Kebun Raya Bogor 3

Jan18

Stuck in the city blocks of Jakarta with all it’s traffic & pollution can be so…depressing sometimes. I live in a small apartment, work in a small office space in a commercial building, and hangout in malls. I do feel like have to ‘get out’ every now and then to escape the walls, the outlets, the same old thing.

But Where? Of course i can simply go to some spa destination, or to other city or even overseas, but it will cost too much and not doable in weekly basis. So this is where i went last weekend

Kebun Raya Bogor! Yap it’s located in Bogor (around 1 - 1,5 hour drive from Jakarta) and i love every minute of my time there! the weather was perfect, it’s so peacefull, serene & pretty well maintained. I’m surprised there aren’t many people around enjoying the glorious garden!

Located in 85-hectare area with more than 15.ooo collection of trees & plants, it can be a very long walk as you can imagine. Every plant & tree we walked by has a name tag, but without further explanation.

Too bad i didn’t get to finished the track because it’s started to rain a little (don’t forget umbrella next time, it rains a lot around here). Walking around the garden with a red umbrella while it’s rain is a pretty romantic thought^^

After tired walking around, we went to cafe deDaun (inside the complex), to have some drinks & snack while enjoying the sunset from the cafe’s porch. Overall, it’s a perfect way to spend sunday afternoon away from home.

I have never find online store in Indonesia that sell home & living stuff,so i’m pretty excited when i found MANGKY.COM This online store only have 2 categories of products currently : lamps (table lamps & standing lamps) & decorative pillows

I remember lusting over some decorative pillows at index furnishing the other day, but my-oh-my, at over Rp 100,000,- per pillow is too much for me. At Mangky’s you can find pretty decorative pillows at only Rp 30,000,- each.

And ohhh, i love this standing decorative lamps in flowery green!, it’s perfect to add a little dash of color & pattern in my-all-too-plain-livingroom.

These fancy lamps are also perfect forb’day gifts for your friends!
