The Smallest Primate

Cute Primates

What do you think about that primates? It’s so cute, isn’t it? That primate’s name is Mono Titi and they are among the smallest of all primates, weighing in at around one and half pounds, the Mono Titi is as endearing as any creature in nature. Known as the “peaceful primates”, their social structure is unique in the egalitarian nature of their interactions. Both male and female nurture their young and they enjoy equal status within their troops. They live, they play and they love with the youthful exuberance of a band of mischievous teenagers on a holiday bash.

Prior to the middle of the twenty-century, the Pacific Coast of Central America was a sparsely inhabited frontier of wild coastal jungle. The Mono Titi had a range that extended hundreds of miles along the Pacific Coasts of Panama and Costa Rica. During the 1950’s Costa Rica emerged from third-world impoverishment through a nation wide effort to develop large-scale agricultural capacity across the country. The Pacific Coast region experienced widespread deforestation with the introduction of banana and cattle. This trend has played itself out to a degree where the habitat of the Mono Titi has now become so fragmented that their long-term survivability is in jeopardy.

Today Mono Titi’s habitat has been reduced to two restricted areas. There is a population in and around the Manuel Antonio National Park and there is another population in Corcovado National Park to the south. The Manuel Antonio habitat is an area that is less than 3000 acres in total. It is estimated that only around 1,700 of the animals are left in existence.

Within mind human being able to reach every dream, broke any obstacle and create remarkable masterpiece.

And the important thing to think that the power of mind is small or big is depend on our self.

Anti Aging Water!

I just back from Lombok, an Island in east Indonesia, about two hours fly from Soekarno-Hatta airport, Jakarta. There have many interesting tourist destinations such as Senggigi beach, Gili Trawangan, and many others. One interesting place is Narmada, the Royal King Garden of Lombok with swimming pool in it and also there is a Hindus temple use by the Hindus religion when they have Balinese special ceremony or at New Year.
Lombok’s most famous temple-palace complex is Narmada Taman built in 1727 by the King of Mataram, Anak Gde Karangasem. The architecture is an interesting mix of Hindu, Islamic, and Sasak ethnic styles, but the temple is notable for its man-made lagoon, which symbolizes the lake of the holy mountain, Gunung Rinjani, in north of Lombok. Apart of the garden, there's a small temple for small offering and worship. Inside the temple it had a holy water link from Mount Rinjani. The Hindu believes that the holy water preserved anti-aging. Can be drink and facial wash but, not for bathe. The faithful explain that the replica’s purpose was to permit an aging king to fulfill his religious obligations of throwing offerings into the mountaintop lake when he became too old to make the climb. More likely, however, it was built so that the monarch could spy on the maidens washing in the pool and lures local women to bathe while he sat in his pavilion and watched.

Bandung

Guys, last weekend I went to bandung with my family and I remember that my friend Marie will go to this city next month so I’ll try to write some of the city perhaps its will help you.

Bandung known as City of Flowers and Paris of Java surrounded by a mountainous region full of cool breeze and natural splendors. Bandung is the provincial capital of West Java and third largest city of Indonesia. The outgoing nature and strong belief in their culture of local Sundanese people makes it quite a change from the other cities in the country. Bandung is known more as the place which hosted the first Afro-Asian Conference in 1955 then anything else and it is a pity. It has a pleasant climate and plenty of natural escapes that gives the tourists a break from the hectic schedule they might have anywhere else in the country.

There are not much seasonal variations in Bandung and the time of visit here is determined by the extent of rain. Day and night temperatures vary considerably. While the day temperature remains in the range of 26ºC to 33ºC, night temperatures can drop to a low of 10ºC. Two seasons are clearly defined, east monsoon from June to September that brings the dry climate while West Monsoon from December to March that brings heavy rain. High humidity is a year round phenomenon in Bandung. June to September being the dry season is certainly preferred over rainy season.

Some of places that I recommended to you to visit are:
1. Tangkuban Perahu (mean Capsized Boat) Situated at a distance of around 28 km north of Bandung, this is a 2000 meter wide volcano. The route to Tangkuban Perahu is a mesmerizing introduction to Bandung landscape. Crater can be approached by the bus only while you may have to walk on to reach the Geological Station on the upper rim of the crater. On an active crater you can also see the boiling water jetting out of the ground.
2. Drive along the Bandung - Lembang - Maribaya route for around 90 minutes passing through flowery mountainous landscape and you would find yourself in Maribaya. The place is famous for its beautiful agro landscape, hot water springs, and waterfall.
3. Ciater hot spring the hot spring located at the base of Mount Tangkuban Perahu is a favorite picnic spot for the residents of Bandung. The site is situated at a distance of just 32 km north of Bandung and easily accessible by road.

4. Kawah putih (white crater) are situated at Ciwidey, some 40 km south of Bandung. The craters have been now filled with sulphuric water giving them different hue and colors. Sometime it looks that the craters have been covered by the ice sometime they change color from blue to green.
5. Bumi Siliwangi building, this was constructed in 1825 by a Eurasian millionaire of Italian origin, D. W Berrety. This building is a perfect point from where you can see the beauty of Bandung. It is now being used as Bandung Institute of Teachers Training Education.
6. Gedung Papak Built in the year 1920, this building was used as the City Hall in its initial years and later as the office of Bandung Municipality. The structure has been artistically restored recently and now becoming a good tourist attraction.
7. Gedung Sate. This historical building was designed by

architect J. Gerber and the first building that constructed by reinforced concrete technology in Indonesia.

The shopping in Bandung is an enduring experience full of fun. As the city is capital to Western Java, you can look for traditional as well as imported goods in the market. Pasar Kota Kembang is the best place to shop for cheap clothes and leather products. Kampung Ciguriang is the first market in the city while Pasar Baru, Jl. Pasar Utara, Jalan Pasar Selatan, Pasar Jatayu are some of the good places to look for local products. While if you’re looking for food whether it is traditional Bandung cuisine or international one, you would not find any scarcity in any corner of the city. Jalan Diponegoro, Jalan Merdeka, and Alun - alun are some of the best places to hunt for inexpensive local varieties. Food is tasty everywhere and should give you some new experiences in dining. Taxis and minibuses provide most extensive service; both of these can be hired through the hotel where you are staying. City centre can be explored on the foot.

Those in search of batik, clothing or material should not miss Gianyar which has at least 40 textile factories.

Bali (Part-3)

Continue to my post before; let me talk to you about Bali cuisine.
Like the food of other regions in Indonesia, Balinese food is rice as the central dish served will small portions of spicy, pungent vegetables, fish or meat and served almost always with sambal or chile paste. Bali is a few of the regions in Indonesia whose majority of its people are non Muslims, thus babi guling or roasted suckling pig is a specialty, as is bebek betutu, smoked stuffed duck wrapped in bamboo leaves.

Bali (part-2)

Bali known as island temples, there is estimated to have around 20,000 temples. Some of the most important are Besakih, the Mother Temple of Bali on the slopes of the sacred Mount Agung: Tanah Lot, Bali’s famous sea temple; Ulu Danu Which rises out of Lake Bratan and Kerta Gosa at Klungkung. During the kingdoms glory, the latter served as a hall of justice. Ceilings painted in the Balinese wayang style depict scenes of reward and punishment. For a glimpse of how the island was before being inundated by tourists and modernity, visit two notable traditional villages of the Bali Aga, the islands original inhabitants, Trunyan and Tenganan.
Bali with its stunning scenery and culture is increasingly poplar as an exotic wedding location. Attractive wedding packages offer prospective and bride grooms traditional rituals and costumes.

Bali (part-1)

Actually I want to go to Bali with my family in this end year vacation but unfortunately all planes there was fully booked. Bali is the most popular tourist destination in Indonesia. It is a land of soaring majestic volcanoes, of emerald rice fields clinging on hillsides and sculpted in tiers, of idyllic beaches and modern resorts. Despite overwhelming foreign influences, the Balinese have managed to reach a harmonious balance between preserving their culture, their natural environment and accommodating today’s changing world. The Hindu Bali religion pervades all aspects of Balinese society and shrines and temples dominate the landscape. Ceremonies, festivals, age-old dances and the arts are also an inseparable part of their life and culture.

Visit Indonesia!

This writing is about a Province in Indonesia, names: Jawa Barat or in English mean West Java. This propince has the easiest accessibility from Jakarta as the capital city is an enclave in this province. Stretching from Bogor and Bekasi to the border of Central Java, a mountain range passes through the centre from east to west and peaks into smoldering volcanoes.

Jawa Barat has its own culture and language, apart from the rest of the Island and the people and language are called Sunda. History gives Jawa Barat a prominent place, together with the famous kings of Tarumanegara, Pajajaran and Cirebon and remnants of these kingdoms make interesting study for the student of archeology.

The people of Jawa Barat differ greatly from those who live on the coastal areas and those of the highlands. Cirebon however-located on the border of West and Central Java-has a mixed culture and because of the close relations between the Cirebon and Banten kingdoms, there is much similarity in customs and dialects of the two people.

The capital of Jawa Barat, Bandung is situated on a plateau south of Jakarta; about 200 km by toll road passes through a beautiful panorama of mountains, paddy fields and small holiday resorts.

Bandung gained fame in 1955 as it was the venue for the first Asian-African conference which brought together leaders of 29 Asian and African nations with the aim to promote economic and cultural relations and to take a common stand against colonialism.

It has developed into one of Sydney’s largest dining, shopping and entertainment areas with exhibition and convention centers attracting large crowds.
