After all session finished we went back to hotel and checked out. Then we ate lunch at Traditional Betawi cafe with some Malaysians - Mr. Ganesh, Mrs. Ho Fong Ming, Bu Mien -, Mr. Arlan Setiawan, his son, Johan Setiawan and one more Malaysian trainer whom I forgot his name..:D. We enjoy the Traditional Betawi designed interior. One more thing made us catch the Betawi feel is the waitress wore traditional kebaya. We finally traveled back to Jakarta at 4 PM.
