A day in Singapore
Sometimes it is necessary to leave Indonesia. My business visa is only valid for 60 days. After this time, I must go. The best way to extend the visa is: Flying to Singapore and get a new one. Singapore is not far from Jakarta. It can be reached in about 2 hours by plane and it's a beautiful Stadt.Es is so chaotic, crowded and polluted city like Jakarta. No taxi driver tries to cheat you. No traffic jams. Everything is perfectly organized. Much too much, but if you come after 60 days of Jakarta, you'll love it!
The airport is one of the most beautiful in the world. He sit very clean. There are many places where you can spend your time. The furnishings in the public part of the airport is better than in many executive lounges at other airports in the world. There is free internet and free phone calls to the city.
Arrived at the airport, we arrange to meet with a mediator of us will get a new visa within 4 hours. We meet him at the Orchid Hotel. It is 10 clock. After we handed him our passports and one passport photo, we have to spend 4 hours time in the city. A walk through Singapore's most famous street, the Orchard Road, illustrates the differences between Jakarta and Singapore. There are well-kept sidewalks. No one throws his shit on the street. You can not see the air that you breathe. You can sit in street cafes to spend his time. In many of you have wireless access. There are a lot of green in the city and there is no problem to spend 4-5 hours here. By 4 clock, we are back at the hotel. Sing 160 U.S. dollars change hands and we get back our passports with new visas. At 19.00 we are back in Jakarta. Once you leave the plane, you can smell where you are.
