Bogor, Indonesia
Bogor is a city in West Java, Indonesia with a total population of approximately 3 million. It was the capital of Indonesia during the British occupation under Stamford Raffles and was used as the capital by the Dutch during the dry season, then known as Buitenzorg (meaning “beyond worry”).
Bogor boasts a presidential palace, a deer park and a botanical garden in the town centre. It is home to the Institut Pertanian Bogor (or Bogor Institute of Agriculture) and CIFOR, the Center for International Forestry Research. To the south of the city are large tea plantations. During colonial times the Bogor area developed as a centre for tea plantations.
