ABOUT THE EVENT
Let's play tourists for a day. We're gonna hop on a Free Tour Bus (an EMoney or BCA Flazz card will be needed) and explore the sights around Jakarta City Central. This time we're gonna explore Jakarta Historic Buildings.
It's a two-level bus. We'll begin our journey at Halte Juanda Istiqal. Let's gather there at 4 pm to catch the last bus of the day.
From there, the bus will head to Chinatown. And then Kota Tua, before heading back to Halte Juanda Istiqal. The entire trip takes about an hour, depending on traffic conditions.
Here the meeting point:

If you want to join only for dinner at the venue (see below ๐๐ฝ) it's possible but it's your responsibility to find the group and wait to have a free seat at the restaurant, etc. (the group cannot wait for you!)
We have organised this event before! Take a look here:
ABOUT THE VENUE
After the bus tour, we'll stroll over to Pos Bloc (a roughly 10-minute walk) another historic building in Jakarta. Inside, they have several food stalls. But for now we'll try Dunes Diner, a Lebanese - American Fusion Dinner.
