There is a mini market (Circle K) in front of this beach which sells some meals, snacks, hot drinks, cake, etc with low price. Bringing dog and doing jogging in this place is an interesting idea to do.
Sometimes there is a party in this beach at the night, and some hotels which located in front of this beach provide many tables for couples to have romantic dinner.
'We used to live in the street, facing the reality of this harmful world The severity world we faced shape our personality We enjoyed what we used to be, because we did not now about the world which owned by the son of the rich We thought we were rich, rich in stupidity, rich in sorrow, rich in hopeless but we enjoyed We lived no rules. had nobody, criminal, had no school but we enjoyed punched, outcast, marginalized, no affection but we enjoyed'

This social rehabilitation rehabilitates many unlucky kids who used to live in the street. most of this kids couldnt even do read, some of them dropped out by their school because of their attitude and they had no money to pay the school fee. Street shapes their personality and attitude. Social department of police got them and put them in this social rehabilitation. They have parents but their parents didnt teach so well their sons. Some of their parents dont have money to pay their school, some of them dont care because got problems with law, some of them live in the red district.

Once upon a day i met with my childhood to play billiard, we had conversations about many things. He is a good friend for me, we used to go to the mosque together on fasting month, 2 kids wear moslem's clothes and go to the mosque, even at the night and sounded like i was a good moslem at that time :D .
Playing fireworks after finished our pray in the night with the other kids, ran away to every side of our housing.
We have never been in the same school until now, we always study in the different place. and at that time when we were met each other to play billiard he told me about his activity that he was doing. He told me about aiesec, and he invited me to go to one of EP's farewell party in a coffee shop in Malang. And that was the beginning of my aiesec life.
I made many new friends from other countries and we had a lot of history i improved my native speaking everyday after.
at the first time aiesec was a bad organization for me because i was always hearing exchange participant's complains. And now i realize that aiesec is a very good organization, because it's like a platform where we can learn and practice more about living diversity and organizing something.
The good or bad aiesec can be seen from the different point of view. It really depends on the members who are taking their role in aiesec.
aiesec is like the life for some members but sometimes it's only an organization which able to developing and helping their long term target.
After my childhood told me and introduced me about aiesec i was interested and i joined aiesec on november 2010. Went arround indonesia with new friends and sharing and sometimes we had a different way of thinking or even fight.
This organization have been showing to me how to conduct this life to get the best result at the end, what the world exactly needs.
It changes my way in choosing my goals, my way of thinking, my romance story, and opportunity.
It supports me to know more about my culture about my responsibility as an indonesian, how to be good in world's eye.
One more new tourism place to visit in east java, located in Jember. This place doesnt have any hotel, there are only cottages which cost you for 350.000rupiahs for one cottage. Facilitated by air conditioner. 2 single bed rooms (you can use one for two persons), bathup, shower, and it's comfort enough. Another type of cottage costs 450.000rupiahs, made by wood, and good for couple. There is some cottages cost 250.000rupiahs, with 2 big single beds, but the bathroom definitely not so good as the other.
Last time i went to this place i was being in love with someone after about 6 months without doing anything with any girl. and there was a secret story that i couldnt tell to anybody :D cheers!!
there is a place here where you can see the sunrise as well and get all the views of Papuma Capes.
place to see the sunrise(but it was lil bit foggy)
There are not so many people know this Papuma Capes, there is no good restaurant nearby. But there are some warung sell grilled fishes and some other kinds of indonesian foods which have cheap price. :)
If you got bored you can enjoy the adventure package which offered by the administrator of this cape like hiking the hill, snorkeling and seeing around the capes with the boat.
There is a place where you can enjoy the evening there with your friends or just sitting and hugging your beloved who sit in front of you

it s gonna be so romantic if you and your partner sit on this rock enjoying the evening
There was a big gathering event of Volkswagen community in this island and that was my reason why did i go to this place which took 15hours trip with ferry from 'tanjung priok harbour' in jakarta.
This island is located in Sumatra and there is another beautiful island next to this island but i didnt go there, because i need to spend 5 more crazy hours on the ferry to get there.
there were about 300 Volkswagen cars coming to this island to attended the anniversary of Bangka Volkswagen Community.
When we were there we did touring around with few police cars which made the road so exclusively for us, charity program-helping poor people in rural areas, went to mayor's home office to have farewell party before we left.
It's really easy for you to eat fish with the cheap price here, and one more thing that i didnt expect before i arrived in this island was so many beautiful and pretty girls in this island even tough this island is not so developed by the goverment.
There were many tourism potential place to visit, but the temperature in this island was so hot at the day. it was around 38'C. The center of the city wasnt so developed. It was seem so easy to find a girl to make out with if you brave enough to ask them for dating or even directly make out :D
There was a beach which developed by the hotel which located in front of it named parai beach, i went there when i was in my last day, and i was really enjoyed by this beach and view.
parai beach
There is parai hotel and resort in front of this beach, it costs arround 400thousands rupiahs for a nigth with Television, air conditioner, and hot water. i forget about the price of the other room.
You can enjoy live performance of local singer and piano player in the morning during your breakfast time, interesting right? :D
still in parai beach

Bromo mountain is located about 2,5 hours from the center of malang by car. This mountain has really beautiful panorama when there is no fog. There are 2 temples near to this mountain and there is an ethnic group named 'suku tengger' who have been living in this area since hundred years ago. To get the best view from your camera you need to go on this mountain in the early morning and when there is no fog. When rainy days come it's gonna be really hard for you to see the best panorama here because of fog.
But there is another obstacle that you need to pass, which is sands. When summer days come it's impossible for you to cross the sandy road to go to this mountain with double axle car, it means you need to rent a jeep or motocross to cross the sands.
There are some food sellers, villas, rooms, money machine, restaurants, that you can find in the area which named 'penanjakan'.In this area you can get the picture of all over bromo mountain.
stop for a while to see rice field terraces before bromo mountain
it's possible for you to see this grassland before arrive in bromo mountain
This island shows how life is, which means if you wanna have or get the beautiful life you need to make efforts and take pains.
It takes about 2 hrs to get to the beach named ‘Sendang biru’ from the center of Malang by motorcycle or car. After you arrive in this beach where the boat which able to take you to across the sea about 10 mins to this ‘Sempu Island’ you need to pay 100.000rupiahs(round trip) for the boat, it means more people less money to spend because you can split the boat charge. This boat is able to contain less than 13 persons, it means 100.000rupiahs divided by 13 equal less than a dollar, imagine how cheap it is.
You will definitely find no food court or any other shop who sells a food nor a water source in this sempu island, so before you start to go and cross the sea to get in this island you need to bring your own nachos, bacon sandwich or other foods that you like to eat and few bottles of water.
To make your night so much fun in this Island you can buy fish before you take the boat. There is a traditional market which provides and sells many kinds of sea fish nearby.
To get to the beach inside this sempu island you need to across the jungle about 2,5 hrs, depends on the mud condition. So hard to across the jungle with a big backpack. But it doesn’t matter, you will see the paradise after :D
When rainy days come it's not possible for you to get to this beach inside sempu less than 4 hours from the area where the boat drops you, because the mud in the jungle is usually about 30cm deep during that time.
you are not allow to start to cross the jungle at the night, so you need to be in 'sendang biru beach' in the morning and start your adventure in the jungle at 10am(best hour to start the trip)
there is a probability to see the monkeys, tiger, panther, snakes in the jungle since this island is a conservation area for plants and animals. But dont worry about this scary animal, because they are usually staying so far away from the main path to the beach inside sempu island (named 'segara anakan').
But you need to pay attention to your stuffs when you already arrive in segara anakan, monkeys so often come to stealth and take your stuffs or foods away when you are swimming and not paying attention.
such a proper adventure, isnt it? :D
on the boat
Semut beach (the area where the boat drops the passengers from sendang biru beach)
this picture shows when we had just arrived in sempu island but the mud was really bad and i couldnt see which way to go at all, so we called the guide to show the way. at that time i didnt really know what to do because the girls who joined us look so desperate and scared to cross this jungle
indian ocean (need to climb the highest rock in this sempu island to get this view)
crossing the jungle
there is a big hole where the sea water from behind the cliff comes inside
it s a warning for you, DONT EVER STAND OR EVEN TRY TO SIT AT THAT HOLE !!
when i was standing at that hole there was big wave hit me and i got so many wounds, but i was so lucky person even i got a lot of wounds because there was a man died when he was standing there (the same with my case).
in the evening
sands, sea water, surrounds by the coral, and feel like private swimming pool ! :D
