We were told NOT to travel here (Is it that bad?!) 

Just a few years ago, I was an accountant struggling through the 9-5. I escaped that life by making videos just like this and so can YOU.

Honestly, Jakarta is one of the best cities I've lived in. Great food (seriously all cuisines mostly cause the food scene there is renowned), the shopping and the malls are to die for! Super friendly people and you receive such prestigious quality at a much lower price compared to other countries (food, cinema, spa, salon etc). Hope more people visit Jakarta! there's a ton of places to go that wasn't shown in this video

I've been to Jakarta!!! I miss it... Stayed at Sudirman Residences. Sampai Jumpa! From the Philippines... 🇵🇭

Why is everyone told to not travel to my country? It's not that bad...

My hometown..... now i live in USA and i miss Jakarta every day. Anyway, i love your vlogs!!

Jakarta is being hated because of the frequent floods and highly traffic jam.

I wish Corona virus never began. I'm stuck in house watching people traveling wonderful places makes happy and sad at the same time. My deepest condolences to families, friends and loved ones affected from coronavirus. God bless you all and stay safe.

I like to hear that you are trying your best to speak Bahasa!

Been living in Jakarta for 2 years, was the best time so far. So diverse, beaches, islands nearby, just the traffic sucks.

I heard the same thing. I went anyway and really glad I did. Lots of great food to discover but what really blew me away is the people. They are possibly the friendliest I have ever encountered anywhere. I'm looking forward to going back to Indonesia and seeing more of it someday.

I went to Jakarta a year ago for vacation and loved it! Surprised to hear it's a place "one shouldn't go". Except for yeah... traffic sucks

I love when people say don't go to XYZ...that means there are usually some awesome experiences to be had, great people to meet, and a new perspective to embrace that widens your own. I hope to visit Indonesia one day, as well, and explore everywhere people say not to go 😁

Try going in off season, no ones there and you have the place to your self

The good things you will find in Jakarta and near city : 1. Amazing food ( there are many option food from all over Indonesian archipelago, western food etc), cool cafe and restaurant 2. Vibrant city 3. Interesting Museums ( National Museum, Macan Museum, Bank Mandiri Museum etc) 4. Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII) a place where you can learn about Indonesia in one day, huge park with traditional houses from all provinces in Indonesia and also some museums 5. Tourism spots : National Monument, Istiqlal Mosque (the largest Mosque in SEA), Kota Tua (Old City), DUFAN (Theme Park) 6. Shopping experiences ( Jakarta has hundred Malls and Shopping center) 7. Beautiful 1000 islands ( Kepulauan Seribu) 8. Setu Babakan, traditional cultural village - a place to learn about Betawi Culture 9. Bogor Botanical Garden in Bogor 10. Taman Safari Bogor in Bogor (one of the best zoo in SEA)

Great vlog. Very real! I personally think I’d love Jakarta

I went to Jakarta back in 2016 to visit a friend of mine, and I most say I got in love with the city, and I even love Jakarte more than Bali to this date...Bali was just to touristy and over priced for me...

So glad you visited Jakarta, I've always been serious about that city, since it's not mentioned to much, only the negatives, it makes me want to visit it even more.

You might see the bad things from Jakarta, but trust me you will find a lot of great things to discover....I'm living in Jakarta and I love it...

best honest review video of Jakarta so far, some videos are just overrated or underrated when it comes to Jakarta but for someone who has been living in this city for my whole life, I love this city, and how you describe it! Good job!

I don't really understand why you were told not to visit this fantastic city! Jakarta, Indonesia was the first place in Asia I had ever visit and I had a really good impression Asia! Also, I enjoyed this city more than Bangkok. @3:58 I have a picture of that guy in front of that boat at the same location. So cool to see this place again.

Christian, we still waiting for you to come to #Belitung, one of 10 new Bali. It's just north of thousand islands, 50 minutes flight from Jakarta. Let us khow if you have plan to visit, happy to host you 😊

Loved it. I'm happy you finally show different sides and places of Indonesia. 17.000 Islands. Not only Bali. Good for you to learn bahasa Indonesia. You'll see. As you start to learn bahasa Indonesia (even a bit) and travel to different places all over this huge and diverse country, you'll have incredible experiences. You will learn that people outside of the tourist-industry are even more friendly,happy and warm hearted. Enjoy your stay/life in Indonesia ✌

Great tips on experiencing Jakarta. For a second, I thought you guys were going on the big boat! My kids loved it when you "jump" through the boat window. 😆 If we listen to all the people telling us not to do XYZ, our lives would be so dull! Keep on exploring, Christan and Katy!

Thank you for introducing Indonesia to the world 🤗🥰

Congrats Christian. This had that oldschool feel to it, that I've been missing for a long time on this channel.

What's best in Jakarta: - Food - Cinema (cheap but luxury) - Cafe and nightlife But as an greater Jakarta citizen, we prefer go to Bandung.

I will visit Jakarta soon.. it will be my first time experience to visit Indonesia. Hope the everything back to normal before pandemic. *fingercross From Bangkok.

Huge fan of yours. Love your videos! Your work is so inspiring.

Been there twice and loved it, except for the time I almost got t-boned on a motorcycle. I played soccer for a few months. Humidity was the only difficult part and I'm from Ottawa.

I am from kochin and for the last six years i am visiting jakarta coz i love more than my country and i miss jakarta and nasi padang very much

I really appreciate what you have done on this video. Thank you, and God bless you always wherever you are. Stay safe and healthy!

Hey Christian. I remember when I was in 2nd year college I saw your travel vlog on a go pro camera in the Philippines, I was more likely 17 that time now I'm 23 and OMG you grew so fast it unbelievable. You are one of the people who inspired me to do travel vlogging but took me 5 years to FINALLY push myself to pursue what I really wajt and that is to do my own channel. I know it's 2020 and I know there is a lot of vloggers to catch up with. I hope *crossfingers* it's not too late. BTW I'm. Always watching your video.

This is so inspirational❤️Motivates me to keep doing the things I love and am passionate about because one the the hard work will pay off☺️✨

I visited Jakarta 11 years back loved it, will visit Bali soon.

Your video editing skills r getting really good, nice job!

Finally, you visited Jakarta, Chris, even for few days. Hope you enjoyed. Since you have been living in Bali, i think you should visit Jakarta again in the future to explore more. Cheers

I am Jakartan living in Bangkok and Manila. And your video really made me feel homesick for the vibrant and chaotic Jakarta

Beautiful city! Want to visit this city because of this vlog!

Just watched your vlog 2 days ago, and really like every video you've shared, humble to local people is one of the most point I like, makes everyone watching want to get out to travel, thank you dude, nice greet from Lombok, Indonesia, hope one day you can come here

awesome! i really love both of you guys

Wooo love watching you and Katy!

I've always wondered what Jakarta was like! Seems like no one goes there despite Indonesia being the top of everyone's bucket list! Also, your lens is looking a little dirty, haha!

I'm an Indonesian, for me personally, Jakarta is my last choise for travelling, just simply because its very crowded and the traffic jam are crazy. Thankyou for saying nice thing about Jakarta 😅 Usually people just go straight to Bali when they come to Indonesia And yeah, thousand islands (pulau seribu) is a wonderfull place, try to stay little longer and explore that place more 😁 And I think only in Jakarta you could find food from around the country 😅 Nice to see your vid, and stay safe. I hope this Covid can end soon.

Greetings from Jakarta! 🙌. I can relate to so many things you've described here haha. And all the shots are nicely put, good job!

Staying in home and watch loste leblanc .happy time for me😊

i am just thinking when you will upload new video and now it's here , thank you for making these video i enjoy and learn about the world and this is the one of my favourite channels since 4 months, god bless us keep up the great work.

I love the way you guys having fun

My beloved hometown 😍 take care and stay safe! ❤️🙏🏻

Be careful with coronavirus , greetings from Italy 🇮🇹

I’m living in Italy now and I miss everything about my country :(. Nasi padang just can’t be replaced💜

Great video and awesome coverage of Jakarta!

Immediately fell in love with your channel!

amazing experience😍! love it ! cannot wait we can keep going our traveling but are are stuck in china a little bit) our traveling now is to go to a shop to buy some food and come back stay at home several days more) hiding from coronavirus😑 hope you are safe ! people stay healthy 👍

Dude! Welcome to my homeland, Jakarta, Indonesia! I hope you enjoyed your time before the C Virus! Cheers!

waoo. congratulation chris! all i have to say, those things are truly jakarta , LOL.. actually, i pretty amazed of what you did , you took a day trip to the island then went to the exhibition center and rushed to the airport. WOW! During the end of the year until feb, usually Jakarta has the wet season. Middle of the year is the perfect one, this is applied to all java island too. Thank you for coming to J-Town.

Your editing is on another level wow!

Mantap bro.. You should collab with Indonesian RU-vidr Next time,, Support from Jakarta!

I thought the OMAN video would come out now, but still happy because it's a great video !!!

I started my Indonesia trip from Jakarta. Spent 36 hours in the city and had some really nice experiences. Made some great local friends that I'm still in touch with. Oh btw, I headed across Java from there and to Tumpak Sewu, Bromo and Ijen because I had seen your vlogs just weeks before that. (Talking of Sept 2018 times). And yes, VLOGGED it all too :D

I love Indonesia! And btw love your videos Dude! Informative, entertaining, never banal and incredibly weil done.

Glad you visit Jakarta. adding more Indonesian destination. maybe shd add "Jakarta" in title

Yea, it announced that apparently all districs in Jakarta already has covid19 suspects. I have feeling next week probably the gov would lockdown Jakarta and Bali. People asked gov to lockdown. Today a lot of local govs in Indonesia announced that they are going to close schools, public areas, museums, etc.

Even with the Corona Virus affecting most world travel, it's good to see that we are still able to see what's happening in other parts of the world due to your videos. Stay safe. Keep moving.

Such a cool area to see! Gonna have to figure out a way to get there easily.

notification squad ! haha interesting, seems like many opposites like clean/dirty . Looks better then worse but i guess like everywhere in the world that cinema was so nice haha :P

hey! I live there . my house is close to sundakelapa, it only takes 5 minutes to get there. welcome to jakarta terima kasih for visited my city

*beautiful trip, I appreciate the creation of content*

I am from Halifax NS and have been living in Jakarta for 10 years now. The city obviously has issues like all cities do but its my home now and I love it. The people are geniunely kind and pleasant. Don't feel bad, I have been here 10 years and my Bahasa Indonesia sucks.

I am wondering why some people told you to not travel to Jakarta. Jakarta is a megapolitan city, offers many high and world class standard attractions, accommodations, restaurants, and many other things. It has many things to offer and it is better than Manila, your favorite city.

I'm a lil bit surprise u just found out abt this. Btw, tampan means handsome 😅

Thank you for visiting Jakarta. Kudos to you and Kathy :-)

Thank you so much for this beautiful video

Love u guys!!! #goals
