Jakarta, Indonesia - In today's video we are going to visit a very modern and rich area in Jakarta. It's called SCBD, which stands for Sudirman Central Business District. High skyscrapers, modern and huge malls, hardly any street food stalls or street vendors - certainly a very big contrast to the areas of Jakarta, we have seen in my previous videos. Join me as we explore Jakarta SCBD.

Hiii Ken, you should try visiting the PIK and PIK2 area 🥳🎉
I’m glad you actually mentioned how other content creators almost always have (____) surprised me or can’t believe this is (____) with their thumbnails with shocked faces or open mouths. I mean, were they expecting rice paddies all over the biggest cities in Southeast Asia? Don’t get me wrong, that’s their choice to go in that direction content wise but it gets tired when seemingly they all follow a template. That’s why I like Ken because he really gets to a know a city by going to super local places. It’s refreshing.

This episode made me fully understand the benefits of being tall, because you can clearly see the words on the wall inside the MRT carriage without any effort, haha! Indonesian donuts look delicious too. I like all three flavors. They will go great with coffee! Vendors cannot enter the modern area, they are well managed by the government! Very happy to see you have added subscribers to Skywalk, thank you very much for sharing! 👍🤩🙏

Jakarta is sooo beautiful .love from Lanka🇱🇰❤️
My brother wife is Germany, and she love JCO donuts, everytimes they coming here to Indonesia they always take Jco donuts souvenir for her parents.
Welcome to Indonesia 😍. The country with the largest economy in Southeast Asia. Jakarta is a big city. Modern area Jkt yg lain ada Mega Kuningan, Rasuna Epicentrum, Kelapa Gading, PIK, Jakarta International Stadium, Bundaran HI, Central Park, and others. Serpong dan BSD City di Tangerang dekat Jakarta juga bagus. Indonesia banyak kota kota besar yang lain juga

Yes, Indonesia it’s the largest economy in south east Asia with 1,319,100 GDP which is Singapore is the Third and Malaysia is the 5th
Jakarta is not only about the skyscrapers, slums area, traffic jam, etc, but there are also exotic islands at the north side called kepulauan seribu (thousand islands), this place is underrated and less foreigners btw. You can go there by speedboat from Kaliadem port or Marina Ancol

Loved to see this part of Jakarta thru' your eyes, Ken. Yeah, it looks similar to BGC of The Philippines ...very modern, clean and well maintained. Yummy JCO donuts and beef soup at a very clean street food stall. Great that you are using lots of this Grab motorbike taxi as your transportation there...fast and convenient. Haha...lots of selfies again at that Skywalk and picking up a few subscibers 👍👏 Well, Ken, this's indeed a pretty cool video to watch. Kudos to you for the great job. Thank you ! 🫰😍

luar biasa, Jakarta dengan segala kemajuan nya, sangat berkesan!
ken , you must go to Pik 2 pancoran china town in north jakarta, go in the evening because more comfortable and nice in the evening, this area is big, so can go to area batavia pik n aloha pik. Jakarta is diverse so here you can see another vibes . maybe you can come to central park mall in the evening thats nice mall too.
terimakasih sudah berkunjung ke Indonesia
The hot tropical weather that make asean country always has a lot big malls. People can strolling around for shopping, playing in amusement park, eating, hang out, go to cinema etc cos of the AC weather.
The most kind vlogger from abroad, happy and always smile

You need to go PIK 2 (La Rivera, Aloha White Sand, Cove Batavia) in North Jakarta. Very modern and unique
I like your narrative. simple but informative. 👍
In UK we call the donut sprinkles, "hundred and thousands".
27:47 that mall is FX Sudirman the headquarters of the Indonesian idol group it's called "JKT48"
Ken,, Dankeschön dass du mein Heimat besucht,, es ist ein wunderschönes Land..🙏 👍
I have visited Jakarta 3 times now with the recent visit a few months ago - great city, dynamic and manic traffic
Great content. I enjoyed watching it and loved it. Thanks for sharing it, Ken. 👍👍👍😍😍😍
I agree with your comment about the 'modernization' of areas in Jakarta---and other cities. When you build new high rises, etc, you loose the flavor of the old city. That has happened in Bali and many other similar places which I believe is a great loss!! Great vid!

Nice video Ken. I really enjoyed your video. If you still in Jakarta, you can visit a culinary event called Festival Jajanan Bango. Its an annual event where you can find so many traditional foods from all over Indonesia. in Istora Senayan. Near the MRT station
Jco also has affiliated breadshop called Mako (used to be called breadtalk, same boss), mako bread also very tasty. Can find mako breads in many shopping malls.
It's a complete journey mate, awesome 👍🏾
you should go to southern part of Jakarta, like Blok M area, theres a hangout place called Mbloc, it's good to see where local youth hangout
*Enjoy your day in Indonesia, nice video. 👍👍👍❤*
Mantap bro petualangannya
I suggest you going to the colonial side of Jakarta in the North. There are Dutch styled buildings in a small town called Kota Tua and there’s a museum near this place called Taman Fatahillah

Ken, please explore another part of Indonesia, Jakarta is too busy and hot weather. Malang, Jogja, Bandung, West Sumatera, my homeland, so many amazing place, natural place and delicious food in every part of Indonesia 👍😍 From Padang West Sumatera, there is famous Nasi Padang with its must try icon : Beef Rendang ❤️
The 1st biggest Mall in Jakarta is Summarecon Mall Kelapa Gading, 150.000 m2, and the 2nd biggest is Grand Indonesia Mall, 140.000 m2 and the 3rd biggest is Mall Taman Anggrek 130.000 m2.

You can find the original authentic of empal gentong in Cirebon city, west Java. You can visit there also to know about what there's in because it is the historic City that recommended you have to go
the street vendor in 00:21:49 think you already pay using qris. Maybe she saw you pointing your phone through qris code and think you made a payment.
Try to visit to Mall Kelapa Gading, its much larger than Pacific Place Mall. Or Maybe visit Pondok Indah Mall or Grand Indonesia Mall, its also much larger than Pacific Place Mall.

Primary modes of transport in Jakarta are KRL and Transjakarta BRT....MRT and LRT are only for supporting roles
Very nice
Keren bos 👍👍👍
Mr Ken, should the farmous goat fried rice culinary located in kebon sirih jakarta.... And you can also go buy the legendary martabak in pecenongan jakarta....thank you
Ken. You were wrong when exit from the right. It's must be from the left and you directly come to SCBD and there is also escalator if you asked you can get the escalator.
Jakarta the biggest city in southeast, never sleep city, population 14 milion people, Jakarta city the busyest and central busines in southeast top size economi in southeast 👍
Thanks ken
Ken...👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You should try Avocado Coffee at jco . Enak enak
Enjoy Jakarta dude...❤
in this area.. you can find many foreign embassies, International financial offices, Indonesian stock exchange, six stars Hotel and Apartments. that's why you are not allowed to turn on the camera :-) but you can still face on camera toward your body...
U actually can get out of mrt fr the side of scbd, so u don' hv to walk far to find a bridge
Have a nice trip 👏👏👏 Enjoy 👍
Enjoy watching your journeys in Jakarta. BTW, the female station agent looked upset after you left the metro station for some reason. Safe travels.
Try Bandar Djakarta in Ancol, best place for Seafood
Heard a lot of good things about PIK / 2 you should go there!

was a 'walking tourist' like ken too...only after 2/3 days of exploring their mrt/metro stations i found that these stations are vast & they have like multiple entry/exit ways.some exits/entries are equipped with downward/upward escalators only...so one has got to be familiar with each station if one is not good with stairways.
