Hotel Tentrem

Hotel Tentrem is one of many popular choice amongst the travelers for those who intent to visit Yogyakarta, and particularly to watch spectacular art performance at The Prambanan Temple. From traditional to the latest live musical performances.

While traditional art performance is regularly held not so on the Jazz live musical performance, it is exactly over a year ago we fly to Yogyakarta and stay at Hotel Tentrem  for Kenny G rare appearance here next to the exotic Prambanan Temple.

We recommend a decent culinary meal at Abhayagiri prior to the long awaiting event, apparently there is ample of time between dinner and show event starts off. As darkness completely falls it follows attractive laser and its supporting lighting extravaganzas. Unlike our favorite restaurant in Bandung Roemah Nenek, the Abhayagiri is conveniently located at a nearby foothill where the temple is.

You have got to be present there to appreciate the heighten nuance of exotic Prambanan Temple as the background. The contrasting digital as compare to stone era is perfectly melted, man made technology as well as cultural aspects blend to a delicious mouthwatering artistic craftsmanship. The local performer and finally Kenny G is the climax rarity, mystical illusion combines harmoniously to the melancholy rhythm of his Saxophone.   

This is not without any hitch though, it is marred by chaotic long line up which eventually leads to disappointing seat numbering allocation. We're told this is due to inexperienced event organization, nevertheless the spectacular performance is able to compensate for....It is a worthwhile exciting trip package to go.

In fact it is the perfect birthday gift ideas for our anniversary, not necessarily a surprise gift anymore than a long due romantic second honeymoon.

Turtle Sanctuary

Turtle Sanctuary

Turtle Sanctuary at Serangan Island is a popular tourist attracting island located just 250 meters off the South East coast of Bali, in fact it is conveniently very close to the famous Sanur beachfront.  It is evidently also a home to Sea Temple or locally known to Balinese as Pura Sakenan, a highly visited temple for the local religious people.

The Turtle Island as it is to many has been referring to, has various sizes of turtle which are kept in special pens, it is where the used to be endangered species is being protected. 

Kurma Asih, the 'turtle lovers' group has been conducting such noble conservation program activities, which supposedly aim to save newly born turtle nests from predators including poachers. The group has successfully achieved progress that during the 2008 nesting season brought a record of one hundred turtle nests - containing nearly 10,000 eggs - to safety in the Turtle Sanctuary’s hatchery.

Today especially during the season there is an opportunity for tourist alike to release a baby turtle on the sand and watch her flapping away, often with hesitate gesture and finally reach towards the sea for her maiden voyage. 

The conservation program was initiated by an International NGO in early 2000s, and by the time we were last visiting Bali in mid 2004, just a year after the infamous "Denpasar Tragedy Attack", there were some noticeable achievements being attained; not only dozens of turtles were saved but the Turtle Sanctuary were also able to provide some educative entertainments for our children.

We were flocking in a 52 seats Bus with not less than five toddlers in a special family trip. Read our family version story on Bali Vacation . It was indeed and still is the most favorite for us and the Kids as a family trip, a memorable family trip that these kids are still being talked about among themselves to these days. Except of course that for a nicely home cooking meal-like to have when you're away, it is hard to beat one of our favorable restaurant in Bandung, the Roemah Nenek.

Kurma Asih has no longer received the aids, yet it has sustained the conservation program on itself up to these days! The endangered species is now up a notch as a protected species, no longer under natural threat.

Mesa Stila

Mesa Stila sounds like a Latin name to some of us, yet strangely enough it is a Coffee plantation mixed with colonial style resort combination about half an hour drive from Semarang Central Java. Arm yourself with traveling Tips To Carry Along as we look at this exotic one of a kind Tourism Places. 

You'll be greeted by this ancient looking train station as you enter this magnificent place, it was indeed as such in early 19th century.  It is brought here intact and now being used as a reception foyer, and as you walk through whether you wish for a stay the night or spending the time for either a meal, a cup of coffee or Coffee plantation tour. 

As we opt for the latter we're directed toward the plantation itself.

Series of pictures will drive your thought upon the place, it is a must visit one of a kind Tourism Places.......

Tourism Places

Bali is the right place for abundant Tourism Places, but above all the magic attractions are indeed local culture; Traditional Dances, Religious Ceremony and many other Leisure Activities. Continuing the saga of Bali Vacation, as soon as we arrived at a small Cottage we found ourselves strolling down the busy Kuta Beach; where as the kids had found their amusements by swimming nearby.

Kids being kids despite of abundance Tourist Attractions their only interest is Kuta beach swimming. Half portion of our Bali holiday activities is mostly spent on the beach.

And likewise their food intake instead of local famous culinary dishes is none other than typical fast food menu. This is really subjected to debatable healthy habit, contrary to our typical Bandung’s Trip whereby we are always dropping by at Roemah Nenek or Sam’s at Dago St. to name a few.

Part of the reason is unstopping Grand Ma’s attentions but the real culprit is that by taking the 52 seater Bus the choice is at best very limited to the available parking space as well while the kids refusal to stop swimming for healthier dishes is entirely another hard case. Our choice is to save a bit of our energy for late evening window shopping while the kids able to recover theirs at the motel and hence getting fast food meal is indeed a viable solution as it is located within a handy short walking distance.

Eventually we manage to bring the kids to other Bali’s own attractive Tourism Places. The turtle sanctuary about half an hour boat from Sanur beach where children can interact with some endangered species in a well protected island habitat. 

Coconuts Beach Resort

Our common sense will tell that a Coconuts Beach Resort is located at or surrounding the tropical section of our beloved mother earth, right along the midsection of the earth at an area known as Equatorial band. The Indonesian archipelago is privileged to be resided at such Equatorial band, whenever we go within the archipelago along its coast, there bounds to be a vast amount of Coconuts Beach.

Our Coconut plantation and mostly its pristine Beach area is quite inseparable, we could literary drink Coconut milk on our Beach everyday, and not necessarily during our Leisure time only,  the envy of those who is living along either the Northern or Southern sphere. Every bit of Coconut tree section is not wasted as each has its own advantageous usages. In fact following the strict production standard practice the milk  or rather its liquid content could be processed into a healthy frying oil with min. traces of anti oxidant, furthermore in its purest molecular existent the famous Virgin Coconuts Oil is regarded by many to have healthy herbal healing effects.

 While this has becoming a common knowledge it is also not a strange occurances for a Coconuts Beach Resort to also stimulate the so called healthy healing effects, particularly on heavy stress active executives. Everyone in this globe knows this relevancy to the Bali Island, the island is more popular than the country it resides, the archipelago of Indonesia.

Any top celebrity regardless Bollywood or Holiwood alike has visited the island, and that's including our family, as any tourist alike in the Bali is instantaneously become one. 

We all become famous as those innovative traders will keep chasing us to buy their merchandise, whether the merchandise is an authentic Balinese craft or ornaments or perhaps a fake Chinese made product, and that's why some exclussive resort provides extra security measures to seclude the area from this.

There are now great tendency for foreigner but to some extent the local too, to prefer going to other remote areas where the Coconuts Beach Resort could provide its natural surrounding without the said hassles. One place as such which just recently arise in its popularity amongst the foreigner is Raja Ampat Resort,  its pristine Coconut Beach is just one of the endless attraction lists.

Three out of four such secluded Resort are located at the Eastern part of the archipelago, this is quite a change from our normal diet article of Sam’s at Dago St. the typical family time at leisure in Bandung

Indonesia Trips, North Sulawesi

Principally Indonesia Trips may represent opportunity overlooking huge tourism objects covering vast Indonesian territorial. Tourism trip over the Indonesian five main islands could perhaps require a dozen volumes of manual handbook where as most available trip guidance cover mostly on both Java and Bali islands.

The remaining islands have had less exposure despite of their inherent outstanding natural’s beauty. Hence it is a privilege indeed that in the near future the Leisure Activities readers will have an opportunity to get a glimpse of those hidden and untapped beauty of Indonesia Trips.

The picturesque scene capture the natural beauty of along the northern shoreline of North Bolaang Mongondow Regency conveniently located adjacent to the main Trans Sulawesi Road. Our explorist 600 Magellan GPS registers this “waypoint” to be 183Km down the South from the North Sulawesi Province’s capital of Menado which is approximately almost 3 hours flight from Jakarta.

The newly established regency has its main income mostly from Coconut agriculture as well as deep sea fishing easily reachable within 20 minutes boating from the shoreline. The locals has been boasting that an investment on a small wooden fishing boat known as “Katingting” could be repaid in full for a mere 2 fishing trips during the peak season.

However our Indonesia Trips over this region is solely on neither sea fishing nor agriculture’s viability study alone, but also to look for those untapped tourism activities as well. The untapped beauty of a small region located at Eastern part of the vast Indonesian Archipelago.

As promised earlier the Leisure Activities would not limit itself to merely covering Bandung Trips alone, but could extend to other part of Indonesian Archipelago. Indonesia Trips to North Sulawesi would be one excellent destination as well as other region such as the South Kalimantan and in particular the well known Bali. For now the Cikampek Cipularang toll road may temporarily disappear being replaced by Trans Sulawesi main road.

Bali Vacation

Exactly six years ago we decided to make a special kind of Family Quality time for a packaged Bali Vacation tour; the eldest being our Grandma where as the youngest was our then 3 years old nephew. We could go by plane straight to Denpasar or train to Surabaya and continue the trip by Java-Bali Ferry, but we did not. Instead we opted to rent a 52 seats Bus for the whole family, and since we were much less than the capacity we ordered two rows of seats on each side in the middle to be removed.

The extra space gained was being used for all Grandkids and their cousins as a play ground with double function for sleeping zone. There were five toddlers, one kid, one teenage and nine adults accompanied by two bus drivers and one crew. Taking a toddler could in itself bring a truck load of amenities for the five days Bali Vacation trip, but that was the reason for taking the bus instead.

Furthermore we could save time and energy by not carrying our baggage from one port to another. Our logistics stayed in the bus the whole time. It seems like a good idea does it?

Unlike our recent Post Exam Trip, it was an excellent one in a life time Bali Trip experience to the whole family indeed. It was our third trip to Bali but during the first two being only five members of family as we were not married yet back then. The fourth trip if we take into account the fact that I and my wife spent our honey moon there with those memorable two nights at the famous Amandari Resort in Ubud.

The late Lady Diana was once spotted staying at this lush greenery and serene Amandari Resort. Yes, it was expensive but not for our honey moon. Bali Vacation continues….next!

Bandung Travel

Technorati Tags: Bandung Travel.Paris Van Java,Bandung

Bandung Travel may not sound exotic at all, but it has its own element of charm to satisfy the whole family quality time. Bandung has it all; even to meet three generations of family requirements into a single trip purpose. Furthermore there are plenty of choices for those looking for educative aspect into their family trips, one good example would be Leisure Activities version of post-exam trip.

Our quality time version on Bandung Travel may also depict; Ciwidey Volcano Trip and its All Terrain Vehicles (ATV) facility, Bosscha Leisure, The Little Farm and many more. Both Ciwidey and Bosscha represent historical portion of Bandung. White Crater, Ciwidey at the turn of 20^th century was a Sulphuric Acid factory and thus the oldest one in Indonesia perhaps in Asia. Where as Bosscha is also the oldest within most Southern Hemisphere Observatory in similar period.

While ATV at Ciwidey speaks for itself, the Little Farm offers a glimpse of farm learning activities for children education purposes. The children could learn how to grow and harvest a few vegetable species. And by the end of farming activities their unleashed energy could be released into outdoor action type of activities such as Jumping Fox.

To some, Bandung’s attraction may also represent itself through its Heritage Buildings. There are certain areas which still preserve the era of 1960s for example. The recent film making of Barack Obama when he was attending a primary school in Menteng, Jakarta; it is in fact being conducted around Lapangan Supratman St. as well as Cimahi for outdoor and indoor shooting backgrounds.

It is due to such preserved Heritage that today we could think of Bandung as it was named the Paris Van Java. By the same token the name is also used for an open space mall. Paris Van Java Mall attracts Bandung’s visitors and the place is full packed of crowd on every week-end. Though the mall has “One Stop Shopping” including restaurant mostly fast food retails but the famous city’s Culinary Cooking are available elsewhere scattering the whole region.

Borneo Travel for Diamond

Is it due to its Orangutan or rather for a Diamond quest that most of us make a trip? Borneo is indeed famous for the Orangutan population, but this time around it is the Borneo Travel for Diamond. The truth is this travel is beyond a typical family kind of trip. Contrary to our past post-exam trip, it is more like a business trip.

The value of diamond is mostly dependent on the skill and level of craftsmanship of cutting process. It is a fact that the best resources of raw diamond and skillful cutting craftsmanship are indeed in Southern Africa and Belgium respectively, where as the famous brand known for diamond product is none other than “De Beers”

When we did make the Borneo Travel for Diamond that is the Southern part of Kalimantan to the capital Banjarmasin, it is a great opportunity to drop by at our famous Martapura Diamond center. Martapura is located within an hour drive from Syamsudin Noor Airport. The Diamond industry has been part of the town since the Dutch era over a century ago, even some cutting machineries from the period are still being used as of today.

The record on top diamond carats has just recently being broken here at 200 carats costing into well over Rp. 20 billion worth. Or so it is claimed by the friendly vendor when we are personally tour guided through out his facility, the facility of which is inherited by a private Dutch-Indies firm. The facilities is now managed and run by a cooperatives partially owned or perhaps also funded by a local state Bank.

A rough cut diamond is undergone cutting process.

When the cut is done the ready made diamond is then displayed. A potential buyer is carefully look at the way diamond could reflect or pass through a particular light source, for those who understand as such a clear natural occurrences as well as good cutting craftsmanship will command higher price.

A diamond gift from Martapura is indeed an excellent present to our beloved one not to mention a good investment as well, provided it is selected as careful to be the best pick.

Bandung Holyday Inn

Thrashing in at Bandung Holyday Inn for the coming New Year’s Eve Vacation will definitely enhance your trip, particularly for the thrilling shopping experiences at the surrounding Dago St...Like many retailers around the Globe shoppers will be lured with the deepest and attractive discount end of the year sales.

If you insist on knowing what sort of shopping paradise the Dago has, perhaps the link could enlighten your shopping’s quest. And this outlet lists is suggested by a dedicated shopper from the neighbouring country.

This 150 rooms modern Hotel is located amidst those attractive Factory Outlets, though it is not the only Hotel along Dago St, it offers great convenient access to some interesting places. But most definitely the Hotel’s strategic location has met my best guidance toward the Tips to Avoid Stand Still Traffic Jams along the busy and crowded Dago’s shopping paradise.

The street is one of the busiest with traffic jams along the whole of its length during every weekend night and in particular on long public holiday. As such that taking a stroll along instead of driving is the best way to explore considering its interesting night life vividly “bling-bling” activities.

The Dago area in my recollection is one of the best district shall we say offering classy complete attraction places with Jalan Riau Bandung as the second best. Furthermore getting closer to the down town at lower part is as busy as interesting as well as driving up North, though the Northern part as nicknamed the upper Dago provides a number of Look Out Points.

Along this upper section as the name indicates higher elevation is predominantly consisted of mid to higher class restaurants, with the remaining locations are popular amongst the younger generation for a bit of "Hanky panky". Whichever places interest you at the end of the day as your muscles are aching the Hotel also offers one of the best there is of Bandung Spa Treatment.

Bandung Spa

It is virtually impossible to avoid some trip hurdles during this December peak season. Unless you have made an advanced booking on any of Hotel at Bandung already, the chance of getting your favourite room is pretty much slim!

Likewise it would be similarly “Mission Impossible” to drive from Jakarta without suffering any traffic hold up despite the best of any kind of Tips to Avoid Stand Still Traffic Jams along Cipularang-Purbaleunyi Toll road. Just get along at the available pace and have enough rest, otherwise you might as well book early for a luxurious Bandung Spa treatment prior to any intensive shopping activities.

Typically you could choose the oil and also the scrub that you wish to use, the treatment begins by dipping your feet into a huge "bowls" filled with warm water and salt. As the attendant completely washes your feet we then are escorted to another room that may consist of 2 adjacent beds or more for a thorough massage.

Each spa house has its own unique theme as well as cosy enough with soothing atmosphere to make us feel as though we were somewhere else on the ninth cloud. The body massage covers both from the back and the front - when we are lying down on our backs, they will put some cover on our eyes to get even more relaxing enhancement.

The cloud ninth experience should by now bring a forceful drowsiness and this sleepy feeling will be further heightened by entire bodies scrubbing as well as a very relaxing face massage. The treatment is finalized by new awareness of smoother skin and relaxed muscles where as enhanced inner feeling will be assisted by normally hot shower accompanied by a small cup of hot ginger or mint lavender tea afterward.

Santika Bandung

Following the previous article on Jalan Riau Bandung the Hotel Santika Bandung is an excellent choice for modern 3 stars accommodation within the famous shopping district. It is located next to a high class Yogya Department Store and just few hundreds meter to the Dago, Merdeka and Riau Streets cross section.

As mentioned in the previous article as well on the issue of handling the Group travelling hurdle; staying at this Hotel did solve our travelling hindrances. A few years back we travelled to Bandung in not less than 5 families group on 4 separate vehicles, there were 2 families with toddlers. The Hotel’s swimming pool facility helped to fulfil our toddler needs, though it was not heated and being tiny, it was sufficient to distract them from gaming gadgetry.

The rest of the group was essentially divided into two main distinct sub groups with different shopping targets, one to find bargain toddler clothing where as the other one for adult clothing and accessories. Then it was further divided into fancy, branded or just plain ordinary merchandise. Accordingly the group simply dispersed and subsequently disappeared into the nearby corresponding Factory Outlets.

Furthermore we could just walk to those outlets on Riau, Dago or Merdeka Street in a convenient manner. And when the kids got enough of swimming in cold, we then brought them to the Cisangkuy Street in less than 5 minutes drive away for Horse Riding; it was actually very close to the former Dutch Indies government office the Gedung Sate.

Incidentally when you Travel to Bandung Inroad via Cipularang Toll road and exits through Pasteur gate you would end up from the fly over bridge at the Northern side of the Gedung Sate. Though be aware that driving during the peak season would take in multiple of 5 minutes duration, perhaps up to four times more!

Hotel at Bandung

Bandung has again been chosen to host an International convention; the Asian Parliamentary Assembly started last Monday which will last until December 10th to cover three important agenda on market integration, poverty, and corruption. Consequently for safety measures the local police have prepared 2,500 personnel to secure the fourth plenary session of the Forum to anticipate huge protests on the International Anti-corruption Day that coincides with convention today.

Some traffic piling were hampering Bandoeng’s inner part as the Police completely sealed off a number of surrounding streets including the heritage street; Asia Africa, in order to secure opening ceremonial by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.

No doubt that most Hotel at Bandung is sold out. Despite of the resort city convention function ever since the 1955 Asian African Non Alignment conference and even since the Dutch Indies City Planning inception in 1920s, the city has been as vibrant and eager to entertain for almost a century, it is always busy and tightly packed on every event occasion.

Though the infrastructure is a tad inadequate during the peak season opting for Travel to Bandung Inroad via Cipularang toll road from the capital Jakarta would seem to be a viable yet convenient choice. There is a glimpse of unique local lifestyle on parade along the toll road being shown more than other transport option such as by either train or airplane. Yet your Bandung trip would be complete if returning to Jakarta through the scenery Puncak Pass, provided that you are willing to spend twice the journey time length.

Just sit back, relax and enjoy your Bandung Trip, while Yudhoyono’s opening speech lingers on;

"The different Asia is a region with full of partnership network and tolerance, peaceful and prosper region and a territory that becomes the world's growth hub,"

"Currently, we are in a time that is full of momentum and opportunities. The world in 21st century will be very different with 20th one,"

"In the transforming world, Asia will be 'more relevant' with its role increases further,"

"We are part of the solution of various problems that are complex and related each other locally, nationally, regionally and globally,"

Chevrolet Suburban

A Chevrolet Suburban in a travel site? For decades long Bandoeng Trip were relying on either motor car or railways, both type of transportation were available to go to or from Bandoeng from the turn of century. Only recently the comfortable means of transportation have been provided by Train, plane and modern motor car. But early in 1970s whenever our Grand Ma paid a visit to us in Jakarta she used the “4848” shuttle nicknamed Suburban.

The Suburban cab featured a "wrap around" windshield following the styling of the 1960 - 1961 model year resembling earlier Chevrolet cars and had large oval ports above the grille. Later on from 1962 onwards, the hood styling was 'toned down' a bit, with a slightly more modern looking hood that eliminated the large ports. Subsequently in 1964, the front glass area was updated to a flatter windshield, and larger door glass. All early models featured either tailgate or "barn door" rear openings.

This model series introduced a factory-equipped 4WD ("K") option for the first time. The 2WD "C" models introduced a torsion bar-based independent front suspension and trailing arm and coil spring rear. But by 1963, returned to a more conventional coil-spring approach. Once or twice we did go visiting GrandMa on this large comfortable Suburban which I am sure were powered by I-6 (inline six cylinders) engine, later on the 4848 replaced the whole fleet with another GM vehicle the Holden HQ Kingswood from its Australian arm.

Today we have a bewildering shuttle brand including executive bus shuttle, executive business class train as well as the well known “Cipaganti” shuttle using Korean Hyundai or Kia Pregio or similar small bus. They extensively use toll road and have many stop over facilities along and in particular my favourite Cipularang Rest Area Km 57. Last year this Rest Area won the best award!

Hot Spring Ciater

Ciater is one of many Bandoeng’s natural Hot Spring, not only it is one of long established and integrated resort compound complex but also better equipped close to international standard with many decent amenities if not superior than others. It was the last location that our kids enjoy immensely during the last school holiday.

If the time permits make schedule for Hot Spring Ciater a bit late in the afternoon. There is an opportunity for some sight seeing just prior the dark night falls and a good hot spring dip after the dark, the cool breeze air in combination with warm or hot dip bath is quite sensational. In fact our late auntie who had been resided in Holland for decades used to love the place and visit very late night well into 10 o’clock pm.

We’re just finished strolling within the biggest observatory in Southern Hemisphere the Bosscha by 5 pm and subsequently continued the trip to Ciater, we arrived there just as the dark set in. There are many pools available but instead we choose to stretch our leg and dip part of them in smaller one, it is not as crowded and we only interest in dipping ourselves not to swim. Incidentally the swimming pool cost a bit in addition to the entry fee, but it is very affordable and worthwhile to go.

The boys who had been reluctant to be photographed earlier in Bosscha is now appear eager and enthusiastic to immediately throw away their clothing and jump to the small but naturally built pool with slightly amber lighting. Later on we move to the nearby hot spring waterfall and experience a bit of massage simulation.

There are two alternative ways to get to Ciater Hot Spring; one through the Bandoeng city itself where you could stop by on the way to Bosscha Observatory, Lembang Traditional Market as well as the Tangkuban Perahu crater. Or else through the Cipularang Toll road and exit at either Cikampek or and the one that head straight to Subang. Make yourself fresh and fully alert by also stopping by at any rest area there, though it is advisable to stop at Cipularang Rest Area Km 57 or Km 43 or Km 19.

Bosscha Leisure

The last day of our kids school holiday would be the trip for Bosscha Leisure. An old Dutch Indies Heritage of Observatory, built in late 1920s by the then famous tea planter tycoon Karel Albert Rudolf Bosscha who also happened to be one of great philanthropist of the era perhaps might had been close to that of Bill Gates of today. Read more on him at; Frontrunner Science Research #3; Bosscha Observatory, where we could learn a bit history of him and the heyday of our tea plantation at its height of tea commodity pricing due to its unsurpassed Malabar Tea quality as well as the background story on the observatory itself.

The Bosscha Observatory as we have known today was not as effective as it used to be, when the facility was built the nearest population was outside of the ideal 30 km radius perimeter from the facility. It was preserved to be as such until late 1970s prior to the real estate property development booming.

The facility today is fully dedicated for academic purposes and consequently getting inside to look at the huge telescope could only be done under well advanced appointment in group of 30 visitors per admittance. Nevertheless the kids could learn something from the onset of science in early century and admire the physical observatory with surrounding beautiful landscape as well as some photographic session.

There are two alternative ways to get to Bosscha Observatory; one through the Bandoeng city itself where you could stop by on the way to do a bit of shopping and culinary tasting. Or else through the Ci[pularang Toll road and exit at either Cikampek or and the one that head straight to Subang. Make yourself fresh and fully alert by also stopping by at any rest area there, though it is advisable to stop at Cipularang Rest Area Km 57 or Km 43 or Km 19.

Insofar we have managed to bring the kids to enjoyable as well as educative trip as well some interesting leather bag shopping for the Mom of course and not last but least the tasty and freshness of Bandoeng’s own culinary dishes.
