Jakartans flock to recreational spots

JAKARTA: Jakartans enjoyed relatively smooth traffic on most
of the city's roads on the first day of 2002, with congestion
only occurring in the vicinity of popular recreation spots.

After seeing in the New Year the night before, thousands of
people continued the celebrations by flocking to well-known
attractions such as Ancol Dreamland in North Jakarta, Indonesia
miniature park TMII in East Jakarta, Ragunan zoo in South Jakarta
and the National Monument (Monas) park in Central Jakarta.

Most of the facilities had accommodated revellers welcoming in
the New Year on Monday night, but people still had to queue to
get in.

Ancol Dreamland provided lots of entertainment including
Dufan fantasy world, the Gelanggang Samudra swimming pools and
Sea World, which features various forms of marine life.

TMII hosted a dangdut music show, while visitors to Ragunan
Zoo were able to enjoy the fresh air as they watched the animals
in their enclosures. --JP
