 Once
saddled with a reputation as a poverty-ridden hell hole, Jakarta
mutated into a metropolis with all the outward appearance
of an Asian boom town in not much more than a decade. It took
only a week of rioting in May 1998 to reduce some of this
modern façade to a burnt out shell. Shopping malls,
offices, banks and businesses owned by ethnic Chinese and
the ruling Soeharto family took the brunt of the rioters'
anger. Jakarta remains very much at the centre of political
events re-shaping Indonesia, and how quickly the city recovers
from the riots and the political and economic turmoil remains
to be seen.
That said, Jakarta
is the most expensive city in Indonesia, the most polluted
and the most congested. But if you can withstand this onslaught
and afford to indulge in its charms, then it is also one of
the region's most exciting metropolises. Consider Jakarta
the 'big durian' - the foul-smelling exotic fruit that some
can't stomach and others can't resist.
Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta international airport is 35km (21mi)
west of the city centre, and there are bus stations around
the outskirts of town.
Population: 9 million
Area: 661 sq km (258 sq mi)
Country: Indonesia
Time Zone: GMT/UTC +7 hours
Telephone Area Code: +62 21
Orientation
Jakarta, on the island of Java in Indonesia, sprawls over
25km (15mi) from the docks to the suburbs of South Jakarta.
The city centre fans out from around Merdeka Square, a grand,
barren field, which contains the central gold-tipped landmark
of the National Monument (Monas). Jakarta doesn't really have
a centre: rather there are a number of centres all separated
by vast traffic jams, incredible pollution and heat. For most
visitors, the area south of the monument holds most interest.
Jl Thamrin is the main shopping and deluxe hotel thoroughfare,
while just to the east is the main restaurant and cheap hotel
area.
