Over the Songkhran festival I had the chance to see my beloved sister and my adorable niece. I was able to see what their typical life was like and got to play with them. We also got the chance to explore Jakarta, which I thought was just another quintessential city, all concrete, steel and glass but surprisingly there were little gems to be found.
For example: Lara Djonggram, an artsy restaurtant inspired by an Indonesian Buddhist deco that serves the best gado gado and sate in town.
The Historical museum in Jakarta: Although their exhibits were badly done, there were a lot of wonderful artefacts of the bygone era that gives you a little bit of insight to the complicated colonial past of Indonesia.
Cafe Batavia: Little has changed in this quaint and classy cafe since the 1920s. Being here is like being transported back in time.
Taman Mini: A showcase of the architectural distinctiveness and diversity of Indonesia and reflects the beauty of their culture and people.
And the most beautiful gem of them all was my little niece, with whom I got the chance to play and have fun with.
