Very clear, aakumu has vested business in this business. I have cheong too long and in too many places to smell an agent. But when he started painting a War Zone in JKT, that got to my nerves. It broke loose when Naemlo found his Cheating FR.

Again, hopefully he wakes up to the fact that there are many old birds in this forum and not easy for him to hoodwink any members here.

We all need a guide, we dont mind paying ( since I still pay if I go Myanmar and Laos). But do it transparently.

Yup.. Just admit lor hor...

When I open a Saloon plus plus in Jakarta years back... Every FR I wrote regards the place clearly indicate I m one of the 10 share holder...

Too bad as mentioned. Overselling kills as when we were into our 3rd month of operation, we posted a profti and when the share holder decide to spit that money. The place was raid and the profit when to bail out our 2 staffs.

Later it was sold to some police officer.....

Sigh...

Very true..sad to say.

Newbies only contact us when they need us to guide them, fetch them to/fro, save cost for them, recommend "ang pai" gils for them (cos they want to make sure their money well spent...even though, my principle, we never earn a single rupiah fm them). End of the trip, juz a "thank u" fm them. Well occasionally they will say "hi" over at SBF. But most of the time after the bonking trip, tat would be the last we heard fm them.

Hi bro,
The sex travel company, does the same service (coos they want to make sure their money well spent...even though, my principle, we never earn a single rupiah fm them) not a dime from the girls/pimps and venues, but we charges them a fee for our services and knowledge. The rest the client pay on their own.

That is not how I deal with my sex travel company and I am sure that their other clients are not like that, I have travel in a group with past clients of the company, they seem to be very tight with the handlers and other clients.
I guess they know where to draw the line between business and friendship, if it is clear, the clients will keep coming back, like me.

My humble two cents.

Hi bro,
Some safety tips from the Austrailian GOV'T.

Safety and Security
Terrorism

Terrorism is a threat throughout the world. You can find more information about this threat in our General Advice to Australian Travellers.

We advise you to reconsider your need to travel to Indonesia due to the very high threat of terrorist attack. Ask yourself whether, given your own personal circumstances, you're comfortable travelling to Indonesia knowing there is a very high threat from terrorism and you may be caught up in a terrorist attack. Ask yourself whether travel could be deferred or an alternative destination chosen. If, having considered these issues, you do decide to travel to Indonesia, you should exercise extreme caution.

There have been recent arrests of high level terrorist operatives in Indonesia, but we assess terrorists are continuing to plan attacks. These attacks could take place at any time. You should be particularly vigilant during holiday periods such as Easter and Christmas.

Indonesian authorities warned terrorists may be planning to kidnap foreigners.

Attacks against Westerners in Bali and Jakarta indicate that these areas are a priority target for terrorists. Suicide attacks against locations frequented by foreigners in Bali and Jakarta such as the 1 October 2005 and 12 October 2002 Bali bombings and bomb attack outside the Australian Embassy in Jakarta in September 2004 killed and injured many people. Westerners were also targeted in the bombing of a five-star hotel in central Jakarta in August 2003. We cannot rule out the possibility of another attack targeting Westerners, including Australians.

In planning your activities, consider the kind of places known to be terrorist targets and the level of security provided at venues. You should take particular care to avoid places known to be terrorist targets. Tourist areas and attractions throughout Indonesia and tourists travelling to or from these places, including those in tour groups or tour buses, could be targeted. Other possible targets include international hotels, clubs, sporting clubs and venues, restaurants, international fast food outlets, bars, nightclubs, cinemas, theatres, Jakarta's embassy district and diplomatic missions elsewhere, international schools, expatriate housing compounds and Western interests and businesses. Places frequented by foreigners, central business areas, office buildings, churches and other places of worship, airlines, airports, public transport and transport hubs, shopping centres, premises and symbols associated with the Indonesian Government, and outdoor recreation events are also potential targets.

Due to security concerns, security at the Australian Embassy in Jakarta and the Consulate-General in Bali is at a high level. The Australian Embassy has advised its staff and their families to be particularly careful in how they travel or walk to and from the Embassy.
Civil Unrest/Political Tension

Political rallies, protests and demonstrations occur regularly. Most are publicised in advance and are often held near the Presidential Palace, major government buildings and embassies. You should avoid protests, demonstrations and rallies as they can turn violent with little notice. You should also maintain a high level of vigilance and security awareness.

The outcomes of judicial processes, including trials of extremists and the implementation of sentences, could prompt a strong reaction from their supporters such as demonstrations and acts of violence.

International events and political developments may prompt demonstrations in Indonesia.

Crime

Petty crime is common and robberies are increasing. Violence is sometimes used. Thieves on motorcycles commit 'snatch theft' of handbags from pedestrians. Thefts from cars stopped at traffic lights have been reported and tourists have been robbed while repairing car tyres punctured by criminals.

Fraud: Credit card and ATM fraud is increasing. You should monitor transactions statements and only use ATMs in secure locations such as banks, shops or malls.

Drink spiking: There have been reports of tourists being robbed after bringing back visitors to their hotel rooms. In some cases, the victims' drinks were spiked. Foreigners have died after consuming brand name alcohol adulterated with methanol bought from 'black market' traders.

Taxis: Cases of robbery and temporary confinement involving taxis have been reported in urban areas, particularly in Jakarta. Victims have been forced to withdraw funds from credit or debit cards at ATMs to obtain their release. Lone female travellers appear most vulnerable. You should only use official taxi companies that can be booked by phone or from stands at major hotels and from inside the airport. You should check taxis carefully as unscrupulous operators have taxis that look similar to those run by reputable companies.
Local Travel

Public transport, including buses, rail and ferries, are crowded, poorly maintained and have limited safety equipment.

Airline Safety

Passengers on international flights to and from Australia are only allowed to carry a small amount of liquids (including aerosols and gels) in their carry-on baggage. You can find out more information at the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government website. Similar restrictions apply to flights in an increasing number of countries. Contact your airline for further information.

If you have concerns about the safety standards of a particular airline or aircraft, we recommend you research the airline or aircraft through organisations such as Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). The Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government has published fact sheets on security for air travellers.

The United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) through its foreign assessment program focuses on a country's ability, not the individual airline, to adhere to international standards and recommended practices for aircraft operations and maintenance established by ICAO. The FAA has determined that Indonesia's Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is not in compliance with ICAO safety standards for the oversight of Indonesia's air carrier operations. For more information, visit the FAA website. The US embassy in Jakarta has advised Americans travelling to and from Indonesia to fly directly to their destination on international carriers whenever possible.

The European Union (EU) has published a list of airlines subject to operating bans or restrictions within the EU. On 4 July 2007, all Indonesian airlines were banned from operating in the EU.

CASA assesses the safety of all aircraft flying within, to and from Australia. CASA has certified Garuda International to operate flights between Australia and Indonesia. CASA cannot assess the safety of any Indonesian carriers operating within Indonesia or to countries other than Australia.

Indonesia's DGCA assesses the operational performance of Indonesia's commercial airlines. The results of this assessment can be found in Indonesian on the DGCA website.

Australian Embassy officials are advised to use discretion when considering which airline provides the best travel options, to use the DGCA assessment as a point of reference and to consider travelling with international carriers where possible. When staff at Australia's overseas missions are advised not to use particular airlines due to safety concerns, this will be included in the travel advisory.
Money and Valuables

Before you go, organise a variety of ways to access your money overseas, such as credit cards, travellers' cheques, cash, debit cards or cash cards. Check with your bank whether your ATM card will work overseas.

Make two photocopies of valuables such as your passport, tickets, visas and travellers' cheques. Keep one copy with you in a separate place to the original and leave another copy with someone at home. You should carry a copy of your passport with you for identification purposes.

While travelling, don't carry too much cash and remember that expensive watches, jewellery and cameras may be tempting targets for thieves.

You should only use licensed money changers and count the cash given to you.

As a sensible precaution against luggage tampering, including theft, lock your luggage. Information on luggage safety is available from the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.

Your passport is a valuable document that is attractive to criminals who may try to use your identity to commit crimes. It should always be kept in a safe place. You are required by Australian law to report a lost or stolen passport. If your passport is lost or stolen overseas, report it online or contact the nearest Australian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate as soon as possible.

You are required to pay an additional fee to have a lost or stolen passport replaced. In some cases, the Government may also restrict the length of validity or type of replacement passports.

I hope this help, if and when you are traveling to this beloved country.
My humble two cents.
