Tourism  
To appreciate Jakarta, visitors need to seek out sights that invoke the city's historical heritage as a meeting place for East and West. These include the remnants of the Dutch colonial era and the old schooner harbor, still hard at work and looking much as it did in previous centuries. But don't be surprised if, along the way, modern Jakarta begins to grow on you: Its jarring mix of trendy nightspots, teeming streets and political protests bespeak a place where the present is unfolding in an exciting, if not always orderly, manner.
