▣ What kind of city is Jakarta, Indonesia?
Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, is the largest city in Southeast Asia, home to over 10 million people. While it's a city plagued by traffic congestion, environmental pollution, and widespread wealth disparity, it's also a place where you can encounter diverse religions, traditional cultures, and a diverse range of ethnic groups living together in mutual respect. Taman Mini, Jakarta's largest cultural park, showcases the unique traditional attire, dances, and lifestyles of the diverse ethnic groups living across Indonesia's islands. Furthermore, Istiqlal Mosque, Islam's holiest site, sits opposite the Catholic Jakarta Cathedral, a testament to Jakarta's generous embrace and respect for other religions.
Indonesia has a painful history, having been a fierce battleground for Western powers to seize control of its abundant natural resources. In Kota Tua, Indonesia's former capital, traces of its long history under Dutch rule remain intact. The building that once served as the Dutch Governor's Residence remains a popular café, and the Jakarta History Museum offers a glimpse into the struggles of Indonesian independence activists. Jakarta has steadily grown to become a city that is increasingly attracting global attention, as evidenced by its selection as the host city for the 2018 Summer Asian Games.

▣ Information in the book
[World City Exploration Comic History Facts] effectively conveys common sense about the history and culture of cities around the world by inserting information pages related to the story at the end of each chapter. [Treasure Hunt in Jakarta] includes basic Jakarta facts, including Jakarta's location, climate, industry, and the lifestyles of its citizens, as well as a Jakarta at a Glance page that introduces key locations in Jakarta using maps, photos, and text. Furthermore, the book explores Jakarta's history, which covers over ten name changes, including Sunda Kelapa, Jayakarta, and Batavia, as well as its painful colonial past. The book also provides detailed information on three Jakarta tourist attractions: Kota Tua, the former center of Jakarta; Istiqlal, the largest Islamic mosque; and Taman Mini, Indonesia's largest cultural park. Finally, the book explains Jakarta's current affairs, explaining how, despite its booming trade-driven economic growth, the gap between the wealthy and the poor remains a serious problem. We've added a Jakarta amusement park to make it even more fun, complete with mazes and coloring pages.
