Javana Spa still open?

(Wendy) Hi Miree, How are you? I'm afraid that once again I need your help. I've been trying to get in touch with a Javana Spa at www.javanaspa.co.id but, nobody's replied to any of my online enquiries. I even tried calling them on 21-7198327/28 but, it says that the number is incorrect. Would you by any chance know if this Javana Spa is still in business please? It says that it has an office at Plaza Bisnis Kemang II but we can't check whether this is true, being outside of Jakarta. If it is, what is the phone number? Your help is very much appreciated. Thanks and kind regards.

(Miree) Hi Wendy,Thank you for your email again ;-). I just past their office few days ago and they are still open plus the confirm info from my girlfriend a loyal customer of Javana Spa. Maybe there something wrong in their phone network. Kemang area a little funny network lately. I would suggest you go to their office directly or drop an email at javana(at)javanaspa(dot)co(dot)id

Wheels For Luggage

(Liz &Walter Casha) Hi Miree ,Wondering if you can help me with an unusual request. We have some(relatively new) luggage which has wheels on it. During a recent trip toPortugal with all those lovely cobbled streets the wheels sufferedsignificant damage and we would like to try to find some new ones beforeour upcoming overseas trip in May. Can you suggest anywhere that wemight find some replacements. The luggage itself is too good to justdiscard. Your help would be appreciated.

(Miree) Hi Luz and Walter,I know there good chain shop "LABA LABA" - they can service any kind of bags,shoes and belts. And they known well good service!
I found 2 chain details for you as per below;

LABA LABA Panglima Polim Raya no.44 phone ; 021-7203626
Cikini Raya no. 85Phone; 021 31937587

Also see if one of the Stop n Go shops could fix or replace the wheel fixture, they mainly fix shoes, but do fix Polo Suitcases and if your case has a simular construction they may be able to help or maybe able to point you in the right direction to somebody that can. There is one in the Hero Supermarket in Barito.

I hope this info helps ;-) Cheers

Restaurant Supply

(Jason)Hi! Im an expat living in Jakarta and I'm very interested in starting aPizza restaurant. I have had a lot of trouble trying to find restaurantsupply dealers, as virtually no businesses are online and even yellow pagesare more or less useless. Whenever I go to local pizza places, no on thereseems to know anything about the equipment. I even attended a hugerestaurant/bakery expo here and had no luck finding what i needed. USCommercial Service was no help either and only had a small list of US exporters. I know the equipment (conveyor ovens, mixers, doughsheeters/presser, other pizza supplies like pans, etc) are available here,but i just cant find info on the suppliers. Geez, with all the pizza placeshere, you'd think it would be easy just to find pizza pans in retail stores,but no luck really. Thought I'd ask you before I start bothering actual restaurant owners.Thanks!

Disney on Ice in Jakarta?

(Wendy) Hi Miree,I've been trying to find out information about the upcoming "Disney on Ice" shows in Jakarta. Would you know where I could buy the tickets from please? Is there a website for the shows? It'd be fantastic if you did. I look forward to hearing from you. Many thanks in advance.

(Miree) Hi Wendy, WNJ team and myself haven't heard yet about they coming into Jakarta. So far the news are they coming Singapore which there special package for Jakartan you can find in http://www.saptatours.com/sapta01/050207/disney_nemo.html
In my opinion if they coming to Jakarta there will be a big promotion going on in all Media.
I guess all we have to do is just wait for the news ;-)
Have a nice day! Cheers
