Why Italy?!

If anyone ask wht country  I most want to visit, I can’t say other country than Italy…

Yup, maybe people around me already boring hearing me talk about Italy.. Lol^^ But, that’s why I feel, I have big enthusiasm with this country. Seems u can enjoy anything in Italy, ur life can full lively in Italy.

This time, I want list 7 reasons why I love Italy:

I must start by saying that I love history and especially ancient history and Italy is a big part of that history with the roman empire, also a big part of the Christian history. The sole historic weight of this country makes it wroth the visit for anybody who wants to learn anything about mankind's history or see some historic places.

 

We all know that the Catholic church is centered in Vatican which is a state situated in Rome and pope is number one world Catholic leader is living in the there. As a Catholic, i really want to take misa in one of great historical church and also meet the Pope and singing with great choirs in Vatican. Sounds cool right?!^^ But not just St.Peter Basilica, I want come inside and capture of every single great architecture churchs in Italy.  

           But Italy is not only a country full of historical old places to visit. In other parts, Italy also has some of the most wonderful scenery you can imagine. Whether you're in Sicily, Naples or Milan you will enjoy beautiful sight. It might be a little village full of charming people, the extraordinary view of the Mediterranean sea or the magnificent city of Venice you will surly find something to feed your camera with.

               Italy is very known for its gondola, even many countries has copy the gondola idea as travel business in their country. Gondola rides are a must for every tourist visiting Italy, include me. I feel the romantic ride gondola when sun go down, enjoy sunset while listen great voice from handsome gondolier..^^ Will be perfect if someone accompany me, anyone?!^^

                  One thing that could be a let down though is the food, while I do love cheese and Italian food  is full of cheese, that they put cheese on everything, on pizza, pasta, spaghetti. I’m also fond of ice cream, and Italy is famous with its gelato. My Italian native teacher in my country said that pizza and gelato taste in my country is different than in Italy, that’s why I want come to Italy for the great one from Italian hand cook.

          Ah, dolce far niente! It is also known as the sweetness of doing nothing. A term such as the art of doing nothing  implies something more than sitting in a lazy boy in front of a television set. It demands more from us. The art of doing nothing and doing it well could be realized in many ways. For some it may be accomplished by sipping tea by the fire, with a cat softly purring nearby, or by watching a baby sleep. For others the art is practiced by taking the time to share a story or two with the locals at the market. But for me, maybe I will sitting on chair near piazza while lick yummy gelato and observe what people doing around me especially Italiano.. lol..^^

  

         I love Italian language.. Many people consider Italian as the most beautiful spoken language in the world, and I am one of them. It seems u not just speak it but moreover sing it, give special rhythm to each word.  Besides that, Italian use their body in special circumstances to communicate. Mostly Italians use body language and hand gestures to punctuate an expression and give it a shading that the word or phrase itself lacks. 

Wish can realize all..^0^

Tutte le strade portano a Roma!

My Top 10 Bizarre Restaurants in the World

There are more then 100 million restaurants in this world. You can find it from cheap to expensive foods. Due to massive opening restaurants in one place so they create something interesting that can attract the visitors to come. Here are my top 10 bizarre, strange, unique theme restaurants:

10. Medical Restaurant in Taipei

Taipei is known for its variety of strangely themed dining establishments, but this one might just take the cake. D.S.Music Restaurant decorating the room like a hospital, the service was dressed like a nurse push you to your table in wheelchairs, where your drinks are served from an IV-like contraption hanging from the ceiling.

9. Toilet Restaurant in Taiwan

Perhaps the best-known strangely themed restaurant is Modern Toilet in Taipei, Taiwan, where hungry customers take a seat on Western-style commodes and enjoy feces-shaped chocolate soft serve in miniature toilet bowls. Toilet rolls are hung over the tables for use as napkins, and drinks come in miniature urinals. The toilet theme continues throughout the restaurant, with ‘WC’ signs hung as décor.

8. Underwater Restaurant in Maldives

Introduced the first underwater restaurant at the Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa, April 2007. Restaurant named Ithaa (read eet-ha) means Pearl in the language of the Maldives, Dhivehi, is 5 meters below the Indian Ocean which is surrounded by coral and underwater panorama. This is the first restaurant to the underwater category.

7. Condom Restaurant in Thailand

Cabbages & Condoms in Bangkok, Thailand  is the only restaurant in world dedicated to birth control. There are so many condoms hanging in wall and decorated in carpet. After eat, visitor will given condom from cashier. Their slogan, emblazoned on t-shirts in the gift shop, is “Our food is guaranteed not to cause pregnancy”. Menu items include the ‘Spicy Condom Salad’, fried Shanghai noodles spiced with herbs. The restaurant benefits the Population and Community Development Association (PDA).

6. Robot-Staffed Restaurant – Nuremburg, Germany

One restaurant in Nuremburg, Germany cut out waitstaff altogether, relying on robots instead. Alas, they weren’t walking, talking robots wearing aprons or anything really fun like that. Rather, it was centered around automation – customers ordered via touch screens, and moments later the food traveled to their tables on a spiral slide. It might have saved diners money on tips, but apparently the concept didn’t go over too well, as the restaurant was not open long.

5. The Hellfire Club in Manchester, UK

This is one of creepy theme restaurant in world. The Hellfire Club, with its gothic décor and creepy theme  located in a reportedly haunted 19th century building and resembles a dungeon, with skeletons, coffins and red lights strewn throughout. Menu items include steaks named ‘Kiss of the Vampire’ and ‘Cannibal Holocaust’.

4. Dinner in the Sky

  

Dinner in the Sky is one of the restaurants in Brussels which provide food for 22 people. Of course, at an altitude of 150 feet! Places to eat in a special design to be lifted using a crane and served meals like ham salad and sauteed prawns that are cooked in a small oven in the center of the structure. Visitors are free to determine the location of the height of interest, as long as not to drop the fork and knife.

3. Devil Island Restaurant

The owner of the Devil Island restaurants in China reportedly wanted to scare people away from a life of crime by showing them just how rough prison life can be – through a jail-themed restaurant where you’re led to your table in handcuffs and served fried coffin-shaped bread. Each table is surrounded by rusting prison bars, and you’re served by waiters in black-and-white striped uniforms. A similar restaurant in Beijing is misleadingly named ‘Zen Cool’.

2. Ninja Restaurant in New York

Ninja restaurant is served in a rather unusual restaurant, one in which no expense was spared to create an atmosphere that one reviewer described as “Ninja Disneyland”. Guests are led to the subterranean eatery through a “secret path” where “ninjas” lurk in the shadows, and brought to a table housed within a dungeon-like chamber.  The ninja waiters perform magic tricks that extend into the meal, like sauces that catch on fire.

1. Cannabalistic Sushi in Tokyo

"Nyotaimori" which means the female body is one of the name plate in the Japanese restaurant that serves sushi and sashimi on the bodies of women. The bodies are made from food and placed on the operating table like in the hospital. Visitors can take the body anywhere. The body of the cut will bleed, just like pieces of human body. The hostess begins the meal by cutting into the body with a scalpel and then patrons dig in, operating on the body to reveal edible ‘organs’.

Nostalgic with Prambanan Temple

After a very long time, i visited Lara Jongrang Prambanan Temple near my parents hometown, my sister droped me and i started to nostalgic with this temple. I remember i visited this temple when i'm in junior high school. The temple lil changed due to 2004 earthquake which attacked Bantul and Yogyakarta area. Now i see some ruins of temple.. but still we can see greatness feel of Prambanan temple.

 

 

I visited Ratu Boko temple too, only about three kilometres south of Prambanan temple complex and 15 minutes by car that provided by Prambanan management. The Ratu Boko Temple is considered to have been built as a dormitory for monks and also a remainder of King Boko's palace built around 8th century. King Boko is a legendary character known from popular folklore of Loro Jongrang. This folklore connects the Ratu Boko Palace, the Durga statue in Prambanan temple (which is identified by local folklore as Loro Jonggrang), and the origin of the Sewu temple complex nearby. Prince Bandung Bondowoso loved Princess Loro Jonggrang, the daughter of King Boko, but she rejected his proposal of marriage because Bandung Bondowoso had killed King Boko and ruled her kingdom.

Entrance gate of Ratu Boko temple

Cozy garden..

Ups, my sister called me.. Time to this finish nostalgic..

Cathedral

Never thought lies ghotic Cathedral with its amazing architecture in busy and hectic Jakarta city..

 

 Hope can capture St. Peter Basilica and other amazing Cathedral in any countries.. Amen..

Pintarnya Yahudi

Pasti udah pada tau donk young billionare Mark Zuckerberg, fisikawan Albert Einstein, bapak psikoanalisis Sigmund Freud. Yup, semuanya adalah orang keturunan Yahudi dan masih banyak lagi orang Yahudi yang pintar dan berpengaruh di dunia ini, sebut saja Karl Marx, George Soros, Steve Ballmer, Levi Strauss, Steven Spielberg, Roman Polanski dan masih banyak lagi, sampe cape nyebutinnya...

Masih belum percaya kalau banyak orang Yahudi yang pinter, nih fakta-faktanya:

- Proporsi orang Yahudi yang memiliki IQ di atas 140 diperkirakan 6X lebih banyak dari etnis manapun di dunia.

- 32% penghargaan Nobel dalam bidang literature, medicine, fisika dan kimia dimenangkan oleh orang Yahudi.

- Pada tahun 1954, terdapat 28 anak di salah satu sekolah di New York yang memiliki IQ lebih dari 170 dan 24 anak ini adalah keturunan Yahudi.

So, apa siy yang membuat banyak orang Yahudi pinter - pinter? Apakah Tuhan memberikan kelebihan pada mereka? Apakah suatu kebetulan? atau kelebihan? Let's we find out,, menurut artikel Dr Stephen Carr Leon yang merupakan pengamatan langsung selama 3 tahun di Israel karena menjalani housemanship dibeberapa rumah sakit di sana. Dirinya melihat ada beberapa hal yang menarik yang dapat ditarik sebagai bahan tesisnya, yaitu, “Mengapa Yahudi Pintar?”

Persiapan Melahirkan

Marilah kita mulai dengan persiapan awal melahirkan. Di Israel, setelah mengetahui sang ibu sedang mengandung, sang ibu akan sering menyanyi dan bermain piano. Si ibu dan bapak akan membeli buku matematika dan menyelesaikan soal bersama suami.

Stephen sungguh heran karena temannya yang mengandung sering membawa buku matematika dan bertanya beberapa soal yang tak dapat diselesaikan. Kebetulan Stephen suka matematika.

Stephen bertanya, “Apakah ini untuk anak kamu?”

Dia menjawab, “Iya, ini untuk anak saya yang masih di kandungan, saya sedang melatih otaknya, semoga ia menjadi jenius.”

Hal ini membuat Stephen tertarik untuk mengikut terus perkembangannya.

Kembali ke matematika tadi, tanpa merasa jenuh si calon ibu mengerjakan latihan matematika sampai genap melahirkan.

Cara Makan

Hal lain yang Stephen perhatikan adalah cara makan. Sejak awal mengandung dia suka sekali memakan kacang badam dan korma bersama susu. Tengah hari makanan utamanya roti dan ikan tanpa kepala bersama salad yang dicampur dengan badam dan berbagai jenis kacang-kacangan.

Menurut wanita Yahudi itu, daging ikan sungguh baik untuk perkembangan otak dan kepala ikan mengandungi kimia yang tidak baik yang dapat merusak perkembangan dan penumbuhan otak anak didalam kandungan. Ini adalah adat orang orang Yahudi ketika mengandung. menjadi semacam kewajiban untuk ibu yang sedang mengandung mengonsumsi pil minyak ikan.

Ketika diundang untuk makan malam bersama orang orang Yahudi. Begitu Stephen menceritakan, “Perhatian utama saya adalah menu mereka. Pada setiap undangan yang sama saya perhatikan, mereka gemar sekali memakan ikan (hanya isi atau fillet),”

ungkapnya.

Biasanya kalau sudah ada ikan, tidak ada daging. Ikan dan daging tidak ada bersama di satu meja. Menurut keluarga Yahudi, campuran daging dan ikan tak bagus dimakan bersama. Salad dan kacang, harus, terutama kacang badam.

Uniknya, mereka akan makan buah buahan dahulu sebelum hidangan utama. Jangan terperanjat jika Anda diundang ke rumah Yahudi Anda akan dihidangkan buah buahan dahulu. Menurut mereka, dengan memakan hidangan kabohidrat (nasi atau roti) dahulu kemudian buah buahan, ini akan menyebabkan kita merasa ngantuk. Akibatnya lemah dan payah untuk memahami pelajaran di sekolah.

ROKOK

Di Israel, merokok adalah tabu, apabila Anda diundang makan dirumah Yahudi, jangan sekali kali merokok. Tanpa sungkan mereka akan menyuruh Anda keluar dari rumah mereka. Menyuruh Anda merokok di luar rumah mereka.

Menurut ilmuwan di Universitas Israel, penelitian menunjukkan nikotin dapat merusakkan sel utama pada otak manusia dan akan melekat pada gen. Artinya, keturunan perokok bakal membawa generasi yang cacat otak ( bodoh). Suatu penemuan yang dari saintis gen dan DNA Israel.

Perhatian Stephen selanjutnya adalah mengunjungi anak-anak Yahudi. Mereka sangat memperhatikan makanan, makanan awal adalah buah buahan bersama kacang badam, diikuti dengan menelan pil minyak ikan (code oil lever).

Dalam pengamatan Stephen, anak-anak Yahudi sungguh cerdas. Rata rata mereka memahami tiga bahasa, Hebrew, Arab dan Inggris. Sejak kecil mereka telah dilatih bermain piano dan biola. Ini adalah suatu kewajiban.

Menurut mereka bermain musik dan memahami not dapat meningkatkan IQ. Sudah tentu bakal menjadikan anak pintar.

Ini menurut saintis Yahudi, hentakan musik dapat merangsang otak.

Tak heran banyak pakar musik dari kaum Yahudi.

1 – 6 SD

Seterusnya di kelas 1 hingga 6, anak anak Yahudi akan diajar matematika berbasis perniagaan. Pelajaran IPA sangat diutamakan. Di dalam pengamatan Stephen, “Perbandingan dengan anak anak di California, dalam tingkat IQ-nya bisa saya katakan 6 tahun kebelakang!! !” katanya.

Segala pelajaran akan dengan mudah di tangkap oleh anak Yahudi. Selain dari pelajaran tadi olahraga juga menjadi kewajiban bagi mereka. Olahraga yang diutamakan adalah memanah, menembak dan berlari.

Menurut teman Yahudi-nya Stephen, memanah dan menembak dapat melatih otak fokus. Disamping itu menembak bagian dari persiapan untuk membela negara.

Sekolah Menengah – Perguruan Tinggi

Selanjutnya perhatian Stephen ke sekolah tinggi (menengah). Di sini murid-murid digojlok dengan pelajaran sains. Mereka didorong untuk menciptakan produk. Meski proyek mereka kadangkala kelihatannya lucu dan memboroskan, tetap diteliti dengan serius.

Apa lagi kalau yang diteliti itu berupa senjata, medis dan teknik. Ide itu akan dibawa ke jenjang lebih tinggi.

Satu lagi yg di beri keutamaan ialah fakultas ekonomi. Saya sungguh terperanjat melihat mereka begitu agresif dan seriusnya mereka belajar ekonomi. Diakhir tahun diuniversitas, mahasiswa diharuskan mengerjakan proyek. Mereka harus memperaktekkanya.

Anda hanya akan lulus jika team Anda (10 pelajar setiap kumpulan) dapat keuntungan sebanyak $US 1 juta!

Anda terperanjat?

Itulah kenyataannya.

So, kalau ingin punya anak yang pinter, perlu juga tuh ikutin cara hidup orang Yahudi di atas.. ^^

Dieng, the Goddess Place..

Mau ngrasain suasana Puncak di Jawa Tengah? Datanglah ke Dieng, bahkan hawa dingin d Dieng melebihi Puncak yg skrg ini yg menurut saya udh ga dingin lg. Yup, mengetahui Kamis libur dan tnyata ada instruksi u/ Jumat bisa cuti bersama, stlh ngubek2 Kaskus, tnyata ada ajakan jalan k Dieng, tp mereka brgkt Kamis mlm & menurut gw knpa ga brgkt Rabu sore aja, jd ada waktu u/ mengunjungi Jogja, stlh posting dapetlah 1 org yg minat u/ brgkt Rabu sore. Walaupun saat itu berhembus kabar akan kawah Timbang yg beracun, namun stlh konfirmasi ke mas Dwi ( pemilik penginapan bu Jono ) bahwa kawah Timbang sgt jauh dr kawasan wisata Dieng Plateau dan sangat aman, maka kami tetap putuskan u/ tetap berangkat. Meeting point di term.Grogol pk.17.00, stlh menunggu bbrpa menit datanglah bus jur. Jakarta-Wonosobo. Perjalanan Jakarta-Wonosobo terbilang cukup lama, kita sampai di Wonosobo kira2 pk. 10.30 an, 17 jam!! Fiiuuuh…

Turun di pertigaan arah ke Dieng Plateau, naiklah kita semacam minibus, tak lupa meminta kenek u/ menurunkan kami d Penginapan Bu Jono ( penginapan ini udh terkenal lho semenjak tertulis di buku Lonely Planet,, ). Stlh 30 menit perjalanan akhir’a kami sampai jg d penginapan bu Jono, bertemu mas Dwi sang pengurus penginapan yg ternyata org’a ramah & down to earth bgt… Beres2, mandi, minta dibikinin peta wisata Dieng, cabutlah kita ( di penginapan kita jg bertemu org2 yg mw kemping di gunung ). Hawa dingin sangat terasa menyejukkan, suhu di Dieng sejuk mendekati dingin, temperatur berkisar 15—20°C di siang hari dan 10°C di malam hari. Bahkan, suhu udara terkadang dapat mencapai 0°C di pagi hari, terutama antara Juli—Agustus. Seperti nama’a Dieng yg berarti tempat bersemayamnya para dewa-dewi, daerah terasa seperti di khayangan,, ( beneran lho walaupun gw ga tau seperti apa khayangan itu,,^^ just have that feeling! )

Domba di Dieng,, almost perfect pic.

Spot pertama yg kami datangi adalah komplek Candi Arjuna. Komplek candi tersebut terdiri dari Candi Arjuna, Candi Srikandi, Candi Puntadewa, Candi Sembadra, Candi Gatot Kaca. Candi-candi di Dieng dipercaya sebagai tanda awal peradaban Hindu di Pulau Jawa pada masa Sanjaya pada abad ke-8. Hal ini ditunjukkan dengan adanya gugusan candi di Dieng yang konon untuk memuja Dewa Syiwa. edangkan untuk penamaan candi-candi itu sendiri dipercaya baru dimulai pada abad ke-19. Hal ini ditunjukkan dengan adanya relief-relief yang ada pada candi tersebut. Misalnya pada Candi Srikandi, relief yang terlukis justru merupakan penggambaran dari wujud Dewa Syiwa. Candi-candi tersebut dibangun dengan menggunakan konstruksi batu Andesit yang berasal dari Gunung Pakuwaja yang berada di Selatan komplek Candi Dieng.

Lalu kami lanjut ke kawah Sikidang. Sikidang adalah kawah di Diengyang paling populerdikunjungi wisatawan karena paling mudah dicapai. Kawah ini terkenal karena lubang keluarnya gas selalu berpindah-pindah di dalam suatu kawasan luas. Dari karakter inilah namanya berasal karena penduduk setempat melihatnya berpindah-pindah seperti kijang. Di luar kawasan wisata kawah Sikidang saya melihat anak gimbal. Yup, hampir semua anak di Dieng memiliki rambut gimbal. nak-anak asli Dieng yang berusia 40 hari sampai enam tahun berambut gimbal. Anak gimbal pada awalnya terserang demam dengan suhu tubuh yang sangat tinggi, disertai Ngromet (Jawa) atau menggigau waktu tidur (gejala psikis). Gejala-gejala ini tidak bisa diobati sampai akhirnya akan normal dengan sendirinya tetapi rambut sang anak akan menggimbal. Rambut inilah yang dipercayai titipan dari penguasa alam gaib. Rambut gimbal tersebut baru bisa dipotong setelah adanya permintaan dari si anak sendiri.

Anak gimbal di parkiran kawah Sikidang

Masuk ke kawasan kawah Sikidang, hampir semua dataran di kawasan itu mengandung belerang. Sepanjang kaki melangkah terdengar suara seperti air mendidih dr bawah dataran itu. Hmm… pikir2 kenapa ga bawa telur ya u/ iseng rebus di sini.. ^^ Terdapat beberapa ibu yg menjual belerang, katanya siy bagus u/ muka, bekerja di tempat penuh resiko ini, what a tough woman..

Pagi2 pk. 4 kami sudah bersiap2 u/ melihat sunrise dr bukit Sikunir. Walaupun dingin & nagntuk menghampiri, tpi tdk dpt mengalahkan rasa excited kami..  Kami pun tancap gas dgn menaiki motor bersama mas Dwi & Steven yg berasal dr Canada dan mengajar b. Inggris di Vietnam. Sampai di parkiran bukit Sikunir, kami harus menanjak bukit selama 30 menit. Mungkin karena pagi hari atau emank ga kuat nanjak saya merasa kelelahan & kurang oksigen menanjak bukit itu. Sempat ingin bhenti di spot sunrise pertama, tp yg lain ingin ke spot puncak , dgn sekuat tenaga lanjutlah sampai spot sunrise puncak. Meski harus ngos-ngosan tapi semua terbayar sudah dengan pemandangan sunrise yg menakjubkan dimana berdiri Gunung Sindoro, Gunung anak Sindoro dan Gunung Sumbing pun terlihat meski agak jauh. Sebenarnya awan agak mendung sehingga matahari tdk begitu telihat, namun itu tidak mengurangi keindahan sunrise dr bukit Sikunir. Angin dingin sangat menusuk tubuh, sinyal hp pun tdk ada di bukit ini. Stlh foto2 & menikmati keindahan dr bukit ini, kami pun turun.

Begaya dulu ah sama Sindoro.. ^^

Kami pun berpisah dengan mas Dwi & Steve, melanjutkan perjalanan kami. Kami pun langsung tancap gas ke telaga Merdada, sumur Jalatunda dan telaga Warna. Yang special adalah telaga Warna, seperti nama’a telaga ini memiliki warna yg berubah-ubah, kadang berwarna hijau dan kuning, biru dan kuning. Dengan latar pegunungan dan beberapa batang pohon yg seakan tumbang, menghasilkan pemandangan telaga yg sangat cantik. Menurut masyarakat setempat, ada suatu kisah yang menyebabkan warna telaga itu berwarna-warni. Konon, dahulu ada cincin milik bangsawan setempat yang bertuah namun terjatuh ke dasar telaga.

Sementara menurut ilmiah, telaga ini merupakan kawah gunung berapi yang mengandung belerang. Akibatnya, bila air telaga terkena sinar matahari akan dibiaskan menjadi warna-warna yang indah. Tidak jauh dari telaga, terdapat 3 gua yaitu gua Semar, gua Sumur dan gua Jaran.

Jam menunjukkan pk. 11 saat’a kami balik ke penginapan u/ berkemas pulang. Teman saya lanjut ke Purwokerto u/ langsung pulang esok harinya, sedangkan aku lanjut ke Jogja. Ingin rasanya lebih lama di Dieng, namun apa daya.. Will back someday..
