Beginning of a New Year


Breakfast was fruit and toast served with jam, butter, and chocolate sprinkles. I didn’t try the chocolate sprinkles but based on some breakfasts we have had since then it is a regular thing here. Our plan for the day had been to go and find a grocery store of some kind to get food for the train. Ling informed us that because it was New Years everything would be closed. There was an outlet mall in the city that was supposed to be open according to Ling but when we got there we discovered that it wasn't, so we went back to the Grand Indonesian instead. We sat down in Starbucks and had frappucinos and a bite to eat and then headed back to the hostel. We didn’t really know what to do in Jakarta, everything I have read said enjoy the shopping and then leave, and we weren’t really there to shop so it was a good thing we were leaving the next day. The rest of New Years Day was spent watching movies with the others and sleeping. We went for one last meal at the little place across the road and than off to bed because we had to get up early to catch our train.
