Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII) or "Beautiful Indonesia Miniature Park" (literally translated) is a culture-based recreational area located in East Jakarta, Indonesia. It has an area of about 250 acres (1.0 km2). The park is a synopsis of Indonesian culture, with virtually all aspects of daily life in Indonesia's 26 (in 1975) provinces encapsulated in separate pavilions with the collections of Indonesian architecture, clothing, dances and traditions are all depicted impeccably. Apart from that, there is a lake with a miniature of the archipelago in the middle of it, cable cars, museums, Keong Emas Imax cinema, a theater called the Theatre of My Homeland (Theater Tanah Airku) and other recreational facilities which make TMII one of the most popular tourist destinations in the city.

In a stroke of genius, I decided to volunteer to chaperone a
field trip to Taman Mini the day before the last day of school. I was coerced and guilted into it. But I also had never gone so I thought I
would be sane enough to handle being away all day the day before we got on the
plane. Yeah, right.
I’m glad I did it, though, it was a fun time.. and it was
nice to be with Jaffa and her class for the day.

It's an impressive place, and we had a great time. There's so much to see.. you could spend days and days exploring.
