My Jakarta Trip: Monas, Planetarium, Senen

two days ago (July 29, 2009) my friends and i went to Monumen Nasional or Monas for short. we went there by express train from Stasiun Bekasi (=Bekasi Station) by Rp 9.000,00. from Bekasi we went at 8AM and arrived in Gambir Station around 9AM. we can already see Monas from that green station (lol, Gambir Station's painted by green paint).

we don't need take any bus or taxi to get to Monas since it's really near. just walking, guys... although it's still 9AM, it's sure really hot 083_v2 (uhm, maybe it's d effect of being at home all day lol). my friends even considered to take Monas' car, i named it :P. the car is like a train. do you get it? gosh, it's pitty, i didn't take a pic. okay, back to my story, in the end we decided to go straightly to the Monas' Museum. the ticket for adult is Rp 8.000,00 while for kid, student, and college student is the half: Rp 4.000,00.

entering d museum was a great idea since the weather outside was hot, yet in d museum was cool by AC. 035 we saw many awesome dioramas which showed us Indonesian history. my friends n i agreed that our tour here was no different with study tour XD. the difference was we didn't have to take notes! hahaha. yet, we discussed a lot about the dioramas we saw. yeah, it's kind like a review about history lesson when we were in school 096.

after had a history review, we decided to go to the top of Monas. before that, we entered to Independence Hall. i don't know why, but i can't remember what it's called in Bahasa Indonesia. i just remembered the English! the hall is sure really quite. we just entered awhile 105 coz we didn't really sure whether actually we were allowed to enter or not.

when we went out from the Independence Hall, we found the lift to the Monas' top. there are 3 floors in Monas. the top is the 3rd floor. it was great seeing Jakarta from above. lol, actually d last time visited Monas, when i was in primary school. you could see Jakarta using binocular by Rp 1.500,00 per coin. yet, it's pity that pollution makes the sky isn't clear.

if you wanna back to d first floor, u just can reach to d second, then you have to use downstairs. my friends and i had lunch at the second floor. whoaah, it's like a picnic! 084 after that, we took many pics with sculptures in Monas Park. the pics are awesome! maybe i'll put one or two when i get from my friends :D

our next place: Planetarium. i really looked forward visiting Planetarium. this place is always become a destination for studytour. too bad, i hadn't been there :(. the bad news is we couldn't visit Planetarium that time, coz seems like a travel agent rent that place. however, the staff said, we could visit it at 4:30PM. actually it didn't matter for me, yet there was a friend who couldn't go home late. soooo... seems like i couldn't visit Planetarium this time too 064

our first plan was visiting Monas and Planetarium. since we couldn't visit Planetarium, we thought about an alternative. my friends wanted to shop in Senen. hufff... i've been there and actually i don't wanna go there now. yet, i just agreed coz i didn't have any idea. there, my friends bought second manga and dvd's. for dvd, my friends bought many... omg, it was a bit boring for me since i wasn't really interested 037. yet, it was fun, seeing everybody was really happy seeing their favorite actors and without hesitation bought the dvd :D. guess how many dvd's they bought? it's 30! 001

feeling statisfied after shopping, we wre ready to go home. we went home by train from Senen Station by Rp 4.500,00. however, i arrived at home around 4:30PM. tired, sleepy, happy, and regret can't visit Planetarium.... 003
