It was our last day in Jakarta before we left. Mr. Han brought us to the well known recreation park and we did enjoy ourselves with all the shows being performed, the crew really did a great job in managing the recreation park and the creatures there.

"Ocean Dream Samudra features several animal shows, a small aquarium, and a 4D theater. The trained animal shows include a dolphin show and sea lion show. The 4D theater projects 3D image movies with sensations such as cool breezes and water sprays located inside a large building with Mesoamerican pyramid theme. On 2011 Ocean Dream Samudra will be revitalized with the budget Rp.27 billion ($3.1 million). Ocean Dream Samudra now held "Under the Sea Musical Dance" attraction at Underwater Theater." - Wikipedia

We watched most of the show, however I missed the mermaid show (aka Underwater Theater)! :( Which I really would love to watch it! I went for nature call (washroom) that time.

China Town was made out of a few streets with shops of Chinese Indonesian business people. I have come across that I saw a few shops were selling meat and vegetables, and more over some Chinese New Year goodies too. 

China Town was seen not manageable by the local authority, the cleanliness of that area was really bad. :(

Came across with the dragon puppet which I never saw in K.K. It was adorable and that man really smiled when I took his photo. :D
