◆ ◆ The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo
The National Museum of Modern Art (MOMAT) was the first national art museum in Japan. The museum owns a collection of contemporary artworks from the Meiji Era (1868 – 1912) all the way to the present. Japan was a closed country until the beginning of the Meiji era, but after Japan opened to the West, many young Japanese artists went abroad to study art in Europe. The Japanese painting style mixed with the influences of foreign art is very unique and interesting!
Don't miss the view from the 'Room with a view'. From here, you can see the moat and some parts of the East Gardens of the Imperial Palace.
Also, starting in spring 2019, MOMAT guide staff do guided tours through the collection of the museum in English!
◆ ◆ National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo – Crafts Gallery
The Crafts Gallery owns a huge collection consisting of numerous Japanese ceramics, glassware, lacquerware, dyed fabrics and graphic design lined up from the Meiji Era (1868-1912) to the present age. Pieces from the collection are shown in unique theme exhibitions. Also, the Crafts Gallery is designated as an important cultural asset.
※The crafts gallery will close and move to Ishikawa Prefecture from March 2020.
◆ ◆ Science Museum
The Science Museum is one big playground. The building has 5 fully packed floors where you can dive into science and learn something new. The exhibition is designed for all ages – there is something for everyone, from children to adults. It’s a great place to deepen your understanding of science while playing or watching some live experiments in the lab. Don't miss this wonderful museum!!
◆ ◆ National Archives of Japan
Opened in 1971, the National Archives of Japan is the place where Japanese historical materials and important official documents are preserved.

Four exciting museums surrounded by beautiful autumn leaves at Kitanomaru Park!
In Japan, fall is called art fall. This is due to the moderate climate (compared to the hot summer). Countless art festivals and painting exhibitions are concentrated in autumn - the perfect season to visit a museum.
There are four museums with completely different line-ups in the Kitanomaru Park with its splendid autumn leaves.
When visiting Tokyo from late November to early December, don't miss this area!

Tokyo Morning Run
นอกจากการเดินเที่ยวชมเมืองแบบชิลๆ อีกวิธีที่เราสามารถพาตัวเองไปลัดเลาะรู้จักที่เที่ยวใหม่ๆ ในต่างประเทศแบบได้สุขภาพแถมมาด้วย ก็คือการวิ่ง วิ่ง แล้วก็ วิ่ง!
เส้นทางรอบพระราชวังอิมพีเรียลใจกลางกรุงโตเกียว ถือเป็นเส้นทางวิ่งที่ชาวเมืองนิยมมาออกกำลังกายกันมากที่สุดเส้นหนึ่ง บนเส้นทางนี้ นอกจากผู้วิ่งจะได้ชมความงามและยิ่งใหญ่ของพระราชวังแล้ว ยังจะผ่านสถานที่สำคัญมากมาย เช่น สวนตะวันออกแห่งพระราชวังอิมพีเรียล, ศาลเจ้าโทโยคาวะ อินาริ, โรงละครแห่งชาติ, พระตำหนักอากาซากะ (State Guest House), อาคารรัฐสภาญี่ปุ่น (National Diet Building) พิพิธภัณฑ์แห่งชาติอย่าง National Museum of Modern Art และ National Museum of Modern Art Crafts Gallery รวมไปถึงสวนจิโดริกะฟุจิ จุดชมซากุระริมโค้งน้ำอันโด่งดังข้างพระราชวังนั่นเอง
เทรนด์นี้นอกจากจะเป็นการ keep fit ระหว่างเที่ยวแล้วยังสามารถเนียนถ่ายรูปอวดชุดกีฬาเท่ๆ ได้อีกด้วย ที่สำคัญบนเส้นทางนี้ยังมีห้องอาบน้ำสำหรับนักวิ่งให้บริการ เรียกได้ว่าวิ่งมาเสร็จพักอาบน้ำเปลี่ยนชุดแล้วเที่ยวต่อได้แบบสะดวกมากๆ แทนที่จะขึ้นรถไฟชะโงกเที่ยวเป็นหย่อมๆ เที่ยวโตเกียวคราวหน้าติดชุดกีฬามาด้วยแล้วออกไปวิ่งกัน!

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Jakarta (; Indonesian pronunciation: [dʒaˈkarta]), officially the Special Capital Region of Jakarta (Indonesian: Daerah Khusus Ibu Kota Jakarta), is the capital and largest city of Indonesia.
It is located on the northwest coast of the world's most populous island, Java. it is the centre of economics, culture and politics of Indonesia. It hosted a population of 10,075,310 as of 2014. The Greater Jakarta metropolitan area has an area of 6,392 square kilometers, which is known as Jabodetabek (an acronym of Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang and Bekasi). It is the world's second largest urban agglomeration (after Tokyo) with a population of 30,214,303 as of 2010. Jakarta is predicted to reach 35.6 million people by 2030 to become the world's biggest megacity. Jakarta's business opportunities, as well as its potential to offer a higher standard of living, attract migrants from across the Indonesian archipelago, combining many communities and cultures.Established in the 4th century as Sunda Kelapa, the city became an important trading port for the Sunda Kingdom. It was the de facto capital of the Dutch East Indies, when it was known as Batavia. Jakarta is officially a province with special capital region status, but is commonly referred to as a city. The Jakarta provincial government consists of five administrative cities and one administrative regency. Jakarta is nicknamed the Big Durian, the thorny strongly-odored fruit native to the region, as the city is seen as the Indonesian equivalent of New York (Big Apple).Jakarta is an alpha world city and is the seat of the ASEAN secretariat, making it an important city for international diplomacy. Important financial institutions such as Bank of Indonesia, Indonesia Stock Exchange, and corporate headquarters of numerous Indonesian companies and multinational corporations are located in the city. As of 2017, the city is home for six Forbes Global 2000, two Fortune 500 and four Unicorn companies . In 2017, the city's GRP PPP was estimated at US$483.4 billion. Jakarta has grown more rapidly than Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok and Beijing.Jakarta's major challenges include rapid urban growth, ecological breakdown, gridlock traffic and congestion, poverty and inequality and flooding. Jakarta is sinking up to 17 cm (6.7 inches) per year, which, coupled with the rising of sea level, has made the city more prone to flooding.
