Kuta REALLY sucks - one of the worst places I have ever been. Bali definitely improved once left the area. I liked the place with the black sand beaches, but did not see much else. I was very impressed by the interior of the island when I left, but had no time to stop and really check it out.

I haven't been out much of late because I've been crazy busy but I managed a short walk today when I went to buy a small amplifier for work.
Jakarta's roads are amazing places and extremely dangerous to cross so there are lots of footbridges. People mean business, so little businesses open on on them. You also get beggars.

Never walk down a main road when there's a side road or an alley to explore.
This hidden gem is just outside Kota Tua, right at the top of Glodok.

Yesterday was a chance to unwind, relax, chill out and generally ignore work for once so, on my way to find some things I wanted for work, I noticed this place.

Foreigners must get clearance from TNI Mabes before visiting
Apart from a lot of interesting bits, bobs and a whole wild pile of guns, they have what amounts to a very nice display of old aircraft, that including a very rare British built aircraft from more than a few years ago, one I haven't seen outside a book before yesterday.
As a bit of an aircraft anorak, the trip was worth it just for that one item.
The Skyhawk is lovely and the Mig 21 is great but the Fairey Gannet was the highlight for me.
