Way Seputih River

Image
A reflection to an old Simple essay that was written by me in Kompasiana at 2015.  A field report about environment destructions along the river "Way Seputih" In Lampung.  To remember also the beauty of curug tujuh waterfall that flows throughin Way Seputih river.  It was more than 8 years ago until I write again it at this blog. No significance effect as I've know from that field report.  Hopefully everything's was ok there, and running well, people who lives near the river of Way Seputih along with their government take care their environment.  A simple field report as written on Kompasiana are as follow :  Sedikit Gambaran Wilayah  (Area overview)  Daerah Aliran Sungai (DAS) Way seputih merupakan sebuah sungai besar sepanjang 245 km yang berada di Provinsi Lampung Tengah. Tulisan ini dibuat hanya sebatas sebagai bentuk laporan, serta sedikit saran-saran pribadi yang berkenaan dengan sejumlah titik-titik kerusakan, hasil dari survey ...

West Papua (Personal Overview)

A 2015 road survey.  We found this rest area through information from local people we had met before. The weather was so cold, we are in the arfak mountains which is near to the couples lake.  Team were divided into 3 main divisions, each of them had it's own function. So with our vehicles. Sometimes we rent a motorcycle and bring it together, to reach location which is unreachable by car.  The three main divisions was named as follows : Naasra team, RCS team and RNI team.  There was no first survey, so it was a challenge for us to explore west Papua provincial road.

Access to Malinau can be reached by most model of modern car, emmh... A healthy car.  Some peoples were also get there by using a sailing boat from Tarakan harbor.  It's takes about 22 hours and sometimes more from Balikpapan, the distance it self is about 871 km. Experienced driver sometimes will takes no rest during travel.  Don't be surprised if some goods here is more expensive than other places. Malinau has many places for coal mining. Deeply regreted that ex-mining area had made a lot of damages to the environment.  While on the other sides it has increases incomes both for the people and also for the government there.

Malinau which is located in northern part of Indonesia has it's own story for us. In which we have to cook in scratch.

A taste of coffee

Image
Road survey activities has made me know the western part of Indonesia until the eastern part of it.  Not in detail surely, al least I had known most people were welcomed with many different cultures and beliefs.  I really had to learn more not just their places but also people's who live in. ☺ Years ago at Masjid Agung Aceh (left) and with local people in Manokwari district.  Road condition in Aceh mostly was under good maintenance by government. Maybe that's because it has national status which is under supervision of Central government from Jakarta as central Indonesian government.  A taste of Coffee The people's of Aceh most of them especially male and mature are like to take a cup of coffee both early in the morning or evening. They like to share between them everything at a cafe.  From talking about social activities until political point of views. Coffee in Aceh is famous among them.
