Bogor - another weekend trip
Since it is Chinese new year holiday we've decided to head down to Bogor for a couple of days,no real plans will see what happens down there. (Though I will pack the golf clubs, just in case!)

Quote:
Some 60 km south of
Jakarta, Bogor is the "bo" of the massive
Jabotabek conurbation, with 3,000,000 people or so of its own. The town was the capital of Indonesia during the brief British occupation, and under the name
Buitenzorg was also the summer capital of the Dutch in the hot dry season. Located 290 meters above sea level, Bogor is noticeably cooler than the torrid lowlands, and the place where many of the Indonesian elite have their villas. Once a place of beauty, rapid development has turned central Bogor into the same congested mess as every other Indonesian city, but there are still rivers, canals, red-roofed houses, mosques, churches, trees, flowers and views of nearby Mount Salak to be had.
