Good morning and welcome to the busy bustling streets of Jakarta, Indonesia. Well I have arrived in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia. Now has a reputation for being a bit of a busy traffic clock city and I must admit there's a lot of traffic. But while I'm here I might as well have a look around and see what it has to offer. So I've got a grab taxi, I'm going to start at the Monument in Medeka Park and show you a few of the highlights of this beautiful vibrant city and busy city. Woo it's hot, well I arrived at Monument for my grab taxi, I got out a lot of police around and then went to the entrance but it's Monday. I've got only a lot of things in Jakarta are closed on Monday including the Monas, the Medeka Park and the Museum. So, ah scuppet, I have to go there tomorrow and show you that. As for today I'm still carrying on my walk through the city parts, through the central part, heading to the mosque now and the cathedral, hoping that they're not closed on a Monday and that I'll be able to get in and show you those. Welcome to the largest mosque in Southeast Asia. Now this is the, let me get from this correctly, the Istiklal mosque which is the Arabic word for independence and it was built in 1978 after 17 years of construction. Now the idea behind building it was to promote a multi-faith cultural society in independent Indonesia and it is enormous, you can fit 200,000 people in here. 200,000 people, that is a lot of people. Now because it was built to celebrate the independence which was in 1945 or the proclamation of independence should I say. The dome which I'll show you in a second is 45 square meters representing 1945. There's also seven entrances into the mosque representing the seven heavens believed of in the Muslim faith. Anyway, enough of that, let me show you this beautiful, beautiful mosque. So I hope to see some kids who lived in this satisfying home with hearts that haven't interacted with the inch of the six fourth düşünment model in their first half of history. The mosque is beautiful. You can enter, it's free to enter, but obviously you've got to be respectful. Ladies, cover shoulders and everybody where leg covering and no shorts, cover your legs and obviously take your shoes off and there is wash places to wash your hands and feet before you come into the mosque. Now if you're not a Muslim, you're not allowed on the bottom floor on the big red carpet, that is for worshipers only, but you are allowed to go around the outside and there is a balcony where I'm sitting at the moment overlooking the floor where you're allowed to go. You are allowed currently to take photographs and pictures, but obviously be respectful and don't disturb anybody who is worshiping here. Now as you exit the Ishta Klaal mosque, right opposite on the other side of the road is Jakarta's neogothic Roman Catholic Cathedral, the church of our Lady of Assumption. Now it's no coincidence that the mosque was built opposite this church. The idea of the first president of independent Indonesia was to symbolise a nation's philosophy of unity, university where all religions could coexist in peace and harmony. So the current building is as it was restored in 1901, the original building was actually built in 1829, but built, well, collapsed during an earthquake in 1890. So let's go and take a look around. Good evening and welcome to one of Jakarta's oldest shopping streets. And now this is called Pasa Baru and it's right in the heart of Jakarta. It's near some of the busiest business places you will find in the city and it is famous for its cheap clothes. It was nicknamed Little India because a lot of Indians came and settled here and set up textile businesses here, hence the production of lots and lots of nice cheap clothing and materials. So and it's not a tourist market. In fact, can't see another tourist inside. It's really a local clothing where the locals go shopping. So you can pick up some really good bargains here as long as you don't get run over by a bike on the way. So it's going to have a look around to some shopping. And of course, if you want shopping, Jakarta has malls. If you don't want to stop on the streets, be on the supermarket with brand names and mall food, oh, you can find it. But what you have to do is pick which floor. And of course, no day in Jakarta will be complete without mentioning street food. It doesn't matter which part of the city you are in, in the evenings, it bursts into life everywhere and you will find lots of places like this where eateries, different kinds, cooking the food, fresh up, there is the sit. And enjoy your food. There's sort of communal match. You just sit on the corner, eat your food, you take your shoes up before sitting on and just enjoy delicious home-cooked food and a bit of a friendly company. Even if you can't speak the same language, you can sign, you can say hi, you can show each other good food. While they can show you the food, you can eat it and see what you think anyway.
