[印尼] Bu Oka

| No Comments

  这家饭店是Jakarta办公室的Lili介绍我去的,在她听说我终于决定去巴厘岛之后,其实我想不去也不行,因为曼谷机场发生暴动,而我的转机城市在曼谷,东航又是一问三不知,所以我stuck在印尼了。

  Lili在介绍的时候,说这家店是Anthony Bourdain介绍过的,不用说,那一定是Discovery Travel & Living里的那个Anthony,他不是我的偶像,但却是我最想成为的对象。所谓“吃启遍天下无敌手”,恐怕就是这种境界吧!

 

  这是不久前在印尼的Bali拍到的一个大型广告牌,由于是在车里拍的,所以只有一半。这个广告牌是选举广告,Bali到处都有,这个人呢,就是候选人之一了,样子还不错吧。

  下面的小图,是他手上戴的表,我之所以把它放大,倒不是想让网友“人肉”一把,来和南京的周局长比比谁的表贵,关键是因为这么大的一个广告牌,主人的公手表却是反戴的,这怎么看时间呢?真是匪夷所思!

 

  • 出租车的起步费是6000盾,相当于半美元,或者是3.8元人民币;BENZ车的起步费是7500盾,4.22人民币。
  • Blackberry的信息费是15万盾(85元人民币),而中国电信的则是四百和六百两种套餐,可见垄断的厉害了吧?所以有人在香港办了Blackberry的业务,再漫游回来,都比中国电信便宜。
  • 听说,一般的出租司机月收入在Rp. 1,000,000(一百万盾,约570元人民币)左右,公务员是150万盾,而白领则是200万盾,但我总觉得这个数字是有问题的,因为Starbucks的咖啡也要20人民币一杯,白领赚这么少,怎么喝得起?白领不喝,谁喝?
  • 继续,一个工作了12年,在某处干了7年的中级职员,工资是600万盾(3,400元人民币),这是个pay得很好的单位,这个数字也是比较合理的了。
  • 方便面是Rp. 4,100 (2.3元人民币),一个PSP是235万盾(1,336元人民币)。
  • 23日中午的那顿饭,肯定是乱算账的。
  • 2003年出的500盾硬币是铜的,2008年出的变成了铝的,极轻。
  • 22日出机场,换了100美元,到手Rp. 1,220,000,25日换50美元,到手Rp. 550,000。
  • 油价Rp. 6,800 (RMB3.83)每升,同事的丰田商务车大约2万美元。
  • 在雅加达市里换钱,只收崭新的美元,不能有折痕,更别说有缺角(象芝麻大小也不行)和污迹了(象芝麻大小也不行),就象上海用支票的要求一般,办公室的老大说“that’s ridiculous”,无奈中,只能问办公室的财务换了新美元再去兑换,否则就要身无分文了。
  • 住家保姆的价格是40美元一个,办公室的同事说,一般的家庭有四五个保姆(当然是收入好的家庭啦),那就算前面说到的中级职员,500美元一个月,保姆当然用得起。据同事说,大概有80%的家庭有保姆。
  • 中产阶级的婚礼,不包括房子和装修,包括所有的典礼、蜜月、戒指、婚纱、影像等,大约在15,000美元左右。
  • 在一家有LV, GUCCI, Cartier, Zara和Hermes专卖店的商场地下室,停车费是Rp. 2,000 (1.13人民币一个小时)。
  • 与菲律宾一样,所有的停车场,都要开后盖箱查车,所有的人进入建筑物,也要开包检查,但只要理直气壮往里直走,不会拦下你,或许我的脸看上去比较象好人。
  • 在最宽的道路上的,相当于上海的延安路,纯车行道,边上也有简陋的账篷和乞讨者,最市中心的地方。
  • 在市政府门口,见到一辆驴车,唯一的一辆在印尼见到的驴车。

Indonesia

Indonesia is such a strange country. When the night I was arrived Jakarta , I felt it was too clean to be understood. I even called Sam and told her Jakarta is the second cleanest city in the world just follows Tokyo , Japan . I also told Sam the city is so peaceful that I don't feel any dangerous. Next day morning, I took cab to office and ran a wrong path; I saw the dirty, mess, and poor of the city. It is some kind like Makati vs. Manila , Philippines . It was also the next day, the J.W. Marriot was bombed up, the explosion was from underground parking area and effected to the top floor.

There are two major races in Indonesia - Chinese and Indonesian, two religions in Indonesia - Buddhism and Muslim, and two categories of people in Indonesia - rich and poor. There are rich Buddhism Chinese and poor Muslim Indonesia. Chinese have almost all private cars. My colleagues are almost Chinese and they have Honda, Toyota and other good cars. One of my Chinese colleagues has a farm, one has a driver and another is going to build a huge house for wedding. They are all considered as rich in Indonesia or even in Asia. It's easy to distinguish a Chinese and an Indonesian, Chinese has white skin and Indonesian has much darker skin.
