Glad you're enjoying Jakarta... and go...Hi sL! Glad you're enjoying Jakarta... and good luck with the pregnancy and delivery! RS Pondok Indah was excellent, I had no problems with the whole pregnancy, the delivery and the recovery period. If you are living close enough to Pondok Indah, you should consider it.<br /><br />Yes, Malaysia can learn a lot from Indonesia. Indonesians (the ones I know) are much more liberal and tolerant and they seem to have a wider perspective of the world. They are also much friendlier and they love children... wait till your little one is born, you will have many Indonesians smiling at you and your baby. <br />Can't say I miss the macet and pollution. LOL But I do miss the luxury of being chauffered around and having someone to deal with all the shopping and parking! Enjoy Jakarta... and I hope you see more of the country than I did, I found travelling difficult because of the pregnancy.Mrs Top Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10748775581211289207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346950212325798364.post-37996176260450956322011-05-11T02:03:39.114-07:002011-05-11T02:03:39.114-07:00Hello there, I know it's an old post but I sha...Hello there, I know it's an old post but I shared so much same thinkings as yours. So could not help but leaving some words here as a token of my appreciation. <br />I've been staying in this city for half a year now, after moving here last year to join my hubby who's working as an expat. Lots of culture shocks. But lots of fun too. I still remember how grateful I was when first time tasting the roasted duck & har-gau in Grand Duck King. But of course I still could not find my dreamed Nasi Lemak Sotong, Bak Kut Teh, and Penang Hokkien Mee yet. I will continue my food hunt. :) <br />I was just pregnant now and if no big changes, I am sure my future bb will be delivered here too. What an exciting news! :P <br />When I came back to Msia during some short trips, I could not help but telling everyone that there are so many things we can learn from Indonesia, especially the service level. Even the guards in our condo are more professional than majority of our msian customer service officers or shopkeepers. They are more helpful, informative, and always ready to greet u and smile. <br />Regardless the macet & air pollution, I actually have many fond memories about this city :)sLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346950212325798364.post-18020005610055370542010-01-30T06:41:51.022-08:002010-01-30T06:41:51.022-08:00PB: Eh don't worry about it, you didn't m...PB: Eh don't worry about it, you didn't miss much!
