Pictures of Bukittinggi, West Sumatra
2008-03-11 22:25:00 The Hills Hotel (previously Novotel Hotel) is a great hotel. The building itself located not far from Jam Gadang (the symbol of City of Bukittinggi, remember the Big Ben in London...?), maybe it's only 5 minutes walk. Also you can see Ngarai Sianok from your back window at your hotel room (no Air Conditioner...?).I'm sure you can see the uniqueness of this clock tower, different from any kind of clock that we used to see. See something different...?I went to Jambi and West Sumatra not for fun but for work therefore we didn't have much time to explore the whole city. But then, we still had a chance to took pictures in Jam Gadang area. Most of the time, I was the photographer (puke mode: on).First, here's some pictures of The Hills Hotel.Then, here's some pictures of Jam Gadang at night, including one picture that taken from KFC.

Tourism spots in Kabupaten Tanah Datar, West Sumatra
2008-03-06 19:53:00 Tourism in West Sumatra is not only Singkarak Lake, City of Sawahlunto and City of Bukittinggi. In Kabupaten Tanah Datar you can find more tourism spots including Istano Pagarayung, Lembah Anai and Tabek Patah. Ready to explore...?1. Istano Pagaruyung (Pagaruyung Grand Palace)Located in Nagari Pagaruyung Kecamatan Tanjung Emas. Pagaruyung is also the Center of Government Affairs of Kabupaten Tanah Datar. Five km driving from Batusangkar City Center. This tourism spot is the main tourism objective in Kabupaten Tanah Datar. The Pagaruyung Grand Palace was built in 1976 as a duplicate of the palace of Rajo Alam which was burned down by the Dutch Colony in 1804. This big traditional Palace has 11 horns (Gonjong), 72 piles and 3 floors, surrounded by Surau (small mosque), Tabuah (drum) and Rangkiang Patah Sembilan (the Rice Barn). The palace itself is full of various kinds of wood carvings. The shape and color represent the philosophy, history and culture of Minangkabau people.*On Februa...
Destruction of Sumatra forests Driving Global Climate Change and Species Ex
2008-02-27 23:01:00 Turning just one Sumatran province's forests and peat swamps into pulpwood and palm oil plantations is generating more annual greenhouse gas emissions than the Netherlands and rapidly driving the province's elephants into extinction, a new study by WWF and partners has found.The study found that in central Sumatra's Riau Province nearly 10.5 million acres of tropical forests and peat swamp have been cleared in the last 25 years. Forest loss and degradation and peat decomposition and fires are behind average annual carbon emissions equivalent to 122 percent of the Netherlands total annual emissions, 58 percent of Australia's annual emissions, 39 percent of annual UK emissions and 26 percent of annual German emissions.Riau was chosen for the study because it is home to vast peatlands estimated to hold Southeast Asia?s largest store of carbon, and contains some of the most critical habitat for Sumatran elephants and tigers. It also has Indonesia's highest deforestation rate, subst...
Sawahlunto, The Mining City in West Sumatra
2008-02-27 18:59:00 One of the city in West Sumatra that got my attention is Sawahlunto. Sawahlunto is only 4 hours drive from Padang, the Capital City of West Sumatra. And before Sawahlunto you will pass Solok City, another city.Why Sawahlunto City got my attention...? To enter this city, you have to drive through the hills. Once you pass the hills, you will see a beautiful scenery, a gorgeous view of Sawahlunto the city. You can see, in seconds, almost the whole area of the city on your bird eye view.Another reason is, in my opinion, Sawahlunto is almost similar to Bandung (my beloved hometown). Bandung is relatively a small town, surrounded by hills in every direction. It's a basin, used to be a lake. Sawahlunto also a small town that surrounded by hills. Maybe it's Bandung in a smaller scale with a similar weather, it's relatively cold since it's located in a high area.Sawahlunto is a mining city since 1892 (why I remember 1892 as the year of Liverpool FC...? hehehe...). It's famous by the coa...

2008-02-18 17:26:00 After exploring Jambi (actually I went to Jambi not for fun, I went there to work :)), I also try to know how beautiful West Sumatra is (again, it was not for fun :)). I brought my mind, body and soul to Sawahlunto City, Solok City, Singkarak Lake, Padang Pajang City, Bukittinggi City, Batusangkar City and Padang City (the Capital City of West Sumatra). It's all beautiful indeed.Now, I want to share my stories of my trips to these gorgeous places:1. Singkarak Lake; 2. Sawahlunto City; and 3. Bukittinggi City, let's start with Singkarak Lake.Singkarak Lake ("Danau Singkarak" in Bahasa) is a wrench driven-pull-apart basin lake according to the explanation from one of the master in Geology of Indonesia. It's a product of Sumatra Fault at Neogene-Recent age.In term of travel & tourism, Singkarak Lake is one of "a must visited place" if you're in West Sumatra Province.

Trade in tiger parts unrelenting in Sumatra
2008-02-13 09:18:00 Tiger body parts, including canine teeth, claws, skin and whiskers, are believed to bring good luck to those who wear them and to give protection from black magic. The bones of the right front paw are sometimes "infused" in a glass of warm water, which is then drunk to treat headaches.With fewer than 500 individuals left in the wild, the Sumatran tiger is classed as critically endangered by the World Conservation Union. To help protect it, Traffic ran a first survey of shops between 1999 and 2002. The names and addresses of the outlets selling tiger parts at the time were handed over to Indonesian authorities."If Indonesian authorities need enforcement help from the international community they should ask for it. If not, they should demonstrate they are taking enforcement seriously," says Heather Sohl of WWF.Related: Indonesia failing to halt tiger decline: conservat...Indonesia News Blog: http://indosnesos.blogspot.com-

Elephants outsmarting human pursuers on Sumatra
2008-01-07 13:56:00 A HERD of wild elephants on Indonesia's Sumatra has repeatedly outsmarted efforts to stop them stealing crops, wising up to attempts to chase them off with burning torches, a report said on Monday. The head of Way Kambas natural reserve in Lampung province, Hudiono, told the state-run Antara news agency that a herd of 25 to 30 elephants had been nightly roaming out of the reserve to raid crops since Thursday. The elephants, previously only occasional visitors, have managed to clamber over earthen embankments built as an obstacle between the reserve and the fields by using their trunks to hold onto each other, he reportedly said. An electrified wire fence was also no match for the canny beasts, he told the agency, saying they had felled it using tree trunks. Even blazing torches no longer scare the night-time raiders.

A Recipe of Cumi Panggang Pacak / Northern Sumatran Grilled Squids
2007-11-19 08:42:00 When we were at Young, the oriental market on Mc. Phillips, to buy some stuffs for our house warming party, I saw pineapple cut squids in plastic bags in their freezers. Grabbed two bags of them, and thought I would make a cumi teutumeh, since I have asam sunti and frozen bilimbi (Indonesian belimbing sayur/wuluh) as well. Right after I put the frozen pineapple cut squids in the fridge to thaw, I changed my mind.Being inspired by the original recipe of Ikan Panggang Pacak which uses fish that my family used to make at home, I made Cumi Panggang Pacak literally translated as the Northern Sumatran Bbq Squids.Ingredients:800 g frozen pineapple cut squids, thawed1 lime1 lemongrass, cut into a half and bruise10 tbsp unsweetened desiccated coconut, you can add more (original recipe uses grated coconut of 1 coconut)30 gr coconut cream powder150 ml waterGrind into a paste8 shallots3 cloves garlic3 toasted candlenutscombination fresh red chilies and bird eye's chilies as many as you want (I...

Save The Sumatran Rhinos
2007-08-19 07:49:00 Our team would like to share with you about a very special group of animals that currently is in need of protection from harm. They are the Sumatran rhinos.The Sumatran rhinos are one out of five species of rhinos that still exist in the animal kingdom. Sadly, the population has been gradually diminishing since a few decades ago because of deforestation.To date, there are only less than 300 of them that are still surviving in the outskirts of Malaysia and Indonesia. They are now deemed as Malaysia’s most endangered species of animals, and the world’s most endangered species of rhinos.In view of the danger that has been lurking behind the Sumatran rhinos for too long, Honda and WWF-Malaysia have collaborated to kick off a five-year project called ‘Rhino Rescue Project’, where funds will be raised to provide the rhinos with as much protection as possible.
