Opini (Traffic Bumps)

TRAFFIC BUMPS

The facilities along   the street, where is it becomes a public necessities very important thing in our life, special for people that spend their time to work out side.  Almost people that work out need that in order they can rich their office in effective time.  Such as the traffic light’s rule, the policemen that have a responsibility to manage the traffic along the street and they can be avoided from the traffic jam.

Talk about street’s rules, some of us always give negative comment about that, because now days the rules do not run well again. Adding that problem, sometimes the user in the street also do not obey the rules existence. So we can’t blame others before we realized in our self to appreciate that rules. Seems like the topic that I want to discuss about the making of traffic bumps along Hankam’s street until Cijantung’s street. In my observation there are sixty four traffic bumps along there. That makes some people give their comment even it is pro or contra. In this time I would like to explore my opinion about that.

First of all the making of traffic bumps that out over of needed, actually there are positive comments , it allowed me to be more carefully and still run in the middle of speedy. It also makes us always keep away with another transportation in order we can be avoided from accident, beside that it try us to be more a patient person and must be a wisdom person when we are driving on there. Not only positive thing, it also has negative comment because the space of the traffic bumps is not same, sometimes the space nearest and rarely far away between each other. It also does not have a stripe mark above it, so sometimes I can’t see it and I almost fall down from my motorcycle. Actually I always ride my motorcycle every pass that way. So it is better if it is given mark above the traffic bump and the space must be same from one to another and surely must decrease the sum of it. It also needs more carried from the major and the citizens around there in order the rules can run well and the user can feel comfort, still keep driving well and have to obey the rules that is given.

feature ( curug cilember-bogor)

Waterfall Curug cilember - Bogor

The view of nature that still can we see without pollution or other things which disturb the natural existence.

Curug Cilember is one out of interesting place also as a tourism place for people that have willing to see the beautifulness of nature does. It is located in Bogor-Jawa Barat.

Before that, I want to share why it is named Curug Cilember. The name of Curug become times ago there were so many big trees that grew, but running the time that lost and no one people who know it , some of them said it related of mystics but it can be a barrier to lost our interested to visit there. The fact said that in work days there are almost 100-150 visitors while if weekend and holiday the visitors increase until 1000 people. It means that a devote develops day by day.

There are so many views that can we see, such as some long rivers with clear water where is it contains of various fishes and flow clear water from the highest waterfall, some big trees seem like a jungle that grow around there and still have a strong pole and green enough leaves sprout up  and one thing which has an interesting catch is waterfall, from the highest waterfall flow to the seven rivers that disperse all over there, where is to rich there, we have to walk passing big stones, long river and the curving street about seven until ten kilometers. In the middle on the way we can find monkey groups that still have lived since years ago. Actually it has a history, because in there, that is an artifact of big stone which exist not far from there that has some written. There are about 20-30 monkey, from the young until the old one and do not be afraid about that because they are tame and very nice. Not only that, if you are crazy about butterfly you can visit the butterfly’s park that is located in the middle of the Curug’s area. There are many kinds of butterfly and we can see the beautiful color of them. This is special for butterfly , they are in the big stable with beautiful of butterfly graph. It looks very interested to go onto that

Another say from Curug Cilember is Curug Sevent Rivers. It can be our choice to spend holiday, like me and my friend did last months ago. We spent our holiday because our hobby are same that is we like to hiking also like a thing that related with view and water, finally we decided to go to Curug Cilember Bogor as a right our choice. 

To get there, there are some alternatives, first you can go by train and arrive in the Bogor’s station then continue with public transportation, the journey needs about one till two hours and the street has many curves so be careful because you can get confused or by our private transportation, you just pass the Raya Bogor’s street and go ahead, if you arrive in the Bogor area you just look and follow the signal until you find the written Di Wana Wisata Curug Cilember. The journey enough far, that’s why we prepare some important things to bring, beside that you can follow this, likes bring umbrella if it is raining , carpet if we out of breath to take a rest some moment, bring some foods by self because if we buy in there the fees more expensive than comment fees, also it more hygienist, do not forget to bring bottles of water for we have to walk further, and the last one we must bring another clothes, because I’m sure that if we arrived there we play in the waterfall and we get wet, in order we do not get cold after that.

Not only things that we need, we also have to prepare fees to get there. It depends of our transportation, if we take by train we just need no more than Rp 50.000,- but if we go by our own transportation we just prepare it well and do not forget to fill soil enough. Besides that we also pay the entrance ticket, in order we can turn to the waterfall. It needs Rp 12.000 for adult and Rp 8.000 for children. So, over all we just need fees more than Rp 200.000, it is enough cheeps to see a wonderful view in there. We can get amazing experience and further knowledge to always keep and thrive on our beautiful nature. Enjoy it!!!

Meat’s distribution in Eid dul Adha

Meat’s distribution in Eid dul Adha

            Eid dul Adha is a great day in Muslim. It happens once a year and in this year it happen at Friday, on October, 26^th 2012. Almost Muslim’s people celebrate that, also in my neighborhood.  There are six cows and nine goats. Each cows and goats came from different place, so they have different characteristics. Such as the cows that come from original Java have black skin and very big and almost the goats are bought around my neighborhood by the Eid dul Adha’s committee. It had done at Masjid Al-Muhajirin at Cimanggis-Depok.

            Butchering the meat did at Saturday, if it did at Friday it was afraid the time was not enough because that was a Friday’s pray. At Saturday the butchering ran, it starts at 07.00 a.m until 10.00 a.m, also there were so many people around the place enthusiasm to look the slaughter in the field, after all of cows and goats already were slaughtered, the committee already process and divide the meats  to almost 400 packages.

            At 11.00 is time to spread the meat’s package. That is spread to Duafa’s people , traveling salesman and another people that have a right to receive it. The meat’s distribution had done better than last year, because the committee had arranged the management very well. Even though there was still a little incident, it can be handled soon and the committee moved very fast. First, committee spread the tickets to each people than they stand in line and wait their turn to get that meat patiently. Beside that there was a pacification that helped it.   The distribution run well, so it does not need long time, just need almost two hours until all of them already get it. It finished at 12.00 a.m and the committee clean the place as soon as possible because it will be used to Zuhur’s pray.
