" It's a lovely experience walking around the museum by yourself "- Brad Pitt

The National Museum of Indonesia, is an archaeological, historical, ethnological, and geographical museum located in Jalan Medan Merdeka Barat, Central Jakarta, right on the west side of Merdeka Square.

This is one of the major street in Jakarta, close to the Monument National, our Gambir train station, also the Presidential Palace.

New street regulation wouldn't allow any motorcycle to pass this road any more. Yet, the car also have new regulation, for the last license plate with even and odd numbers, depends on the date in the calendar. You definitely need to follow through and aware if you're going to travel around this area and coming from out of town.

Because the fine will be very high, if you're actually break the street regulation in this area.

"Be aware of even and odd numbers cars regulation, for license plate numbers, depends on the date in the calendar. Monday-Friday, unless it’s a National Holiday, start 7-10 in the morning and 4-8 in the afternoon”

This is the big facade for the museum right when you're enter

After you pay for the entrance fee, and it's only for IDR 5K and foreigner 10K, you can already enter the whole facility. The new building will be on your right as you enter the main lobby. But, if you go straight forward, you can see these beautiful white pillars, can't you imagine this building stand from 1862?

As we reach the village, the cold environment welcoming us. Just like a friendly hug from an old friend. As I reach the place and see the scenery of the lake, suddenly I forgot how long my butt strapped to the seat of our minivan. It's really a long one, and thought will hardly end.

But, surely this just worth to be admired.

MAGICAL WATER

I don't know why, but it seems like we always have a clear blue sky, whenever the weather is cold. Even though the sun shines brightly, but surely cannot beat the cold wind and the breeze of fresh cold air, surrounding us.

Can't you see? This kind of color is hard to find in Jakarta sky.

LAND OF A DREAM

MY HEART SOAR FOR YOU

Since I was in high school, and love going hiking, I always want to have an independence day celebration at the top of the mountain. It's some kind of a #bucketlist for me. But, the opportunity hardly arrived, because those people usually already register one year in advance, to be able to celebrate it in those well-known mountains too.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY

Until August 17, 2015 finally I can fulfilled one of my wish to be up there at the peak of Mount Prau.

HELLO THERE

Picturesque view and the Teletubbies hills, makes me want to stay there for a while, if it's not freezing cold, up here. The crazy cold wind makes the tip of my fingers blue, seriously.

INDEPENDENCE DAY SUNRISE

Isn't gorgeous? The group of friends almost thought we won't see any perfect sunrise, that morning. Yet, around 8 AM that golden light starting to shimmer behind the cloud, and the beautiful sun appears. We're all giving the applaud of standing ovation and cheers! That's just the best feeling, one need to experienced once in a lifetime. Waiting for the sunrise from the top of the mountain is like gambling on poker, or waiting for a blind date. Because you'll never know if it decides not to show up.

GOOD MORNING

THANK YOU, EVERYONE

These are the crazy people that I just met on the trip, but some of us still keep in contact with each other, and make another trip - will continue to another story. But, I would like to thank TRIP HEMAT, for arranging the schedule for this trip. It was a memory worth to be told, again and again!
