It’s a good day to roam around the city with my fellow SEA Teacher Batch 6 and two of our teachers, Maám Syarah and maám Nurul. We rode the famous transjakarta a bus that takes you to the capital city then we rode a train going to Kota Tua, the old town of Indonesia. I saw flags of the Asian countries being displayed. There are lots of tourist walking around Kota Tua today. There are live bands performing too. I even had the chanced to took pictures of some people who are performers and wear fancy dresses. I also tasted one of the streetfood they have in this place and it was very spicy.
After visiting kota tua we went straight to Monas or the National Monument of Indonesia. The monument was made to represent the spirit of the Indonesians to fight for their independence. The torch like at top of the monument is made up of real gold.
We also went to Masjid Istiqlal the largest mosque in Southeast Asia. It has unique features and the walls of it are like gold. Inside it is very wide. Lastly, we visited the largest Catholic Church in Jakarta. For me it looks like a castle. It has a high ceiling and there were scenes in the bible painted around the walls of the church. Indeed it was a tiring but amazing day for me. It feels good to be here.
