		<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[The Komodo National Park (Taman Nasional Komodo or TNK) is one of the 7 New Wonders of Nature’s nominees. And these are the 11 facts you probably didn&#8217;t know. TNK is populated by roughly 2,400 komodo dragons, the greatest lizard in the world. TNK comprises the islands of Rinca, Padar and Komodo. The Indonesian government officially announced TNK in 1980. TNK is 173,300 hectares. Topographically, the islands are hilly. And the valleys are home ranchs to komodo dragons. UNESCO has decided TNK as a World Heritage since 1986. Not only has the komodo, TNK is also splendid for maritime tourism. I’m talking about snorkeling and diving. There you can find also komodo dragon’s preys, e.g. wild buffalos, wild boars, deer, and maleo birds which are indigenous to Komodo Island. You may see the juvenile komodo living on the trees, like the small other lizards. Hatchlings, the little dragons emerge from the nest and immediately scramble up the nearest tree to avoid being eaten by the adults. Yes, komodo dragon is cannibal creature. TNK is two days trip from Bali by land (and sea) lane. And from Bali (Ngurah Rai Airport) to Komodo Airport is about 1.5 hours trip by air [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once upon a time, there was a boy named Sangguana who lived in Rote Island. One day, he tended to savannah. Felt tired and asleep, he slept under a palmyra tree. That’s when the dream came. Sangguana dreamt that he played beautiful music with a unique instrument. The sound, the melody, was so enchanting. Then he woke up. Surprisingly, Sangguana still remembered the tones he played in the dream. But he wanted to hear it one more time. So he tried to sleep again. And yes, he dreamt the same song and same instrument. Sangguana was enjoying his dream. However, he had to wake up. Didn’t want to lose those beautiful sounds, Sangguana in no time created a music instrument from palmyra with the strings in the middle, based on his memory from the dream. Et voilà! A very unique music instrument! A few weeks ago, I myself saw that instrument, and listened the sound Sangguana had heard in his dream. A talented local boy played the instrument in Indonesia Mencari Bakat, one of TransTV shows. It sounds like a harp, but it’s not. We simply named it sasando. In Rote language, “sasandu” means vibrating or sounded instrument. Yes, sasando [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Borobudur Temple may out of the Seven World Wonders since long time ago, but Indonesia still has seven World Heritages. Seven world class sites. UNESCO has released the World Heritage Sites list, and some of them are in Indonesia. Here they are. Borobudur Temple in Magelang regency (Central Java Province). Borobudur is a ninth-century Mahayana Buddhist monument. Borobudur is still used for pilgrimage, where once a year Buddhists in Indonesia (inviting some Buddhists from ASEAN countries) celebrate the religion feast at the monument. Ujung Kulon National Park (Banten Province). Inside this 1,206 square kilometer protected rain forest, the scarce fauna i.e. one-horn rhino has been living. There are only about 60 one-horn rhinos in the worldwide. Prambanan Temple in Klaten regency (Central Java Province). This temple was built up by Rakai Pikatan. Actually, the UN has determined this Hindu temple as one of the world heritages since 1991, same as Borobudur Temple. Komodo National Park (East Nusa Tenggara Province). This 1,817 square kilometers area is the natural habitat of 5,700 komodo dragons, the biggest lizard in the world. The ancient human site in Sangiran, Sragen regency (Central Java Province). This is location where Homo erectus fossils were discovered. Lorentz [...]]]></description>
