Coffee Shops in Indonesia
There's a sense of comfort and productivity association with one's own work space, whether it be in your bed, couch, or office.
It's been a real struggle creating my own space for productivity. During grad school, the desk assigned to me was plain, but I made it my own with all my post its, dry erase board, foot stool, and blanket. The blanket was used often because I lived in Wyoming, where snow happens like 9 months out of the year. I'm not real fussy about space. I don't need it t be fancy, just clean, bright, and comfy. I am more productive (preferably) laying down OR at least with my feet elevated. I even looked into getting one of those laying down desk, but the price tag for the one I want starts at $5,900.
ANYWAYS -- In Indonesia, I've had to resort to finding coffee shops to do some work. Top ratings for a coffee shop: AC, non-coffee tables with outlets near by, soft chairs, WIFI, clean sit-down toilet, toilet paper provided (it's been a real struggle in Indonesia), tea options, and good food. So instead of my dream desk, I FINALLY FOUND my dream coffee house: ANTARAKATA COFFEE in Semarang, Indonesia.
Open 24 hours....this place is the most comfortable coffee shop I've ever visited. I've been here 4 times and this place has yet to let me down. First, the drinks on the menu is nothing I've ever experienced. Each drink seems like it was carefully crafted with complimentary flavors. *disclaimer* I don't usually drink coffee, BUT their Peachjito - is a cold brew and what seems like fresh peach shreds that came in a cognac serving glass. A specialty drink of such caliber came with a large portion that I nearly couldnt finish it.
