Cibodas







Cibodas is a famous place in Cianjur. Green is all over you. Fresh air and the dew will welcome you once you wake up in the morning. No pollution like what you will get in big cities. It’s very cold at night. For those who can’t stand of cold like me, don’t forget to bring a thick coat or warm sweater for your own comfort. This huge green park fills with old trees and rare ones and other plants that are prohibited to be picked. There’s a fish pond. And actually it has some fish in there. Just look at it closely, you’ll see it. If you happen to live near Cibodas, you don’t need any lodging or sort of, but if you come in groups from other cities far from Cibodas, there’s some lodging where you can rent to stay. The rooms are big and quite many. Ah, if you can’t stand of the cold, there’s hot water in the bathroom. If you bring your bike with you, you can take a tour around the park. Not to forget to visit the waterfall. It’s a bit far from the lodging and you have to go down through a number of stares…he he he he …it’s worthy.
It’s my dream place because it reminds me of those vast savannahs in some places in Europe and New Zealand (though I have never been to one of those places). I love countryside. Did you happen to watch “The Runaway Bride”? Remember at the end Julia Robert and Richard Gere married at the vast prairie or savannah (I don’t know which one is right). Yup, I wish to be married here too. I don’t like being shielded by block of walls in my wedding day. This place is surely the best one to celebrate your new life. Everyone will enjoy the scenery and the atmosphere will be so intimate. We can chat or laugh together. Hmm, will it happen? I don’t know…근데 난 기도할게요. 그 남자은 비슷한 생각을 하길 바래요. 빠쌰!

프라이팬 놀이/Frying Pan Game/BTS

Playing Frying Pan Game/BTS We played a new game called Frying pan game (프라이팬 놀이) with our Korean guests in our Korean Class. It was fun. It’s like catching the mouse game. We learn the Korean numbers in the same time.  Say, if your friend mentions your name and the number, you have to mention your name according to the number he/she mentions previously.  For example, if your friend says "Dana dul (2)", so you have to say your name twice, "Dana...Dana" and so on and so on. If you make a mistake, well, you get the punishment. The type of the punishment depends on the agreement of the players. They are many types, trust me. Just choose one.  This game was played on one of the TV programs in Korea hosted by Kang Ho Dong (강 호 동), Hye Ryong said. 재미 있네요. 우리 애들이 놀이를 좋아해요.  But hey! BTS too played this game on one of their TV shows.  You can check out the video  here  So far, we have learned many Korean games. Mostly we got...

Yutnori

Yutnori Apa itu Yutnori ? Hmmm... pernah dengar yutnori (dibaca: yunnori)? kata ini bukan berasal dari bahasa Jawa tapi bahasa Korea. Yutnori adalah nama salah satu permainan tradisional Korea.  Permainan ini biasa dimainkan secara beregu ketika acara tahun baru Korea yang disebut juga 설날 (sollal) . Tahun baru biasanya menjadi ajang kumpul seluruh anggota keluarga. Selain makan Tteokguk , mereka biasanya memainkan Yutnori . Ini penampakan Yutnori , ada papan permainan dan dadunya. Yang unik, dadunya tidak bentuk kotak seperti kebanyakan dadu pada umumnya tapi berbentuk batangan. Hal lain yang membedakan dadu  yutnori  dari dadu pada umumnya adalah tidak ada bentuk titik-titik yang melambangkan angka. Yang ada itu tulisan  도  (Do),  개  (Gae),  걸  (Gul), dan  윷  (Mo) .   Eh, permainan ini pernah muncul disalah satu drama Korea yang dulu nge-hits banget dulu, Princess Hours. Kalau tidak salah di ep...

Historical Visit

Historical Visit Besides visiting Baduy. We also visited the old Banten. Banten used to be the most popular kingdom. It is known till England. Once their representative visited England and they were welcomed exaggeratedly. Banten is famous because it had an international port for trading. People from many countries visited it. Unfortunately there’s disagreement between the father—Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa—and the son—Sultan Haji who collaborated with the Dutch—which lead to the destruction of the palace and the vanquishing the offspring of the royal family. They now spread everywhere. The remnant was unknown back then till recently on the initiative of one person there the digging was conducted. During the old regime, Old Banten was stated to be dead site. So, not like Borobudur temple, the Old Banten remained infamous. The reconstruction was done very slowly. You can see in my pictures there. Instead now, the site is famous for the people who believe in magic tricks. They wh...
