh this is how much it cost
not cool not cool so unfortunately you kind of have to just keep your guard up you know
that looks pretty damn good i am i am
that's okay all right
i don't think i need that
no spicy no life though right but they tell me all the time oh
oh yeah that's going to be good
and a little messy too
oh man oh
man some pretty damn good chicken right there
nice and juicy packed with flavor yo that's good a little messy though a
little messy get some tissues i know they give you some lettuce and some cucumbers
I should have had him play a little longer I still got some tea left
you can just tell the food quality around here is so much better than it was at Kota Tua
I met a guy named Rezka he was a traffic warden
spoke really good english and we were chit-chatting he was like yeah the food
around here isn't that good you know they just come out here and try to make anything they can
uh there's no heart in it you know so it's kind of like carnival food or fair food or
you know just your generic kind of stuff places like that maybe a little bit better quality
they're doing some sort of filming here
maybe for a commercial or there's a pretty badass BMW right here that's super clean
all right so i figured it out a guy came up and talked to me and told me that it's a
they're filming for a tv show called uh Anak Jalanan Reborn
they didn't ask me if they needed an extra come on now thank you very much have a good day
all right looks like we're good to go, got some clean drawls, finally uh-oh don't run me over
all right so when I was walking back earlier i walked by this corner place and some people in
here were eating some delicious looking noodles so it's packed right now though okay mister come here
um
smells delicious
look at that
alright so
I'm guessing there's some sort of chicken noodle soup and uh these look like wonton basically
with some bakso, some sort of meatball, i wonder if there's anything
it's kind of just dry noodles there's no sauce in there, i'm guessing i need to mix in some chili sauce
ketchup
people tell me not to eat the tomato sauce apparently, it's not good for you but i don't know
just gotta mix it all up
one of the first places i've seen it actually has chopsticks so i love it
not bad not bad it's kind of plain noodles
let's add some more sauce to this
oh yeah there we go add some color to it
add a little bit of soy sauce flavor let's try the uh the wontons
there's some kind of meat inside, I'm not really sure what
nice soft meatball that's good
okay give me two minutes I'm gonna finish yourself
i don't want to film the whole time and like cause the scene you know
glodok electric electronic oh
the building is near here okay behind this building is all right thank you sir
okay next thing on today's agenda we're gonna try to get my uh phone fixed not fixed just get a sim card
for it and uh we're also gonna see if i can get some pocket wi-fi that's the plan hello hello
because up until now i've just been walking around and anytime i'm out of my hotel or anywhere
out outside i don't have any connection so i'd like to have a phone i'd like to have wi-fi
just in case you know i think that's it, Sarinah
oh it's not open yet
do you do have pocket wifi?
the sim card is maybe expire so for like three or four dollars i'm gonna be able to get a car for
16 gigabytes all right so that's one out of two things that i uh was able to get accomplished
I'd like to get my uh my phone set up at a little more legit looking place or maybe have somebody
with me that speaks indonesia that can help me translate make sure i'm doing it right so
that's not too important right now as long as i have wi-fi
you don't really see that very often in the middle of Jakarta, a chicken, are you kidding me
that's a big ol bird too
wow
you know you see that all the time in the countryside when you're in bali and whatnot but
not in the middle of jakarta
i wonder if it's somebody's pet, has to be
but I think that's just about going to do it for this video
i hope wherever you are you're doing well you're staying safe
i hope you're enjoying this indonesian part two series i definitely enjoy reading all
your comments i apologize if i don't get to all of them and respond to every single one of them but
i do read every comment and uh i appreciate all your support hopefully we'll continue to make some
interesting videos it's been fun so far that's for sure but soon i'm gonna be heading down to bandung
for maybe a week or so i haven't really made up my mind you know i don't really have any plans
any set plans on this journey look at that house
y'all need a roommate it's pretty white isn't it
i don't really have any set plans necessarily I'm just kind of slowly
making my way towards Bali and then once i finish up with Bali probably go to Lombok
and then maybe Flores maybe go up to Manado and uh Sulawesi and maybe go to Sumatra eventually
we'll see we'll see leaving it open leaving it open so hey how are you
i just kind of wandered onto a really nice block
look at these places
look at that stained glass up there that's a nice place
this place kind of looks abandoned no maybe not
there are some nice areas in Jakarta that's for sure
but okay let's end the video thank you for watching and I'll see you in the next one peace
