Daily Activities - Day 4

Wonderful Journey in Baduy Village

This tr ip was real ly wonderful because very challenging. We needed arround 30 minutesto reach baduy village from bis station by walking. Visiting baduy village felt like traveling back in time. The Baduy devides into two groups, Baduy Luar (Outer) and Baduy Dalam (Inner). In my simple word, Baduy Dalam is pure Baduy who holdstrongly their cultures (rules) and Badui Luar isBaduy who can receive outside cultures.

Interesting Point

Hill Climbing

The traditional buildings of baduy etnic was so awesome.Their Buildings are made by nuture material such as bamboo and wood. Baduy people don’t use “cut and ll method” to build their house. It is built based on the contour of lands. That method can keep their environment natural.

With baduy people

“ They hold

their

cultures

strongly”

“ They take

what they

need only,

not too much”

They believe that they have the mandate to maintain the harmony and balance of the universe, which depends on the preservation of their cultures.

Daily Activities - Day 5 Explore Baduy Village more

Staying in Gazebo Kampung (Baduy Luar Village) was like surviving in ancient civilization. There was no mobile phonesignal, no electricity and television. We spent our time talking about Baduy’s life with baduy people at night. In the morning, we toke bath down in the river. After that,we observed the interesting Baduy’s daily life. Many great view and fresh air can be founded in this village. The Baduy relies on farming to meet their daily needs. During harvest season, they will keep their paddy into the barn that called“leuit”.

Interesting Point

“ Baduy people

are always

grateful for

what they

have in life ”

The bamboo bridge

Go down to the river

From their way of living, there are lots of thing that we can learn from Baduy. Their harmonywith nature and bel ie f are part of their traditional religion “SundaWiwitan”, successfully help them to lead simple and humble w a y o f l i f e i n t h e w o r l d .
