In Japan most people live in small houses/apartments - which we call "mansions" - yes, a truly overstatement. It is indeed an indulgent for us to spend our rare holiday in a traditional spacious hotel like the Sentosa Resort, where you can enjoy the garden and its wildlife. Others who loves city life and nightlife, may prefer a more modern hotel, with a breathtaking view, like the Marina Bays Sand Hotel.
From Singapore, we flied to Jakarta and spent two days on the mountain side. A nice reasonable hotel with view of nature is Yasmin Resort Puncak, located just two hours drive from Jakarta. However, you have to be really fit as to get ready to shower in a rather cold water or to swim in an unheated swimming pool.
In Jakarta you can see many (perhaps too many) three wheelers and "becak", a tricycle pedaled by a man at the back, what now has become rare. Both are popular means of transportation. I personally think that the three wheelers (bajaj, apparently originally came from India) cause air pollution and that "becak" is a much healthier transportation system than "bajaj".
