Sjennon sees the World #47 - Visiting the Taman Bunga Nusantara Gardens in Jawa, Indonesia

What I've learned about Indonesians? They love flowers.

After they have been asking me if I wanted to see the botanical gardens and politely refused, they decided to take me to a different type of garden instead. To me though, a garden is a garden, right?

Anyway! Off we went in the car with our driver. And when I mean we, I mean a shit ton of people - I mean family. I don't know how they did it, but we stacked in a car with 10 people and drove east.

After I had a nice, short nap, we arrived at the gardens.

And what is a garden without flowers and plants!

We walked a bit before we ran into a small lake which contained a creepy statue. I failed to learn about the purpose of it though..

I've learned that a lot of Indonesian art can be described as creepy or dark. There are a lot of big eyed statues or black colored temples.

By the way, I am not sure if I even want to know what this lil' fellow is holding.

The statues may be creepy, but the architecture is pretty amazing and detailed. There are a lot of gates, equally split in half and decorated by some hanging carpet or colored bricks.

^{(I hope I didn't just wreck their culture just now.. * ahum * soggy napkins, @varunpinto @firepower)}

Inside these gardens there was also a maze - fun! Or so I thought. Both me and my tall uncle-in-law(?) were towering above the maze walls.

I also found yellow bird.

And hearts and a dragon.

And an elephant and another bird.

After we round up our walk throught the gardens and grandma got tired, we decided to call it a day. Ofcourse, a day doesn't go without selfies!

And I discovered I look like a massive giant compared to my grandfather's sister.

Cheers ~
