UNDERWATER FLAG HOISTING CEREMONY IN LAMPUNG, INDONESIA

 UNDERWATER FLAG HOISTING CEREMONY IN LAMPUNG, INDONESIA HAPPY 75TH ANNIVERSARY, INDONESIA! On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of Indonesia, my beloved homeland, I joined my diving club in Lampung to conduct flag-hoisting ceremony underwater. Twenty members of Corona Diving Club (yes, the name is CORONA J) Lampung chapter has decided to do it at Tanjung Putus Island, Lampung. This place is an amazing snorkeling and diving spot so many of us were super excited. It took us around 1.5 hours boat ride from Puri Gading...

WW: Klara Beach, Lampung

How I miss going to the beach! Now that we are implementing social distancing and independent isolation in the attempt of curbing Corona virus outbreak, we took the liberty to stay at home and try to be as productive as can be. For traveling lovers like us, it is quite painful to stay at home for quite some times. But for the benefit of our very own health and safety, as well as others, we dutifully stay at home and implement distance learning as well as work from home. Nevertheless, with the extra time we have, I try to manage the photos...

Back to Tegal Mas Island, Lampung

Snorkelling time! Snorkeling time! It becomes sort of a tradition during Lebaran Day break for us to go to the beach. Or in our case, to the island. The first day of Lebaran is always filled with family gatherings as well as visiting the graves of deceased family.  Not only one or two, but we might visit 4 - 5 houses as well as graves. It was fun but at the same time tiring. But again, Lebaran Day is only once a year and it worth a celebration! Not to mention the food! Oh my, glorious food so rich and delicious and sometimes it's only...

WW: Launching of Lampung Krakatau Festival 2018

I was joining the launching of Lampung Krakatau Festival 2018 last week, held in Soesilo Soedarman Hall, Ministry of Tourism of Indonesia.  It feels great to be back home and directly involved in the preparation of one of the most colourful Festivals in Indonesia.  I was impressed by the beauty of Lampung being displayed in various videos, photos, and live entertainment. It all brings back such great memories I have when I was a kid and being raised in Lampung. The Festival was officially launched but the Minister for...

Gearing Up for Lampung Krakatau Festival 2018

"Ready?" That smiley face turned to me as I stood bravely at the end of the boat. "We're finally here!" I cried in my heart. The wave was strong but the sea breeze gently touched my face.  The sun kissed my skin in a relaxing mood. My diving gear was all set, oxygen tank was full and my cameras were already, but I couldn't take my eyes off the vista in front of me.  Afar, Mount Krakatua and Anak Krakatua (Anak means child in bahasa Indonesia) stood tall and proud, hugged by the fluffy cloud. We both back rolled to the inviting deep...

My Beloved Lampung - The Treasure of Sumatera

"Indah, tell me where is that diving location you've talked about in your blog. Is that your hometown?" One of my dear friends startled me with her questions in the middle of our meeting at the UN Headquarters here in New York City. Apparently she just read some posts about my diving trip in Tegal Island, Lampung, I made years ago. One of the remedies I took whenever I miss my beloved hometown. Put all those photos and pour my heart out in the stories. Longing soulfully for my home. Lampung. On another occasion, I have more friends cornering...
