2008-05-13 00:00:00
G-land, east java with a amazing wave is a paradise for surfer. Situated south coast of Java faces the Indian Ocean, so it is exposed to large swells generated by low pressure systems circling Antarctica, many thousands of kilometers to the south. G-Land (tourist-destinations/g-land-plengkung.ht ml) is situated on the eastern side of the Bay of Grajagan, so it has a westerly aspect, like at rightangles to the predominant swell direction. As a result, swell wraps around the point and into the eastern side of the bay, producing long, walling left-handers, which peel at a rapid rate along a half kilometer stretch of shallow coral reef, forming perfectly hollow tubes that remain open the whole way.

Population Growth Trends of Countries and Global Investing Strategy
2008-03-14 00:00:00
“Demographics is destiny,” is a phrase that is way overused and abused. Demographics isn’t necessarily destiny, but it does play a major role in the rise and fall of civilizations. For example Rome the city at its height of power had over a million residents and controlled 100 million subjects. When Rome fell to the Germanic raiders it had only 50,000 residents left and its control did not extend much outside the city. Demographics is important, which in turn may influence where you choose to invest. So we thought it would be interesting to see how the populations represented by some of the international ETFs we follow stack up against the U.S. in terms of demographics. Using estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau, we calculated the expected population growth over the next 25 years—roughly a generation—as well as the percentage of the population 65 years of age or older, both now and in 2032. For single country ETFs this was easy; for the regional funds...

Banyuwangi Regency, East Java : Meru Betiri National Park
2007-10-03 00:00:00
Meru Betiri National Park covers 580 square kilometres (58,000 hectares) of eastern Java . It receives few tourists as accessibility is very difficult and the drive is a long bumpy trip, even by 4WD. The 30 kilometre trip crosses half a dozen rivers as it winds its way through dense forest and a runner plantation. As visitors near the park the potholes just get larger and the ride more unpleasant. It is perhaps unnecessary to point out how beneficial this is for the wildlife of the area. Named after the highest mountain in the area, Gunung Betiri, the park consists of one of the last large areas of lowland rainforest on Java. Amongst this are mangroves, lowland swamp forest and beach formations.
