Diversity of fauna in Indonesia is very high this is supported with the land, geographic location and climate conditions. This plus the diversity of plants as a habitat for animals. Forest destruction and the habitat that is home to animals still continues, so too with the hunting, catching, pollution, and others.

Tegal people have their own tea

Tegal Tea (better known as the tea poci; also Slawi tea) is the typical tea Tegal, Indonesia. This special tea aroma and taste quite sepet. This meal is served drinks with sugar and more fitting stone drunk while still warm, slightly hot.

Culture poci tea or moci has become a tradition for Tegal, is due to the growth of the tea factories in Tegal in 1930-an who was evoke tradition. Tea into incentive since the colonial era up to now and has become the local culture.

Kabupaten Tegal indeed have a lot of tea plantations and industries, both large and small, among others, PT. Gunung Slamet whose products include Cap Poci Tea, Tea Bottle Cap, Cap Berko Tea, Tea "Trumpet", Tea "Brand Shoes", Tea "Sosro" and also the supplier of raw materials for the PT. Sinar Sosro with products Sosro Bottle Tea, Fruit Tea, and S-tee and Tebs. Also PT. Naga pole that produces tea and Tang Two Tjatoet Tea, Tea Company "Two Birds" producing Tong Tji.

To meet the demand supply of the tea industry in Tegal, some raw materials shipped from the West is the largest tea production centers in Indonesia. Supply of leaf tea plantation West Java is then processed in factories Tegal into several types of tea. In addition to fragrant jasmine tea (jasmine tea), also produced the type of green tea and black tea.

Tegal tea or often called Slawi tea, became special when served with the hot water in poci gerabah, Poci Tea is served with rock sugar. That makes it become like that because, when served with tea in hot water, which gerabah-permeable pore that react with the tea and cause the characteristic odor. Some like tea, if presented in poci ceramic or porcelain. According to them, in this poci, steaming hot tea detained in ceramic wall so hard that any type of tehnya, the smell will not be damaged.

Gerabah is very unique in its use. If you buy gerabah (poci) for use at home, that do not directly fill it with hot water and tea and then you drink. Gerabah this should be filled with hot water and tea as "rendaman" for 7 days. Change the water and tea every day. This is meant to smell the original clay of the gerabah can be removed with a tea fragrance, so fresh when used heavily to drink.

How do the security, comfort, and quality of the environment around the house I bought?
How potential investments that I can get out of this house?

Housing Location

It is important for you to consider the location of housing as this relates to some things, this is a material consideration you:

Mileage (travel from home to a place). for example: to shopping centers, offices, schools, markets, etc..

Time you must spend for the trip

What kind of transportation through the location of housing (of transport, usually showing the potential development)

Credibility and Porto folio as well as a brief history of travel or housing is being built need to be. Do not until you are in the circumvention of a fraudulent housing developers.

Housing Environment
Here you need to take the time to do the survey and comparisons among the location of housing you want in the habitation . Here are some important things that need to be your attention:

Trees or garden environment (green area). Of course akan environment more comfortable place to stay when you beautiful, not hot, so calm, remember that trees are dense and high barier (barrier) that both of dust pollution.

Wide inlet housing and the width of the road environment, the road that gives you the ease of wide circulation drive, and at least you do not have to worry about your vehicle hit by another vehicle that are passing.

Facilities and Infrastructure support. Housing could be that you do not provide facilities lyrics - supporting facilities such as shopping complex, a fitness center, place of recreation, and other. This can be tolerated if the area around the housing there - a support that meets your needs.

Nice Vihara

At the nice day I went to a Vihara, right on the road, Batu - Malang (Central Java-Indonesia). Truly impressive place where there are Monk and students of the Buddha and also the dedication biksu candidate that does not exist on the other Vihara.

Here are some documents that can be made here:

Estimated Economic Indonesia: 2010

Newspapers in Jakarta this week many proclaim the economic problems in 2010, although the issues of choice of presidential campaigns 2009-2014 (before July). Almost everyone agrees that the program of economic recovery and the general public began to be taken seriously and continuously.

Car sales is estimated to come down from the year 2008 as many as 600,000 to be 300,000. "Now is our optimistic in 2009 car sales figures could reach 400,000 units. This is only back at the position in 2007. Honda began in March have started the production of 1 shif into 2 shif," said Jonfis, after dedication Honda Dealer in Salatiga, Central Java , Monday (26 / 5) malam.Optimisme, said Marketing and Aftersales Service Director of PT Honda Prospect Motor, Jonfis Fandy, look in the mirror on the decline in car sales in 2009 estimated that separah will not be suspected from the beginning.

This data on consumer purchasing power and the automotive industry. Economic condition in Indonesia in 2010 is estimated to not be apart from the global crisis, is even more serious when compared with this year.

According to Martin Panggabean economic observers in Jakarta, Tuesday (17 / 3), the condition is caused by not membaiknya global economy, the more expensive search for funds from the market, as well as termination of employment (PHK) large-scale.

He said, the government should not only discuss the matter of interest rates. But also must anticipate how the expansion of credit, menanggulani PHK and how economic growth in 2010.

Martin cite conditions in the United States. The probability of a depression in the U.S. increased between 20% -30% of economic growth so that the country adidaya akan minus 5% to 7%.

With so much going akan PHK, including in Indonesia. Things like this that need to be anticipated by the government. If economic growth in 2010 only 1% to 2%, the level of PHK more, he said.

In this year, he said, India can be a bit optimistic because the economic growth in the number 4% to 4.5%. However, the problem of global, in developed countries that do not have signs of the crisis will end in 2009.

In addition, in the next year the bank will also be careful pour bad credit due to the expectation the economy. When economy worsened, banks are reluctant to contribute the amount of the loan where the risk of failure to pay (default). The decline in interest rates by Bank Indonesia also will not make banks reduce interest rates tribe.

In addition, the poor economic growth will also impact on the rupiah. Martin says the expectation of the market is estimated at the end of 2009 the exchange rate is estimated to 13,500 per U.S. dollar. Bank Indonesia is optimistic even though the rupiah exchange rate will be improved at the end of the year.

I'm not sure (the exchange rate can go down) because the fund does not enter into the country, but out of funds to the U.S. Bond issue a U.S. $ 2 trillion. This means that each semester U.S. $ 500 billion of which duitnya, he says 60% will be absorbed from outside the country is not in the country, he said.

Meanwhile, the stock and bonds in Indonesia akan flee to Singapore. So that the pressure on the price of financial assets the Indonesian poor. This clearly will not encourage the stronger exchange rate.

Ambalat: Indonesia vs Malaysia

Boundary line has the meaning illusion that separates two or more regions or political jurisdiction such as country, state or territory subnasional. Therefore, the problem of the border between the 2 countries always cause tension and political conflict that brought the cultural issues the two countries. A problem that must be completed with basic mutual respect of sovereignty of each country. Moreover, Indonesia is a country of diversity of peoples and cultures, from different ethnic spread in the whole archipelago of islands highway. The period of the triumph of the Kingdom of Hindhu, Islam, Dutch Colonial, occupation of Japan, the UK and allies, beginning with the struggle toward independence proklamator: Soekarno and M. Hatta.

This means there is long history here that should be re-examined by the two countries Indonesia and Malaysia. Since the beginning, the government of Indonesia to see the border with Malaysia, is the region since the declaration of Malaysia Map 1979. This map is very controversial because Malaysia was in violation of many state boundaries lainnya.Indonesia, Filiphina, Thailand, Singapore, People's Republic of China, Vietnam, and Brunei Darussalam (British colony).

As an archipelago with a coastline of 81,900 kilometers, has a region with many countries border the border land (continent) and sea (maritime). Delivery of the Republic of Indonesia land area directly adjacent to the countries Malaysia, Papua New Guinea (PNG) and Timor Leste. Land border in three Indonesian islands, the four Provinces, and 15 districts / cities which have their respective characteristics of the border is different. Similarly, the neighboring countries that berbatasannya good if the condition is reviewed in terms of social, economic, political and cultural. Meanwhile, the Indonesian sea borders with 10 countries, namely India, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Republic of Palau, Australia, Timor Leste and Papua New Guinea (PNG). Border region in general form of the sea islands terluar number of islands and includes 92 small islands. Some of them still need regulation and a more management-intensive because of the problems have a tendency to neighboring countries.

Most of the border region in Indonesia is still a remote area with facilities and social and economic infrastructure that is still very limited. Ago in the view that the border is an area that needs to monitored closely into hiding because the rebels have made the paradigm of development more border security on the approach of the kesejahteraan. As a border region in some areas were not left out by the dynamics of community development and so on generally poor and many are oriented to the neighboring countries. On the other hand, one of the neighboring countries, namely Malaysia, have built the major growth corridor and perbatasannya through various economic and trade activities that have benefit for the government and masyarakatnya.  Likewise Timor-Leste, not closed the possibility in the future within a relatively short, through the use of international support, will become a rapidly developing country, so if it is not anticipated that there NTT province on the border with the country will remain behind.
