Normally you can't even see the blue sky. It's usually covered by pollution and you get grey sky most of the time. This was what happened on a long weekend. This city is actually beautiful when it's not covered by smoke.
While visiting the metropolis of Jakarta I ventured into the countryside and went hiking among the beautiful rice terraces. Not sure exactly where this is, but its an hour outside the city! #hiking

Kuningan is known for its ample dining options, and you can make a stop by Kuningan City Mall and Ambassador Mall while in the area.

Kuningan
The waterways around Jakarta and absolutely filthy, no other word for it. Those responsible for city infrastructure either cannot cope or do not try hard enough. You'll see people swimming in here. Look at the smart new buildings behind. What a contrast!  #water

Great staff, easy check in. We only stayed one night as it was an emergency stop over. The room was more than large! 2 bedrooms, sitting area, with TV, good sized kitchen and very comfortable. You could easily stay here many nights and enjoy your stay. Pleasant, friendly staff.
