Indonesian Animal: Komodo

2008-03-25T02:16:00.000-07:00

Komodo (Varanus Komodoensis) is a genuine animal of Indonesia. This is a species of lizard. This animal inhabits at Taman Nasional Komodo ( Komodo National Park) in Komodo Island, Nusa Tenggara Timur (East Nusa Tenggara) Indonesia. This species is one of a protected animal in Indonesia.

A member of the Varanidae, the Komodo is the largest living species of lizard, growing to an average length of 2–3 meters (approximately 6.5–10 ft). This great length is attributed to island gigantism, as there are no carnivorous mammals to fill the niche in the islands that they live on, and the Komodo dragon's low metabolic rate.As a result of their great size, these lizards are apex predators, dominating the ecosystems in which they live.

Their large size and fearsome reputation makes them popular zoo exhibits. In the wild their range has contracted due to human activities and they are listed as vulnerable by the IUCN. They are protected under Indonesian law and a national park, Komodo National Park, was founded in order to protect them.

In the wild, adult Komodos usually weigh around 70 kilograms (154 lb),but captive specimens often weigh more. The largest verified wild specimen was 3.13 meters (10 ft 3 in) long and weighed 166 kilograms (365 lb), including undigested food. Although Komodo dragons are the largest living lizard, they are not the longest, a distinction held by the thinner Papua monitor (Varanus salvadorii).[Komodo dragons have a tail as long as their body, as well as about 60 frequently-replaced serrated teeth that may be up to 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) in length.

Raja Ampat Papua, Paradise Islands

2008-01-15T22:54:00.000-08:00

Located off the northwest tip of Bird's Head Peninsula on the tip of west Papua, Indonesia. Raja Ampat mean the Four Kings,is a groups of archipelago comprising over 1,500 small islands, cays and shoals. There are four main islands at Raja Ampat is Misool, Salawati, Batanta and Waigeo. Located in the Coral Triangle, Raja Ampat become the heart of the world’s coral reef biodiversity, the seas around Raja Ampat possibly hold the richest variety of species in the world.

Raja Ampat's pristine beauty, both above the water and below the water, is truly unrivalled. Its remote location and lack of infrastructure have inhibited the growth of tourism. This area's staggering abundance of marine life is due in part to its incredibly low human population density. Beneath the dense jungle canopy, the islands are primarily karst limestone, which are dry, inhospitable, and overwhelmingly vertical. The few resident Papuans are mainly a subsistence society, exploiting a variety of resources to meet their basic needs. Fishing is only one of these resources, and they continue to employ traditional, low-impact fishing techniques, using a hook and line from dug-out canoes.

The area’s massive coral colonies show that its reefs are resistant to threats like coral bleaching and disease —threats that now jeopardize the survival of corals around the world. In addition, Raja Ampat’s strong ocean currents sweep coral larvae across the Indian and Pacific Oceans to replenish other reef ecosystems. Raja Ampat’s coral diversity, resilience to threats, and ability to replenish reefs make it a global priority for marine protection. Survey Confirms Highest Marine Biodiversity on Earth.

Indonesian Animal:Orang Utan

2008-01-13T20:59:00.000-08:00

Indionesia is a tropical country with many various of plant and animal. One of the speciall animal is orang utan, genuine form indonesia. The word “orangutan” derives from the Malay orang-hutan, which means “man of the forest.” Found only on the islands of Sumatra and Kalimantan, orangutans are unique among great apes (a group that includes gorillas, chimpanzees and bonobos) in that they are arboreal. Long, incredibly powerful arms and flexible hips and legs provide remarkable ease of locomotion at heights of up to 100 feet.

There are two spesies of orang utan, kalimantan/Bornean (Pongo pygmaeus) and Sumatran (Pongo abelii).Orangutans are frugivorous (feeding primarily on fruit). Because they feed on so many different varieties of fruit, the apes are important seed disbursers in their native habitat.

Image sourcehttp://www.trekearth.com/....Aceh/Ketambe/photo468213.htm

Orangutans are the world’s largest tree-dwelling mammals, with males weighing over 200 pounds. Adult males of both species exhibit large, fleshy cheek pads, although these are more prominent in Bornean males. The two species can also be differentiated by their coloration: Bornean orangutans have darker skin and chestnut-colored coats, while Sumatrans are closer to ginger in color.

True to their lifestyles in the wild, where they must keep track of fruit availability, timing and seasons, not to mention puzzle their ways through difficult fruit casings, orangutans are highly skilled problem-solvers capable of synthesizing an astounding array of information.

The 1883 eruption ejected more than 25 cubic kilometres of rock, ash, and pumice, and generated the loudest sound historically reported: the cataclysmic explosion was distinctly heard as far away as Perth in Australia approx. 1,930 miles (3,110 km), and the island of Rodrigues near Mauritius approx. 3,000 miles (5,000 km). Near Krakatoa, according to official records, 165 villages and towns were destroyed and 132 seriously damaged, at least 36,417 (official toll) people died, and many thousands were injured by the eruption, mostly from the tsunamis which followed the explosion.

The combined effects of pyroclastic flows, volcanic ashes and tsunamis had disastrous results in the region. There were no survivors from 3,000 people located at the island of Sebesi, about 13 km from Krakatoa. Pyroclastic flows killed around 1,000 people at Ketimbang on the coast of Sumatra some 40 km north from Krakatoa. The official death toll recorded by the Dutch authorities was 36,417 and many settlements were destroyed, including Teluk Betung and Ketimbang in Sumatra, and Sirik and Semarang in Java. The areas of Banten on Java and the Lampong on Sumatra were devastated. There are numerous documented reports of groups of human skeletons floating across the Indian Ocean on rafts of volcanic pumice and washing up on the east coast of Africa, up to a year after the eruption. Some land on Java was never repopulated; it reverted to jungle and is now the Ujung Kulon National Park.

Biggest Budha Temple, Borobudur

2007-11-27T01:18:00.000-08:00

Indonesia have one of seven amazing worlds , Borobudur. Though, on recent survey, Borobudur is no loger listed, but Borobudur is still amazing. Borobudur Temple is one of the greatest Buddhist monuments in the world. This colossal relic of Borobudur Temple was built by Sailendra dynasty between 750 and 842 AD; 300 years before Cambodia's Angkor Wat, 400 years before work had begun on the great European cathedrals.

In Indonesia temples are known as candi, thus "Borobudur Temple" is locally known as Candi Borobudur. The term candi is also used more loosely to describe any ancient structure, for example, gates and bathing structures. The origins of the name Borobudur however are unclear, although the original names of most ancient Indonesian temples are no longer known. The name 'Borobudur' was first written in the Sir Thomas Raffles book on Java history. Raffles wrote about a monument called borobudur, but there are no older documents suggesting the same name. The only old Javanese manuscript that hints at the monument as a holy Buddhist sanctuary is Nagarakertagama, written by Mpu Prapanca in 1365.

Little is known about its early history except that a huge workforce - sculptors, plasterers, master masons, painters - must have been labored in the tropical heat to shift and carve the 60,000.

Visit Indonesia, Visit Semarang

2007-11-15T02:03:00.000-08:00

Semarang is the capital of Central Java, one of six provinces in Java Island is DKI Jakarta, Banten, DI Yogyakarta, West Java, East Java. As the capital, Semarang is typicaly metropolitan than other city in central Java. The Northern part of the city is lying across on the plain coast and the Southern part is on the hilly side from Candi Baru area upward to the town of Ungaran.

Semarang is a busy administrative and Trading city, most of the offices, business centers, industrial estates are concentrated in the low land, where as in the hilly side, there are many houses with the beautiful gardens with a superb view to the town and the sea.

Many interesting place can be found at Semarang.

LAWANG SEWU (Thousand Doors), In the downtown of Semarang is also a remarkable building from the "Old Dutch Time".

GOMBEL, A favorite place on the hill with its fresh air and picturesque landscape. In the evening, people like to be here to relax while enjoying the panoramic vista to the city and the harbor.

SIMPANG LIMA
Simpang Lima (means "five intersection") is a vast field at the heart of Semarang. At night, we can eat, drink or just bring our self-wandering around Simpang Lima. There are plenty of food stalls offering variety of Indonesian and Javanese food. The price is cheap, sometimes very cheap. It is a square with many shops and cinemas around. In the evening a lot of people are here taking a walk or window-shopping. Early in the morning, people are jogging along the street.

Simpang Lima, the downtown of Semarang area, is probably the best place to stay if we want to enjoy the hustle bustle of the town life. However, if we are looking for tranquility, the hotels around Sisingamangaraja Street, the upscale neighborhood in the hills of Semarang is probably better.

BANDUNGAN, is a highland cool, called Gunug Ungaran,at southern Semarang. This is a right place for honeymoon, heiking, or just vacation. There are many cheap hotel and vilaas rented. To go here we can tak by bus from Semarang, Terboyo Bus Station for about 5000 rupiahs price.

Gedong Songo (nine buildings)
Is a group of small 8th century Hindu Javanese temples, can be reached either by car or on horseback from the town. Built at about the same time as the temples of the Dieng complex, Gedong Songo is one of the most beautifully sited temple complexes in Central Java and the views alone are worth the trip. Gedung Songo ('Nine Buildings') belong to the earliest antiquities of Java, they follow up the temples on the Dieng Plateau directly, for what about time. They were also built high in the mountains in an area full with volcanic activity; and they were also from Hinduist origin. But where the temples on Dieng Plateau are somewhat squeezed into a foggy valley, Gedung Songo are spread over the higher parts of the mountains, which guarantee a splendid view. On clear days, the horizon is one long row of volcanoes, from mount Lawu in the east, towards mount Sumbing, mount Sundoro and Dieng Plateau in the west.

The temples were built between 730 and 780, the first temple excepted, which could have been built some 30 years later. Gunung Songo is not the original name and also doesn't point at the number of structures. The number nine has a special meaning in the Javanese culture, in which there is a strong attachment to numbers. The temples are located at about the same distance from each other (100 meters, 200 meters) on a naturally formed terrace of edge of a mountain.

Just come back from Bali. Bali is charming. If you were to ask me which part of Bali that I like most, I would say the simple yet delicate Balinese life.
95% of them are Hindu. Yes, Bali Hindu is different from the Tamil Hindu we used to see in the country. They contribute 40% of their income for prayers. The Balinese women woke up 5am every morning to prepare their offerings to God.

I’m amazed with Bali artistic features. We can see stone carved statues everywhere. Be it figurine of Hindu Goddess, Buddha, cat (ya, they like cats), lizard, Barong (the sacred symbol which is known to chase away evils), Garuda(the transport animal of preserving God) or a baby, hehe!

Every roundabout is guided by a statue, it’s said that there are seen and unseen things that help to keep peace and safe. Besides policemen, they build up the goddess statue to safeguard their people on the traffic, interesting ya?!
