Penang - Day 1

Reddoorz Final

And here we are hoping to end this long post of so not important post about reddoorz,
I finally decided to give in, Guntur will be the final destination when it comes to "close to office" budget hotel.

Here are several self-notes
1. Indomaret and alfamart will close at 10
2. Avoid 1st floor, the owner is really noisy

So I have a really, I have a boy and a girl bathroom.
The boy is the toilet and the girl is the shower.

Reddoorz Part 2

I was thinking about strolling on every reddoorz available in Jtown but then again it would depend on the paper in my wallet, so on the 21st of April, I decided to book in Cikini Area, the Karya Hotel.

There are two things why I choose this one, close to my office and several places that I wanna go to though I reality I failed to do so; such as cruising the pool in F1 and breakfast having bubur ayam cikini (major failed).

This hotel turns out to be a complete disaster, should I be entitled to have a towel? Because in my previous booking I have two clean towels. The tv won't turn on, there's no wifi. And...

So if I open my door I was facing directly to this swamp thingy with this huge sewer or maybe a river, and I don't wanna imagine what's lurking beneath those bushes, so here's the thing, what stands between my comfy bed and the bush creatures outside is just a tiny old latch who could easily break in an effortless kick.

This hotel has tons of sofa, I don't know why.

Reddoorz Pilot Stay

So this is the first time ever staying in a budget hotel, alone.

Due to the fact that the shitty building in front of my house is excruciatingly loud so I don't get a nice sleep, 

I sleep mostly past midnight, crash at 2 AM, past that hour then you might as well wake up the whole night.

So I was thinking about staying in a cheap hotel near my office so i can have a fresh day on Monday then voila ... 

The booking was made a week ago, without knowing that the commuter blue line will install a new route DDT from Cakung to Jatinegara, it's going to keep on testing for 3 days from Friday onward so it wont have an impact on Monday, well doesn't bother me cause Im staying at Reddoorz Guntur.

Heading my way to Guntur on Sunday Afternoon without using to commuter line force me to find a new route, I used my old ways, like back in the days, I went to Walikota to catch the Transjakarta Buss heading Kampung Melayu alight in Jatinegara and take a taxi to Guntur because its hot and Im sewating like a pig, no cause im fat.

I took several pictures on current conditions in Jatinegara, growing up during junior high spent a lot of my times here,

This use to be a building where the train staff works, and most of it was indeed a parking lot

So I went on this road as my daily commute and this is the first time looking at these houses from above

Just a regular hotel, 100K what do you expect la...

Surprisingly the wifi is good, and out of my expectation, they provide me with a towel.
