Bombs go off in Jakarta hotels
Two foreign hotels in Jakarta have been hit by suicide bombers killing at least 9 people and injuring many more.
I was hopeful that terrorism in Indonesia had died along with the 2005 Bali bombers, but it seems as though Indonesia is again under threat from further senseless acts of violence aimed at western interests in Indonesia.
Some parts of tourism had just started recovering in Indonesia and now the bomb blasts are going to resurface the previous attacks in Jakarta and Bali.
It just makes me sad, as I have never met anyone in Indonesia who has never been unfriendly towards me. Most people go out of their way to try and help you.
I wish I had something more incisive to say other than I hope the casualty rate doesn’t climb too high and a full investigations are done to catch the perpetrators behind these cowardly and senseless acts.

I booked hotel once in the counter for my family of my wife when they arrive in arrival international terminal. They do give discount and it is almost sure cheaper than if you book by yourself with the hotel.
