Jakarta, Indonesia

Most travelers completely skip Jakarta and head right to Bali. But they are missing out one of the most exciting cities in Southeast Asia. Jakarta has it all, top Clubs, historic Dutch Colonial areas, a great china town, cool mosque (that are more welcome to foreigners than in other countries, in fact you can just walk in and introduce yourself), cheap to expensive shopping, a huge verity of food and (in my opinion) the coolest and most friendly locals in all of Asia.

I have lived in Jakarta for a bit over 4 years, the expats here consider it the best place in Southeast Asia to live

What a difficult one. I’ve lived in a lot of places and really love Sofia, Bulgaria… but I think I will have to go with:

Utrecht, The Netherlands

Woah fuck, that city will never win ^_^

In the face-off, how about I write my own 200-300 words why my city is so great?

@ Bas:

For this contest I wanted to keep things simple for the small prize. My next contest in May will give you an opportunity to show your creative skills for a much bigger prize 🙂
