Why we have chosen this theme
Nowadays a lot of people are fond of travelling.
But in the present day political situation there are some problems
with travelling to European countries, that’s why more and more
people would like to know about sights and pleasures in
Southeast-Asian countries.
Indonesia is one of these
countries and we are lucky
to live and study here.
The aim of our work
We are going to introduce this
far away country, to attract
your attention to its places of
interest and beautiful traditions
and reveal some necessary
points while travelling across
this island state.
Indonesia in Brief
Indonesia or officially the Republic of Indonesia is
a sovereign state in Southeast Asia and Oceania.
Indonesia is an archipelago comprising 17000 of
islands. About 500 of them even don’t have names.
Indonesia is a republic with a presidential system.
Administratively, Indonesia consists of 34 provinces,
five of which have special status. Each province has its
own legislature and governor. Lying along the
equator, Indonesia has a tropical climate with two
distinct wet and dry seasons. Indonesia is the
largest Muslim-majority country in the world.
Jakarta - the capital of
Indonesia
Jakarta-officially known as the Special Capital Region
of Jakarta- is the capital and the largest city of
Indonesia. It is one of the most populated urban
agglomerations in the world.
Jakarta has an estimated population of 10.2 million in
2014, up from 9.58 million in 2010. Jakarta is now
considered to be a global city and one of the fastest
growing economies in the world. Interestingly, Jakarta
now has the highest return on investment for luxury real
estate in 2014 compared to any other city on earth.
There’s lots of beautiful buildings and hotels but there
are many poor people and kids too. Jakarta is
a very crowed city
The Sights of Jakarta
Being in Jakarta, you can visit such famous
museums as the National Museum,
the Wayang Museum, the Museum of Batik.
You will find here a lot of interesting
and amazing facts about the history
and culture of Indonesia.
The most favourite places are
Park Anchol (or Ocean Dream)
and Mini-Indonesia Park.
Safari Park
If you have free time, then you should definitely visit the Safari in
Puncak (it the place not far from Jakarta). This is not just a place; it
is a kingdom of very rich flora and faunа. Here you can see different
animals from different parts of the world. The park is divided into
several parts, from a petting zoo to picnic areas. When you enter the
safari park, you pass a large circle, watching and feeding the
animals, and then you leave and you can stroll through the huge
territory.
Safari Park
Personally, I love to go to the terrarium, ride a
different horseback riding, and go to a horror movie.
Every time being here, I still take photos with
monkeys, lions and elephants.
Here you can feel like a wild animal in the jungle
getting close to the animals.
Watching the life of the animals, we learn a lot of new, interesting
things about them.
This is one of my favorite places;
here I am united with my family.
A lot can be said, but better to see
the safari than to listen to a long story
Yogyakarta –
the soul of Indonesia
Yogyakarta is a city on the island
of Java. The city is known as a
center of classical Javanese fine art
and culture, particular in batik,
ballet, drama, music, poetry and
puppet shows.
Borobudur and Prambanan are the
two ancient temple complexes.
Merapi, the largest active volcano
in Indonesia, is situated near by.

Bali
Bali
Bali is a magical place. As probably the most famous
island in Indonesia, Bali blends spectacular mountain
scenery and beautiful beaches with warm and friendly
people, a vibrant culture and out of this world resorts.
Bali
Bali is an island and province of Indonesia. Bali is the
largest tourist destination in the country and is
renowned for its highly developed arts,
including traditional and modern dance, sculpture,
painting, leather, metalworking, and music. Since the
late 20th century, the province has had a rise in
tourism.
The trip to Bali
This palace has been shaped in the form of a beautiful water garden
and it is located near a natural spring. The scenery of the area is
fantastic with great views and the climate is relatively cool. These
facts, together with the religious rites of the spring, inspired the Raja
to build himself a private country house nearby this spring set amidst
a beautiful recreational garden.
He called it Tirtagangga –
derived from the words
'Tirta' (blessed water)
and 'Gangga.
'The water of Tirtagangga
has always been regarded
as holy and is regularly used
for religious temple ceremonies.
The trip to Bali
The ocean in Bali is net. There are colorful fishes and
very beautiful coral reefs. You can walk underwater and
breathe with help of a helmet.
Belitung
Mystical Belitung (Belitung), can’t be found in popular
guidebooks. It is hidden by the Northern part of
Sumatra and is still not fully open, deserted and not
tainted by the jewel of Southeast Asia. Situated between
the South China and the Java seas of the Pacific ocean,
as if it is barricaded by Sumatra from dangerous
currents and floating debris, which simply does not
reach its shores, Belitung, even in low season, bathes in
the shallow turquoise water surrounded by small Islands
- satellites
Kepayang island
The island is slowly being renovated and
opened its beaches for foreign visitors.
Now some words about beaches. The
sand is pure white, thin, similar to
powdered sugar. It is of such high quality
that VIP resorts in Singapore and
Malaysia imported it to their artificial
beaches. And besides all this sand was
mined for the manufacture of glass
Tanjungpandan
The capital of the Belitung
Tanjungpandan cannot be called
the abode of night life and noisy
parties. This modest but
surprisingly clean town, is not a
seeker of fame as Kuta or
Pattaya. In the evening on the
main street a small café is open.
Here you can drink the famous
Bintang beer, and have dancing,
and if you want, even sing smiling DJs gladly will give you
the microphone.
The stones of Belitung
The stones of Belitung is a separate
and very mystical story. Someone
from the locals believes that these
boulders fell from the sky, but, in
fact, this beauty is not only as a gift
from the heavens. Each beach in
Belitung is surrounded with stones of
different colors and types, each stone
has its own story. And it is impossible
to tear your eyes away from these
natural scenery. In the evening one of
the best practice here is to sit on the
stone Tingyi and, watching the sun
sink into the ocean, wait for the
beginning of the meteor shower
(which is the landmark of Belitung
Putri
Another place in Indonesia, close
to Jakarta, I want to tell you
about , is Putri Island You can
reach it from the boat station
Marino by a speedboat, It will
take you about 60 minutes. The
island is located in the
archipelago of the Thousand
Islands and it is about 50 km
North of Jakarta in the Java sea.
In fact there are about 105
Islands.
Many of these Islands are
uninhabited, and many are in
private ownership, such as this:
The island Putri is a great place to relax from the urban
bustle, enjoy a swim in the sea with fins and mask and have
a good time. On the island is a beautiful pool, a tennis court,
a unique underwater aquarium (on the bottom of the sea a
tunnel of glass is made, in which you can go down and walk
on foot). Also on the island you can rent a horse, equipment
for diving and snorkeling or take a ride on the banana.
Putri
But walking around the island, we came upon a
strange footprints in the sand and wanted to
understand what it was. What do you think it was?
Once learned, we decided to stay away.
Except for these creatures, which the locals call
saltwater crocodiles, there is nothing more extraordinary
here. Beautiful island in all respects.
Important tips for travellers
Indonesia is a very interesting and many-sided country, but at
the same time it has dangers. We decided to write you about some
of them.
Dangers of Indonesia
Volcanoes. Indonesia is the country with one of the highest levels
of volcanic activity in the world. Majestic and mysterious
volcanoes attract a great number of tourists, some of which (on
lack of information) become the victims of suddenly raged
elements.
Important tips for travellers
Climate. During a season of rains considerable danger in Indonesia is
represented by the pernicious landslides which are suddenly covering
roads and the whole settlements with tons of dirt and stones, claiming
the human lives.
Insects
Tropical climate of Indonesia is a real paradise for the various flying
and creeping insects capable to cause many troubles to the careless
tourists. As insects are attracted by sugar and sweet, it is
recommended not to leave on clothes sweet spots after food
(especially some fruit), and also to take a shower several times a day.
Important tips for travellers
Dangerous animals
There are poisonous insects and snakes, large predatory animals on
the land, jellyfishes and sharks in sea waters. These and many other
dangerous animals, certainly, can be met in natural violence of the
Indonesian islands, however, on Bali and other resort zones chance
to face them many times less, than in India or on Sri Lanka. The
best-known terrible inhabitant of the Indonesian islands are the huge
komodsky monitor lizards what are famous for a habit of attacking
the chosen victim suddenly. Be careful and everything will be OK!
