  1. If you’re looking for somewhere interesting to visit in Jakarta, I’d recommend the National Library of the Republic of Indonesia. It might be a better option than going to the top of Monas, especially since the line can get quite long and you need to pay. The library is actually the 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗟𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱, and you can see places like the Presidential Palace and various museums around Monas from there.

    You could also visit Istiqlal Mosque if you have enough time. It’s the largest mosque in Southeast Asia, and they have free guided tours where you can learn about the mosque’s history.

    I’m still practicing my English, so sorry in advance for any mistakes 😅 Have fun in Jakarta! 👍

  2. Liburan di Indonesia tidak seramai di Thailand Malaysia Singapura Filipina dan Vietnam. Liburan di Indonesia minimnya hiburan😢 karena bnyak peraturan Konyol di Indonesia ini. Jadi sulit mendatangkan turis mancanegara. Orang Eropa, Arab, Asia timur, Amerika latin. Lebih suka liburan ke Thailand Malaysia Singapura Filipina dan Vietnam daripada ke Indonesia. Terimakasih sudah mau mengunjungi Indonesia bro.

  3. Wow, that’s awesome! 😄 Blok M is such a popular spot for people in Jakarta and the surrounding areas. There’s so much good food and lots of cool little shops and things to check out. And of course, while you’re there, don’t forget to try Bakmi GM and some local favorites like Obihiro Nikudon, etc. So many good things to eat around there! 😋👍

  4. Hey guys you're in the correct place now.
    Block M is the food heaven in Jakarta and you don't bother to ask the local to find out nice place for food hunting guys😊
    And don't forget to come Jakarta CFD (Car Free Day) in the sunday morning for you're experience the atmosphere😊
