MY HOLIDAY IN JAKARTA Last year, I went to Jakarta for a short holiday. I was very excited because it was my first time visiting the capital city of Indonesia.

I also learned about Indonesian history inside the museum at the base of Monas. After that, I went to Tanah Abang Market. The market was very crowded, but it was also fun.

Sampai-sampai aku s...
