Traditional Tourism, Pedicab Up Streets

Posted by EMPIRE on Saturday, November 19, 2011




Ride becakJalan-rickshaw ride can be a cheap and fun tour. Daw is a traditional means of transportation, its presence in the metropolitan city is prohibited. Luckily there are still many rickshaws here, not very dense traffic and not much air pollution.

Day of week ago I took my two children Ocha (6 th) and Lulu (1 yr) a trip to the mall. Not like that time we went for a walk ride tricycles. Incidentally my father was no training in Bogor, so there is a nganter ga. We left around 10 am, is not difficult to find a rickshaw around the house. Sometimes there are still some who passes in front of the house, but when there is no way we are about 50 feet onto the ramp protocol and there already exists a few rickshaws waiting passengers.

Rickshaw ride was a first experience for my daughter Lulu, looks once she's so happy. He tried to say something to express his excitement as he occasionally raised his hand. Ocha although this was not the first, but he also really enjoy rickshaw ride.

Arriving at the mall we just walk alone, then stopped at one of the franchise for lunch. After lunch we returned to the house, ride tricycles again. But mid-way sudden drizzle. Pedicab driver plastic wrap so that we did not rain. But there is one very funny. Lulu turned out like if pedicab ga closed, because during the trip he was enjoying suanana road. And when the auto-rickshaw plastic covered him we could not see anything. She yelled as she tried to open the plastic cover.

Finally arrived at the house. Apparently refreshing not have to pay expensive or go to places of recreation. Enjoying the atmosphere of the city with a rickshaw ride can be a fun alternative for children. And tricycles on the one hand was able to disrupt the smooth running of traffic, but on the other hand pedicabs are environmentally friendly and reduce the burden on urban pollution. Imagine if on the day of the week like that one move without motor vehicles, can walk, bike, or rickshaw. Well surely will greatly help reduce Global Warming ... ...

One friend asked vacation with his family to his hometown in Tasikmalaya. Agenda tours offered, among others, play mud in rice fields and fishing villages Cibangkong, Panjalu, Galunggung, and Kampung Naga. Puzzled to find a vacation spot for kids, we finally welcomed the offer. Date 4 to 8 July 2008, my family vacation to a place very different from our previous holidays. Usually we are on vacation in Central Java and East Java, West Java now.



Our vacation destination this time is to provide a different holiday atmosphere for young rural anak.Suasana simple while providing learning about nature.

Three family departs from Jakarta at 6:30 am with the group leader to Tasikmalaya Nugraha Pepih family (caregiver Kompas.com). Distance from Jakarta to Tasikmalaya + / - 360 km can be reached within 4-5 hours without a break.

When in town Tasikmalaya, do not miss to enjoy noodles Laksana, although the price of a bowl of noodles is quite expensive for the size of the Tasikmalaya (Rp 25,000 .-), but it feels nyosssss mak ....... Champion!

Day 2 we travel to an area of ​​rice fields and fishing families in the village Cibangkong Nugraha. Children play freely in the fields of new mud unloaded, soak in natural hot springs in the area of ​​rice fields, fishing and enjoying lunch with rustic breeze very cool. The children got to experience the first time close to nature and the countryside feel it directly.

Tourist destination day 3 to Panjalu and Mount Galunggung. Panjalu is the purpose of travel to 3 to Panjalu and Mount Galunggung. Panjalu is a tourist area in the middle of the lake. To go to the mainland we had to rent a boat for Rp 80,000 .- (round trip). Children can help paddle boat headed Panjalu. When he arrived in our land uphill and into the woods while enjoying views of the bat / bats flying around in the morning / afternoon. Besides enjoying the cool air and walk through the forest, on the mainland is also there is the tomb of a king Panjalu in the past. Local myth says: "if you come to Panjalu while courting, then your relationship will not last."

After the Panjalu we headed to the tourist area Galunggung, on the way, we break for lunch in a restaurant Mergosari, Rajapolah. We chose a place with views of rice fields saung through which the railway line and ordering seafood, vegetables, crackers and chicken grilled onions and juice drinks for 11 people (6 adults and 5 children). The food is very tasty and the price is quite cheap, USD 182,000 .- for all foods and drinks that we ordered. In this Rajapolah are we spoiled with typical craft

We continue the journey to Mount Galunggung that erupted with a vengeance in 1982. To go to the top of the mountain we must climb 620 stairs, fatigue that is felt all the way to the top of the mountain scenery off with a very beautiful when we arrived at the summit.

To reach the crater Galunggung and camping areas should be down the stairs (God knows how many), and down below there is also a mosque. Meanwhile, to keep warm while on the mountain top, we can enjoy milk, coffee, hot tea and instant noodles that are sold by local residents.

This village does not allow its citizens to use electricity, let alone take advantage of entering the forbidden forest wood as fuel. Except for mobile phones and television as a communication tool and that too must use the battery. If the discharged battery, must be completed outside the village. Similarly, the school, the children every day have to go up the stairs to the outside of the village to school.

To go to the teletak Naga village in the basin / valley, we had to descend + / -320 steps. All the way down we enjoy the view plots of terraced rice fields and trees with a cool breeze. When he arrived in the township are well organized, we like being in a cluster of real estate in Jakarta, because all the houses were uniform, with white chalk (not allowed to use paint) and built with the same model. Home building materials Naga villagers all come from nature that is stone, wood and fibers except glass window roof. Because of all the building materials taken from nature and citizens must remain to preserve and maintain the ecosystem in their environment, then the number of homes is limited to 112 units only, not be added. If there are new residents required to set up a foster home outside his home in the township.



According to our tour guide, mang dumpling (local residents), although no official publication of the Naga villages, such as booklets or brochures promotion (because it should not be commercialized), the village is visited by many local and foreign tourists. Based on the guestbook, foreign tourists who visited this village comes from Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Japan, France, United Kingdom, America, Germany, Netherlands etc. as well as foreign and local school students. In addition to learning about the simplicity of this village, the children also can play shallow water in the river with crystal clear water that can not be found in Jakarta.

After playing in his hometown Naga satisfied we headed Dariza Lake Resort as an end in our trip. This resort is perfect for a family place to stay, because the concept of houses on stilts surrounded by artificial lakes. So that the children are satisfied playing water bikes and paddle boats.

Posted by EMPIRE on Thursday, November 17, 2011





For those of you who like nature tourism or adventure, travel to rural areas could be an interesting option to consider. What I mean "Rural Tourism" here, not just trips to suatau place with a rural atmosphere, but it's really been to a village, mingle and mix with the villagers.

Stay at home farmer, talked, ate and drank with the farmers. So really rural tourism, not just the atmosphere is made similar to the countryside. And if you want, for more mengkhayati breath of life of farmers in the countryside, you can go to the fields or down the field working with farmers. Go early morning when the sun had not risen, walk away from the house into the fields, working in the fields or rice fields during the heat of the sun sting and go home the afternoon before sunset. All that would be an amazing experience and very impressive when you return home to the city.

For those of you who live in the concrete jungle of urban hurly-burly, noisy, crowded and stuffy by air pollution, rural atmosphere is quiet, calm and free from pollution, will make the body, soul and your mind was clear and fresh. Try to listen to this: the sound of chirping birds farrago, the rush of fast-flowing water ditches at the edge of fields, gentle breeze that blows, duck sounds back and forth in the rice field, overlaid singing frogs shouted to each other, is truly a beautiful natural rhythm of the music unparalleled.

Sit in a bamboo hut-poster rice fields and thatched roofs. Look around: the green expanse of paddy sway like a rug on the inflatable wind undulating rice fields, rice leaves exposed to the sun shining. Sparrows fly flew into the trees at the edge of rice fields as scarecrows that decorated plastic and cans swayed when the rope is pulled from the edge of fields. Butterfly colorful flying merrily across the rice fields, occasionally alighting on the wildflowers that bloom in the dike edge of the fields.

White egret birds darted from the trees seemed to fly, swoop down to grab an unsuspecting fish in the paddy field ditch. Look carefully, listen, feel and enjoy the natural atmosphere of the countryside with all the modesty and authenticity. You will truly feel one with the atmosphere of stunning natural beauty.

Wait what? visit to the countryside, come down to the rice fields, nikamatilah rural atmosphere and natural environment which is natural, beautiful and lovely clean refreshing body and soul. The next article (to-II) will discuss about the fun of "Down the Field" wrestle with the mud fields. Wikimu friends, see you at the hut fields.

Tour of Mount Salak Protection Forest, Indonesia

Posted by EMPIRE on Thursday, November 17, 2011






Travel to the open nature is always full of surprises. There's just experiences to be learned. No matter how bitter or sweet, it will imprint on the chest. Especially when enjoyed with family. A very dear sweet memory thrown away.
Try and look at the Howard family Utomo. This harmonious family seemed to enjoy any "surprises" in the Forest Preserve Birdwatching at Mount Salak. Families and young tourism event is an outing agenda Bird Friends of Indonesia (SBI). A group of bird watchers in the shade of BirdLife Indonesia.


In the event that Howard did not think the family could come to be witnesses. Through the help of binoculars, their eyes fell on a rare sight. Meet Javan hawk-eagle (Spizaetus bartelsi) in the open.

"Yes definitely proud of dong. We as a family can be involved directly see Javan hawk-eagle. Moreover, it reportedly includes bird species are endangered, "said Howard Utomo, the head of the family. Indeed this is the first time with the Howard family contiguity Javan hawk-eagle in its original nature. Typically, they see these birds of prey through reading materials and television.

Burst of excitement met Javan hawk-eagle is not so family-owned Howard alone but spread to all participants of this unique tour. They shout for joy got a rare treat it. "A surprise to be thankful for," they said. As a result the spirit increasingly encouraged to observe other wildlife species.

It all happened thanks to the foresight of some of the participants. When resting in the parking lot owned geothermal projects of Unocal Geothermal Indonesia, Ltd. (Ugi) their eyes caught two black shadows. Floating in space utilizing hot air. After investigation, it turns out it is really two birds Javan hawk-eagle.
In addition to observing Javan hawk-eagle, binoculars they caught the figure of CICA-scab Java (Megalurus palustris), laying stone Swallow (Hirundo tahitica) and eagle-snake Bido (Spilornis cheela). The birds fly across wiri wira-green carpet of tea plantations in the border gate this Ugi.

Stay Alert
Tour this time not only bear fruit sweet memories, but it is unique. Why not, we must remain vigilant against the threat of H2S gas attack while peeking at Awibengkok these animals. The gas smell was very stimulating the kind of dangerous. When inhaled, it can be fatal in an instant. Naturally, this geothermal project can not be removed from this gas.

"When the yield is below 10 ppm (parts per million), gas is still smelled like rotten eggs smell. But above that figure, he no longer smelled. Because I had managed to damage the nervous system of smell, "said Dede Rhamdani, Superviser Support Facility, while welcoming the arrival of Ugi entourage.
But Dede ensure the safety of each participant. Because they will always be accompanied by field staff Ugi. And is also equipped with a sophisticated gas detector. These detectors will sound automatically when the content of H2S in the ambient air exceeded 10 ppm.

But he obviously dangerous, but the region is very interesting Awibengkok explored. Biodiversity is quite high. Also rich in wildlife listed as citizens of the "original" protected forest. According to BirdLife Indonesia, Awibengkok inhabited by about 127 species of birds. Seven of them endemic, range of Javan hawk-eagle earlier.

Types of Animals
When the observations made in several areas, successfully encountered Srigunting gray (Dicrurus leucophaeus), opior Java (Lophozosterops javanicus), junk mountain (Pericrocotus miniatus), stone kite, swallow palm (Cypsiurus balasiensis), bird chili Java (Dicaeum trochileum), mountain bird chili (Dicaeum sanguinolentum), cucak swamp (Pynonotus zeylanicus), poksai horse (Garrulax rufifrons), Wren munguk {Sitta Azurea), quail barking Java (Arborophila javanica), mountain finches (Pynonotus bimaculatus) and many more.

The location is most convenient to make observations about the area is well Awibengkok 12. Here, there is an open gap that is comfortable to enjoy the landscape in the field of forest canopy. Sometimes several types can also be seen. So also in Awibengkok 13. The location of the well is higher than the asphalt road. Pak Awang, who accompany field staff had said, "If the weather is good again, we can see the Harbour Queen. Even get to see the coastline. "

Tomie Dono of BirdLife Indonesia recalled, he saw the king prawns around Awibengkok 5 some time ago. Around the area, said Tomie, there is a river frequented king prawns. Usually this bird was seen foraging. To reach the river, we had to walk slightly upward. Simply steep cliffs that must be overcome. "This area is rarely passed people. Besides the well was no longer in operation, here is quite spooky location, "said Pak Awang who has worked nineteen years on this project. There are statues (sculpture) sacred by the locals. Problem truth, try it for yourself.

Leopard
Awibengkok region still had quite a lot of leopard (Phantera pardus). Exact population is difficult to obtain. There has been no research for it. But according to the story Pak Awang, Ugi workers often meet this tiger. There are passing in the night, the streets around the area well. Even one of his staff had time to capture the leopard that was lying on top of the steam pipe.

Take a walk in the area of ​​operation of the project office is also delicious. Near the dining room (dining room) you can peek behavior Javan (Presbitys Comata). In the morning, Javan hanging tree branches while snacking young shoots of ferns or other young leaves. "That's why this is called Javan Grizzled leaf monkey. Out to eat more fruit than the young leaves, seeds or flowers, "said Yok Yok Hadiprakarsa from Indonesia Club Green on the sidelines of the observations.

Javan live in primary and secondary forests are scattered in West Java. Especially in some national parks, nature reserves and protected forests. Javan adult body from head to punggungg black colored gray. Tail length of about 56-72 cm.

Other primates can be seen is Java langurs (Trachypithecus auratus), and Java gibbon (Hylobates moloch). Java gibbons including endemic primates of Java. "Gibbons can also take a look at Mount Gede, Ujung Kulon, Hazy, Leuweung Sancang and Mount Simpang," said Yok Yok. To distinguish from the Javan gibbon, he said, how easy. Look carefully, gibbons have no tail. And the whole face black.

By nightfall, some participants try his luck. They are eager to peek behind the leopard behavior dimness of the night. That night the weather was supportive. There was no sign of rain. Meet the star-studded sky. Based on information, they walked to the well Awibengkok 8. In the vicinity of these wells leopard make a nest.

In between trips, raccoons are often seen passing in the street. Run around while looking for food. There is also a bobcat. But it would be lucky if you can see the leopard family. Ugi security patrol team a few times ran into this family. To peek at these big mammals are needed patience. Plus a helping hand of the goddess Fortuna. So many are praying. Of course if successful, sweet memories of Awibengkok more felt complete. Good luck.

Experience
As soon as you step foot on the island of Koh Samui, the essence of tropical paradise will defeat you.

In the midst of a coconut tree canopy adventurers can find some of the most beautiful waterfalls, creme de la creme of Namuang Falls.

Ring road does not get you around the island, but just take a turn and you will no doubt be facing accident. All this aside, the trip is worth, remember that slow and steady wins the race.


Namuang Falls actually has two levels down. Namuang I easily reached from the parking lot from the main road, and cascades showing of about 30m high falls in the pool is deep. Namuang II exhibit fell from 80 million with several small ponds, and make sure that you work up a sweat before you plunge, with increases ranging from about 30 min to 60 min until the steep, rough stone plateau depends on how high you want to go. Namuang I am very popular with most tourist attractions and family because it is easily passable, but if you're up for a bit of a challenge Namuang fatigue II will redeem you with a beautiful fall and some solitary time away from the companion is more busy.

BANDAR LAMPUNG - For citizens who want to ride an elephant, no longer need to travel far 80 km from Bandar Lampung to the Elephant Training Center (PLG) Way Kambas National Park, East Lampung. Because, since late last year on the edge of Belfast City has initiated a tourist park that is named Park Kedaton Earth.

More like a garden tour for presenting a number of zoo animals ranging from Sumatran elephants (Elephas maxsimus sumatrensis) are imported from Way Kambas National Park (TNWK), gibbon (Symphalangus syndactylus), monkey (Macaca nemestrina), long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) , jungle fowl (Gallus Gallus), eagle (Folconidae), monitor lizard (Varanus salvator), and various types of chicken from China, Arabia, and Australia.
The presence of this attraction became one of their own entertainment, not only for the citizens of Belfast, as well as residents from outside the city which heretofore has had to TNWK to see the elephant. After all the holidays here are also shown as in TNWK elephant.
Visitors are generally curious about the presence of a tourist attraction that initially had received a strong reaction from a number of environmental NGOs is because exploiting endangered animals, like elephants. Curiosity is evident with membludaknya visitors on any holiday. Besides curiosity, visitors seemed to provide a new entertainment for their children. Understandably during this holiday filled with citizens of Belfast and surrounding areas with trips to the beach.
Earth Garden Kedaton duty officer acknowledges that. According to him, most of the visitors-nearly 90 percent-are families that bring their children. And, the most favored families during a visit to the place it is to ride an elephant around. "The audience was mostly children who accompanied their parents," he said, recently.
Kedaton Earth Garden was opened late October 2004, having previously kontrakeinginan pros and provincial governments to open up more like a tourist park that the zoo was opposed environmental NGOs.

Its location is located seven kilometers from the center of the village of Bandar Lampung-Sukarame II, Batuputu, District of West Telukbetung.
To facilitate the citizens to visit this attraction, since from the city of Bandar Lampung is there are a number of directional signs. Starting from entering Prince Street Emir M. Noor, not far from the office taps Rilau Way, park information boards are plastered on the side of the road.

As for visitors who are interested in "driving" the elephant, the tariff is Rp 10 thousand / passenger each way around the park.
Friska, a visitor who tried to ride an elephant was deeply impressed because so far he only saw the rare animals long trunked it in the newspapers or television. But he complained that overpriced fare ride an elephant for the kids. "Moreover, if we go up three of the tariff Rp30 thousand. It's very expensive, "said junior high students in Bandar Lampung.

Lack of Facilities
Perhaps because it is still relatively new, there are still many shortcomings here and there. But most visitors, who do not want to know about the lack of it, complained that the park is still incomplete or referred to the zoo, because the types of animals that exist in this park is still small.
Wati, a visitor suggested that the collection of animals in the park was added making it more attractive for children. In addition, in order in the animal cages Indonesia and Latin names are written so that the park is a place of study for children, including in the trees which adorn many of these parks.
Because the trees are protected atmosphere of the park so cool and make pengunjuing linger at home and comfortable thanks to the increased stream flow in the side of the existing park deliberately stratified.
Other deficiencies, the road to this park many are hollow and there is no public transportation routes so that for residents who do not have a vehicle will have trouble to come. Indeed, there were pengojek that offer services to take visitors to the park, but that is pretty expensive tariff Rp25 thousand to a distance of seven miles of this. After all if it is kesorean, roads leading to the park is also rather quiet, so prone to crime.
The initiator of the garden tour, the Governor of Lampung Sjachrudin ZP explains, Earth Kedaton Park was built with the aim to provide alternative entertainment for residents. With the construction of the natural park, Lampung people can choose other types of entertainment in the city of Bandar Lampung.

Ondel Ondel Jakarta

Posted by EMPIRE on Monday, November 07, 2011



Ondel Ondel






Ondel-ondel is a form of folk performances Batavia (Jakarta) are often displayed in the party of the people, seem to portray ondel-ondel ancestor or ancestors that preserves their grandchildren or a resident of a village.

Originally ondel-ondel function as repellent reinforcements or disorder that haunts Subtle Spirit, which is always a village or an individual.

Today ondel-ondel is usually used to add vibrant folk festivals or to welcome an honored guest and or able to bridal procession circumcision as well as in special occasions such as anniversary of Jakarta. Betapun swift currents of modernization ondel-ondel fact still survive and become trimmer face of the city of Jakarta.

However, unfortunately, the Betawi people who rarely use the ondel-ondel for events or party activities in the township / neighborhood in Jakarta. Ondel-ondel so rarely seen on the show Betawi (Jakarta) itself.

Ondel-ondel the form of a large doll that is about less than 2.5 meters with a diameter of approximately 80 inches, made of woven bamboo, which is prepared in such a way. So easily borne from it. Form part of the face mask or a mask, with hair made of palm fiber head, the face-ondel ondel men painted in red, while for women in the paint with white. This form shows many similarities to those found in several other areas, ondel-ondel was formerly named Barongan, now many people call it Betawi ondel-ondel for not knowing its origin.

Betawi people are now so far forget her own culture, so it was very rare and teruatama successor generations and many children do not know what it Betawi ondel-ondel show itself.

Ancient times when the child (boy) Betawi want on Circumcision, always in the procession procession around the village wearing Barongan (ondel-ondel), then the bride circumcision in riding on a horse around the village.

Now this shows ondel-ondel itself is rarely encountered and the Betawi children no longer wanted by such traditions. So that the Betawi culture is only performed once in a year, rose in celebration of Jakarta Anniversary.

Hopefully this one Betawi culture is not extinct or lost by the Betawi children themselves and the development progress of this era.
