Jakarta become real lively at night. All the street food vendors come out and sell all sorts of food from Nasi Goreng to fruit smoothies.

We visited a think tank named after a former Indonesia president, Habibie. We were briefed on Indoensian-ASEAN-US Relations by the Executive Director and the ASEAN Program Manager. 

After our visit to the US Embassy we went to visit the Indonesian National Museum. The museum had a collection of statues such as this one of Buddha to recognize the importance and diversity of religion in Indonesia's history.

To learn more about Islam and its influence on Indonesia we visited an Islamic boarding school. The kids we were really excited to get visitors from America. 

On our last day in Jakarta we went to visit @America. A place that promotes American cultures abroad. Look who we ran into while there. The POTUS!!!!

Getting excited about our last field trip in Jakarta.  

We were so thrilled to see an AU decal hanging at the @America Center.
