JAKARTA， BIG DURIAN， A CITY WE LEARN TO LOVE

As a capital city with rich history， Jakarta faces dilemma in the blending of tradition and modernity. The imprints of history have gradually fading in line with the development of the times， as the relentless process results in imbalance and unevenness. Therefore， when you are in the midst of Jakartas traffic congestion， it becomes very difficult for you to love this place. However， you will start understanding， forgiving and attaching hope for its future， when you realize that over 17 million inhabitants who have converged here are coping with same problems.

IN TOUCH WITH THE SOUL OF JAKARTA

Old town is the soul of a city. For Jakarta with a modern administrative center on golden triangle， its old town Kota also known as Old Jakarta， once a center of commerce for the whole continent due to its strategic location and abundant resources， has gained more nostalgia. Fatahillah Square is a 1.8 acre paved open space that used to be the social and political center of the Dutch empire in the East Indies. The Stadthuis to its south used to be the headquarters of the Dutch East India Company and the Dutch colonial government. Across the square from the Batavia Caféstands the Jakarta History Museum， housing documents dating back to pre-colonial times， and weapons from European and Indonesian powers alike. Once the Museum closed at dusk， local street artists would take over the space， staging customs performance. For instance， a barrel clown in folk costume， who in semicrouching position held a wooden barrel on his back； his companion， a symbol of justice， swung violently lash flogging the barrel and ground as punishment. It lacked aesthetic beauty， but it lauded justice in an original fashion.

MELTING POT OF FOOD

Jakarta has a vast range of food available at hundreds of eating complexes located all over the city， from modest street-side foodstalls and traveling vendors to the high-class expensive restaurants. However， authentic Indonesian dishes are still most appealing. Some popular dishes that originated in Indonesia are now common across much of Southeast Asia. Like the splendid natural landscapes of Indonesia， spices mixture or seasoning become the integral part of Indonesian cuisine.
