Finally after a year of preparation, the whole family went on an Asian tour which covered Indonesia (ID), Malaysia (MY) and Singapore (SG). My friend went to SG recently and spent exactly the same amount (about P120,000) for the same number of people. Our tour covered 3 key cities in Asia for the same cost but we had to sacrifice on some expenses. I may have used the term sacrifice but a more apt term is adventure. In ID, accommodation was through a very, very good friend SLS. In MY, the accommodation killed our budget BUT the package included land transfers, breakfast and a city tour so that sort of off set it. In SG, our hotac was a measly P3600 a night at Lloyd’s Inn, ate meals at carinderia’s, rode the MRT a lot and walked a lot.
Our airline of choice was PAL (Phil Airlines). It was not exactly a maiden flight but the Manila to Jakarta route was just 20 days old. The lone flight was scheduled at 9PM and we arrived in Jakarta a few minutes past midnight. We were picked up at the airport by my friend SLS. The airport wasn’t as impressive as the relatively new NAIA but the “not so nice” perception about ID practically ended there. Day 2 is a totally different picture of Jakarta.
