Tour de Jakarta 2009 (4 friends)

to be updated next monday.....
Well, due to numerous activities, I am a little bit late to update it. I am so sorry for this. Let me to remember some good experience I got during my trip with my friends to the old part of Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. And I was very glad to visit the historical places around this 8,000,000+ populated city.
We departed at 8:10 pm by local transportation bus and enjoyed the trip along the highway, and passing some good scenery of developing country here, and some contrast. And of course one thing cannot be forgotten, the homeless and the hopeful staring eyes along the way.
At 12:20 we arrived in Block M, in Central Jakarta and stopping by to look for some interesting goods with special sales, a fun thing to do with some friends. After that we went to the spot, to the National Museum (Museum Nasional). There we see magnificent relics of Indonesian past history, started from Hindu era under Kutai Empire in Borneo until the independence day from Dutch and Japan colonizations. That was nice experience to explore the 'tanah air' (father land) from the very heart of Indonesia.
At 13:10 we went to the National Monument tower (Monas Tower), which was built by the first President, Soekarno in 6o's. And then we continued to the monumental religious places i.e. Istiqlal and Dutch Cathedral.
We went home at 3:10 and went back to the lovely dorm. (photo will be attached soon)
