The Adventure of North Jakarta: Mangrove PIK

Hello guys? How have you been? Sorry, I've not posted for awhile. Now, I wanna tell ya my trip to Mangrove Pantai Indah Kapuk, North Jakarta. Monday, when Chinese celebrated their New Year, my friend and I spent day off to Mangrove. Why Mangrove? It's not too far from my house, we wanted to see something with green colour, and also we avoided bad traffic jam in the morning.
Sometimes traffic jam in Jakarta's such a silly person which I can't tolerate, and it can ruin my trip.

At 7 A.M we took a busway TransJakarta 9th corridor Pinang Ranti-Pluit. As usual, it eas still morning, it's only payed 3500 IDR. Next, we have to transit 1st Corridor Blok M-Kota at Semanggi Stop and continue to Bendungan Hilir Stop by walk. After that, we took off at Monas (Monumen Nasional) Stop, and took on BKTB (Bus Kota Terintegrasi Busway) Monas-Pantai Indah Kapuk. BKTB is minibus or van which has blue and white colour. If you're still not sure, just ask the employees that will help you.

FYI: For you who take on the bus 9th Corridor, just take off at Penjaringan Stop. BKTB go by way of Penjaringan Stop, but the return doesn't.

At 9.30 A.M we arrived at Yayasan Buda Tzu Chi which has unique and artistic Chinese building. My first thought about the building was kind of Borobudur shaped coz it's named Buda (sounds like Budha). If you're confused where the building is, just ask the driver or assistant. Mangroove is located behind Yayasan Buda Tzu Chi, so we had to go there on walk and took some photos. It was not too far actually, but some people like me who rarely exercise, was a little exhausted.

Mangrove PIK has many spots such as Rumah Perkemahan, Beach Area, using Cano and many more. In addition, I suggest to bring the lunchbox because there are no dish but Pop Mie.
