About Blog M
A bit of history, and a glimpse of the future
The Blok M web site was born long before the era of popular blogging, but it was, in all but name, a blog - a personal diary of my life in and around the bars and discos of Blok M. So now those distant records have been given a new home in a Wordpress blog.
The grand plan is to transfer all the archive material from the web site into the blog. This has already been done with the Updates and Diary Entries, which are now blog pages that can be found under the “Blok M Chronicles” listing.
Next in line is the heart of the web site - the descriptions of the girls, the guys, and the bars. It’s very much a work in progress, and will take weeks, if not months, before completion.
Here’s the original text from the front page:
Blok M - for those who don’t know it - is a little corner of South Jakarta, a business and shopping quarter that is home to a motley collection of bars, discos and night clubs - click for maps. It’s well known to all the Jakarta expats, and anyone visiting the city who wants a real taste of the famous Jakarta night-life must put it at the top of their itinerary.
This site provides all the information you need to enjoy the many delights of Blok M - without being disappointed because you miss something, or get ripped off. It contains, as the cliché goes, “everything you wanted to know, but were afraid to ask”.

Rarely have I feasted on so much high-caliber linguistic fodder in my life on the web. Do not know what your current line of business is, but you ‘ve certainly got the stuff to become a 21st century Hemingway of the East. Too bad this talent may not pay for your weekly (?) foray into the booze and chick universe of BlokM.
