PUBLISHER NOTES

This 2017, we are proud to pay tribute to Indonesia by showcasing some of the greatest cities in the nation and highlighting their best features. Partnering with AMERICAN EXPRESS, we present you with Celebrate Indonesia, a guide providing exclusive privileges for AMERICAN EXPRESS cardholders looking to dine, shop and explore the after-hours scene in the thriving and growing cities of Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya and Yogyakarta. Within this issue of Celebrate Indonesia you will find 130 merchants; a definitive guide to some of the cities’ most popular and relevant destinations. Check out the “Dining” section to discover the varied spectrum of the culinary world in Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya and Yogyakarta. Meanwhile, “After Hours” keeps you updated with the cities’ favourite nightlife and buzzing hangout spots that are currently happening and definitely worth a visit. For a retail therapy session, “Shopping” showcases the most exclusive brands in clothing, accessories, electronics and more. Last but not least, relax and unwind with choices in “Activity”. It is our hope that Celebrate Indonesia will continue to help its readers to discover the core soul of Indonesia through the country’s most vibrant cities: a dynamic reflection of multiple cultures and backgrounds melded together, creating a uniquely distinct atmosphere that is both humbling and pleasurable to live in. This is what we wish to capture and share as we excitedly launch Celebrate Indonesia, paying homage to the great cities of Indonesia that many of us are privileged to call home. Last but not least, we want to invite you to check our website, www.celebrate-indonesia.com, to enjoy special offers and privileges from AMERICAN EXPRESS.
