Batam Island

Batam is one of the 3,000 islands, which make up the Riau Archipelago and is closest to Singapore, which is only 20 km away or twenty minutes by air-conditioned ferry. It has a rapid-growing population of around 100.000. As the island develops into a major industrial and tourist area, it attracts an ever-increasing population from other Indonesian islands who see Batam as a haven of opportunity. Once almost uninhabited, save for a few scattered fishing communities, Batam's history took a sharp turn beginning 1969, when it became support base for the State-owned 'Pertamina oil company' and its offshore oil exploration. In 1971 a presidential decree designated it as an industrial area and in 1975 the Batam Authority was formed. In 1978 Batam...

Pantai Lhoknga

Lhoknga, pantai yang dihiasi oleh pohon cemara yang sedang tumbuh semakin tinggi menantang mentari setelah semua diratakan oleh tsunami. Sebelum tsunami, pantai Lhoknga sangat indah, dinaungi oleh pohon cemara sehingga banyak tempat adem untuk menjauhi panas sambil menikmati pantai. Saat ini, Lhoknga masih panas sekali dengan gelombang air laut yang tinggi menghantam pantai. Tapi cemara liar (tidak ditanam, tumbuh sendiri) mulai tumbuh disepanjang area yang memisahkan pantai dan jalan raya.Sore hari menjelang matahari akan terbenam, banyak orang yang datang menikmati cahaya orange kemerahan yang seperti digoreskan diantara awan putih yang berlayar mengikuti arah angin. Suara gelombang yang memecah pantai meraung dan ingin menghempaskan buihnya...

Borobudur

Borobudur adalah nama sebuah candi Buddha yang terletak di Borobudur, Magelang, Jawa Tengah.

Candi ini didirikan oleh para penganut agama Buddha Mahayana sekitar tahun 800-an Masehi pada masa pemerintahan wangsa Syailendra.Banyak teori yang berusaha menjelaskan nama candi ini. Salah satunya menyatakan bahwa nama ini kemungkinan berasal dari kata Sambharabhudhara, yaitu artinya "gunung" (bhudara) di mana di lereng-lerengnya terletak teras-teras.

Garuda Wisnu Kencana

A while ago I wandered around the Garuda Wisnu Kencana complex and was strikingly impressed. As a cultural park it is no doubt a centrepiece of tourism in Bali and well worth putting on your itinerary for your next visit.The Garuda Wisnu Kencana complex, situated on a limestone hill in Jimbaran, is an integrated cultural centre with a 140 meter-high statue as its landmark. Almost a decade after construction started in 1996, only 15 percent of the park's master plan encompassing 200 hectares in total has been realized due to budget constraints. Garuda Wisnu Kencana is the brainchild of Nyoman Nuart, a Balinese contemporary sculptor, who raised the idea in 1992.When finished the park will have an entertainment hall, an exhibition centre, villas,...

Tanah Lot

From the village of Marga, the trip west returns to the main route leading to Tabanan. At the crossroads of Kediri, a side-road branches to the sea, ending on a green hill which slopes down to the beach and to the remarkable temple of Tanah Lot, suspended on a huge rock offshore. Set apart from the land by a stone basin, the rock has been carved by incoming tides. Tanah Lot, with its solitary black towers and tufts of foliage spilling over the cliffs, recalls the delicacy of a Chinese painting. If hearsay is to be believed, there dwells inside one of the shrines at Tanah Lot a huge snake, discreetly left undisturbed by the Balinese.Although a small sanctuary, Tanah Lot is linked to a series of sea temples on the south coast of Bali: Pura Sakenan,...
