n November 2016, The Indonesian Bonsai So-
ciety, Tangerang Chapter held a big exhibition
for bonsai and suiseki. The exhibition was titled
“Tangerang On Fire.” The venue was in a luxury
Oshopping mall called “Living World, Alam Sutera.”
The bonsai and the bazaar were displayed on the second floor
of an open air parking lot, whereas the suiseki was displayed in
the ground floor of the mall. It was really a very good place for
bonsai and suiseki exhibition. Malphigia glabra
Tangerang is a city neighboring Jakarta on the West side. If
you fly 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.
