The Holy Bromo Mountain East Java






Mount Bromo (from the language of Sansekerta/Java Kuna: Brahma, one of the main gods Hindu), was the volcano that still was active and most was known as the tourist attraction in East Java. As a tourist attraction, Mount Bromo became interesting because of his status as the volcano that still was active.
Bromo had the height 2.392 metre above sea level that was in four territories, namely the Probolinggo Regency, Pasuruan, Lumajang, and the Malang Regency. The form of the Mount Bromo body was related between the valley and the gorge and the caldera or the sand ocean measuring around 10 square kilometre. Mount Bromo had a crater with the diameter ± 800 metre (north-south) and ± 600 metre (east-west). Whereas the area of his danger of taking the form of the circle with fingers 4 km from the centre of the Bromo crater. For the 20th age, the mountain that was known as the tourist attraction exploded totalling three times, with the interval of time that was arranged, that is 30 years. The biggest eruption happened 1974, whereas the last eruption happened in 2004.
The trip through the west door from the side of pasuruan that is entering from the Tosari village to head towards the centre of the tourist attraction (the sand ocean) was considered to be heavy because the area that must be followed could not be passed through by the wheel vehicle 4 normally this was caused the descendants's road from penanjakan to the side of the sand ocean really steep, except for we leased the jeep that was provided by the tour manager, so tourists many that walked to head towards the centre of the location. However if we through the north door from the side of before entering probolinggo that is to the Tongas area, we will head the village cemoro the gate before descending towards the sand ocean then not too heavy was caused by the descendants from his slope not too steep so as the motorcycle could then go through him. Most of the tourists who wanted to find it easy to reach the sand ocean beyond this route. However when you want to witnessed sunrise that often was put forward in the photograph - the photograph, that often was photographed from the peak penanjakan then you were more practical beyond the west door route.
However when you had the spirit of the wanderer then you could try the rare trip route was passed through by tourists. That is going through your Malang city entered through the small city tumpang afterwards entered the city pronojiwo then will go through the very beautiful nature reserve from here you will encounter the road three-way intersection where to the side of south will enter ranu pane (to the side of the mountain a pagoda) and to the side of north you entered the sand ocean bromo that was on the Mount Bromo back next south. This three-way intersection was named Jemplang. The trip was preceeded with menuruni the hill that afterwards was welcomed with the long meadow kelamaan changed to the sand ocean. This road will orbit Mount Bromo beyond the sand ocean for approximately 3 hours. This route in fact was not too steep and could be passed through by the motorcycle, but needed the spirit of the wanderer because his route that was still rare was passed and was not any the stopover and the inhabitants's house.
We will be true- true was served with the very defiant trip. However you will be rewarded confidentially Bromo that was other, that was very rare was seen by tourists, that is Padang ruput savannah and the very wide flower was overturned Mount Bromo. Truly scenery that berkebalikan to the Utaranya side that was dry and dusty. However must be remembered, better should not go through this route tonight and or in the hazy weather. The route will not be seen in kondidi like this. The sand ocean was the tour mainstay from Mount Bromo, in the wild cool mountains, we could see the desert and the wide field. Whereas that most was expected from Mount Bromo to be sightview when the sun rose and set because indeed will look very clear and very beautiful. Although the trip to Bromo very dusty, but not was felt, because of beauty that was served really extraordinary.
Went on holiday headed bromo could be considered to be practical when you liked the type traveller and went through the north door route. You could carry out the visit in a period of 12 hours then. Definitely when you began him from the Surabaya city, Malang, Jember and surrounding area. The trip could be begun from 12 o'clock in the evening so as you would to around struck 2 - 3 days. Where you could rest beforehand before saw sunrise. The seller of food and the drink in the area of the sand ocean usually is opened around struck 3 days, so as you could have gotten ready - was ready to carry out the climb through the peak step bromo that was famous that. Enjoy scenery up until 9 o'clock during the day and you could then come back arrived in your departure city around 12 afternoon. As the note, if you carried out the trip diareal the sand ocean in the middle of night darkness, as the standard headed the area parked around your Temple could see the marker from the deliberate concrete was given as penunjuk headed the area of the temple, and if you were lost should not panic and continue the trip (moreover in the middle of the thick fog), was waiting because usually from 2 o'clock - 3 days of several rented horsemen passed by area of the sand ocean.
for the inhabitants Bromo, the Tengger ethnic group, of Gunung Brahma (Bromo) was believed as the holy mountain. A year very much the Tengger community held the Yadnya Kasada ceremony or Kasodo. This ceremony took place in a temple that was below foot Mount Bromo north and was continued to the Mount Bromo peak. The ceremony was held at midnight till dawn every month the full moon around the date 14 or 15 in the Kasodo month (the ten) according to the Javanese calendar.

Beautiful Malaysia beach






Singapore was everything I was expecting it to be. Big, modern, clean, efficient, and expensive (although not as bad as Hong Kong). I've read many people describe it as a little soul-less. Maybe if you live there for a few years the size of the place may feel restricting, but for a few days it was perfect. It was particularly nice for me to have access to all the modern conveniences I don't have in Guangzhou, and not to be constantly viewed as a 'gui lo' (a somewhat derogatory term for foreigner).
As to Malaysia, well, it's a much bigger country with a far wider array of cultures and geography than I could possibly fit into a short stay and a few paragraphs. The mix of cultures is really amazing, with people speaking countless languages, practising many religions, eating all manner of different (and very tasty) foods, and all living in a fair resemblance of harmony. The people actually smile and talk to each, and I never once felt like a tourist. Super stuff.
Just the sight of a long, soft, sandy beach fringed by clear azure water and lit up brilliantly by the tropical sun is enough to put many people’s minds at ease with a heavy sense of peace. Malaysia beaches act as such catalysts catapulting thoughts of home and work far into the distance. Things to do appeal to many kinds of people who enjoy doing absolutely nothing to enjoying many water sports and beach activities.
The Perhentian Island are two islands off the Northeast coast of Malaysia being very picturesque The Perhentian's are seeing allot of growth with TOURISM being the only industry. There are some 26 different PADI Dive Centers and dive shops located here with hundreds of snorkel visiting the islands. The more popular of the Perhentian Island is the small island called Perhentian Kecil where you will find Long Beach which has allot of different cheap budget and discount accommodation from beach bungalows to discount luxury.
