Museum Bank Indonesia

The center of Jakarta has quite a few museums. By far the most impressive is the Museum Bank Indonesia. The museum was opened by Bank Indonesia in 2009. When visiting the museum you will see how the history of banking developed in Indonesia. The banking system was implemented and managed by the Dutch and it all started by trading with spices.

Jakarta

After a lovely stay at Komodo Islands it was time to head to new destination. We decided to fly to Java's capital - Jakarta.


As soon as we found a hotel and dropped our luggage, we went to see the city. Jakarta is known as developed city in Indonesia and as a financial center. The locals are very proud of their capital. The city was different than what we saw so far. Skyscrapers and arranged infrastructure made us wonder, if we are still in Indonesia.



Deutsche Bank in Jakarta.

In the center we went to see their famous National Monument - Monas.


It was a very hot day and we felt a bit tired, so we decided to go for a drink. Boris tried the famous kopi luwak coffee and Jerneja couldn't resist the avocado shake.


While we were wandering around the city, we could still see some typical Indonesia things.





At the end of the day we even found the Hard Rock Cafe.
Who wore it better?
