Experts with Surakarta, Indonesia?

I had a quarrel with a girl and she wouldn't pick up my calls anymore.

I managed to remember her company's detail and found the address as:

jl Balong Lengkong 185, solo 57121

I could not find this on google map and needs help finding my way after I arrive at Adisumarmo International Airport. Being told by friends and agents, the locals generally do not speak english. Is it possible to hire a vehicle with driver for a day at the airport? Or will it be possible to communicate with the local taxi driver in English? If so, would it be likely that they know the address?

I know the trip is not going to be easy, any advices and help will be appreciated.

    Being originally Indonesian, I know Solo is not as big as Jakarta, but it still is a pretty big city.

    My best advice would be to go by Taxi, as it would be hard to find a personal driver. Show the taxi driver the address.

    If that fails, go to the hotel you are staying in. Any multinational hotel should be able to provide assistance in English.

    Good luck!

      Thank you!

      My worry is such that the address I have is too remote, or rather, being one of those small roads that even the common locals do not know.

      I guess my best bet will be asking at the hotel front desk.

      I know this is not the best thing to do, but it's my first and I really need a closing to it, she just went off one day without saying anything. At the bare minimum, I need her words to end this before I can move on.

    Remember: a bunch of flowers will go a long way (but not that far on cattle class) … go get 'er, cowboy.

    just googling the address u gave. Seems that is the head office. They have a branch in the same city for which I could find on the map.

    Worst case scenario is you could go to the branch to ask them for directions to head office.
