I am at a location close to Padma Utara.
Dining options on that street don't appeal, so took an easy ride down Gg Abdi to see an old contact at Warung Bule.
This is part of Hidden Garden Villas.
They are now open, with bookings for next month.
Warung Bule has been open for three months, relying on small trade and mostly Grab food orders.
Tonight, a group of middle aged Aussies ladies turned up and the place seemed almost as normal.
The old Spider Bar place was quite busy early and looked positive for the evening.
More life around here and traders keen to grab any info from Australia that they can.
I give them the Kutafan upbeat forecast.
If I gave them some others forecasts, like 7 years to recovery I think they would either be deeply depressed or highly amused.
I am the latter.
