Di Jakarta

Jakarta is just as macet as it has always been. But with the soccer on, it's also a little bit gila!

One of my challenges was to eat something "gross" - tahu telor looks gross but was enak sekali!

The Jakarta Challenge

Due to DFAT's travel warnings, public schools cannot organise field trips to Indonesia. I will be visiting Jakarta for a few days in the July holidays, and the year nines will be with me... in spirit!

I asked the class to give me "challenges" to complete while in Jakarta. When (if!) I complete them, I will write a post about it, and provide photographic evidence.

Here's some of the challenges so far:

Eat a gross Indonesian delicacy (Brittney & Erin L)

Get a pic of you and a dog with a black spot on his eye (Unknown)

Take a photo with someone famous in Jakarta (Ashleigh)

Find some hair extensions or clip-ins (Jade)

Take a picture while eating a live worm, and bring me a surviiner and the picture (Dennisa)

Eat chocolate icecream (Unknown)

Take a picture of the highest skyscraper in the city (James)

Take a picture of someone with a Superman top on (Erin F)

Go bungee jumping (Zac)

Go swimming, shopping, talk to people (Chantelle)

Buy a voodoo doll (Kyle)

Menjadi pengamen (Richard)

Take a photo with children in Indonesia (Fareshta)

I'm not too sure how I'll go about finding (let alone eating!) a worm in Jakarta (which is a huge, metropolitan city!!). Or becoming a "pengamen" (I might get some strange looks!).

Please comment with some more challenges for me - I only have four days in Jakarta, but I'll try my best to complete them!
