Jakarta hotels hit by blasts

Explosions have rocked a Marriott and Ritz-Carlton in Jakarta with reported “foreign” casualties.

I spent about three days in Jakarta, one of which seemed as if it was a week long. That was about 30 years ago and the starting place for a day on the town for myself and some friends that day was a Sheraton in what I suppose was or is the city’s central business district.

So I know little about Jakarta other than it a hu-freaking-mongus city I once visited and all the time I was there I never really knew where I was.

I hope this doesn’t turn out to be worse than it seems as if it might. But it seems as if it is going to be a terrorist attack with very dire consequences.
