Stroller for Kid (6 years old)

Hi Lara & Tina, My fam and I are planning to go for holiday to Singapore next week. I need a stroller for my daughter, 6 years old 25 kg. I have been searching for it thru the internet but I cannot find the one I need it for my daughter. 
Could you please advice me where I can buy or rent it Jakarta or Spore? I appreciate your help. Thank you and regards, Julie Answer: 

Hi Julie, 

Have you tried looking into our Malls kids section? 
Like Pondok Indah, Senayan Plaza and Gandaria, Tanggerang Malls? 
I have seen some foldable ones in Pondok Indah for kids last year.. If none, kindly please sign up e-newsletter of www.uppercrustjakarta.com

Some expats leaving are selling a lot of stuff at this moment and their posting in their e-blast. Hope that helps. Tina & Lara

What to do in Jakarta During Lebaran

Thanks for your informative newsletter. I enjoy reading through it. I was wondering of you could help me. I have friends arriving from American On August 8. They will be here 4 days. We leave for Bali on Monday August 12. Looks like so many things are closed for Idul Fitri. Do you know of anything that might be open during August 8-11 to take my friends on their short visit to Jakarta. I assume the museums are closed. Thanks for your advise. Karen ------------------------------ 

Dear Karen, Jakarta during lebaran could be very quite, most places will be closed. Mall / plaza will be open though. And TMII and Safari will be open too but most probably will be too crowded with locals. Maybe try go to Thousand Island; it's only 1,5 hours on speedboat from marina ancol.... Pulaumacan.com , Sepa Island, etc more ideas you can find it here http://whatsnewjakarta.com/content/subcategory/85/7/Weekend-Getaway-Ideas

Avoid going to Bandung, pel ratu, puncak, etc - you will stuck in the traffic for hours as many locals are traveling to their home town. Best Luck!

Where I can buy artificial/plastic plants in Jakarta?


Hi Lara & Tina,

Would you happen to know where I can buy artificial/plastic plants in Jakarta? Specifically I am looking for artificial/plastic stand plants (like ficcus) and the leafy looking potted plants. Any leads will be appreciated. Thanks.

Penn

ANSWER FROM TINA & LARA: 

Dear Penn,
You will find a lot of these in Mangga dua ITC or pasar pagi in the ground floor area. I personally bought a lot from there. There are a lot of selections and prices,are good! Do not forget to haggle! 
TINA 

Dear Penn,
I’ve also been having a bit of a rough time finding these but there are some (cannot promise ficcus) at Chic Mart here in Kemang at:
Jalan Kemang Raya no. 55
Kemang, Jakarta Selatan 12730
Telp: 021 7197813
Fax: 021 7193951
Email: chicmarthome@yahoo.com

You can also get lucky at Mangga Dua.  Some of the stores around town have them on occasion like Vinotti, Vinere, etc.  Please google those to find the location nearest you.

Good luck and please let us know if you find what you are looking for.
