Crane Robot Show

Sentosa Island, Singapore I had to walk to the highest point of a mall to get to a station that would take me to Sentosa island. Stood in a line for quite while, staffed my self in the sky train, it was very crowded since this island is one of the most famous places in Singapore.   I was trying to keep my balance, held the metal holder tightly while my eyes looking through the window, admired the sophisticated view outside. Some buildings were aesthetically designed.   Some of them remind me of Gaudi’s works. A few steps from me Ai Lin was standing steadily on her feet without any holder. She is always balance. A few stops passed, we get off in the Imbiah Station. So many things can be enjoyed in this island even you don’t need to be worried if you have very tight budget. This island offers some free things such as beaches, live music, colored water show, big Merlion, Museum, Casino and Crane Dance. In Singapore, tourist doesn’t need to pay any entrance fee if ...

Dusun Gerupuk, Kuta, Pujud, Lombok Tengah I was sitting in a car, looking through the window, next to two girls.

On the blue sea, floating kerambas that made from bamboo spread out under the blue sunny sky looked like a bamboo raft.  As I read in some travel magazines, Gerupuk is well known as the surfing site. It has about five surfing points. Many people come from around the world to enjoy the challenging wave on this bay. Around the beach, there is a surf camp that offers surfing course. However, my friends and I didn’t come here for surfing.   A moment after Adith parked the car on the surf camp yard, I eagerly unlocked the door. We walked to the beach and headed to the east to find an appropriate site to plant mangrove as it’s suggested by the head of the village. Along the beach, some rocky cliffs stood firmly as if they offer their shadow to s...

Elephant Cave “Goa Gajah”

Image
Blahbatuh, Gianyar, Bali I left two friends of mine in the car and took their cameras with me. I pitied them because they couldn’t see what I would see in the Elephant Cave—the cave of God where Ganesha statue lies.  Before entering this temple, I had to have my ticket entrance and I had to wrap my under body with sarong. It took me awhile to do this because it was pretty long sarong for a little girl like me. The temple staff had no any smaller size. However, my will to see the cave put me to make more effort to deal with that long sarong. As I finished, I eagerly walked down on the small shady path among the trees. Along the path I could see the main area of the temple where the elephant cave is.  In this main area, there are four main buildings were seen. Those are the remaining stones which were neatly arranged in some rows. In front of these stones, the 7 holly fountains that are attached on the wall beautifully stand. It is called The Sapta Gang...
