SUMBAWA ISLAND


Sumbawa is a large island to the east of Bali and Lombok. It is part of West Nusa Tenggara along with Lombok. There are hundreds of small islands in this area in addition to the two major islands. Sumbawa really belongs more to Eastern Indonesia than to to the western part of the archipelago. The effects of Hindu and Buddhist cultures are minimal in Sumbawa (although there is a Balinese presence along the northern coastal area), and although the island is predominantly Muslim, the role of adat is still very strong.


The slogan of the Sumbawa Regency is: "B E S A R" which stands for BERSIH, ELOK, SEHAT, AMAN, DAN RAPI. The regional government's official website notes that Sumbawa still lacks sufficient medical facilities to support public health, in particular a lack of doctors and other health professionals. A public health center was recently opened in Sekongkang, but adequate treatment for a serious illness or accident requires a trip to Sumbawa Besar or Mataram, both of which require a journey of at least four hours minimum.



Sumbawa is divided into four regencies and one municipality. The regencies are: Sumbawa Barat, Sumbawa Besar, Dompu, and Bima. The municipality is Kodya Bima. The most recent census lists the population as being 1.1 million. There are two main ethnic groups: Bima and the Samawa.



The regional government has a six year plan  for improving the lives of the island's residents. This plan includes: Health (improving health service quality including equipment and facilities), Education, Social Welfare (including reaching gender equality), Agriculture ( optimizing resources for improving agricultural products), Industry, Trade and Cooperation (developing an economic system that focuses on the fair market mechanism), Regional Finance and Capital Investment, Manpower and Demography, Public Works and Communication (improving transport and the use of water resources), Agrarian Matter and Landscape, Living Environment and Natural Resource (rehabilitating and conserving natural resources), Tourism, Art and Culture (developing tourism based on natural and cultural tours, as well as teaching traditional art and culture), Religious Life Teaching (improving religious life through teaching and providing praying facilities and by making the role of religious institutions and social organizations to be teaching about living in harmony with other religious people), Law and Society's Orderliness (creating safe conditions based on the supremacy of the law and human rights); Politic and the Efficiency of Apparatus (improving the quality of public service through responsibility and the quality of government institutions); Science and Technology (the application of right and useful technology).



In many respects Sumbawa can be considered remote. To get to Sumbawa from Bali most people take the ferry from Bali to Lombok, travel overland to the eastern seaport in Lombok and then take another ferry to Sumbawa, ending up in Poto Tano. From there transportation is somewhat problematic. There are buses that will take you on to Sumbawa Besar, the capital, or down the coast road to the south, but my experience has been that trying to get on a bus once you arrive in Sumbawa is somewhat difficult (see the Transportation page for more details). If traveling from Lombok, it is best to board a bus there that will take you to your final destination in Sumbawa. It is also possible to fly into the city of Sumbawa Besar on the western side of the island, and Bima on the eastern side of the island. A small airline called Tropical Air existed for a short while which flew directly to Sekongkan where I am located and where the surfing spots of Yoyo and Scar Reef are located.. We still have the airport, but flights have been stopped for an indefinite period.



Sumbawa is known for its great waves and sandy white beaches. Due to the somewhat trying process of getting there and the scarcity of cheap tourist facilities, the island is not visited much by non-surfing tourists which is unfortunate as the parts of the island that I have seen are quite beautiful. During the dry season (April to November) a lot of dust is blown up and around. Strong winds blow in off the ocean, and the lush green hills, mountains and valleys turn a dusty brown. When the rainy season begins an amazing transformation takes place and the island becomes a lush jungle once again.



The pace of life on Sumbawa is definitely slower than that in Bali. As most of the island is still developing, there is a very rural feel to just about everywhere that you go, including Sumbawa Besar, the capital of the western side fo the island. The mining company, Newmont, has a gold and copper mine down in the southwestern corner of the island around the villages of Sekongkang, Maluk and Benete. Their presence has speeded up the development process on this side of the island.



Sumbawa is one of the larger islands in the archipelago, and we only live in the southwestern corner. I've been to Sumbawa Besar several times, but only for short periods. Taliwang, about an hour north of us, is a fairly small place, but large compared to Sekongkang and Maluk. The largest city on the island is Sumbawa Besar, but that is a five hour drive from here. The best shopping is actually on Lombok which is the next island to the west.

BALI


Bali, a tropical island in the Indonesian archipelago, is so picturesque and immaculate it could almost be a painted backdrop. It has rice paddies tripping down hillsides like giant steps, volcanoes soaring up through the clouds, dense tropical jungle, long sandy beaches, warm blue water, crashing surf and friendly people who don't just have a culture but actually live it. In Bali spirits come out to play in the moonlight, every night is a festival and even a funeral is an opportunity to have a good time.

Bali Island, the perfect holiday destination for all ages offers something for everyone. This tropical paradise has a unique blend of modern tourist facilities combined with wonderful shopping and a rich past and heritage. The Balinese people are proud of having preserved their unique Hindu culture against the advance of Islam, the dominant religion throughout Indonesia. This is still reflected in day to day life and can be seen in the numerous ceremonies, Balinese festivals and magnificent temples and palaces. Some of the best surfing beaches in the world can be found on the western side of the island whilst conversely the eastern side is a wonderful haven for families, with beautiful white sand beaches and gentle seas.


Bali Island is a shopper's paradise particularly for casual and tailored clothing, locally made jewellery, handicrafts, antiques and artifacts. Leather ware is one of the unexpected local bargains with everything from handbags through to tailor made leather jackets and coats, all at unbelievable prices. In fact, prices are so inexpensive, you're sure to need more room in your suitcase! Try bargaining at the street markets of Kuta, Sanur of Nusa Dua or fixed price shopping at a Denpasar department store. Bali has it all.

For those that want to stay wet, Bali Island has world class scuba diving, snorkelling and wonderful day trips out to Nusa Penida for beach sports and coral viewing.
When the sun sets, the choices are still hard to make - a quiet romantic moon lit dinner or watch the spectacular Balinese Fire Dance or Kecak Dance. For those that want to party, Bali Island has it all with bars, discos and nightclubs.
As a truly international destination attracting visitors from all over the world, restaurants in Bali are extremely cosmopolitan yet inexpensive. Experience not only local delicacies like Nasi Goreng and Sate Campur but also Chinese, Malaysian, Japanese, Italian/European Greek, Moroccan and even Mexican cuisine. We must not forget Bali's wonderful seafood - local lobster at such prices that you will want to keep coming back for more.

For those more culturally inclined, Bali can offer the peace and tranquility of Ubud high in the hills; the spectacular Mother Temple at Besakih; the ancient capital of Bali, Singaraja and the floating palace at Ujung near the pretty beach area of Candi Dasa. The Scenery is nothing less than spectacular. Jungle, picturesque hillside rice terraces and the awesome magnificence of Kintamani Volcano.

The more active, wanting a break from the idyllic beaches, can experience wonderful golf courses in the mountains at Bedugul and beachside at Nusa Dua, the thrill of white water rafting or kayaking down the beautiful Ayung River; mountain cycling amid scenery you will never forget and organized rice paddy and jungle treks to see the side of Bali most tourists never encounter.


Bali Island, a truly international destination, offers every standard of accommodation ranging from charming yet modest bungalow style hotels in lush tropical gardens for the budget minded through to arguably amongst the most exclusive and sophisticated hotels in the world!

TAMANSARI YOGYAKARTA WATER CASTLE

Taman Sari guest house which was then known as Taman Sari Palace is located west of Yogyakarta Palace was built during the reign of Sultan Hamengku Buwana I and completed in the reign of Sultan Hamengku Buwana II. However, the location of Taman Sari Pesanggrahan as a bathing place has been known long before. In the reign of the location of Taman Sari Panembahan Senapati is now better known as Bannerman (springs) Pacethokan. Bannerman was once famous for its large discharge and clear water. Pacethokan has become one of the important considerations for determining the location of the candidate Sultan Palace.

Taman Sari rest house was built after Giyanti Agreement (1755), ie, after the Sultan Hamengku Buwana long involved in disputes and war. The building was intended as a building that can be used to meneteramkan heart, rest and recreation. However, the Taman Sari was also prepared as a means / fort to deal with dangerous situations. In addition, the building is also used for religious facilities. Therefore Peanggrahan Taman Sari is also equipped with a mosque, to be precise in building the Well Gumuling.

Taman Sari name consists of two words, namely parks 'garden planted with flowers' pollen and 'beautiful flower'. Thus, the name of Taman Sari is meant as a name of a park complex that is really wonderful or beautiful.


Two Stories About the Development Version Pesanggrahan Taman Sari


    The first version

In the first version is told that in Mancingan (an area on the south coast of Yogyakarta) there is a freak of an unknown origin. Communities in the area are many who suspect that the person including jinn or forest-dwelling countrymen. People assume that because people are using language not understood by local people. Strange people are then faced with the Sultan Hamengku Buwana II who was then still ruled. Sultan Hamengku Buwana II apparently willing to take that person as a servant. After some time the person can speak Javanese. Based on his testimony he claimed to be Portuguese in the Portuguese dialect of Javanese is often called. The Portuguese were then used as the man who headed the creation of buildings (architect).

Sultan Hamengku Buwana II ordered the person to make a fort. Sultan Hamengku Buwana II apparently very pleased over his handiwork. The person is then given a position as village headman, that person was known as Portuguese or Demat Tegis Demat. Demat Tegis is supposedly ordered to build the Taman Sari Pesanggrahan. Hence also the building Pesanggrahan Taman Sari shows the art of building elements originating from Europe (Portugal).


    Both versions of


According to the second version is told that at a time when a regent who was named Madison raden Rangga Prawirasentika, which has been widely credited to the Sultan Hamengku Buwana I pleaded with him to be freed from paying the local taxes that had been done twice a year. Regent Madison agreed only if there are special requests Sultan Hemngku Buwana I for completeness and grandeur of the palace decoration. Sultan Hamengku Buwana I was granted it.


By Sultan Hamengku Regent Madison Buwana I was ordered to make Sekaten as a complement of gamelan gamelan Sekaten from Surakarta. The gamelan originally amounted to one pair, but because palihan Nagari (1755) divided the orchestra. One for the Sultanate of Yogyakarta and Surakarta one for Kasunanan. In addition, the Sultan Hamengku Buwana I also ordered the Regent Madison to be made jempana 'litter' as a bride vehicle Sultan Hamengku Buwana I.


In 1684 Raden Rangga Prawirasentika told to make bricks and kelengakapannya in preparation for building a indahsebagai gardening means to reassure the Sultan Hamengku Buwana I. Sultan wants it so having just completed a heavy duty (war) which lasted long enough. The exit command is marked with the Sultan Hamengku Buwana sengkalan Memet that reads Rasa Dragon Chess Singles (1684).
