Jakarta Shoppers GuideThe most in-depth guide for goods and services in Jakarta. Categories range from arts and handicrafts to water systems. The guide includes contact information, business hours, and a description for each shop or service. The Jakarta Shopper's Guide is unique because the only way for a business to be listed is through a personal recommendation from an expatriate.

For over 30 years, the American Women's Association has been publishing a version of this listing of shops and services recommended by expatriates. All entries in the book have been tried and tested by people like you! Often listings even name the person who speaks English at the shop!

So if you are looking for a travel agent, bank, place to buy batik, person to service your air conditioner, veterinarian, orthodontist, bottled water supplier ,and more ... consult the Jakarta Shopper's Guide!
