SMPN 1 Jakarta = School as Cultural Heritage still used

Today I go to Centre of Jakarta, Cikini Street, to deliver some letters and questionerres from Social Studies Department of Faculty of Education from my university. We will conduct a research about social studies for standardized school at Jakarta. My responsibility is to come to SMPN 1 Jakarta and SMPN 216 at Salemba Street.

I do not really know about the location. I have no Google Earth software installed in my PC. I am googling it by SMP N 1 Jakarta as a clue. Well finally I find it. Then I look for transportation route to this school. transportasi.org give me the way to go there. A blog showed me a document of all public transportation routes which saved at Ziddu website. There is no direct transportation from my place. So, I get a "microlet" numbered by 06 to go straight to Kampung Melayu terminal, I pay 4.000 rupiahs for it from Pasar Rebo crossroad. Then I choose a minibus called as"kopaja" by 502 number with Kampung Melayu to Tanah Abang route. Even tough I live in Jakarta for several years, I still not really understand this part of the city. So in travel, I always look for clues like street landmark, building names, etcetra.

At last I find it, after helped by Ojek (a rented motorcycle) near it. I see the building is so antique, like a gothic building at europe.
