The next day after the event, since my flight was in the evening, I had a good stretch of time to explore. The day started with a hearty breakfast.
Walked the grounds of the Shangrila Hotel. Big garden and an impressive pool.
The hotel itself is quite tall.
The large pool set-up. Kids will like it here.
Even though it is already 10 am in the morning, the weather was overcast. Actually I was surprised no one used the pool yet at this time.
I took a taxi to go the the Plaza Indonesia. The biggest mall in the heart of Jakarta. Th top half of this picture is the food section of the mall where most of the restaurants are located.
After a few hours, I went back to the hotel to have a late Japanese lunch and then I proceeded to wait at the lounge before my airport transfer arrives.
While waiting got the chance to sample some chocolate mouse courtesy of the hotel.
Going home in style. A Mercedes E-class will be sending me to the airport.
Just before the flight back, I tried the famous Indonesian coffee "Luwak".
The end.
This blog is used to highlight things I like and stuff I did. A digital diary for sharing.

Invited to Jakarta to present a paper at a conference - 02 - November 2013 - Shangri-La Hotel Jakarta
Please refer to the previous posting.
Traffic getting into Jakarta from the airport was a major pain. Even though it was a Sunday night, it took me close to 1 and a half hours to get to my hotel due to the traffic. Anyway, Shangri-La Hotel was a welcome sight.
I was allocated a room on the executive floor. Nice.
Too big of a room for just one person.
Very earthy colours and concept.
If only the shower head was larger.
Bedroom is very contemporary and filled with local handicraft.
Wood is prominantly used in the room.
Overall, very nice.
The view outside my window. Jakarta at night.
The road in front of the hotel.
To be continued.
