Dago car free day

For so long time, I have just realized that English language is so important.

This morning I have had accompanied friend of mine in my Collage, Bandung State Polytechnic, Adrian Chandra Faradhipta. He is a member of AIESEC, voluntary international organization that have aims to develop the education sector in the developing countries. Our destination was Dago Car Free Day, but before we went to Dago, we had to pick up one of the other AIESEC member from Margahayu. She is a women, her name is Sophia. She is a new volunteer from China and the newly arrived in Bandung three days ago.

I do not know, even my subject is English language I have not talked to foreigner before.  This morning is the first time I talked to foreigner with my English and for so long.

We arrived in Dago at 8.30 am. We had two agendas in there. First, accompanied the new volunteer to look  around Bandung especially Dago. Then the second one is met debaters from another collage. We had a meeting with others debaters in order to improve our skill in debate. This is because in a March, there is a competition of National Polytechnic Debating Contest.

I met a lot of friends this day.

I have got many advantages things from Adrian, Sophia and others.

Friends…Its not “Good Bye” or “See You Letter” or “See You Some Days” but I hope I can “See You Very SOON”

Tofu Stations a.k.a POM Tahu in Lembang

In August 2010 I visited the POM Tahu at Lembang. This is a tourist attraction and tofu manufacturer. In this place there are many children's games like paint balls, small water-soaked, swing, and the rabbit park.

One of the places that I think is interesting is the rabbit park because there we can freely play with the rabbit common species.

Except that at POM Tahu Lembang provide a food court which is selling food with tofu as menu-based or using a mix out.

This place is usually crowded on weekends, the people who come to this place not only from Bandung but from the big cities in Indonesia. After satisfied to play and eat, before heading home we can shop at the factory outlet which available there.

Bali

In 2009 I went to Bali. in Bali, I stayed at the hotel near Kuta. I visited several places in Bali such as Kuta, Kintamani , Tanjung Benoa, turtle island, watching barong performances, GWK, Tanah lot, and Jimbaran.

In kuta I play on the beach while enjoying the sunset. In Kintamani I took my breakfast, the atmosphere in Kintamani is very beautiful especially from my table I could see the expanse of mountains and sea. In Tanjung Benoa I play the water game like jetski and banana boat, from Tanjung Benoa I crossed to the turtle island by boat. In turtle island I could see turtle eggs and the oldest turtle. Beside the turtles I could see many kinds of animal like ma big snake, iguana, bats and hawks. I also do not forget to go to see barong show after that I went to GWK to see the works of Nyoman Nuarta.  I went to the jimbaran to enjoy dinner on the beach while the dinner there is a group of people would sing to entertain the guests who were eating. and on my last day in Bali I went to visit the land lots, there are caves where there are snakes “Kramat” cave guarded by several people. Besides, there are freshwater springs in the central coast.

The Exotic of Sorong, West Papua

Sorong West Papua

Last year, precisely in September I visited Sorong West Papua. The first day I visited a beach called “Tembok beach” to enjoy the sunset. This beach is called “Tembok beach” because next to the beach there is a wall that is often used by people to relax. After that I go to dinner at a seafood shop located in offshore.

The second day I went to shopping fresh fish to the fish market. Fish market is open every afternoon when the fishermen had returned from the sea. Fish that are sold are very diverse, ranging from small fish until the fish is the size of a baby human child. After returning from the fish market I took the time to buy Papua’s souvenirs like koteka, bag-shaped nets and hats from cendrawasih feathers. Don't forget I also take time to photography with Papua’s custom.

On the last day I went to “Tanjung beach”, a place far enough from the city but, this is a very beautiful coastal scenery. “Tanjung baech” has a blue sea, white sand and there are large rocks on the beach.

West Papua is a very beautiful place, you should visit there because this city is still very clean and fresh because there is no building lots, and the tourist attractions offered very beautiful place. I do not want to go home it's time to be there
