Jakarta Fair PRJ Kemayoran 2009

Hi Everyone, I have visited to Jakarta Fair 2009 at PRJ Kemayoran. It is held at the Jakarta International Exhibition Centre (JI Expo) every year showcasing Indonesian various industries and products. There were great promotions ranging from sportswear, furniture, clothing, batik clothing, electrical appliances and products, IT and computer products, mobile phones, car tyres and food and beverage items. Singing and dancing performances were held at the event too. The fair is opened to all from morning to night. The MRT in Jakarta also its presence known at the fair. Jakarta will have its own MRT system soon implemented in a few stages. The MRT will be completed in 2016. I also went to the Skyway booth with my friends where we can make our own slippers free. Skyway is a company which makes slippers. There were more than 56,000 pairs of slippers made that day when we were at the booth. Might be more than 60,000 pairs after we left at 7pm. If you are not sure how to make your own pair of slippers, the company models will help you with it. There were a lot of people queuing up there in 6 or 8 lines to wait for their turn. Each line will have a model in front where they will monitor the process of making the slippers. Here is the picture below: I also bought a few cartons of Indomie Mi Goreng at the fair. It was cheaper there. Only Rp. 43000 which means it is only RM 14.33. There were also performances in the E-Joss (Extra Joss) energy drink booth where the musicians created nice drumming beats with kitchen utensils (pans) and empty containers. Several children were invited to join in as well. Loud but good music there. You can visit the Extra Joss website for more details on the energy drink. Only RM 0.36 for one pack. There are 40 packs in one carton. We can see the brands we have in Malaysia also have a presence in Jakarta together with several Indonesian home brands. The Indonesian home brands include Indofood, Extra Joss, Skyway, Bengawan Solo Coffees, Indomilk, Sampoerna and Nixxy. Nixxy is the manufacturer of keropoks there. Familiar brands include Samsung, Sharp, Elba, Fujiflim, Acer, BenQ, HP, Zebra Thailand, Dunkin Donuts, LG and KDK. I have taken quite a number of photos while I was there.
