Jakarta, A Complete Hometown

Jakarta, My Hometown, nowadays has growing to be a metropolis city with many of culture and adopted lifestyles. The title Capital City of Indonesia makes Jakarta become the center of politic, economic, and social life of this country. With all of the facilities and life style, Jakarta becomes most modern city in Indonesia. Here many of skyscraper building such as office, apartment, and mall continuously built. These things makes Jakarta don’t look like ain’t other city in Indonesia.( This paragraph has many topics)

One kind of life style in Jakarta’s is high mobility life. The reason is mostly who called themselves Jakarta’s people don’t live in this city. They mostly live in Jakarta surroundings, such as Bogor, Depok, Tanggerang, and Bekasi. All of those commuters with high mobility life make Jakarta’s people feel they need their own transportation. Not only public transportations such as Trans Jakarta (bus way), taxi, and bajaj, but also millions of private cars and motorcycles fully loaded Jakarta’s road. This situation makes either weekday or weekend Jakarta has a heavy traffic. The strange thing mostly Jakarta’s people felt this life style is always be the part of their life. (Is it the life style? Is it the need of high mobility? Do you think high mobility is the life style?)

Jakarta also completed with many of facilities and places to go, from the educated places to entertainment places. This city has a great number of schools and university that have a good reputation. Not only for the students to educated, but Jakarta also have many museums and monuments for everyone who want to learn about past. Offices here are uncountable anymore, because millions of people work in Jakarta either they are this citizen or not.

For the entertainment part, uncountable places located in Jakarta. In North Jakarta, there is a place called “Ancol Bay City”. This tour place offered you many kinds of entertainment, such as Atlantis pool, bay and beach with lot of water sports, Seaworld, and Fantasy Park called “Dunia Fantasi”. Jakarta is also full of places of night life like night club, pub and bar. There so many cinema, malls, salon and spa, and other entertainment places to go too in Jakarta. It will satisfied you with all of the spots.

If you love sport you can find many sport places. The center actually is in Senayan area. However you want other experiences you can go to horse riding stadium and Go-kart race. If you kind of person who prefer doing sports in indoor place, so you also can go to fitness center at the mall.

In addition for who loves culinary you will pleasant too in Jakarta. It because Jakarta is like a culinary heaven which are many kind of restaurant, cafe, and good food spots places here. If I can suggest places like Muara karang, Kemang Street, Gading Food City, Setiabudi One Building can be worth to fulfill your eating experience.

Nothing you can’t get to complete what you need in Jakarta. There always many places to shop you can go by. A big range of classes makes Jakarta have several different classes shopping area. You can get what you need with your own budget. If you an upper classes, you will pleasant with a great number of shopping malls in every part of Jakarta. That shopping mall such as Plaza Indonesia, Senayan City, Sudirman Place, Pondok Indah Mall, or many else sell brand in good atmosphere, good presentations, high quality, and definitely with upper prices too. Unless you have a big budget you can also have goods with middle prices. The shopping malls that sell in middle prices are ITC or WTC, such as Mangga Dua, Ambassador (Kuningan), and Cempaka Mas. These malls were selling a small industry brand and many of them were selling the high branded imitations, such as Prada, Gucci, Channel, LV, and many else. For the lower budget, you don’t have to worry, because Jakarta is full of public markets that selling goods in very low prices. This market places in every part of Jakarta, for example Tebet Market, Senen Market, Poncol, Mayestik Market, Benhil Market, and Tanah Abang Market. So, I think an aphorism of those all is “Someone who says money can’t buy happiness, they don’t know where to shop”.

So that’s it that I want to tell about Jakarta. Not about the culture what I’m talking about but mostly about what Jakarta has. At the last Jakarta is complete city where the people can do their total activity life here. Experience lives in Jakarta as a hometown make me want to say, however this city become anything tomorrow Jakarta always be my complete hometown.

Thanks for posting.
