		<description><![CDATA[On October 2, 2009, UNESCO designated Indonesian batik as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. The education, science and cultural organization of United Nations insisted that Indonesia preserves their batik heritage. Of course! I can’t see otherwise. Batik has long been Indonesian traditional clothes, since the kingdoms era. Though, I cannot just ignore the fact that batik or fabrics that have batik patterns are found also in Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, China, Azerbaijan, India, Sri Lanka, Egypt, even in African countries like Nigeria and Senegal. But in Indonesia, you will see batik as everyday life part of some people. Each region here has their own batik’s unique patterns. Relating to things in their daily life, which show up in the patterns design of nature, animals, flowers, human, folklore, and others. The culture always also influences the design. Batik from coastal cities of northern Java, for instance, has particularly vibrant color. It absorbs Javanese, Arabian, Chinese and Dutch cultures. You can say, batik is an ancient method of color dyeing. But actually, there is stamp batik and hand-made batik (called batik tulis). Making the second one is never easy. It involves a complex process with many hours of hard [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I felt so sleepy that night. But when I was playing switch channels as usual, my eyes tethered on Metro TV. Kick Andy, a program similar to Oprah Show, was broadcasting a story of angklung performers&#8217; group. Ah, angklung. I knew this traditional music instrument by school lesson a long time ago, but never been attracted like that night. Hence, no more sleepy eyes. Angklung is made of two bamboo tubes attached to a bamboo frame. The tubes are carved so that they have a resonant pitch when struck. The two tubes are tuned to octaves. How does it work? The base of the frame is held by a performer with one hand while his other hand shakes the instrument rapidly from side to side. This causes a rapidly repeating note to sound. Based on Balinese mythology, angklung consist of two words; &#8220;angka&#8221; (tone) and &#8220;lung&#8221; (broken, incomplete, or gone). So, angklung could be meant as a broken or incomplete tone. Each angklung performer can play just one note. Certainly it&#8217;s incomplete! Consequently, angklung never be played by one performer. Angklung is popular throughout Southeast Asia, but originated from Indonesia. I remember my elementary school teacher told me that Balinese [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every Eid ul-Fitr day, in muslim’s house there is almost always ketupat. It is a staple food made from rice, wrapped by coconut leaves. I thought it is from Indonesia. But in fact ketupat or kupat also can be found in Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam, Singapore and Philippines. It is not also served only in Eid ul-Fitr. In Bali, ketupat is also used as ceremony presents. The word “ketupat” or “kupat” derives from Javanese word “ngaku lepat”, which means admit mistake. We hope ketupat tradition can make us admit our mistakes so we can apologize each other. The shape of ketupat is rhombus. In Javanese culture it means four human desires: amarah (anger), aluamah (hunger), supiah (desire to possess something good), and mutmainah (desire to force ourselves). We struggle to conquer those desires during Ramadhan. So, by eating ketupat, we supposed to fight against those all. How to make a ketupat? Generally, it’s simple, I tell you. Ketupat pack is made of janur kuning (coconut leaves) as the symbol to refuse misfortune. People in Indonesia used to make ketupat pack together to show their intimate. But of course we can also buy them in market. Put some rice into ketupat pack, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Meet Ana, a female green turtle. Her extraordinary journey from Indonesia into Australian waters is helping conservationists to track the migratory route of this species to the Kimberley-Pilbara coast, one of the few relatively pristine coastal areas left on Earth. Ana was tagged in Indonesia in November 2008 as part of a turtle tracking project by WWF and Udayana University in Bali, Indonesia, and has slowly made her way from a nesting beach in East Java, across the Indian Ocean, and is on track for the beaches of the Kimberley in Western Australia. The journey, monitored online by WWF, demonstrates the strong biological ties between Indonesia and the reefs on the west Australian coast. Ana has revealed an ‘oceanic superhighway&#8217; that helps us better understand how marine turtles navigate around the world&#8217;s oceans as well as highlighting the strong ecological and evolutionary connections between Indonesia and Australia&#8217;s Kimberley-Pilbara coast. Gilly Llewellyn, WWF Ocean&#8217;s Program Leader, said, &#8220;This new finding throws the spotlight on the true natural values of the magnificent Kimberley marine ecosystem and its link to the Coral Triangle to the north, the world&#8217;s epicentre of marine biodiversity and the cross-roads of migration routes and breeding grounds for whales, [...]]]></description>

In 2008, &#8220;We estimate it&#8217;ll reach 6,500. If by this year, there&#8217;s cruise ship stop in Surabaya, even just one, the target will easily accomplished,&#8221; said Yusak Anshori, Executive Director STPB (Surabaya Tourism Promotion Board), as Antara quoted. Assistant Vice President Port Operations &#38; Embarkation Star Cruises, Yong Peng Wai, added that Star Cruises will mix several ports in Indonesia as one of their tourism destinations. Places aimed are Seribu Island, Semarang, Surabaya, Bali, Lombok, and the islands of Komodo (one of the World Heritages in Indonesia), during about two weeks of luxurious voyage. Formerly, Darwin Ports, Australia, also had a plan to put Indonesia into its cruise route. Yes indeed, cruising [...]]]></description>
