Favorite thing: The main Mosque and the not far catholic church seen from the top of the national monument.The view from the top of the monument was not that great if i think to the long que to enter, I guess going there after sunset, when Jakarta turn on its lights is much better.

Favorite thing: the central monument is nice to visit,because you will see and hear very few cars;you can go up to the top with a lift;the istiqlal mosque is also a big monument
