Keraton Surakarta (Surakarta's Palace)

Continuation of the Tour de Solo
-------------------------------------------------

In Surakarta's Palace I looked some heritages of the old times of the palace, and some historical stuffs. There are also some traditional stuffs that are still in use until today. I was guided by Mr. Anto, the officer of tour guide there. He explained me about the history and also about the use of many things there.

I don't think I can give so many description in this post about my little tour. Well, after I arrived there, I purchased the ticket, then I entered and I looked around the inside park before I looked at the museum. The inside park has some beauriful trees and the land was covered by white sands. It's so much beautiful, indeed.



as it's seen, there is a place in the inside park, becuase actually the inside park is directly connected to the residence of the family of the palace. I don't know what that place is used for, perhaps something ceremonial.

Monumen Pers Nasional Indonesia (National Monument of Press of Indonesia)

Continuation of the Tour de Solo
-------------------------------------------------

After taking city bus (ATMO) I then dropped at the National Monument of Press of Indonesia. I was explained about several things there related to the development of press of Indonesia. Actually the building had just been renovated lately before I came there, that's why I could only enjoy the museum mostly.

above is one of the examples of the old newspaper Indonesia had years ago. It is kept well as it is framed to be exhibited to the visitors.

The museum. Actually this place (read: National Monument of Press) has many functions. There are rooms for seminar, exhibiton, museum, etc.

It is an old telegram kept in the museum. As for me, it's quite impressive to see such thing.

One of the important figures in Indonesia's press. I forgot his name, but I remembered that I was explained he was involved in press in Timor-timor (now Timor Leste). He died in accident when he was flying with his parachute. Stuffs around the picture are his favorite stuffs.
Anyway, because I almost completely forget about the whole explanation back then, so please forgive me if my description about this national figure in picture is wrong.

Those ten statues are the statues of the face of the ten figures who preceded the National Monument of Press of Indonesia by establishing conference of press.

Diorama that models how the press in Indonesia worked in the past. It looks good and interesting, isn't it?

It's the stone of official establisment of the National Monument pf Press of Indonesia. It was officially signed by Soeharto in 1978, the Presidend of Republic of Indonesia back then.

other stuffs in the museum.

The last picture I took before I left. It's in front of the entrance

Tour de Solo

On March, 30th of 2011 on Wednesday I had my little tour around Solo. Actually I had planned this since more than a month ago after reading the post of my friend in her blog. Beside, I thought that I never had visited some good places before, so that it might be interesting to have my own adventure alone.

Based on plan, I was supposed to visit 3 places: National Monument of Press of Indonesia, Surakarta's Palace (Keraton Surakarta), and also Sriwedari Park, which then I would have lunch at Tony Jack. However, becuase of some accidents, I departed late in the middle day and unfortunately, It was raining right after I finished looking around at Surakarta's Palace. Hence, finally I was only able to visit National Monument of Press of Indonesia and Surakarta's Palace, then I went home.

I think I will have another tour to visit some other places in Solo. Besides, having a trip alone like an adventure is so much exciting, especially to take some pictures.

Anyway, I will post the pictures I took at National Monument of Press of Indonesia and Surakarta's Palace in different two posts. So there will be 2 other posts than this one about my tour. This part is to tell a little story about the tour I had.

I departed at around 12 by taking public transportation, the city bus called ATMO. it costed IDR 2,000 for me to take that bus.

ATMO, the city bus

After I arrived at the National Monument of Press, I then took a tour looking at the museum there. I was explained about several things related to the museum and the development of press in Indonesia. They've collected the mass media (newspaper) since 1970s 'till now. I guess we can have many information about what what happened in the past through the newspaper collected there.

After I finished satisfying mysef there, I then continued to Solo's Keraton (Surakarta's Palace) by taking public car transportation. I asked the security in National Monument of Press about how to get there, actually. I paid IDR 2,500 for taking this public transportation.

I then arrived in Surakarta's Palace. FYI, the ticket price to get in to the palace is IDR 10,000. I think it's quite expensive for Solo.

After I finished looking around at Surakarta's Palace, I then went home because it was raining hard, that I didn't think I could continue my adventure to Sriwedari Park and had lunch at Tony Jack. I went home taking the public bus transportation called Batik Solo Trans. It's very similar to Trans Jakarta Bus, but a little bit cheaper; only IDR 3,000.
