Since I'm from Jakarta and live in Samarinda, I'm gonna make some comparison about these 2 cities. Well actually Jakarta is the city. And Samarinda is more like a small town.
If you ask me which is my favorite, I can't decide. From the social life, I prefer Samarinda. I've found my very best friends here and people are just......nicer than Jakarta. However, I'd prefer Jakarta when it comes to entertainment. Sorry to say but Samarinda is lack of entertainment, to be very very honest. It's like you can't always get what you want or need here, while Jakarta has everything. Literally everything. Except the traffic and relaxing atmosphere. You can never really be relaxed when you're in Jakarta, just saying.
While in Samarinda, the traffic is waaaaay better than Jakarta (of course) and when you're going to any places it takes like 5 until 30 minutes, depends on the distance and the traffic, of course. So if you have an appointment at 10 am you can go from 9:30 and there won't be any serious traffic unless there's flood or something else serious. But trust me, Jakarta's traffic is a lot worse than that.
So the conclusion is, it depends. However, I was born and raised in Jakarta. So no matter how bad Jakarta is now, I'll always miss the city, the places and people who brought me memories.
