In and around Jakarta: Monas

Monas is the National Monument, erected by former presdient/dictator Suharto. What is it with dictators and their obsession with tall, erect monuments? All around the huge complex are important government buildings. It's a great place for kite flying.

(Perhaps) the biggest mosque in the world



Monas itself

Dokar--horse and cart. For locals it's perhaps 3000Rp for a ride around the park. For buleh (white people) it's three times that.
