(Angels) In Taman Prasasti

When I park my motorcycle, I ask the parking guy, "Is it open?"
"Yes, it's open." He answered.
"Opened at 10AM ?" I asked more.
"No, at 9AM." He said.
"But why so quiet here?" I asked again. I doesn't need his answer, since I know the answer myself. Taman Prasasti Museum or Museum of Memorial Stone Park is a museum located in Tanah Abang I, Jakarta. The museum was formerly a cemetery, built by the Dutch colonial government in 1795 as a final resting place for noble Dutchmen.
I paid an entrance fee of two thousands rupiah (US$ 0.2) to enter this museum. Here, you can find angels everywhere.

I saw a couple enter the museum (you can say: cemetery), and within 5 minutes, they leave. Well, this place is not "romantic place" to "spend time together".

Until now I realized that I already spent 1 hour+ in this cemetery museum. Time to go...
But I found this cute cat, who completely ignoring me take her picture (well, she's aware, but just continue sleep)

Sweat dream, little one.

The museum open Tuesday to Sunday from 09AM to 3PM, Close on Monday and public holiday
Not many visitors, I wonder how the parking guy "survived"
