<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">Borobudur is one of the most famous Buddhist ruins in the world and Indonesia’s single most visited tourist attraction. This ancient Buddhist monument is located on an elevated plain, called Kedu Plain, between the Progo river, the twin volcanoes of Sundoro-Sumbing and the twin volcanoes of Merbabu-Merapi, of which Merapi is one of the most active volcanoes in Indonesia. The site is in central Java, about 40km (25 miles) northwest of the city of Yogyakarta in Indonesia.</span><br />

Although there is no documented proof, according to a folk tale, there once was a paved brick road that ran from Borobudur to Mendut, with walls on both sides.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">Borobudur was inscribed as a World Heritage Site during the 15th session of the World Heritage Committee which met in Carthage, Tunisia, on 9-13 December, 1991. Borobudur is built to encase a hillock that is 265m above sea level. According to archaeologists, it is also 15m above the floor of a dried out ancient lake. Borobudur is believed to have been built on the lake shore, or may have even been an island on the lake.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">W.O.J. Nieuwenkamp, a Dutch artist and scholar of Hindu and Buddhist architecture, theorised in 1931 that Kedu Plain was once a lake, and Borobudur represented a lotus flower that floated on the lake. His theory found support among geologists who discovered clay sediments near Borobudur.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Construction of Borobudur</strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There is no written record to show who constructed Borobudur or why, but based on its carved reliefs, scholars believe that Borobudur was constructed around 800 AD.

It is not known when the massive ruins was abandoned, and why. Among the theories put forward includes a massive volcanic eruption in AD 1006, that resulted in the inhabitants of Kedu Plains moving east to Brantas valley. Another speculation is that Borobudur was abandoned as the population converted to Hinduism and then to Islam.</div><br />

The few sentences of instructions issued by Raffles was all the world needed to credit him with the rediscovery.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">Upon hearing about this marvellous ruins deep in the jungles near the village of Bumisegoro, Raffles sent a Dutch engineer by the name of H.C. Cornellius to investigate. It was Cornellious who employed 200 workmen and over a period of two months, set forth to clear the vegetation and earth, to reveal the buried ruins. He found that the structure was unstable, so he did not unearth all the galleries. He did report back his findings to Raffles.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">The Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824 saw the delineation of the Malay archipelogo between British Malaya and Dutch East Indies. It resulted in the British administrators leaving Java. The Dutch administrator of the Kedu region, named Hartmann, continued the escavation of Borobudur that was begun by Cornellius. In 1835 Borobudur was fully unearth for the first time in many centuries. Subsequent wave of Dutch engineers further documented Borobudur.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Preservation of Borobudur</strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The earliest attempt to preserve Borobudur began in 1885, when Yzerman, the chairman of the Archaeological Society of Yogyakarta, discovered the hidden base of Borobudur. The discovery garnered public attention to the monument, leading to the Dutch government take steps to safeguard it. A commission was set up to access the monument.</div><br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">In 1907-1911, restoration was carried out according to the principles of anastylosis. It was headed by Theodor van Erp, the Dutch army engineer officer. The grounds around the monument was escavated to look for missing buddha statues and head. The circular platforms and their stupas were dismantled and restored them. By the time the restoration work was completed, Borobudur looked better than it had centuries earlier. But it was shortlived.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">Within 15 years, the gallery walls start to sag. There were signs of new cracks and general deterioration. Due to limited budget, van Erp had concentrated on cosmetic restoration and had not put in place a proper drainage system. Now alkali salts and calcium hydroxide from the concrete used in the reconstruction leeched through the stones and hastened their erosion. A more thorough restoration is needed, and fast.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">In late 1960′s, the Indonesian government sought help from the international community to restore Borobudur. In 1973 a restoration master plan was put in place.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">Between 1975 and 1982, the Indonesia government, with help from Unesco, dismantled the whole monument, cleaned all 1,460 panels, put in place a drainage system and reassembled Borobudur. The monumental project rivalled the restoration of Abu Simbel Temple. Around 600 people were involved in the project, and it cost US$6,901,243. Upon completion of the restoration work, inscribed Borobudur in 1991 as a World Heritage Site.</div><input name="IL_RELATED_TAGS" type="hidden" value="1" />Gunturhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02230804714056019048noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6614767258364387313.post-39566896986830572432012-07-30T21:20:00.000+07:002012-07-30T21:20:26.903+07:00Segara Anakan, Sempu Island, Malang<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj1Nc9UJ2dtcuPtZ803veLrxikYVMYlkGzybKVCDoaUKkuCXcCt142-RwJBsJUfmpp8q601eHuioSJeMRdRIhyphenhyphenWHbblaYpwyrBBHeN19_E_fkQMtek1lyPAbMwyncSwirPodngyw9XyJw/s1600/SEMPU+segara+anakan+malang.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj1Nc9UJ2dtcuPtZ803veLrxikYVMYlkGzybKVCDoaUKkuCXcCt142-RwJBsJUfmpp8q601eHuioSJeMRdRIhyphenhyphenWHbblaYpwyrBBHeN19_E_fkQMtek1lyPAbMwyncSwirPodngyw9XyJw/s320/SEMPU+segara+anakan+malang.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Underwater enthusiasts flock to this region because it offers the world’s best marine sights. Two days earlier, some of these travelers had been at a deafening corner of a tourist trap in Bali. Once they took their flight to the bird head of the island of Papua everything changed as they embarked on a diving tour of a lifetime. In the Raja Ampat islands, divers can explore vertical underwater walls. The thrill of drift diving is another great challenge. These are the awesome experiences you will find in Raja Ampat. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Meanwhile, on this tour several divers were well equipped and looked advanced. The territory within the islands of the Four Kings is enormous, An experts from Conservation International, The Nature Conservancy, and National Institute of Oceanography (LON) Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) have done a rapid assessment in 2001 and 2002. The result, they noted in these waters there are more than 540 hard coral species (75% of the total species in the world), more than 1,000 species of reef fish, 700 species of molluscs, and the highest record for gonodactyloid stomatopod crustaceans. This makes 75% of the world's coral species in Raja Ampat. None of the places with the same area has a number of coral species as much as this. When divers first arrive here their excitement is palpable. It’s common to hear people praise God as they take in the remarkable scenery. Others prefer to remain in silence taking in the overwhelming sight of so many islands with crystal clear water that softly brushes over the white sandy beaches. </div><br />

While the landscape may look like a dream, this is not an illusion. As you embark on your dive, the phrase ‘Attention to detail’ takes on new meaning as pigmy seahorses swim around your fingers. Manta Rays and wobbegongs will glide right by you. Tuna fish, giant trevallies, snappers, and even barracudas are there to complete your underwater ‘meeting list’. Not to mention the friendly assistant of the dugong, and a busy colleague, the turtle. Natural and untouched beauty is the main attraction here. With no unnecessary adages, the sky, the lush islands, the sea, and everything above and under it is genuinely saying ‘Welcome to Raja Ampat Islands; your personal Disneyland of diving sites’.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<br />
Ubud is popular in part today because it is the best place in Bali to break out of the tourist mode and get off the beaten path, although far from undiscovered. Hotels are plentiful; home stays and Indonesian guesthouses (losmen) are easily available to the foreign tourist. Many tourists simply base their entire stay in the city and travel to other destinations from Ubud.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: right;"><tbody>

<br />
Here are 13 tips should be considered when exploring Komodo National Park:</div><ul style="text-align: justify;"><li><b>Ranger,</b> Make sure you are always with the ranger when exploring Komodo National Park. The ranger has enough experience in dealing with the Komodo. The ranger always carries Y-branched wood stick, resembling Komodo’s tongue. It is used to banish the Komodo who try to come near tourists.</li>
</ul><ul style="text-align: justify;"><li><b>Keep walking in group,</b> When you do trekking, make sure you always walk in your group since the Komodo attacked its alone prey.</li>
</ul><ul><li><b>Avoid sudden movements,</b> Komodo are usually in quiet if people getting through them. However, you must avoid sudden movements in front of Komodo. Your sudden movements will make you get chased by the dragons.</li>
</ul><ul style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6MJeKrSvCHV_phvgq_jvC_gvcBeyT0yJtGo_618reL8Bx-eTgLJgnp661PiQDzpxve-gQvJRm6LP8njAGYShCH_2zNIjS-6QH4p-A9w9cxdIQ4CeeEXb3bwU8J1wL3obt0ft1iQ6lY28/s1600/diving+in+komodo+indonesia+tourism+info.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6MJeKrSvCHV_phvgq_jvC_gvcBeyT0yJtGo_618reL8Bx-eTgLJgnp661PiQDzpxve-gQvJRm6LP8njAGYShCH_2zNIjS-6QH4p-A9w9cxdIQ4CeeEXb3bwU8J1wL3obt0ft1iQ6lY28/s200/diving+in+komodo+indonesia+tourism+info.jpg" width="200" /></a>
<li><b>Being chased by Komodo?,</b> Run in zigzag pattern and avoid run straight. Komodo can run about 18 km per hour in straight line; hence have trouble in winded running. In addition, you can also dodge them by finding higher ground or moving into Rumah Panggung (staged house) near you. The buildings in KNP area are designed as staged ones, since Komodo get difficult to climb stairs. However, you still need to be careful because the dragons like to shelter under the building.</li>
</ul><ul style="text-align: justify;"><li><b>Avoid climbing up a tree,</b> Do not climb up a tree in KNP area region because one-to-two years old Komodo are good to climb. Komodo in those ages get forced to climb a tree in purpose to avoid adult Komodo. You should remember, Komodo are cannibals, they could have the weaker ones.</li>
</ul><ul style="text-align: justify;"><li><b>Good acting</b>, their silence just a deception. If you encounter a lazing Komodo, you must be in careful. It is good in acting; the Komodo is on standby position and waiting for unsuspecting prey. Be careful in moving then. The Komodo is likely looked as dust or dry wood sticks when they are being asleep. You can accidentally step on the dragons.</li>
</ul><ul style="text-align: justify;"><li><b>Avoid using perfume & producing noise</b>, Komodo has a keen earshot and smell. Your ranger will advise you not to use too stinging perfume and avoid making noise when you do trekking, as it can lure the Komodo.</li>
</ul><ul style="text-align: justify;"><li><b>Menstruating women</b>, Komodo can smell blood as far as 9 – 12 miles. Women who are menstruating may still do trekking. However, you cannot do trekking in your high period. Komodo will instinctively think the blood-smell as its prey. You must tell the ranger in advance. It is necessary so that rangers can guard you more.</li>
</ul><ul style="text-align: justify;"><li><b>Avoid lighting a fire</b>, Do not smoke or light a fire in the KNP area. It could flame and ruin the beauty of exotic savannah in the area. The islands of KNP are vulnerable to flame because of their dry and barren.</li>
</ul><ul style="text-align: justify;"><li><b>Cloth</b>, Cotton wearing that absorbs sweat and convenient to use is advisable to wear when trekking in the area. The sun is very hot and the air is too dry. Do not forget to use sun block cream and a hat when you are exploring KNP. To get comfort in trekking, mountain sandals or sneakers are likely used.</li>

Bringing the world closer to all the wonders of Komodo, Komodo Night proved to be most effective in promoting the Komodo National Park as the real wonder of the world.<br />
<br />
Located between the Indonesian islands of Flores and Sumbawa, the Komodo National Park comprises three islands: Komodo, Rinca and Padar Islands. The park is famous for its pre-historic Komodo Dragons, where the remaining 3,000 beasts can be found exclusively in this part of the world. Other than being the natural habitat of the Komodo, the park is also home to one of the richest marine environments in the world, with at least 1,000 fish species, hundreds species of coral, 70 types of sponge, 19 whales and dolphin species, and the gliders of the deep ocean : the Manta Rays.<br />

However, the steep walls and occasionally strong, rapidly changing currents mean that many sites cater more to the intermediate/advanced diver. There are beginner-friendly sites too and all dive shops can arrange introduction dives and Open Water Dive courses.<br />
<br />
The North Sulawesi Watersports Association offers oodles of detail on diving in the park. All dive shops in the park are affiliated with resorts, so see Sleep below for listings. Snorkeling is fantastic in front of many of the resorts around the island, with an incredible amount of marine life inhabiting the shallows. Remember not to snorkel without fins as the currents can sometimes be strong and change quickly even when they are not. Pick a reference point on the island and do not stray too far unless you are a very confident swimmer.</div>Gunturhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02230804714056019048noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6614767258364387313.post-41322378137048198172011-09-16T18:48:00.002+07:002011-09-20T23:48:24.544+07:00Sanur Beach, Denpasar<div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf-eIXHXd0zAc-TuszW159flMA-dxSkSvKiWnSNhtnFu_4Xiy1sPf41unl58eMd33JCnc06dwSJFN77wRVp64_iVSVWWmvhqUuMsHAWL8cqK9Ur95qsKPhaYwgk3XreFWdAVI5Edef9I2i/s1600/sanur-beach-sunrise-safari+and+indonesia+tourism.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf-eIXHXd0zAc-TuszW159flMA-dxSkSvKiWnSNhtnFu_4Xiy1sPf41unl58eMd33JCnc06dwSJFN77wRVp64_iVSVWWmvhqUuMsHAWL8cqK9Ur95qsKPhaYwgk3XreFWdAVI5Edef9I2i/s400/sanur-beach-sunrise-safari+and+indonesia+tourism.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Go Shopping</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sukawati Art Market sells various Balinese handicrafts, outfit, bags, and others as souvenir for fellows and friends in your home country. Needless to say, when you buy something in any traditional art market what you need to do is bargain. In this Sukawati Art Market, the price is indeed very low. However, when the sellers see some foreigners who would like to buy their goods they will see you as "BANK" and increase the price dramatically. So don’t give up bargaining. Along the road of Sukawati-Ubud you also may see booths sellig handicraft from glass, or wood, or stones at right and left side of the road.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
