The many faces of Jakarta; a melting pot of commerce, politics, nightlife, traffic, historic sites and shopping malls. This massive city is not to everyone’s taste as it is certainly not aesthetically pleasing upon first encounter and is particularly hectic as far as Asian cities go. But for those stopping over there are definitely corners of the city worth exploring. For example the atmospheric Old City with charmingly shabby colonial buildings, a handful of good quality museums, colonial cathedrals and ornate mosques.
Travel Tip #53
The best time to visit Borobudur is during July and August when the sun rises between the peaks of Agung Merapi and Agung Merbabu.
