A few months ago, in an attempt to explore more of Jakarta, we set out for the Museum Satria Mandala (Armed Forces Museum). The grounds are huge and before you even set foot into the museum, you have the opportunity to touch, climb on, and explore a military tank, helicopter, airplane, rocket, and ship. Once inside, we learned more about Indonesia's fight for independence. In true Indonesia fashion, they had several good diorama type displays and most everything had an explanation in English as well as Bahasa Indonesia. The basement held display case after display case of military arms and even some rockets. We ventured out the back door to find several military vehicles on display including Chris & Andy's favorite (airplanes). The grounds were beautiful and we all had fun learning more about the history of Indonesia while also checking out some cool military equipment.
