On the origins of the Baduy, the answer would be obtained were those descended from Batara roots, one of the seven gods or a god who is sent to earth. The origin is often attributed to the Prophet Adam as the first ancestor. According to their belief, Adam and his descendants, including members had the task Baduy recluse or ascetic (mandita) to maintain the harmony of the world. They also assume that the tribe Baduy is the first civilization in the world time.

Other opinions which proves the oldest human Baduy at least in Java, based on the evidence of prehistoric and historical, Lebak Sibedug berundak punden Mountain Mist is more than 3 km Cibeo old neolithic period of 2500 BC, have the same symmetry with the same heritage with the pyramids in Egypt and Temple Mancu Pichu in Peru thousands of years ago.

While Arca Domas is still mysterious, located south of Ciujung river Cikeusik dihulu, Kendeng mountains. the south and was first published by Koorders which came on July 5, 1864 (Djoewisno, 1987).

The presence of troops with special duties appear to be the embryo of Baduy community that still inhabit the river area at Mount Kendeng Ciujung it (Adimihardja, 2000). Differences of opinion led to the suspicion that in the past, their historical identity and deliberately closed, which probably is to protect communities from attacks Baduy own enemies Pajajaran

Samosir a beautiful island, in Indonesia raya

Introducing:
Indonesia raya is rich in culture and tourism, many of the islands became a separate privilege for this country. facts prove if the highway is Indonesia Indonesia archipelago. and one which will be discussed here is the island of Samosir, which is located on the islands of Sumatra.

Samosir Island is a very unique island because the island is a volcanic island in the middle of Lake Toba, North Sumatra. This island has an altitude of 1,000 meters above sea level it is this which makes a lot of attention to domestic and foreign tourists.
 
Toba lake tourism potential of natural beauty that is very charming, cool mountain breeze makes the beauty more complete Samosir Island. Samosir Island to go to get through two routes, the first can be achieved by road through or we can pengururan parapat connected through the ferry crossing.
 
I use the road toward samosir, we chartered a car accident because of more than 5 passengers. In addition to renting a car there are many buses that led to Lake Toba, the cost can indeed use the bus is cheaper. But the longer travel time and we can not walk - the road is didanau toba. Arriving diToba lot of hotel accommodation to 3 star jasmine, which provided lodging facilities there is also quite comprehensive. Especially for the backpacker who wants to be cost efficient to find the inn was clean and cheap, I could enjoy the beauty of the lake with walking path toba lake lane. Because we come to the afternoon and did not have time to cross to the island of Samosir, the next day we had planned to cross.
 
In the morning me and my family was getting ready to cross, with a ferry crossing to buy tickets. While waiting for my ship's departure for the hunting took photos around the lake, is natural and beautiful Lake toba is very good. The unfortunate people around still less in keeping the tourist potential, largely because the population still use lake toba as the main wellspring of their lives. And the number of garbage trash around the lake, I noticed it when the hotel occupancy rate did not like the first, now hardly be too noisy tourists. If the local government and surrounding communities will have great attention lake toba tourism potential they have. I'm sure one day the lake toba become one of the Indonesian tourism mainstay.
The ferry had arrived, we were getting ready to ride the ferry. To aksses to Samosir Island there are two types of ferries, the first type to transport passengers and that it can carry two four-wheeled vehicles. Vehicles drove very useful for families who want to tour the island of Samosir, for backpacker Arriving at P samosir can rent motorcycles or spend the night there. During our ferry crossing through the landscape was treated to a cool lake toba, blue sky and beautiful nature. The weather here makes me feel at home around the time it happened the weather was sunny.

Samosir Island has tourist attractions of the lake above the lake, which is one of the uniqueness of Samosir Island. There are two lakes on the island in the middle of Lake Toba. namely Lake Sidihoni and Aek Natonang.

In addition there are many cultural and historical uniqueness of the other attractions on the island of Samosir, there Pusuk Buhit here is believed to be the home of Batak tribe, who took the stage here is the existence of the surrounding rock and a guide which guides explaining the Batak ethnic origins, they explained very interesting and clear. When finished listening to the story Batak ethnic origin, in addition to left and right a lot of selling mostly souvenirs and wood carvings typical of cloth, as well as day trips to shop for souvenirs. In addition there is also a hot spring, the museum Batak traditional culture, to relieve tired and weary There Tuktuk Siadong as boarding and bathing, and Tano ponggol connecting mainland Samosir Island and the mainland of Sumatra. Samosir Island is a leading North Sumatra Tourism, with the potential of natural beauty and cultural diversity. I believe if the government and local residents realize and fix a time beauty of the island of Samosir and Lake Toba will often visited by tourists. And developed into a leading tourist area.

Maestro Painting In Indonesia Part - 2

Hi all ..

Any posts on my yesterday, I write a biography about one of the maestro painter in indonesia is Basoeki Abdullah. and today I will write and narrate a little about her other painters of his maestro, is Affandi, a painter indonesia origin at the rather know in the world. I have retired if pride or discuss painting maestro told about this one because me and him (Affandi) come from the same city, cirebon. let's see a little story about the life of this painting mestro (Affandi ).



Affandi Koesoema (Cirebon, West Java, 1907 - 23 May 1990) was a painter known as Maestro painting of Indonesia, Indonesian painter may be the most famous in the international world, thanks to its expressionist style unique. In the 1950s it was more a single exhibition in India, UK, Europe and the United States. Painter productive, Affandi was painting more than two thousand paintings. Affandi was born in Cirebon in the year 1907, the son of R. Koesoema, mantri a measure of sugar in the factory in Ciledug, Cirebon. In terms of education, including one that he has a formal education is quite high. For those segenerasi his education HIS, MULO, and subsequently graduated from the AMS, including the education obtained only by a handful of children. However, the art of drawing talent, which is very thick beat other disciplines in their lives, and has made his name with the same noise figure or other field leaders.

Affandi in the eyes of the world



Affandi is only one of the great painter of India together with other painters such as Raden Saleh, Basuki Abdullah and others. However, because of various advantages and privileges his works, the pengagumnya until menganugerahinya a different surname and glory among other nicknames, such as painter Ekspressionis New Maestro Indonesia even nicknames. Is the International Herald Tribune newspaper who dub it as a painter Ekspressionis New Indonesia, while in Florence, Italy, he was given the title of Grand Maestro.
Various awards and prizes like a trip glut of men who lived almost all his life forth in the world this painting. Of them, in the year 1977 he obtained from the International Peace Prize Dag Hammershjoeld. Even Central Committee Diplomatic Academy of Peace Pax Mundi in Castelo San Marzano, Florence, Italy is a member of the Academy lifting Rights Human.

From within their own country, does not lose a lot of awards that have been received, of which, the "Stars Jasa Utama" which gave the Government of the Republic of Indonesia in 1978. And since 1986 he also was a Member of the Board of Penyantun ISI (Institut Seni Indonesia) in Yogyakarta. Even a poet of Force 45 Chairil Anwar also had to give the gift of a special rhythm for the title "the painter Affandi".

Approach and to introduce his works to the art lovers of painting, Affandi often hold exhibitions in various places. India in the country, he had exhibitions around to different cities. Similarly in various countries in Europe, America and Australia. In Europe, he had, among other exhibitions in London, Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, and Rome. So also in the countries of the Americas, such as in Brazil, Bahia, San Paulo, and the United States. It therefore also makes his name known in different parts of the world. Even famous curator of origin Magelang, Oei Hong Điên, never pursue painting Affandi to Rio de Janeiro.

Many other awards, because if I describe may be too long to describe in ... when there is shortage in this paper I hope you understand it .. thank you
