What to see in Jakarta

[piano_cello_conducting]

My work may be sending me over to Jakarta for a week.
Anything you would recommend me to visit (as in tourist attractions)? Any place that you would NOT recommend me to go? Any unsafe neighbourhoods?

Also more importantly, do they have bookshops like Kinokuniya where I can buy Japanese manga (either in Japanese or in English translation) and magazines? Any where I can buy anime soundtracks and figures/merchandise?

oh my..
ar you there already!!!

I didn't have the time to see all of jakarta yet.
All the shopping complex are filled with police
with bomb detectors at the entrance and exits.
You go to the area call kelapa gading.
Nice place. tourist love to go there.
And there is also a shopping complex call ITC.
Its like our own petaling street. They can give you good bargain
Things to avoid. Its is unsafe to use any cab at the city.
Just take the taxi in blue color. Most of the otherm color cabs cheat tourist.
Other than that it is advisable not to walk alone
at night.
