Plans

Thanks to Dow Jones and 30W rule, coordinates for Saturday till Monday in this graticule is generated at Friday night. Checking coordinates for the weekend (and weekstart), only the Monday hash is located in Jakarta. Because the hash is in downtown and on the edge of a building, there's a greater chance for me to actually get this hash (after a No trespassing consolation prize on last expedition). Free time between my Monday classes also provides a good opportunity for nice pictures.

Expedition

At 10:15am, after a morning class and a meal, I departed from my campus. Took a short train ride to Kalibata Station. Since I didn't remember which minibuses goes to the area of the hash (minibuses here literally have no map of their services and most of them only have line number and names of end areas printed on their body, in which I couldn't find the area I headed to), I took the hard way, a 3km walk from the station to the hash.

At about 12:20pm, I arrived at the building. There I needed some time to mentally figure where exactly is the hash from Google Satellite images since the GPS pointer in my phone is off by more than 20m. Figured, it's just at the outside of the wall, behind parked cars, on an AC outdoor unit. Check! After some nice photos, I headed back to campus because I have a class at 4pm and (I believe) there's no other geohasher in this city.
