HRC Jakarta (2nd cafe)

After those wonderful days in Bali, I visited Jakarta. In the morning, I met a local collector whom I traded with several times before. He brought many pins from Jakarta & other Asian pins. I could get about 15 pins from him. One of my favorite pin from this trade is Makati city guitar with the name of MANILA.

By the way, I got the most important information from him. That is that HRC Jakarta has been already moved to new location this June. I was so surprised at it, because Official HRC web has not put the info yet. He showed the way to new location with map.

- After he left, I got a taxi for downtown of Jakarta, and visited some places. One of my favorite was MONAS - Monument Nasional.

MONAS 
This tower was so huge as well as gorgeous !!

- After that, I got on taxi, and asked to go to HRC Jakarta. A funny thing was that the taxi driver brought me to Sarinah Department store where HRC Jakarta was located at before, so I explained the driver that new HRC had been located next to Grand Hyatt Hotel. New HRC Jakarta is located at shopping mall called as Entertainment X'nter that is next to Grand Hyatt & Plaza Indonesia Mall.

I really think this location is much better that old one. There were so many people at the mall that had many stores, restaurants, and cinema. HRC was located at 2nd floor.

At the merchandise store, I found 12th anniversary pin whose design come from MONAS tower.

I really think they did good job on this pin.

- And then I had a drink & a dessert there, and could trade many pins with some staffs. All staffs were so friendly, and we could enjoy trading many pins.

By the way, visiting HRC Jakarta meant that my Asian HRC visit was completed now! It was a long way to reach this point, so I really feel great.

- Talking about the life in Bali, I really enjoyed Indonesian foods everyday.
Of course, there were famous fast-food chain like McDonald's & KFC, but I chose to eat Indonesian food everyday. In fact, most of their foods were so good. I liked Indonesian spicy fried rice(Nasi Goreng), Indonesian Fried noodle(Mie Goreng) and Sate with coconut sauce.

- And I also enjoyed the water attraction called as Water Bomb Park near Kuta area. This is like "Wet 'n' Wild" in Orlando, Florida. I could enjoy many sliders, and relax at the pool side. Of course, I could also enjoyed the shopping. I got many T. I really had great holidays here, and of course, I really want to go to Bali again.

HRH Bali

I stayed Bali for 3 days, and of course! at Hard Rock Hotel Bali.


The location of this HRH was one of the best !!
HRH is located Just in front of Kuta beach, so I didn't miss the beautiful sunset,

Kuta Beach 
and we can walk to Kuta Square(Wild shopping area!). In addition, it was very close to the airport. And of course, staying at HRH was great. I could relax at the cool room, and relax at the huge pool with the view of HRC Bali.
