open letter to djakarta!

Dear djakarta!,

Congratulations on the “nu look” of djakarta! It didn’t take long to metamorphose yourself from a magz that present the all faces of Jakarta into an upper class cum yuppies lifestyle magz. Jakarta just needs more of that.

It’s so fascinating to see a thorough coverage of endless night lives (hey, you’ll never run out, there’s always new hot clubs to check out!) & the blue feature definitely offers luscious young bodies luring men (some women also?). Don’t bother bad hair, who wants to see hair on top of naked bodies??

I even got ideas, why not add relationship self help tips, or even sex columns? Hmm that sure is alluring, and Jakartans can’t have enough of FHM or Cosmopolitanesque magz. ;)

The truth is, it sucks! The only thing left to read are the columns. What you deliberately left out are unfortunately the ones I used to learn from (remember my fax 3-4 months ago saying djakarta! satu-satunya majalah wajib beli?)

I guess the market rules and “sex sells” is proven true. While the rest of its content are no longer relevant (moved to Bali 3 months ago), I might as well bid farewell. So dear folks, Congrats & TTFN!
