It is at 9:00PM right now,
and I am at the cafe inside Jakarta airport.
I arrived here last night, and enjoyed Jakarta today.


Because Jakarta is not only a huge city but a hot city,
I needed to get on taxt wherever I go,
Unfortunately(!!)the weather here has been fine today,
so that means I had to walk under the crazy sunshine!!


As I told you before, a local collector came to the hotel
to see me this morning, and we traded many pins.
He had many of old pins from Jakarta.
Fortunately, I got the most important info about HRC Jakarta from him!!
HRC Jakarta moved to new location in the beginning of this year!!
I can not believe that I have never heard the info.
and I have never seen the info on official HRC web!!

After I enjoyed trading with him, I got on taxi to visit HRC.
A funny thing was that the taxi driver took me to the old location,
and I asked him that HRC had been moved!!
The new location is the best one where is located inside the big shopping mall next to Hyatt hotel.


The following list is what I found on the counter at HRC.

  • Dragon guitar
  • anniversay 2004 guitar(I like this pin!)
  • Asian fan series

They did not have Heavy-T as well as Pint glass pin.


After I enjoyed a movie inside the mall,
I went to HRC to take a rest with a fresh drink.
I showed some of Japanese pins to a staff,
and then it started !!
Most staffs came to me with what they had,
and I could trade all of my pins(about 20 pins)!
Actually, I could get some of old pins from staffs,
and also got many button w/the name of Jakarta on them.


Of course, I did not forget what I had to do here.
I asked them to bring the floor manager here,
and I got a signature on a button from him.


OK. I think this is enough for Cyotto Memo.
I will write more on Chitchat after I went back to Japan.
