Stuff Jakartans Like: Good Looking Eurasians
9:08am Oct 13, 2011
Jakartans like anything and anyone good-looking. Eurasians, or what we call “Indos,” are products of Indonesian and Caucasian marriages or relationships. As we all know racially mixed people, in general, are aesthetically very pleasing, or in layman's terms, easy on the eyes. Eurasians are among the best looking of the bunch.

Jakartans have a very strange fondness for malls. Many of us think that malls may be God’s second greatest gift to mankind (after rice). Americans might think their malls are awesome, but they are sadly mistaken, because what we have is simply more awesome.

Jakartans like designer brands. Their fondness for branded clothing is not limited to women but also includes men and now, more than ever, kids. It seems that even children are starting to feel the need to own designer brand items, whether in the form of toys, shoes or clothes.

Rima Fauzi may be based in Belgium but she still keeps in touch with her Jakartan roots. A disclaimer, though: This former copywriter and radio announcer's satirical take on all things she thinks Jakartans like is liberally sprinkled with sarcasm and is meant to be taken with a grain of salt.
