A cold and quite dawn, the town of Ende is still asleep, a man is already riding on a back of motorcycle taxi (localy known as Ojek) struggling sleepy and cold. I am

that ostentatious adventurer, I have to pierce through this chilly morning, because if I’m late I will have to wait until the next morning to enjoy the beauty of Riung’s 17 island marine parks.

The motorcycle taxi drove through the town; I could only withstand the weight of my overweight carrier and a camera bag on my lap. My destination is Ndao terminal; it is from this terminal the buses that go around cities in Flores leaves.

A trip through Flores is actualy not on my list. It just happen spontaniously while I was in Sumba Island. But then again, I always like unpredictable things such as this. Meeting new people along the way, learning new culture and their habbits, learning from every journey, that is my purpose of traveling.

I was amazed by the view along the way, on my left side is a cliff with sea at the bottom, while on the right side is a wall of steep cliffs. Upon arrival in Ende, I was welcomed by a group of children going to school. What interesting is the vehicle they used, not a school bus but a pick-up truck?! It is the strong will to study that moved me.

The travel to Mbay is really challenging due to the heavily damaged road and the long winding road. The good news is that there are renovations going on in several spots. Hopefully with better transportation facilities, the economy will get a good impact.

Before entering the Mbay city our eyes were spoiled by asthonising views of green hills and savanna stretch as far as eye can see, as if a beautiful fine silk carpet. It is an undoubtful beautiful natural painting. I was so busy taking pictures, seeing such a beautiful scenery all I can think of is being

grateful to have opportunities to view all of this beauty.

The last stop for the bus is Mbay terminal. After saying good bye to the friendly bus driver I hurried get of the bus to pick up my carrier in the bus trunk. Behind this terminal is a traditional market. Then I asked the men in uniforms about information on Bemo (smaller local transport) to get me from Mbay to Riung.

Luckily after rough 10 KM, we finally get a wide smooth road. Beautiful green hills are seen on sides. But the heat is so unbearable. Up until one point, the Bemo even have to stop and turn its engine off. The friendly driver told me to get off the car and take a picture of a beautiful hill in front of me.

After passing the beautiful mountain I eventualy fell a sleep next to the diver, as if I just slept he wake me up and the Bemo has stoped. From the place were the Bemo stop the amazing view of Riung’s 17 islands marine park is visible

Upon arrival in Riung, the Bemo took me to Nirvana bungalow. There are only a few accommodations around Riung. One of it has become a favorite for foreign visitiors is the Nirvana Bungalow. Run by a friendly young

man named Mr Rustam. It is a very simple place, with walls made of bamboo webbing. There are no luxurious facilities in the room, only a bed and mosquito netting, complete with inside bathroom. All seems to blend in with nature.

After finishing a cup of Flores coffee as their welcome drinks in my bungalow, I hurried to prepare stuff to get into the sea. On the harbor we are waited by the captain who will take us traveling around the islands.

He then suggests us to make a stop at Kalong Island (The Bat Island) first, and then

do snorkeling in Tiga Island and visit Rutong Island to make pictures. That is how the trip used to.

On the way to Kalong Island I was amazed by the beauty stretch in front of me. Ocean spread with clear water, while in the distance beautiful hills complete this natural masterpiece.

Upon arrival in Kalong Island I was greet by awesome phenomenon, thousands of bats hanging on the mangrove branches. Satisfied by this amazing view of Kalong Island, we continue our trip to Tiga Island,

the best spot for snorkeling. But my visit here is missing timed, the short tide troubling us while snorkeling due to the short visibility under the water. This island itself is interesting to be explored, but I have to hurry back due to the wheater. The view of the mainland in Riung the dark rainy cloud is seen.

We didn’t wait long to set sail to the next destination, the Rutong island. Almost every angle in the island is beautiful to be explored through the lens of my camera. The sloping white sandy beach with its crystal clear water has its own charm. A few gazebos placed along the beach looks a bit unmaintained. But it’s comfortable to be seated while enjoying the beautiful scenery. All seems to be so beautiful, little hills behind me seems to call me to climb on to it. But the heat makes me cancelling the plan. Rutong Island is a perfect place to swim and play in its nice beach.

We then head back to Riung harbor to enjoy the sunset from there. I intend to end this beautiful day with sunset view. Riung Marine Park is so beautiful, but sadly it was not well maintained. We even couldn’t find dive operator around the town. What is available is just snorkeling equipment rental. Beside that, it is very hard to get transportation to this town. If only the local government pays more attention to this place it could be much better.

Later that night it didn’t took long before I feel a sleep with memories of amazing and peaceful Riung.

BarongDance

THE DANCE OF AN ETERNAL BATTLE

12 THE JOURNEY OCT 2015|12 THE JOURNEY OCT 2015|

Page 13: The Journey October 2015

Since the dawn of mankind on Earth the planet has changed so dramatically, caused both by Mother Nature’s

relentless energy to twist, turn and flip the world’s tectonic plates, volcanoes, skies and oceans, and humans’ insatiable demand for resources. So often we hear that the only constant thing in the world is change, therefore those who survive are the ones who are able to change and adapt to new challenges.

However another constant thing in life seems too often be overlooked by most of us: the battle between good and evil. History proves how the two eternal forces always balance each other out, like yin and yang.

There is no guarantee that things would remain at one side forever. There is no guarantee that a good man would always be good, and a bad man would remain so for the rest of his life.

The same philosophy had inspired the Balinese to create a dance richly loaded with symbolism of the eternal battle between good and evil: the Barong dance. The mythical beast – often takes shape of a lion among other less-known forms of a tiger, a boar and a dragon – is considered a protective spirit of the island, a tradition dating back from the pre-Hindu period. A Barong is usually decorated with gilded leaves, fragments of small mirrors and voluminous dried ijuk (palm fibre) to create a formidable figure representing virtue.

On the other hand Rangda is attributed to evil spirits, instilling fear and inciting chaos among Balinese with her menacing appearance – a demonic figure with sharp nails and a long unfurled tongue. Her origin can be traced back to the time when King Udayana from the House of Warmadewa ruled Bali in the 10th century.

During his rule, the Balinese king married a Javanese princess, Gunapriyadharmapatni, from the Medang Kingdom – the same

kingdom which left magnificent 9th century temples spread across Java as its legacies. The marriage instigated suspicions from the Balinese royal court upon their foreign consort queen’s ambition to include Bali in the realm of the Javanese kingdom.

Gunapriyadharmapatni, later known as Mahendradatta, introduced the worship of Durga, a goddess in Shaktism school of Hinduism often associated with death, in her new land. King Udayana himself later condemned his wife for practicing black magic and banished her from his kingdom. Enraged, humiliated and disappointed, Mahendradatta then summoned all the evil spirits on the island to avenge her and kill everyone in the kingdom. Rangda, Old Javanese for widow, since then has always been associated with evil.

The Barong dance portrays the battle between Barong and Rangda including sequences where the demon queen relentlessly attempts to turn people away from virtue. The finale shows Balinese men with their keris – a traditional dagger – attempting to defeat Rangda, only to meet their own demise for the evil queen was much too powerful. Barong eventually resurrects them and expels Rangda, forcing her to flee and move to the forests on the island. Peace returns to the village, but the mighty Barong does not kill the demon queen, epitomizing a reality in the world where there will always be virtue and evil, constantly battling each other.

AyamTaliwang

14 THE JOURNEY OCT 2015|

At first glance, Taliwang Chicken looks almost like the common grilled or fried chicken, simply

covered with a spicy relish. Only after tasting it, we can discern the difference. The meat is well done and very soft in texture. Both hot and sweet, it has the aroma of terasi (fermented shrimp paste), which prompts us to savor every mouthful.

Taliwang Chicken is even more appetizing when accompanied with local side dishes such as plecing (water spinach

with tomato-chili relish) and beberuk (eggplant in chili sauce) also with a nice warm rice. Ayam Taliwang can now be found in nearly all eateries in Mataram and even in some big cities all over Indonesia such as Jakarta, Surabaya and Denpasar, Bali.

A tour of Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, will not be complete without tasting the local Taliwang Chicken -- Ayam Taliwang -- to explore the mystery of its flavor.

Indonesia is commonly known as a tropical vacation destination, but sun and sand is not the only thing Indonesia

had to offer to fulfill traveler’s curiosity. One such as the Cool mountain breezes and the relaxing lake view of Sarangan Lake in Magetan, East Java.

Located about 100 KM from Jogjakarta or 50 KM from Solo, Sarangan Lake is a natural lake situated at the bottom of Mount Lawu with 30 Hectare of area, with 28 meter deep. The temperature is around 18 to 25 Celsius degree.

Page 23: The Journey October 2015

Indonesia is rich with endless natural and cultural that attract travellers from all around the world, and with the most

tourist attraction struggling to coup with the modernisation, while most find it hard to balance it with the culture, some manage to perfectly blend and balance, One such as Jogjakarta.

There are some places you travel just feel good immediately, the feel of welcoming and accepting, makes you feel as if you are belong to that place and for me, Yogyakarta, Indonesia was one of them.

Known locally as Jogjakarta (or, more often, simply “Jog-ja”), Yogyakarta is one of Indonesia’s most-visited cities, in spite of its relatively small size, due to the wealth of attractions that exist in and around it.

What strikes anyone who visits is the rich cultural and artistic heritage that is imbued with all parts of this ancient Sultanate. For one, there is still a legitimate Sultan who often presides at the Kraton, or palace that lies at the heart of the city.

This ability to hold onto traditional values and maintain its cultural identity has made it Java`s premier destinations for those wishing to see and experience a slice of Indonesia. For one, the Sultan`s palace is open to visitors, with informed and professional guides providing a fascinating insight into the daily rituals and tasks that take place at this historic site. Anyone`s first visit to the Kraton is a surprisingly peaceful one, with lovely architecture, quiet, tasteful courtyards and stunning pieces of antique art.

It is this appreciation for the arts that

has earned Yogya the title of `Soul of Java`. But this is no mere empty tourist slogan, the old ways blend fairly seamlessly with the new. From the crumbling ancient buildings to shiny glass-fronted internet cafes and traditional markets where exotic fruits are piled high, lay only streets away from the most modern and exquisite bistro dining.

As for the artistic side; when I first visited over 4 years ago, I learned to cook in a Javanese kitchen, learned the art of creating genuine Jamu treatments, and even took part in a half-day silver-smithing course, held in the historic Kota Gede area of the city. This place has been the `silver-centre`

since the 1930s, and witnessing an artisan create a bespoke piece of jewellery for a loved one is a real joy.

Yogyakarta`s soul and rich tapestry of music come together with the regular performances of Gamelan or traditional dance that take place most evenings. After witnessing the Ramayana ballet, a classic tale of good over

evil, visitors cannot help but feel enchanted by the extreme focus and dedication of the dancers as well as the peculiar and haunting live music that accompanies it.

With its relatively quiet atmosphere, decent pavements and pleasant leafy streets, Yogjakarta also has the famed Jalan Malioboro. Lined with shops, boutique outlets, batik galleries and lovely cafes, this is the place in Yogya to recover from being a tourist and enjoy some retail therapy. Many people exhausted from the bustle of Java, and weary from mountain treks find respite in the artisan gift shops and fascinating

|23 THE JOURNEY OCT 2015

Page 24: The Journey October 2015

galleries to be found in this area.A favourite past-time of many visitors

to Yogya is to see first-hand, the creation of Batik. Batik is a fabric decoration that is created by wax being drawn onto fabric (in order to create a seal) before numerous layers of dye and ink are applied. There are many different styles of Batik, and each one is unique, a part from being visually arresting, they are a fascinating insight into the regions artistic heritage.

Very close to the cite lie the ruins of two of Indonesia`s most important archaeological sites. The temple at Prambanan is not only the largest of its kind in Java, it is also a stunning example of Hindu art and sculpture. Towering stone temples dot the landscape and even at peak times, it is possible to find a spot of one`s own.

One my favourite experiences of Yogyakarta came in the form of a dawn

visit to The Buddhist temple of Borobodur. An exquisitely designed temple, it has fast become the Buddhist heart of Indonesia. With its multi-tiered stupa and perfectly symmetrical design, it is a miracle of modern design yet was built over 1,200 years ago. Experiences Java as serene and enlightening as sitting and watching the sun rise over the distant volcano; each passing moment throwing the monument of Borobodur into new shades of beauty.

THE OLD WAYS

with THE NEW

blend fairlyseamlessly

24 THE JOURNEY OCT 2015|

Page 25: The Journey October 2015

Within only a few hours from the city, the soaring peak of Gunung Merapi can be reached. Meaning `Fire Mountain`, few of Asia`s volcanoes are as astounding and destructive as this. With several eruptions over the past century, it has earned a place amongst only fifteen other volcanoes that have the title of `decade volcano`. This title has been given by a United Nations Disaster Relief Agency for the volcanoes consistent violence. This does not stop the intrepid however, and regular hikes to its peak are arranged from Yogya itself. For the less brave, a long walk around its base proves to be a beautiful yet solemn affair. New growth and woodland encroaches on the volcano itself, but its previous destructive force is on show for all to see. Great gashes in the earth appear where molten ash plummeted down its flank, as well as the occasional semi-submerged home. These are reminders not

only of its power, but also of the resilience of the local people, who still make a living in Merapi`s shadow.

With such an enormous selection of things to do, it is no wonder that Yogyakarta features on many travellers itinerary. With fantastic transport links all around java, and a well-connected airport, it truly is a place to visit and experience. This is reflected also in the choice on offer, from budget dorms that cater to backpackers, to finely decorated boutique hotels offering personal service. There is something for everyone who visits the heart and soul of Java, Yogyakarta.

Mesmerizing Indonesian Archipelago

Indonesia is a huge archipelago consisting of thousands of islands that stretch from the westernmost point of Sabang to the easternmost point of Merauke. From

Miangas island the northmost to Rote island the southmost, it spread to more than 17.508 islands with over 1 million km2 making Indonesia a massive sand box to explore. This huge archipelago is endowed with a beauty of diverse cultures and nature with distinctive flora and fauna.

There are eight major islands or island groups in this enormous chain. The largest landmasses consist of Sumatra, Java,

Kalimantan (Borneo), Sulawesi (Celebes) and Irian Jaya (the western half of Papua New Guinea). The smaller islands fall into two main groups: the Molluccas to the northeast, and the lesser Sunda chain east of Bali. Bali is a unique island, which for a number of reasons can be put into a class of its own.

The favourable condition have attracted a great number of visitors to Indonesia. Visiting Indonesia means seeing and experienceing the unique diverse cultural and astonishing natural beauties that this couWntry has to offer and explore.
