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?!^^
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.
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
9. Toilet Restaurant in Taiwan
8. Underwater Restaurant in Maldives
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
4. Dinner in the Sky
3. Devil Island Restaurant
2. Ninja Restaurant in New York
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’.
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, GermanyOne 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.

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.

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.. ^^
