Tips : If you are a business who just arrive in Indonesia, maybe your employees expect you to show up at the office to meet people there. And if you want to look around the city, you can order an English-speaking taxi driver. But, if you are not lucky enough, you can find a nearby taxy after memoring some vocabulary. Just mention to the driver neighborhood of the shopping mall, or the hotel or apartment you live. For example, mention the well-known areas in Jakarta such as Kebayoran Baru, Blok M, Jalan Thamrin, Kemang, Pondok Indah and some others. Remember the local pronunciation of the hotel or shopping mall since you need to get back home.
