Jakarta, Indonesia


From a past question:

"That is the location of The Monumen Nasional (or Tugu Monas, the National Monument tower) is a 450 ft (137 m) tall tower in Central Jakarta, symbolizing the fight for Indonesia's Independence. Its construction began in 1961 under Sukarno and was not finished until 1975 under Suharto. It is topped by a 14.5 tonnes flame-shaped bronze plated in 35 kg (1,125 troy ounces) of gold. Visitors can take a lift up to a platform with a good view of Medan Merdeka Park, Istiqlal Mosque and the city, if it is not too foggy. Inside the base of the monument is an exhibition on the country's Declaration of Independence and several dioramas showing the history of Indonesia."

Well, looking at GoogleEarth:

I find a street in Jakarta, Indonesia... It's almost exactly at a tree-covered intersection near what SEEMS to be a fair-sized school with an olympic-sized pool, tennis courts and a football field.

That point is exactly 0.65 miles due WEST of a very large statue - The Monumen Nasional (or Tugu Monas, the National Monument tower) is a 450 ft (137 m) tall tower in Central Jakarta, symbolizing the fight for Indonesia's Independence.

Wish I could be more specific.
