    http://westhillconsulting.info/blog/jakarta-travel-tips/ Like any other cities in the world, Jakarta is a noisy and chaotic metropolis. And same as those cities, there are cautions to be conscious of. Jakarta is much fun if you know what you are doing so if it is your first time in the city here are some travel tips for you. Customs and etiquette are very important anywhere but in Indonesia there are some certain points that you must remember. Although Indonesians are usually laid-back, there are some dos and don'ts that you must be sensitive just so you won't offend. When entering temples, mosques, and even some shops, shoes should always be removed. Skits and shorts must cover your knees when in town. Pointing is also prohibited and eating with your left hand is offensive as it is only used for toilet duties. Smooching or public display of affection with partner or with a local is considered too be very offensive. Keep it cool and keep your temper in check even in the most tempting circumstances. Although Jakarta is not tip-heavy at least be a bit generous more especially to a non-service-charging restaurant and the rounding up of a cab bill. When it comes to money matters, the local currency is the Indonesian rupiah (Rp), with notes ranging from Rp500 to Rp100,000 and coins of up to Rp1,000. If you you got to change money, you must go directly to the banks instead of having them changed in the hotels because you will have a bad time due to their worst exchange rate! But good thing about Jakarta is they are a fairly credit card-friendly city with shops, restaurants and hotels all generally accepting Visa and MasterCard. Be careful of high ATM charges and remember cash is king in the inexpensive markets. It is hot year round in Jakarta because of it close proximity with the equator with little deviation in the seasonal sense. During October to February, the monsoon season goes and it is particularly wet while June through September is generall

Beware Traveling with pets may cost you more than think

    A carry-on bag is included in Lana Joseph's ticket price whenever she flies from Cleveland to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., on United Airlines. But if that carry-on includes Molly, her six-pound Yorkshire terrier, Joseph has to cough up an additional $250 round-trip. "That's way too much for a bag that goes under the seat," says Joseph, a retired hairstylist from Akron, Ohio, who spends her winters in South Florida. "I can see a small charge, but not an exorbitant fee." Welcome to the topsy-turvy world of pet travel - a world that some say shouldn't even exist. Americans spent an estimated $55.7 billion on pets last year, according to the American Pet Products Association, most of it on food and veterinary care. But an unknown portion of that amount also paid for plane tickets and accommodations for man's best friends. It's one thing to travel with a service animal, which performs an essential function for a disabled passenger. But it's quite another to bring your dog, cat, rabbit or bird on a leisure trip because you want to. APPA President Bob Vetere has called this the "humanization" of pets - or, in travel terms, the belief that Fluffy would be sad if you went on vacation without her. Depending on your perspective, the travel industry has either accommodated those feelings by offering pet-friendly rooms, restaurants and flights, or it has preyed on them by adding fees and surcharges that do little more than line its pockets. Certainly, accommodating a live animal can be an extra burden on any company. Airlines are required to file monthly reports with the Transportation Department on pets that were lost, injured or died during transport. United has reported a total of 89 pet deaths since 2005, according to the Web site ThirdAmendment.com . Still, United's travel program for animals, called PetSafe, is said to be one of the most pet-friendly in the airline industry. United inherited PetSafe from Continental Airlines when the two merged in

    Each one of us deserves a vacation every now and then. It can help us live life. All work is no good. We all need to relax for a while and have a little time to enjoy. We at Westhill Consulting Travel and Tours call it Traveling Life. Admit it or not, the first issue we have during the travel is on packing. Yes, you read it right. Issue. Packing is a big challenge prior to traveling and it leads to a big issue. Here are some tips for you to review the next time you are packing all the stuff that you have: * Pack as light as possible. Ask the simple question: "Do I want it or do I need it and if I need it am I will to cart it around?" There is little you really need when you travel. * Travel with a light backpack. If you are moving between places, backpacks leave your hands free to hold their hands. * Pack just a few clothes with only a couple complimentary, solid colors - no patterns. Black is a good idea if you need to be able to dress up and be casual. * Pack only what you can carry on to the flight. Warning: excess baggage is expensive. * Put everything you want to bring in a pile and slowly strip away things that aren't necessary. * Leave the laptop behind, as well as blackberry and any other tech gadget. For computer addicts, being away from the internet's constant flow of data for a few days recharges and relaxes you in ways that you never experience at home. * Bring along a small, foldable umbrella to protect against the UV rays of sunlight and possible rain. * Most toiletries can be found easily in your destination country so you won't have to file complaints on where to relieve yourself. * If it's something you think you can buy there more cheaply than at home, then don't bring it (especially if it's something you don't already have). * Bring one book, and w
