Sisingaan, the traditional dance from Subang-West Java
2008-03-31 19:21:00
One of the tourism attraction from West Java that I really love is Sisingaan. Sisingaan or "fake lion" is the unique traditional performance from Subang, West Java (about 75km from Bandung, the capital city of West Java to the north).This performance used to be a story, a symbolization of the Indonesian people power when Dutch invasion in 1940's. It's a dance with traditional music, eight people lifting two fake lions (dolls) with young boys on top of them. The fake lions are the symbol of invaders and eight people who lifting the lions are the symbol of people of Indonesia. The lions are the Royal Coat of Arms of England, young boys riding fake lions are the symbol of England which came to Indonesia using their Dutch relationship.And there was a military agreement in Kalijati, Subang. An agreement between Dutch and Japan in 1942 that led Indonesia to be Japan's governance. Perhaps this occasion had inspired people of Indonesia at that time to create a unique performance for hist...

Why "Visit Indonesia, euy..."
2007-11-11 17:23:00
Indonesian Government had launched a program so called Visit Indonesia Year 2008, celebrating 100 years of nation's awakening.I dedicate this blog to support that kind of program. Well, I'm Indonesian therefore I have to support it.Then, what is "euy" on this blog meaning...? Why I put that word on my blog title and url...?I'm Sundanese and I come from Bandung, my beloved hometown. In Sundanese, we use "euy" phrase to express something in bad or good feeling, well actually it doesn't have any meaning at all. I'll give you the example: "hebat, euy...!" (great...!), "cape, euy...!" (so tired...!), "alus, euy...!" (good...!), etc.So, if I said "Visit Indonesia, euy...!" What I mean is "Please, come to Indonesia..."

The side views was amazing if you if nature. By the way, we contacted an agent first before coming to Sukabumi to arrange the water rafting that we wanted to try. We did not plan to spend overnight, so we just booked for the facilities to do water rafting.We got at the resort place in Sukabumi around 10 in the morning, the instructor has been ready for us and taught the basic water rafting and some survival basic in case of emergency. We rode up a jeep to reach the river and started water rafting. Whoooah, we enjoyed it so much. We rode down the river for about 12 km. Not very long, but good enough for starters like us to enjoy.
