              tired things just dissapeared by itself. I just can't wait to travel 

               around this city.
Dian     :  Is this you first time visited Indonesia?
Drew    :  Yes, it's my first time.
Dian     : You will love being here. let's start it, Jakarta is capital city of

               Indonesia. Now we are at The Nationality Museum, we usually 

               called it "MONAS" or we know it in Bahasa is Monumen
               Nasional. Monas. Monas was opened to the public in 1975. 

               The monument and the museum are open daily from 

               08.00-15.00, except for the last Monday of each month when  

               the monument is closed.
Drew    : Oh.. ehmm.. Dian, what is that? the shiny thing on the top of 

               the monument?
Dian     : Oh... It means fire, if you see the monument clearly you can

               see the monument is like a huge torch and the fire was made

               from pure gold. Monas is topped by a 14.5 ton bronze Flame 

              of Independence containing the lift engine. The base of the
              flame, in the shape of a  goblet, is 3 metres high. The bronze
              flame structure measures 14 metres in height and 6 metres in
              diameter, It consists of 77 sections. Originally the bronze flame
              structure was covered with 35 kg of gold foil. However during
             the 50 anniversary of Indonesian independence in 1995,
             the gold foil was recoated and increased to 50 kg gold foil.

               Indonesian heros. Lets entering this monument.
