Entrance to Istiqlal Mosque... It has taken me sooo long to finally visit!

The mosque can hold a capacity of 120,000 people... now that I would love to see...

Hi,
great website you’ve got here! I love it, it’s funny, speaks so much about Jakarta, and I love the fact that you girls can enjoy the chaos!
Anyhoo, I myself , being a moslem and have been living in Jakarta since 2002, haven’t been to Istiqlal, not even once! The plan is in this Ramadhan month for the night prayers (tarawih), but I have to check with traffic!
Oh did I tell you I love your website?
😀
Oh you must visit Istiqlal! I would love to see it during Ramadhan but not sure if we would be allowed in while everyone is praying… but I am sure it is a spectacular scene to see! Thanks so much for your lovely message and I LOVE your website too… so informative and you’ve been to so many amazing places… wow, it’s the way life should be xxxxxxx
