CGK : That bule is crazy !
Blok M, here we go again. Top Gun is a place everyone has to check out when going there. This bar is more fun, raunchy and real than any normal, casual bar I have seen so far across whole South East Asia. One major difference in terms of girls is that the babes you see in the bar never are employed by the bar, they are all freelancers – their own boss. There is no barfine like most newbies would expect. I think in general I prefer a freelancer spirit over a bargirl number. It has advantages like having a girl who chose herself to stay with you, paying less maybe and not being hassled with barfines/drinks. Disadvantage is that the girls have their own will if things get messy, you have no place to complain to if you get into trouble somehow and the girls at Blok M are not as tame as the ones in PI and Thailand. The guys are also raw in general. Having a look at the characters at Top Gun, My Bar, D’s, ect…, you experience it’s a very different breed than in PI, Thailand – it’s the true Star Wars bar melting pot of cultures, races and characters….
The only real downer is the beer, I very much dislike Bintang and Heineken. You are forced to drink light beer like Corona and even that you don’t get always, sometimes you find yourself having a Carlsberg in your hand. It is humiliating.
The picture above shows CJ’s where I really had a great time. Hotel Mulia can be a lot fun, it was a mistake that I didn’t check it out earlier. I like it currently more than BATS. Red Square you also see in the video. Today they are celebrating their 5th anniversary. Red Square is always a big gamble, some nights are smashing, some just bore the shit out of you. The video displays Jakarta’s naughty nightlife.
Track of the video is “N.i.C.E.” / DJ Jack Tennis / Berlin Battery. It is a very positive mood track like the entire video :
