At that time, I was with the manager and since we were bored, there wasn't much to talk about. I had nothing to say either, so I just stayed quiet. The gentleman kept bringing it up, saying something about a massage. When I said I wasn't interested in a massage, he continued talking. I didn’t respond because I wasn’t interested. When he asked where I was, he seemed to offer something, and I took notes on it. The manager was trying to explain, but both his English and mine were limited, so it was difficult to communicate. When we got to the entrance, I saw an escalator and he mentioned something about the third floor. It could be the third floor or it might not be, but I guess we’ll find out when we go there. I asked if they sold alcohol, and he said they did. I’ll try to experience it for myself. The important thing is that the price is 350,000 rupees for the time.

So, when I think about it, it only costs about 30,000 won, which doesn’t make sense. I mean, even in the past, no matter what, 30,000 won... Anyway, I’m going to try to experience it. I don’t know if this will be made into a video, but regardless, I’m not sure if it will be a tip for you or if it will be an experience when you come to Indonesia. However, if there’s any information I can provide to you, I will go today and have a beer and see how the system works. It’s been a while since I’ve done this, and what I dislike is that it’s a bit scary. Also, I can’t bring a camera there. So when I go to that place, I think it would be better to just take my phone and snap some photos here and there instead of filming. Right now, I think there’s about a 90% chance that I won’t be able to film. So, just in case, I’ll back up.

Since it may be subject to inspection, I will leave the camera behind and just take my phone to avoid taking photos or videos. I will take a picture and explain verbally. I will do my best to find what I'm looking for. Meanwhile, the night view is pretty. I'm not sure if I'm alone, as this isn't a tracking program. Yes, the lobby. Yes, I'm a bit nervous, but it seems calm. There’s a parking officer here. Oh, parking, okay, yes. 

From here on, I won't be able to bring the camera inside, so I will provide detailed information about the pricing of the location. Since I don't have a separate video, I will substitute it with another video. Also, I do not recommend or apply Southeast Asian types. Everything is a matter of personal choice, and I will only provide information. 

First, I departed from the Ashley Wide Hashim Jakarta Hotel, and you can search for it as a classic hotel in Jakarta.

Some places are searchable, so you might find that helpful. There’s a Korean restaurant next to Ashul Wide Simka Tel, so it seems fine to just throw on a light jacket and go. First, you can take a taxi straight to the lobby. When you get dropped off at the lobby, you’ll see two security guards. Just casually greet them with a wave and pass through the main entrance. The main entrance has glass doors, so act like you come here often. Once you open the glass doors, you’ll see two more security guards on the right. Just ignore them and head left where you’ll find an escalator; you can naturally hop on that. 

When you reach the floor, you’ll come across a section blocked by a glass wall curtain. At first, I thought the shops had gone out of business, but I learned that the 2nd and 4th floors are places we can actually visit. It looks like they are rooms. Now, let’s take the escalator back up to the 3rd floor.

When you arrive, turn 180 degrees to your left, and you will naturally see two security personnel. You can approach them casually. If you have a bag, you can go through a light inspection. I had a feeling that it might feel a bit overwhelming, so keep that in mind. Once you enter, you will need to go to the sauna, where you will receive a locker key. This key will be attached to your wrist and has a number on it, just like the picture you see. You must not lose it, as all the system information is stored on that number. Make sure to take care of it, because if you lose it, you might face some trouble. If you think you might forget it, please write the number down or memorize it. Once you enter, a lot of people will rush towards you, but don't be scared. They are like the madams or what we would refer to as mama figures. If there are two or three of them, just head to the standing table.

You can go ahead and sit anywhere since there are seats spread out in the central area. If there are three to four people, there are tables and sofas nearby where you can settle down. I noticed that they also sell drinks and snacks, so you can order from there. The madams, who are attractive women, will come to assist you. It varies, but when I asked, I was told that each madam usually brings around 15 to as many as 30 women. When the madams bring them in, quickly scan the options, and if you like someone, you can invite them to sit next to you. If not, just avoid making eye contact. There were at least several madams when I visited, so you will have plenty of women brought in continuously. Make sure to scan quickly and make your selection. What I noticed during my visit is that they don't serve drinks.

It seems that those who are drinking might not need to drink alcohol, and just watching could be fine as well. I ordered a bottle of alcohol, but before I could even finish it, I was quickly taken away. It seemed clear that the purpose of the madam was that. The price per person for one woman was 350,000 rupiah. I didn't experience it, but when it's one person, one session lasts for an hour. If two people choose to go together, it can take up to an hour and a half. The price of 350,000 rupiah is a little less than 30,000 won in our currency. And since two people can also choose, it was said to be 500,000 rupiah, which converts to about 42,000 won. It has quite a bit of quality. However, I wonder if what we think will actually match the reality if two people go together.

가격 면에서는 매우 매력적으로 보입니다. 제가 지금은 그렇지 않지만, 10년 전에 태국을 여행할 때 그 문화를 많이 접했습니다. 그때 느낀 것은, 여기야말로 천국이라는 것이었습니다. 그렇다면 마지막으로 문제가 될 수 있는 것은 와꾸일 것입니다. 개인적으로 방콕의 태나 워킹 스트리트를 비유하자면, 절대 떨어지지 않는다고 판단했습니다. 이 부분은 제 채널에서도 다룰 수 있을 것 같습니다.

자, 그럼 술을 시켰다고 가정해 봅시다. 술을 가져왔을 때 영수증도 같이 가져오고, 거기에 사인을 해 주는 방식입니다. 여러분들이 직접 사인을 해 주셔야 합니다. 그렇게 되면 본인이 소지하고 있는 번호표에 저장이 되고, 2차 비용 또한 같은 방식으로 저장됩니다. 모든 일을 마친 후에는 본인이 소지하고 있는 번호표를 들고 입구에서 맞은 편으로 가시면, 유리막이 있는 부스가 하나 있는데, 바로 거기가 계산대입니다. 번호표를 주면...

You will receive a receipt and an additional wooden board. You can simply throw away the receipt, and when you leave, please hand the wooden board at the entrance. The business hours are from 12 PM to 6 AM, so please keep that in mind. This should be quite easy, right? 

As you go back down to the first floor, there is a club. I haven’t entered because I’m a bit short on cash, but if I were to make a reasonable guess, I would think that the third floor and the first floor might operate under a similar system. If anyone has been there or is planning to go, please leave a comment for me. 

When you exit the lobby, if you go down to the left, there will be a security guard. If you look to the right from the road, you will see a line of taxis. Instead of worrying about the narrow roads, it might be better to just call a Grab to get back to your accommodation. For those planning a summer vacation and feeling tired of Vietnam or Thailand...

I made a video this time. I traveled to Indonesia from June 1st to June 8th. I spent two nights in Jakarta and four nights in Yogyakarta. After that, I returned to Jakarta for one night. During that time, the taxi driver provided me with some information, which I visited directly. Unfortunately, I wanted to visit again, but it was almost midnight, so I decided to just plan for the next trip. It's been a while since I shared a cultural story, and I would appreciate your subscriptions and likes. Please watch my next travel destination, which is Indonesia, and if I visit another country, I will bring back even better information, so you can look forward to it. Thank you for watching!
