Sunday 20 November

Today we had the day off. Finally we had the chance to get some sleep, but also to see something in Jakarta. After a late breakfast some of us made some plans. First we went to the Monas, the Monumen Nasional. We decided to go inside and read something about the Indonesian history. Of course was this very interesting for both the Indonesian and the Dutch students because the Dutch are of a big influence on the Indonesian History. After the tour through the museum, we wanted to go all the way up in the monument, but unfortunately there was a queue of three hours.



From the first floor of the National museum we could see the biggest mosque of south-east Asia. That’s why we decided to visit it. For some of us it was the first time we visited a mosque. It was very exciting. The mosque was really big indeed. We got a tour by a guide and he explained about the rituals. After visiting the mosque we went to the church which was at the other side of the road. This was the oldest church in Jakarta, but it wasn’t really special.

In the afternoon we wanted to get some diner at a shopping mall. We also cycled at the third floor above the ground. It was really special and some of us shitted their pants, I guess.



Some of us went to the manicure get re in the mall, it took three hours to get the whole treatment. And it only costs 10 euro for two people. Afterwards, we ate Japanese bento at the food court at top of the mall which is very nice.

In the end of day, we took a taxi back to the hotel which was very difficult for us, because the diver didn’t know the place and it took a lot of effort to ask the right way back.
