No elephants in the Elephant Museum ...

National Museum is different from Monas... do you know?


Many people wrongly think National Museum as Monas. I'm one of them * admit* .... Monas is National Monument. Although both places adjacent, but clearly different.
National Museum of Indonesia

Toko Merah (Red Shop), not even a shop....

Toko Merah (Red Shop), relics of colonial architecture in Jakarta

Toko Merah (Red Shop), located at Jl. Kali Besar Barat 11, Kota Tua, West Jakarta

Red Shop, considering the name, automatically we hope to buy something in this place. But it turns out Red Shop is not even a shop ... wkwkwk

Candra Naya : Traces of Chinese history in the capital city Jakarta

Batavia history witnesses, hidden by the jungle of Jakarta's hi-rise buildings...


When invited to visit Candra Naya, I spontaneous ask, what is it? Where is it? And the answer "A historic building on Gajah Mada street" instead makes clear, has raised more questions ... What? There is a historic building at Gajah Mada street? The hell? Where? I have been crossed Gajah Mada street many times, but never seen any historic building named Candra Naya.... And I believe I'm not the only one who doesn't know ^^


Candra Naya located in the middle of Novotel Hotel, Jl.Gajah Mada 188, Jakarta

Pari Island....a Little Paradise near Big Jakarta

Pari Island, just a little paradise in the middle of Thousand islands...

Pari Monument, turquoise water, and white sands

After approximately 2 hours by traditional wooden boat from Muara Angke port, finally arrived in this small paradise. It was a relief when the boat begins to leave the-not-so-eligible-port of Muara Angke.... sitting back in the edge of the ship, feel sleepy, enjoying the breeze and splashing water, watching the sea water changes color, from black ... brown .. . green ... dark blue ...and freshly light blue color welcoming the ship when it reached Pari Island dock.
