Bahasa Indonesia/ Learn Indonesian language

One of most important when you will visit another country is to learn their language...Normally the local people will more appreciate and more welcome if we talk using their language...

The Indonesian name for the language is Bahasa Indonesia (lit. "the language of Indonesia"). This term can sometimes still be found in written or spoken English. In addition, the language is sometimes referred to as "Bahasa" by English speakers, though this simply means "language" and thus is also not an official term for the Indonesian language.

Indonesian people are very friendly. Eventhoug they will always come up to you in the street and try to practice their English but it is good if you can learn just a little of their language.

Indonesian language is very easy to learn ( it is not because i'm Indonesian he..he but if compare to the danish language is really more easy to learn Indonesia )


Here is a simple word " magic" word you can used when you visit Indonesia......-) enjoy !

English Bahasa Indonesia

Thank you. Terima kasih
Good morgen. Selamat pagi
Good afternoon Selamat siang ( 10 am - 2 pm ) selamat sore ( 2-6 pm)
Good night Selamat malam ( 7 pm - 12 pm )
I saya
You Anda or kamu
kamu ( you can said kamu if you already know them well )
I'm hungry saya lapar
I'm tired saya cape
May I ask you something ? Boleh saya bertanya ?
I'm glad saya senang.
I want saya ingin

In Indonesia is not common to said their name directly ( unless you already know them well ) normally we still called them in formal to show our respect. Dont get surprised to heard them called you Mister (for man )or madam ( for women). That is the way they are show you the respect

we called them " Ibu " women who more older. or " Mbak " to the women more younger than ibu.

For men we called the same " bapak ".

Kawah putih ciwidey/white crater Indonesia

This time i will take you to my home town Bandung- Indonesia. When i was living in Indonesia i living in city called Bandung. In the south of bandung there is place called " kawah Putih" it is meant " White crater " . Kawah putih is one of the most beautiful crater in Java island.

I'm lucky to live near to kawah putih. I have been there many time . I'm glad that i will trip to Indonesia again this summer and i will be happy to take my husband and my kids to this beautiful place.

One stop place.

In the same area with " Kawah putih " there is another crater called "Ranca upas" eventhoug is not as spectakuler like kawah putih but may be is nothing to lose to visit both of them in the same time right ?
Another place is what we called " lake situ patenggang" with amazing - tea plantation. it’s nice since there’s a tea laboratory so if you are interesting with kind of tea, can get some useful info there.

another ting is strawberry garden. Eventhoug we have our own strawberry garden her in Denmark but i'm sure my kids will be happy to picking strawberry on the way to white crater.

Thanks again to Debby for let me have your picture to be put in my blog...love you...

Lombok- Indonesia

If you are looking for place which are more natural, uncrowded and undeveloped environment then LOmbok is the answer. Lombok is 25 miles from BALI.





which attract travelers who come to enjoy its relaxed pace and the opportunity to explore the island's unspoiled but spectacular natural beauty.

1] Lombok has retained a more natural, uncrowded and undeveloped environment, The most-developed center of tourism is Senggigi, spread in a 30-kilometer strip along the coastal road north of Mataram, while backpackers congregate in the Gili Islands off the west coast. Other popular tourist destinations include Kuta [2](distinctly different from Kuta, Bali) where surfing is considered some of the best in the world by leading surfing magazines. The Kuta area is also famous for its beautiful, untouched beaches.

Local Sasak children
While the area may be considered economically depressed by First World standards, the island is fertile, has sufficient rainfall in most areas for agriculture, and possesses a variety of climate zones. Consequently, food in abundant quantity and variety is available inexpensively at local farmer's markets. A family of 4 can eat rice, vegetables, and fruit for as little as US$0.50. Even though a family income may be as small as US$1.00 per day from fishing or farming, many families are able to live a happy and productive live on astonishingly small incomes.

( This is a good place for holiday in this Finance situation ! )

Legoland-Billund Denmark

Legoland in Billund, Denmark, is the largest and the oldest. It is divided in 9 different worlds: Duplo Land, ImaginationZone, LEGOREDO Town, Adventure Land, Miniland, Pirate Land, Lego City, Knights Kingdom and Viking land. The park opened in 1968 .

The parks are split into various areas, which are common between the parks, for example all the parks include a Lego miniland, a model village which includes models of landmarks and scenes from around the world made from millions of genuine Lego bricks.

Parks are marketed to young families, and although they have a number of roller coasters, they are not as numerous or as extreme as those in other parks, and there is a greater emphasis on rides suitable for young children.

Another popular ride is the Driving school, in which children can drive small electric cars made to look like Lego cars around a small road network, after which they gain a mock driving license. The exact set of rides varies between parks, although as with the Disney parks there is some overlap.

Other common features include a Lego Mindstorms centre (fun-based learning), Duplo Gardens (for smaller children), Driving area (including attractions such as Driving school, Boating school, Ballooning school and Fire Academy), My Town, Wild Woods and Knight's Kingdom.The parks' rides are all Lego themed; many are made to appear as if they are built out of Lego bricks. They tend to be based on one particular line of Lego: for example, a popular ride at all four parks is the Dragon Coaster, which is loosely based on the Knights' Kingdom Lego sets.

My little baby when she is 1 year stading in font of the city built with Lego bricks

You can built your own kingdom with the lego bricks

If you want to come to Legoland in Denmark make sure you buy the ticket for 2 days ( there is a discount for that ) since is not possible for you to visit all the place within one day especially in peak season...

Candi prambanan / Prambanan Temple

Prambanan is the largest Hindu temple compound in Central Java in Indonesia, located approximately 18 km east of Yogyakarta.[1]
The temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the largest Hindu temples in south-east Asia. It is characterised by its tall and pointed architecture, typical of Hindu temple architecture, and by the 47m high central building inside a large complex of individual temples.

It was built around 850 CE by either Rakai Pikatan, king of the second Mataram dynasty, or Balitung Maha Sambu, during the Sanjaya Dynasty. Not long after its construction, the temple was abandoned and began to deteriorate. Reconstruction of the compound began in 1918. The main building was completed in around 1953. Much of the original stonework has been stolen and reused at remote construction sites. A temple will only be rebuilt if at least 75% of the original stones are available, and therefore only the foundation walls of most of the smaller shrines are now visible and with no plans for their reconstruction.

The temple was damaged during the earthquake in Java in 2006. Early photos suggest that although the complex appears to be structurally intact, damage is significant. Large pieces of debris, including carvings, were scattered over the ground.

I have been there more than 3 time and i will never feel boring to come again someday... That was me who in the picture above ! Enjoy !

It is the southernmost of the Nordic countries. The mainland is bordered to the south by Germany. Denmark is southwest of Sweden and south of Norway. Denmark borders both the Baltic and the North Sea. The country consists of a large peninsula, Jutland (Jylland) and many islands, most notably Zealand (Sjælland), Funen (Fyn), Vendsyssel-Thy, Lolland, Falster and Bornholm as well as hundreds of minor islands often referred to as the Danish Archipelago. Denmark has long controlled the approach to the Baltic Sea, and these waters are also known as the Danish straits.
Denmark is the second-most visited destination in Scandinavia, after Sweden, with 4.7 million visitors in 2007.[2]
Denmark is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system of government. Denmark has a state-level government and local governments in 98 municipalities. Denmark has been a member of the European Union (formerly European Economic Community) since 1973, although it has not joined the Eurozone, a currency union among the European Union member states that have adopted the euro as their sole official currency. Denmark is a founding member of NATO and the OECD.
Denmark, with a free market capitalist economy, and a large welfare state,[3] ranks according to one measure as having the world's highest level of income equality.
