Selecting the ideal house

Questions that you often think about when buying a home:

Housing which is good and suitable for me?
Is the money I've spend commensurate with the quality that I get home?

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)

Housing Developer

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.

Design a comfortable housing environment and better, showing the seriousness of the developer in maintaining the quality of housing offered. Usually also with the direct effect of high house prices.

House Design

Factor to consider is whether the building design and interior design exterior design of the house, look in the spatial home, area / area of, the house looks. That need to be concerned are:

* Note the wide each room (you can arrange with the lavish interior of the room).
* The front of the house (you can make a house appear unique, interesting and represents your identity).
* Ease in doing periodic maintenance of the building interior and exterior of your home.

Quality of Building Materials

Quality of building materials into consideration as the quality that you will also provide good durability and comfortable in the home, including exterior building for quality building materials will directly affect the price of the house. that need to be concerned:

* Note the material that became the standard in the technical specifications in the architectural design / architecture design, such as: paint the walls, sanitary, ceramic, tile, roof construction, etc..

Facilities Investment

Of course the house is a good means of investment, in the long term can provide security for your financial strength, the only weakness is the nature of liquidity. Selling a house is not easy and can not be fast. While home building has a design (design of interior & exterior design) and other advantages.

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.

Recognize closer of "tea"

For me, tea is introduced by the rural communities of practice is always to provide the family on the table, each event, the morning / afternoon / night, or at each visit. I do not know the factors, the community where I live, is like drinking tea. Is this related to the geographic or may be a culture?

Following the history, Chinese have been drinking tea for 5,000 years. Origin in the first tea is still a legend. The most famous legend is the story of the Emperor Shen Nung (pronounced 'Shay-Nung'). By the discovery of tea has not placed exactly in history, namely in the year 2737 BC.During thousands of years, the Chinese drink tea for health and enjoyment. No one knows what causes they are interested in green and shiny leaves of Camellia sinensis, but the popular legends can give knowledge to us.

Legends of India with the discovery of tea monk Budhidharma. The cowl is very tired after the period of exile for 7 years. In the pains he chew some leaves that grow nearby, and with a refreshing back-off. India currently the largest tea producer in the world, but there is no historical record of tea in India before the ninth century teens. Experiment of Budhidharma chewing tea did not spread to the general public at the time.

Tea is not native of Japan, the mythology is not able to give an explanation of tea in Japan. Reality is less diverse: in the beginning of the ninth century, a monk from Japan who roam from home, called Dengyo Daishi bring tea seeds of plants from China.

According to the legend, Shen Nong examine the effect of healing perdu hundreds of plants that grow wild. Finally, he wrote that knowledge he has collected into a book "Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing". In the book indicated that the Shen Nong is a herbal tea and in accordance with the note in the history, initially only be drunk as tea by the Chinese herbal. At the beginning of Zhou Dynasty (1046-771 BC) began to enter the palace to the kingdom and establish a ritual drink tea.

Tang Dynasty is not only a triumph of the era of ancient China in the fields of economy, science, culture and social, but it is also the peak of China's tea culture. Oblige the emperor to the prefecture / autonomous authorities that the tea plantations have to provide a "tribute tea". Dedication / tribute must be submitted before the Cing Bing / Qing Ming (5 April), so the tea during the Cing Bing can be consumed by the family kingdom.

Inspired by the idea of harmony Khonghucu, Buddhis principle about the teachings , Taoism sincere about the relationship between man and the universe, Lu Yu found that drinking tea is a method of increasing spirituality. Cultural regeneration occurs during the last Qing dynasty (read: China, 1644-1922) through the pull-tearoom. The tradition of the bureaucrats, to entertain foreign guests with the tea, finally has an impact that drinking tea has spread throughout the world.

In the early seventh century traders from the bowels of the nation Dutch and Portuguese first introduced tea to Europe. Portuguese merchants to send ships to the ports of China, Macau, while Dutch traders took him from Indonesia to Europe

This problem seems to be cultural motivation for the batik industry and to re-explore the cultural heritage of this nation. This trend as well as the beauty of batik to the people of Indonesia and other countries. From ancient batik batik trendy to riot in the capital, Jakarta. Here the children found many young parents to travel with the use of batik. Batik is identical with the formal clothes, can now be used in a variety of events.

For woman traveler

Women and you are still worried that traveling alone? What you worry? Security problem?

Now many women to travel long distances alone, either for business trip or just for fun-loving. Although the reason women are generally the same way with men, women really need to give extra attention on a few things, about issues of security and cultural issues. But all of that can be overcome by taking alternative steps.

For security reasons, as well as budget and comfort, a way must be planned every step, from the packaging to the selection room hotel. American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) provides the following tips for women who want to travel alone.

You should not dressed in tight or open part of the body in order to avoid unnecessary attention.

At the Hotel
When entering the hotel, the staff will look often associated with the guests and monitor each of the hotel entrance and exit. Ask if there are officers who are willing to escort you to your room when you enter the hotel at night. Ask for a room on the top floor, near the lift, but far from the emergency door, stairs, and all kinds of renovation work. Never accept a room if the name of the hotel or your room number with a voice loud.

While the front desk, take a business card the hotel (the name, address, and phone number) and keep the card. When entering a room, make sure the door have a place to tout a chain and latch (deadbolt). If no, do not ever open the door for people who do not know you.

Photo above is a photo made with a wood camera, pinhole camera is called exactly. A next-generation camera that is quite old because the pinhole camera is the first generation in the history of development of the modern camera. You may not believe, and still think that the image is created with a modern camera like this that is known now.

Therefore I want to share the story of the pinhole camera, because I think that is good for the development of creativity, especially for a child. While the children take a weekend away, we can introduce the so-called pinhole camera. Because you can introduce the basic science of physics, chemistry and art and creativity. So not a bad thing to teach children about creativity. Like when I create the image at the end of my days with friends in a place in the solo tour (central Java-Indonesia). I even have friends who ask for the photo in the print size for accessories in the house. But have not love me the request.

Well, the photographs below are a few illustrasi about making pinhole camera out of the cans and wood.

Simple is not it? You just set up cans, paper image (BW), chemistry, scissors, needle, and a black cat. Search tin with the appropriate paper size, and then make a precise hole diameter cans, use the tool support, and ready aluminum foil and use a needle hole and then paste in the hole of tin. The following steps to prepare darkroom, chemistry (there are 3 types, namely developer, fixer, stop bath), and the lamp.

Once all is ready, input images into the cans, paper check that has the emulsion facing hole and tins are close to safety. Looking for a simple object, place the cans in front of the camera form the corner and wait for a few seconds, this requires testing many times. Bring to room dark, input paper to the developer, fixer and stop bath sequentially, and see the results.

I am sure you are still confused with my explanation, so please you search about reference the dark room and the pinhole camera. Perform testing time and time again and discover the distinctive sensation you will be curious to know the results. I hope this is useful knowledge for your child and find science in the holiday week end.

Bamboo houses, rice fields into the atmosphere by the additional houses to eat. Even cafes shall not participate in presenting the food-food area, select your stay with your taste. Want a spicy, salty or sweet, all there is. This tour even quite advanced because almost every region now has a special area that typically sell food.

Internet Culture

2000 is the era of the internet world in the world, except in Indonesia, not as one of the largest internet user of the world.

There is a kind of cultural formation of a new era in all digital now, laptops are becoming the default mandatory for everyone who wants to appear in fashion shows and a new style of culture.

If you ask every user on the internet if they know Face Book? So the answer is almost certainly yes. Site created by Mark Zuckerberg and launched since 4 February 2004 this is a trend in almost all dunia. Social networking sites is that the existence of friction in the era before Friendster.


This new reality of a new world which is very plastic, who open the borders of the state, space and time, to open the room's privacy, offering a new model of communication, as well as convenience-ease of the danger and the threat of internet criminals. Opportunities and the knowledge that without such a limit how Wikipedia, Google, yahoo, Technorati, Wordpress and advertising companies compete dollar offer for all who can benefit from the internet. And the country maintain computer systems, banks, the battle against hackers, and scientists-scientists compete to create innovative technology, cultural and even write a monograph about this new world.

And who can escape the internet culture? Or where there are villages that have not recognize the internet? I think unless there is no place that really is not about the technology, once any such hand phone.

The world has folded, as Indonesia philosopher said Amir Yasraf Pialang.

Tourism the start of Mount Merapi lava issued a few cold years ago.

Visit Indonesia

Have you visited to Indonesia? or Jakarta?
Indonesia is a country that is unique and interesting cultural and sociological issues. Many scientists, researchers and artists, who then lived in Indonesia because of various case. A region that is not enough just learned from reading it, magazines, books, media or information only. As the foreign media always give negative news about Indonesia, such as for example the issue of terror. Or news about politics and human rights that often occur in Indonesia. But it is o.k., every media can write anything about Indonesia, and I do not want to affect the view is an experience without the other unless you want to find out himself.

Basically Indonesia is a big country that consists of thousands of islands, hundreds of languages and dozens of tribes or ethnic. Indeed, many of which are not evenly island areas, especially in the eastern part of Indonesia. However, the wealth of nature has created a lot of European countries and attracted colonial era since the kingdom first. The long occupation by the Dutch is enough to affect the nation's colonial mentality until now. Moreover, the Netherlands is able to cover debt and debt-to build Amsterdam's incomes in Indonesia.

However, adequate attention is the nation of Indonesia forgiving and now known as the nation's fight for democracy on the level of the community. Unlike other countries, which is always said about human rights and democracy, but they also are not compliance. Currently, Indonesia is seen as the strength of new asia are still asleep. Nation of workers who have a workforce spread across the world. Nation's agricultural and marine tribe people have to deliver various parts of the world. Nations that are building communities to grow into a nation that is completely independent.

I hope you have a different challenge to come to Indonesia and that Indonesia does not know who made such as foreign media.
