Unimaginable Traffic Jam !!

Jakarta -  Upon arrival  @ 4:20 pm, a queue had already built up for immigration; snaking all the way back till your eyes can see.   I moved from the right immigration lane to the left as it was moving faster and cleared both immigration and customs in 1hr.   I would not mind if I did not have a dinner appointment.   Took the taxi and from the minute it left the airport the traffic jam built up all the way to the Hotel and to dinner appointment - it close to 3hrs in traffic when I reach my appointment @ 8:30pm.

The Somerset Berlian apartment was very nice at an exclusive suburbs of Permata Hijau; the big problem is getting taxi.  The apartment is much affordable @ USD125 as compared to hotels of 25% the size in Jalan Gen Sudirman.  Unfortunately, it will be the last time I will stay here because of the inconvenience.  It would be perfect for families and if you are staying there as an expatriate.
