" Taxis Koen and val I think the person that talked about taxis meant to say ""Blue bird Taxis"" NOT Silver bird,there are three varieties of blue taxis, but the Blue ones have the sign on the top of the windshield and don''t look like the wheels are about to fall off..Yeah they are really good and cost abut the same or less than the others and much more important they mostly know where they''re going- the others mostly don''t but will tell you they do and you''ll spend half your day in one-but it''ll still only cost you peanuts. Learn Indonesian as quickly as you can so that you can bargain with the cops, always do so politely but never give them more than 20,000 rp unless you''ve run over someone, then it''ll really cost you - or so I hear. So don''t overpay, it makes it hard on t the rest of us. Watch out for ""Preyman &calo""if you encounter the nasty variety best just to leg it.Ask about these when you get hereand what you can do to minimise your exposure.I just had a nasty encounter with the latter while buying motorcycle parts in one of the less salubrious parts of town(Glodok area).I wanted to fight but if you fight one here, you''ll be fighting 20 at least Okay bye for now, and if there is anyone in the town of Bandung that wishes to correspond my email address is Rohanrohip@hotmail.com.
