		<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[By Brahmanto Anindito Lately, Indonesian media have been dominated by the issues of Densus 88. The televisions, radios and newspapers are talking about it. Who the hell is Densus 88, anyway? Well, special Detachment 88 a.k.a. Delta 88 a.k.a. Densus (Detasemen Khusus) 88 is the Indonesian counter-terrorism squad. It is part of the Indonesian National Police. Formed after the 2002 Bali bombing, it was officially announced to public in 2004. In 2005, it shot and killed Dr. Azhari Husin, one of the most dangerous bombers in the world. And now it aims Noordin Mohd Top, Azhari’s student. After the explosion in JW Marriot and Ritz Carlton Hotel, of course it’s a busy time. On the other side, since Densus 88 is funded, equipped, and trained by the United States, it must also prove that Densus 88 is purely fight against terrorism felony, not Islam. * * * Berbeda dengan Sat-81/Gultor (Penanggulangan Teror) milik Kopassus yang cenderung misterius, Densus 88 beberapa hari ini seperti tak henti-henti dibicarakan media. Ini terkait dengan investigasi peledakan bom Hotel JW Marriot dan Ritz Carlton 17 Juli lalu. Densus 88 AT (Antiteror) merupakan detasemen khusus di bawah Polri yang berfungsi menangani terorisme. Baik berupa ancaman pengeboman, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By: Brahmanto Anindito If you love badminton, you must know that Indonesia is one of the giants in this sport. But as a badminton lover and an Indonesian, I noticed some changes have been occurring, both in the athletes and the spectators. The disappointed changes. Let&#8217;s start from here: Indonesian badminton athletes today are more often likely to yell for celebrating any point gained, as the coaches told them to relieve the emotion, and &#8220;terrorize&#8221; their opponents. It&#8217;s logic. But finally this attitude only makes us no different with China, South Korea, and European athletes. I am not saying shout on the court is bad. I am just losing the low profiles athletes like Hendrawan (be coach now), Taufik Hidayat (almost retired) and Maria Kristin (still swaying the racket). I miss the &#8220;shout as loud as you can while I just try to stay calm and play better than you&#8221; attitude. This used to be our cultural characteristic as East people: Calm, but competent. The other attitude I miss is the respect toward opponent. Rudi Hartono, an Indonesian legendary badminton athlete, would pick the shuttlecock up and passed it above the net to be caught by his opponent. He never [...]]]></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>
