Last Jakarta Business Trip for 2025

One more down and probably just one more to go in December. I am then so done with business trips for 2025. 

It was to Jakarta earlier this week and I opted for the earlier flight at 7.40am, so that I would have more time in the office. 

The flight was uneventful. Bfast! 

I went straight to the office this round and only got to the hotel at the end of the day. They only have twin rooms left. Ayana Midplaza is a good and comfortable hotel, so twin room is better than no room. 

I always have their mushroom soup. It is so good. Dinner! 

Ayana has a very nice gym.

The bfast spread is also super nice.

Something special this trip - there was a company lunch in the “old town”. It was about 45 mins drive from the company and we went past Chinatown. 

On all my Jakarta business trips, I have never ventured beyond office and hotel vicinity. Lunch was held in this family owned museum converted to hotel and restaurant. The decor is made up of pieces sourced from various parts of the of Asia. It was chaotic but yet made sense. 

Lunch was good and thus a light dinner. 

It was a short business trip and I flew home on Wednesday night. 

My flight was at 8.20pm but I left for the airport from the site office at about 3.30pm bcos I was further away from the airport and the Jakarta traffic is always unpredictable. In the end, I was at the airport at 5ish. I got rotibioy to tabao home.

I told myself to eat something other than Toast Box. I always have Toast Box but still ended up in Toast Box. A nice teh after 3 days is very much desired. 

I was tempted to eat again on the plane. Luckily, serving was delayed by turbulence, such that there was very little time to eat before the trays needed to be cleared. So I decided to skip. Good for my diet. The flight was good and the middle seat was empty. Hoho.

I finally arrived home after midnight. Zaky was still awake and benefited from the Rotiboy.

All good, all done.
