Sports and music events<\/p>\n
I would really appreciate it if The Jakarta Post could print
\nmore information about entertainment and athletic events.
\nThe \"Where To Go In Jakarta\" section usually reprints the local
\npub bands and the happy hours at hotels. But, for instance,
\ninformation accompanying the picture of the Vienna Boys Choir
\njust said they are performing at the Grand Hyatt.<\/p>\n
Your paper did not list ticket prices or performance times. I
\nwould really like to know about such concerts in advance instead
\nof when they are nearly over or finished.<\/p>\n
Its very difficult in Jakarta to find out information, even
\nwhen you call the places where by word of mouth you heard about
\nan event you would like to see.<\/p>\n
Also many expatriates would like to go and see the fairly new
\nIndonesian professional basketball league games when their season
\nstarts up again in May. I would think the sponsors and promoters
\nof this league, which has international players from America and
\nother countries, would pay for space in the Post to announce game
\nschedules and results. Why the total non-coverage of such a
\nnewsworthy event as an international professional basketball
\nleague?<\/p>\n
The microscopic movie listing is also pretty sorry. Much more
\nspace should be given to cover the major theaters in Jakarta with
\ntimes and prices and special matinee prices.<\/p>\n
How many Post readers knew that Kareem Abdul Jabar was at the
\nPondok Indah Mall a couple of weeks ago? We usually find out all
\nof this type of information by word of mouth and often times too
\nlate to make all the arrangements to arrive at the event.<\/p>\n
Jakartans really have to plan for traffic and other things.
\nHow about a story on the renowned soccer player from Cameroon now
\nplaying for an Indonesian pro soccer team? Better yet, how about
\nletting some of the English speaking soccer fans know about an
\nupcoming game so they can see him perform?<\/p>\n
