Local celebrities let bknow they were here!
Taxis at Pizza man round about.
I want to know the name of the wonderful park where there is a multitude of birds housed in very large round and enclosed structures, where visitors can walk along and observe the birds very close. It has plenty of vegetation and it is fascinating to see the feeders providing food to the birds.
At the entrance there is a pond stocked with large fish that people could even touch.
I visited the place over twenty years ago, but I can not find the name or the location. I would like to get a description, pictures, videos, presentations, etc.
Thanks for your help
It may be Ragunan Zoo or Taman Mini Indonesia (www.tamanmini.com)
The Taman Mini does have a big aviary section with lots of birds, it's pretty good.
Yes, the Taman Burung is the one I was looking for. It is part of TMII and I had not looked deep enough into all its sections.
Terimah Kasi
Yes....the place you mentioned above was in TAMAN MINI INDONESIA INDAH (TMII), various kinds of birds housed in a large round and enclosed structures and you could find a pond with fishes inside the bird house
Traffic in Jakarta is crazy. As I look outside my hotel window over the highway and roads below ,it seems to be congested all the time. The only time when the roads was not that congested was on Sunday. They also have a policy in Jakarta that you not allowed to ride with less than 3 people per car in peak hour and think that last up until 10 am just incase you plan on renting a car. Going to Mangga Dua shopping mall and taking almost a hour to move about 2km.
That's me and my Indonesian girlfriend, Adriani (Rini)... who was trying her utmost to be a good tour guide. And I must admit... She IS very good! Oh, and that's us outside the Disney-like castle on the grounds of 'Taman Mini'...

If you are at afternoon in center of Jakarta and have a good taxi driver, make a stop at the Independence Monument -
the "Monumen Proklamasi".
Let the driver wait and see the memorial.
Place and monument remembers at the foundation of Indonesia, so to Mr. Sukarno, the first president of Indonesia and Mr. M. Hatta.
Not so much tourist know this place.
In the afternoon like here, children of neigbourship play a little football -
and the greater boys use the place as welcome free space for prove their sideboards - see at photo, so like in every great citys.
The second Photo is seen the table with the text of independence declaraton.
Shopping at Pasaraya, Jakarta's largest department store, was a great experience.The top two floors were full of traditional items from all over Indonesia. The quality in most cases was very good and there were many useful products for the home.
I collect recipes from other countries and like to have typical momentos adding to the decor of a nice dinner, featuring a particular country's menu. So, this section of Pasaraya was a candyland for me. I bought gifts to bring home for friends and family. For myself, a handmade batik table cloth with napkins, a tape of Javanese drum music and small serving dishes for sambals which were easy to find at Pasaraya.
Of course, there is much more to this huge department store besides handicrafts, especially women's fashions and lovely perfumes.
