If you're stuck in a short weekend in Jakarta and Saturated just watch cable tv in the hotel room and find a fairly quiet place, why not to visit the Ragunan Wildlife Park? In sunny Saturday march 12, 2011. I went to Ragunan zoo. Jakarta pride Wildlife Park has been established since 1864 on Cikini and moved to the Pasar Minggu district in 1966.

No wonder this mosque is better known as the Golden Dome mosque. The mosque is also a tourist place is located on the edge of roadway in District Meruyung-Cinere Limo, Depok. Spacious environment that does not mean being in a place easily accessible. From the highway the only fit two large vehicles, the Golden Dome mosque is hidden behind high walls. As shy to show off their splendor among motorists through road. I come ... read more
