Following a fulfilling few days in Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital, I decided to take a break from the city and catch the next train out of Stasiun Jakarta Kota.
Without any particular plan, I was excited to see where my adventure would take me. After the spectacle of the Dirgahayu TNI military display, and indeed the threat of food poisoning in Glodok market, I was hoping to find something more relaxing for my downtime over the weekend.
The next service was to Bogor, a town that (according to some on-the-move research on wikipedia) was known for its epic botanical gardens (Kebun Raya Bogor) and presidential palace (Istana Bogor).
However, as idyllic as this sounded, I also learned that Bogor is regarded as one of the most overcrowded cities in the world – with 87% humidity and 23 days of rainfall per month…
Alas, my hopes of escaping the clutches of the capital and the heat were dashed, but I was still determined to see the sights and uncover more about the Dutch colonial history.
As I ventured towards the park, past the sign for Alun-Alun Kota Bagor, I soon learned of the city’s pollution, which made reaching the gardens all the more of a relief.
Having taken a few selfies with the friendly local Indonesian people, I explored the botanical gardens and made my way towards the presidential palace, and Dutch cemetery to absorb more of what Bogor is about.
Suitably impressed, I left the green oasis and made my way back to the station through the increasing traffic and pollution to catch the train back to Jakarta. But I must admit, given the unreal humidity, I was looking forward to a cold shower and couple of Bintang’s at my hotel overlooking Jakarta’s epic skyline.

P.S. Given my former professional background as an investment manager, personal finance is something that I strongly believe in.
I’ll be working on a side project in the coming months to help educate people around how investments work, sharing some of the tips and tricks that I used in the City before I embarked on my adventures.
In the meantime, you can see which stocks I’m invested in, and how well (or badly) I’m doing, via the link below:

Nice video..watching from jakarta
Welcome in Bogor, city 1000 angkot.
You are very adventurous. If you want to visit another city, take the long distant trains to Bandung or Jogjakarta or Surabaya. Safe travel!
i am jakarta people. i dont understand suksuma. this is not bali
You can also using LRT to Bogor
Lu kok ngomong sendiri sih bang?
13:52 "Suksma" is Balinese, the locals may not understand you. Try "Nuhun", which means thank you in Sundanese, the language native to the region
Do you want to get a lot of spectators, try visiting one of the mountains and lakes in Indonesia, namely Mount Bromo, Mount Rinjani, Lake Toba, there are beautiful views ☺
Go to borobudur temple😊
You have to learn Indonesian !
That's the key for all foreigners who start vlogging in Indonesia.
Everyone has no previous subscriptions! When they vlog and learn Indonesian their subscribers increase by 500k.
That's the key! ❤
you're funny
OMG! There was me at 02:04. I accidently saw your video on my YouTube's home and lead to these video. When i saw it, i knew these lad whose i saw at the train station, doing the vlogging lol 🤭🤣
Speaking of video, i'm glad you've enjoyed Bogor by visit the Botanical Garden. Well, you can try to say "Hatur Nuhun" next time 😉
I hope you have a good time in my country, mate 🙏🏼 i hope to see you around
