: North Jakarta : :
Once you pass MONAS and the Presidential Palace you enter the part
of the city known as North Jakarta (Kota or Glodok by the locals
and Chinatown by the expats). At one point in time this was THE
CITY (Batavia). Because of it’s location close to the harbour, it’s
all business, as in trading, in this part of town. If you live in
Jakarta and you want to buy a TV, stereo, household appliance, handphone,
pirated CD’s, table saw, generator or anything else this is where
you come.
The oldest historical sites in Jakarta are located here as well
as many of the cities best known amusement parks and nightlife.
When the sun sets there are diversions of every sort from karoke,
massive 3 storey discos, (Raja Mas, the notorious Stadium, Sydney
2000 etc), 'dangdut' bars and intimate 'amusement centres'. Whilst
a day trip to this part of town can be educational and entertaining
a late night trip can be compared to a trip through several layers
of Dante’s inferno. The genuinely curious can often read about someone
else's misadventures in Kota in a Sunday edition of the Jakarta
Post. FYI, in order to remain objective, hotels are listed in alphabetical
order. We don't favor any hotel for any reason.
