National Monument (Indonesia-part2)

Monument design

The towering monument encapsulates the philosophy of Lingga and Yoni. Lingga resembles an alu rice pestle and Yoni resembles a lesung rice mortar, two important traditional Indonesian tools. Lingga and Yoni also symbolize eternal life with the lingga phallic symbol, representing masculinity, positive elements, and daytime and the Yoni the female organs symbol, representing femininity, negative elements, and night. The monument consists of a 117.7m obelisk on a 45m square platform at a height of 17m, the goblet yard. The obelisk itself is clad with Italian marble.
The northern pond measuring 25×25 m was designed to cool water for the air conditioning system in the monument as well as to enhance the beauty of the surrounding area. To the north of the monument, there is a statue of Indonesia national hero Prince Diponegoro by Italian sculptor Cobertaldo. The entrance to the monument is located at the Medan Merdeka Utara or Northern Merdeka Park, through the

The monument and the museum is open daily from 08.00 - 15.00 Western Indonesia Time (UTC+7), everyday throughout the week, except for the last Monday of each month, when the monument is closed.
Background

A letter expressing Sukarno's wish for the construction of a "National Column" dated 29 July 1963
After the Indonesian government returned to Jakarta from Yogyakarta in 1950 following the Dutch recognition of Indonesian independence, President Sukarno began to contemplate the construction of a national monument comparable to the Eiffel Tower on the square in front of the Presidential Palace. On 17 August 1954, a National Monument Committee was established and a design competition was held in 1955. This attracted 51 entries, but only one design, by Frederich

--> Silaban, met any of the criteria determined by the committee, which included reflecting the character of Indonesia in a building capable of lasting for centuries. A repeat competition was held in 1960, but once again, none of the 136 entries met the criteria. The chairman of the jury team then asked Silaban to show his design to Sukarno. However, Sukarno did not like the design as he wanted the monument to be in the form of a linga and yoni. Silaban was asked to design such a monument, but his design was for a monument so large that it would have been unaffordable given the economic conditions at the time. Silaban refused to design a

Krakatoa (Indonesian: Krakatau) part 2

In February 1780, the crews of HMS Resolution and HMS Discovery, on the way home after Captain James Cook's death in Hawaiʻi, stopped for a few days on Krakatoa. They found two springs on the island, one fresh water and the other hot. They described the natives who then lived on the island as "friendly" and made several sketches. (In his journal, John Ledyard calls the island "Cocoterra".)

--> Dutch activityIn 1620 the Dutch set up a naval station on the islands and somewhat later a shipyard was built. Sometime in the late 17th century an attempt was made to establish a pepper plantation on Krakatoa but the islands were generally ignored by Dutch colonial authorities. In 1809 a penal colony was established at an unspecified location which was in operation for about a decade. By the 1880s the islands were without permanent inhabitants; the nearest settlement was the nearby island of Sebesi (about 12 km away) with a population of about

mendaki gunung kawi (part 3-habis)

Meski hujan dengan derasnya dan angin menyerang dengan kencangnya, akhirnya kami memutuskan untuk turun gunung. Dengan pertimbangan bahwa bekal kami sudah habis. Jika kami tetap bertahan maka kami akan kelaparan dan bukan tidak mungkin terjebak lapar di hutan sehingga kami mati kedinginan. Bergegas kami mem-packing semua perbekalan. Dan kami turun dengan kondisi agak tergesa karena keburu malam yang akan menyulitkan perjalanan karena banyaknya jurang. dalam perjalanan, saya berjalan dengan zazun yang membawa barangcukup berat sehingga kami pada posisi paling belakang. Kami turun gunung ditemani hujan yang cukup deras. Baru setelah melewati pos 4 kami baru bisa melihat awan putih dengan indahnya. Seperti ini gambarnya.


Sambil terus berjalan kami berdoa agar cuaca semakin cerah, namun kehendak alam tidak demikian. Hari semakin petang. Jam sudah menunjukkan lebih dari pukul 5 sore. Sementara saya, zazun dan fuad tertinggal jauh dari kawan-kawan yang entah sudah sampai mana. Kami bertiga terpisah dari tim. Hari semakin gelap. Senter tak ada, hanya senter dari korek api 2000 ribu-an yang kami punya. Cukup riskan untuk meneruskan perjalanan. Untungya kami menemukan pos 2 sehingga kami bisa membangun tenda di sana. Meski tanpa air. Kami mengandalkakan air hujan. Hanya itu yang bisa kami nikmati. Ada yang lucu di sini, setelah puas menenggak air separuh cangkir untuk bertiga. Kami melihat isi air, termyata isinya ada

mendaki gunung kawi (part 2)

Kami mencoba mendaki gunung kawi meski terkena cukup angker, toh kami punya pemandu yang cukup handal salah satu kawan ku. Zazun namanya. Kami packing dan persiapan di kampus berangkat dengan APV kampus di antar bapak Hery dosen kemahasiswaan kami. Kami berangkat pagi. Sampai di gerbang kawisari kami harus istirahat berjalan hingga perkebunan teh senggrong. Disanalah kami mempersiapkan segalanya sebelum melangkah memuncak. Kami berangkat cukup sore, sehingga memaksa kami untuk membangun tenda di pos 1. Selain gelap, hujan deras juga mengguyur kami sehingga memaksa malam itu kami berkemah. Pagi2 kami bergegas untuk melanjutkan perjalanan, namun hari keburu sore sehingga kembali lagi kami tak bisa mencapai puncak dan harus puas di pos ke 5. Selain hujan yang cukup deras, badai gunung juga mengahajar kami. Kami akan memuncak esok hari.

Pagi hari cuaca cukup tenang meski kabut tak dapat menghilang. Tenda kami biarkan tetap di pos 5, tim di bagi 2. Ada yang memuncak sambil mencari air, ada yang tunggu tenda. Karena saya belum pernah mencapai puncak, saya memilih untuk ikut ke puncak bersama beberapa kawan yang lain. Seperti halnya di pos 5, kabut tebal dan angin kencang namun dengan kualitas lebih besar menerpa kami. Dingin sekali di puncak kawi, sayang cuaca hari itu berkabut tebal sekali sehingga sulit untuk menikmati panorama gunung kawi. Seperti ini

Mistery of The Biggest Temple

Historical Records
Borobudur stands in the geographical center of the island of Java, fifteen miles from Yogyakarta, on a plateau that is the caldera of an ancient volcano ringed by the Menoreh mountains. Two sets of twin volcanoes – Merapi and Merbabu to the northeast, Sumbing and Sindoro to the northwest – stand sentinel across the plains. Merapi, the "fire mountain," is active.
A legend is told of a heavenly architect who built Borobudur in a single day and laid a curse on anyone who dared ascend his holy shrine. According to Asian art historian, Jan Fontein: "There is a mountain south of Borobudur that when viewed from the

Beautiful of Bromo

The most popular and well known of East Java's tourist attractions is undoubtedly Mt Bromo. The pre-dawn departure and trek across the mountain's famous 'sand sea', to watch the sunrise at the crater rim, has become something of a ritual, enacted daily by people of every nationality.
Bromo is actually just one crater in the vast, 800 km2 Tengger massif, which forms the largest of East Java's five main volcanic ranges. Although by no means the highest mountain in the region (2392m), it has gained its reputation partly because of its unique location and partly through the reverence shown to it by the local inhabitants. A legend connected with Mt Bromo tells of the
