Great Asian Railway Journeys

INHALT

In the heaving capital city of Jakarta, Michael uncovers Indonesia's Dutch colonial past and its rich history as a port but discovers its future is uncertain. He negotiates the city's notorious traffic, makes a colourful cycle ride, tries the newly launched MRT metro and dines out on Jakarta's famous street food. He admires Bogor's Botanical Gardens, now a centre for research and conservation, and finds they were developed by an Englishman, Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, once Governor of Java.
