Last weekend along with some wonderful friends, we decided to head out to dinner on a Saturday night. After a few margaritas and grub, we were ready to go home. Unfortunately there was not a taxi in sight! Although we were not that far from home, walking through the streets of Jakarta on a busy night was not going to be an option. We contemplated taking the "Ojek" which is the local motorcycle taxi, but two white ladies in dresses on a motorcycle just didn't seem like the best idea either. So our fluently Indonesian speaking friend Jeremy chatted up a bus driver who had his bus parked on the side of the road. Next thing you know, we are hopping into the back of a 1940s beat up old bus for our private ride back to the apartments. Six dollars later, we made quite an impression on the security guards and locals walking by to see four foreigners getting off this old empty bus. Only in Jakarta ....
