Jakartans swamp recreation centers

The majority of people, including non-Muslims, made the most of
the extended Idul Fitri holiday. Some traveled overseas or
visited resorts in Java, Bali, North Sulawesi or North Sumatra,
but most stayed close to home and spent their time at recreation
centers.

performance after viewing caged animals in the zoo. Almost all
recreation centers in the province are putting on concerts to
attract more visitors. Unlike zoo visitors, dozens of children in
Panjang Village in Bojong Gede, Bogor, are satisfied with a
traditional merry-go-round ride (above), which costs Rp 1,000
each.
