First thing first.
What is 'Gojek'?
Basically, it's this company that runs 'motorbike taxi' services, and you can place bookings via your phone app!
While 'making a booking via our phone app' may sound very normal in other countries (like Singapore), it is a wonderful technological BREAKTHROUGH for us who live in Indonesia!
Really, I must say, 'Gojek' has changed the way I see 'motorbike taxi' services!
Imagine this : all my life, I've only got on a motorbike taxi ONCE, which was early this year.
And, it was to go to another place some FIVE minutes away by motorbike!
I mean, if I had other options, I would've avoided taking those 'motorbike taxis', because to me, it just seems dangerous to get on a bike with a total stranger, who could possibly be a ... criminal or a kidnapper?
(okay, I'm exaggerating, but seriously these drivers are not licensed or registered. They could be bad people, riteeee .... ?)
...
Anyway.
