Visiting Zoology Museum



 On July 12th, 2019, I went to the Zoology Museum with my best friend. We met at Bojong Gede Station and then continue our travel until we arrived at Bogor Station. From Bogor Station, we took an online car to drive us to the Zoology Museum. My reason why I went there was that for my subject assignment related to tourism.

We got off at the main door of Bogor Botanical Garden. Zoology Museum was in the area of Bogor Botanical Garden. I grew up in Bogor, more specifically in Cilebut but it was my first time visiting it. We bought two tickets if I'm not mistaken and then we took a walk to go to the Zoology Museum. My tips if you visited Bogor Botanical Garden without brought a vehicle like a car, please use sport shoes or any shoes that made your feet felt comfortable. At that time I wore my uncomfortable shoes and I'm afraid it would hurt my feet.


We walked for a minute and finally, we arrived at the Zoology Museum. When I have entered the museum it gave me that feeling when you want to go to the place that you dreaming of all this time. The situation in the museum was very quiet and not crowded. I saw several families who came and their parents explained the animals that were there to their children. I don't know why my feelings warmed when I saw it.



Then, we looked around and took some pictures for my assignment. Zoology museum has a lot of collection and I couldn't take every photo for their collection. I remembered I saw a huge rhinoceros, several types of birds that you can see when you first enter the museum, a collection of insects, mammals, and others. One Zoology museum's collection that was of particular interest was the enormous whale skeleton. The skeleton of this whale was at the end of our trip and it made me confused about how to get the photo from a good angle. I'm not good at taking pictures so I'm sorry.




After visited the Zoology museum, we walked again to Cactus Garden (I forgot the name but it was full of cactus). We took some photos again. Actually, we wanted to saw a Rafflesia but it was so far away from the Zoology Museum and the weather became hotter. So, we finished our trip and go back to our homes.

I choose gogonesia website for this task. You can visit the website at https://www.gogonesia.com/

Gogonesia offering you a lot of destination places to visit. Started from several Indonesia's favorites places for tourist such as Bali, Lombok, Yogyakarta, Flores, Central Java, Raja Ampat, and Wakatobi. This travel agency also offers some countries to be visited like Korea, Japan, Australia, etc. The plus point of this travel agency website are they have Depok on the list which is very rare I guess for some travel agency to put this city on their list. Maybe they know some interesting places in Depok and maybe it can increase their profits. Gogonesia provides two language to choose, Bahasa Indonesia and English. It's really important for the travel agency website because the purpose to make the website not just for the domestic tourist but also international tourist.
