Taman Mini

And then my sister came to Jakarta...

We had so much fun! My friends were so great! They had a whole itinerary for us while she was here. I had to work some of the time, and my friends even took care of my sister during my work time! They are fabulous!

The big event we took Jen (my sister) to was Taman Mini and Bogor...

Taman Mini is sort of like a huge fair. Its a place that represents every island of the country. There are almost 3,000 islands in Indonesia and every one has its own culture and often times its own language. We walked around and visited so many different islands and cultures... if you don't have time to visit every place in Indonesia, Taman Mini gives you a good idea of the different cultures and things on the islands. It was great!
