On November 2016, e Indonesian Bonsai So- ciety, Tangerang Chapter held a big exhibition for bonsai and suiseki. e exhibition was titled “Tangerang On Fire.” e venue was in a luxury shopping mall called “Living World, Alam Sutera.”
e bonsai and the bazaar were displayed on the second oor of an open air parking lot, whereas the suiseki was displayed in the ground oor of the mall. It was really a very good place for bonsai and suiseki exhibition.
Tangerang is a city neighboring Jakarta on the West side. If you y to Jakarta, the airport is located in Tangerang area. As a suburb of Jakarta, Tangerang is the fastest growing community compared to other areas of Indonesia. Many people working in Jakarta live in Tangerang. It is only 20 minutes from my house in Jakarta to go to the venue of the exhibition.
