We decided to go and visit the Ragunan Zoo here in Jakarta as we want to see a bit more of the sites around Jakarta. On our outing we where joined by Isha, our house keeper and driver Yamin as they were quite keen to come along.
What can I say the grounds themselves are large and very lush but the animal housing sure needs updating.
It was sad to see that this zoo today is quite out dated.
Concrete, tiled and bared housing are the norm here.
The zoo grounds them selves are great for walking in and even riding your bike here but for the animals that are housed here I feel sorry for them.
I am sure if the members from the political parties were put in these animal houses they would then spend the money on this zoo.
I didn't know what to expect on visiting this zoo but after hearing how much money is spent on the Indonesian schools hear from other countries what hope has this zoo got with getting an money for the bettering of the animals housing from the government.
