Hey, friend in Jakarta! Now that you joined JakFri... **are you a member of [Jakarta Creatives](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-creatives/) yet?** Want to see **pictures** of past events? **[Take a look here!](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-friends/photos/)** And feel free to upload a few pictures you might take at the event 😊

JakFri and JakCre is **THE** biggest, most active, and most inclusive MeetUp community in Jakarta... and we invite you to join us for this **strolling around Blok M!** Let's have a bite or a drink (or both!) – we'll gather and decide together what to do.

Everyone is always welcome to join our events. Our community is all about creating authentic in-person connections in this urban jungle.
Come as you are... it’s the best version of yourself.

**ABOUT THE EVENT**

We can stroll around the Japanese neighbourhood, enjoy some street food, see the buzzing night life around M BLoc Space and Taman Literasi, and explore many of the parks, bars or cafés nearby! Let's just gather and decide together what to do. Arrive anytime in the evening, although if you come after 8 you'll need to find and follow everyone. Come early to decide where to go!

We have been around the area for many events before! Take a look here:
