Toko Merah
1 saveRecommendation by Lemi
Wind down from the bustle of Fatahillah Square and its nearby attractions. Toko Merah is somewhat in the periphery, inspiring curiosity by its shocking red exterior (hence the name “Red Shop”) and its roster of influential residents. It was home to several Governor Generals of the Indies, the first being Baron Gustaaf Willem van Imhoff. Forego the hi-tech displays and flashy exhibits to revel in the old-school charm that radiates from this old house. Built in 1730, it is also one of the oldest buildings in Jakarta. The towering windows bring in lots of light, while the elegant interiors inspire a photo op or two for soon-to-weds and tourists. They hold irregular opening hours, so impromptu visits are hit-or-miss. Either way, the facade is always crowded with people taking mandatory pictures with the crimson walls.
Jalan Kali Besar Barat No. 11, Roa Malaka, Tambora, West Jakarta, Jakarta, Indonesia

Palawan Butterfly Ecological Garden and Tribal Village
You’ll learn the life cycle of the butterfly at the butterfly garden. Besides the butterfly garden was the Tribal Village where the indigenous people of Palawan stayed for a while.We were humbled when we saw how they live and survive, how they hunt for food and how they entertain themselves up on the mountain. These people don’t speak nor understand Filipino and English language but they were able to express themselves through their actions. Meeting with these people creates compassion. You will learn that earning a minimum wage isn’t bad at all, it’s better to have money to buy food than to hunt for food on your own.
