Jakarta

Since we only have half a day to explore Jakarta, we decide to spend our time at the “Taman Mini Indonesia Indah”.

It is a miniature park that provides the complete picture of Indonesia. It is a culture-based recreational area located in East Jakarta, Indonesia. It has an area of about 250 acres. The park is a synopsis of Indonesian culture, with virtually all aspects of daily life in Indonesia's 26 (in 1975) provinces encapsulated in separate pavilions. (from wikipedia)

From Bengkulu Pavilion
From Wikipedia: The province is on the southwest coast of the island of Sumatra. It was formerly the site of a British garrison, which they called Bencoolen.

From Riau Paviliion
Riau is is a province of Indonesia, located in the center of Sumatra island along the Strait of Malacca. The provincial capital and largest city is Pekanbaru. Riau is one of the richest provinces in Indonesia. This province is rich with natural resources, particularly petroleum and natural gas, rubber, and palm oil.

From South Sumetera Pavillion

It is on the island of Sumatra, and borders the provinces of Lampung to the south, Bengkulu to the west, and Jambi to the north. The capital of Sumatera Selatan province is Palembang.

From South Sulawesi Pavillion
Located on the western southern peninsula of Sulawesi island. The capital of South Sulawesi is Makassar.

Since I have been to Indonesia three years in a row. I plan to temporary close my Indonesia chapter for a while; however, after I see this unique Sulawesi house, Indonesia still list in one of my next year destination (again and again).

From East Nusa Tenggara Pavillion
This province is located in the eastern portion of the Lesser Sunda Islands, including West Timor. The provincial capital is Kupang, located on West Timor.

Last place that we stop by before picking up our bag at hotel and head to the airport is the National Monument (Monas)

The 137-meter tall marble obelisk is topped with a flame coated with 35 kilograms of gold. It represents the people's determination to achieve freedom. It houses a historical museum and meditation hall, and is open to the public. It towers over Merdeka (Freedom) Square, and serves as Jakarta's most prominent landmark. The monument was built during the Sukarno era of nationalism.

Results of my good time from this trip.

And that is the end of my Indonesia trip; though it is not the last Indonesia trip.
