Landing in Jakarta..appearances are a 3rd world nation. Slums and sub-tropical 90 F humidity as the city sits approx on the Equator. Immigration is slow and slightly amused at the customs inattention to ex-ray of baggage. What.....with all terrorist bombings at Western hotels, would expect more vigilance. Taxi the 35 minutes to outskirts of downtown. Palatial Mullia Hotel gives a welcome sense of security. Guards check under every vehicle entering along w/ inside our taxi. They then x-ray all our luggage before entering the hotel. Hotel is spectacular...possible the most luxurious ever stayed in. Staff extremely gracious. In room and trying to decide if Alice (my business colleague) and I are adventurous to go out. As I'm writing this...two British women from the room next door come walking into my room through the connector. Party !!! So much for security.
