BEAUTIFUL SEENS IN MANINJAU

 

Jungle Trek to Lake Maninjau
Lake Maninjau is a gorgeous blue lake close to Bukittinggi, and well worth a visit. Anyone who has done this tour has loved it, and when you do it, you will share the same opinion I'm sure! Its a mix of culture as well as nature with a nice walk into the jungle where its quiet, spending some time up close to nature. The highlight of this trek is the night at Ana's homestay. Its a simple dwelling in the jungle, that is economical and eco-friendly, made only from wood. A fresh water stream in the mandi (bathroom) area is the perfect way to get clean! There is no electricity so dont forget your torch! You are well looked after by the host family who cook you a delicious local meal, well deserved after a days trek! Grab a Bintang beer and lye in a hammock whilst watching the sun set over beautiful lake Maninjau and the surrounding jungle. Nothing could be more peaceful and relaxing. In the evening, its a great time to chill out and enjoy your own company, or get to know your fellow trekkers by playing some good old fashioned cards or board games! The trek through the small villages on the way down to Lake Maninjau the next day is an insight into the locals daily lives, watching them work on their farm, and seeing their daily lives in action.

How phenomenal of Jam Gadang for domestic and foreign tourists, making it is as a landmark of Bukittinggi and also be one of  West Sumatra icons.

Jam Gadang was built in 1926 by architects Yazid Sutan Dental Ameh. This clock was a gift from the Dutch Queen to Rook Maker- the Bukittinggi Controleur.

MANINJAU

            Maninjau is my hometown. It is located in Agam, not far from Lubuk Basung. It is a beautiful village. The most familiar thing in Maninjau is Lake Maninjau. Everyone who comes to Maninjau always want to see it as their main destiny. A lot of people just know that Maninjau only have a lake as the tourism place, but in fact Maninjau have another tourism. Maninjau have several waterfall that call Sarasah. There are three Sarasah in Maninjau, but the people only allow to visit 2 Sarasah because the other Sarasah is very dangerous.

            Based on the tourism, Maninjau have many delicious food if you come to Maninjau you can eat rinuak. It is such kind of very small fish. The people who visit Maninjau always buy it. Another food that you can taste is pensi. I do not know how to describe it, but it look like very small tiram. So, if you want to go on vacation Maninjau can be one of the interesting place to visit.

love poetry

DEEP

Remember when you saw my eyes

Softly, so deeply

I fell something special inside

Love, so deeply

You give me laugh

You give me smile

You give me love

You give me soul

Very deeply

Now you fly away

Take my laugh

Take my smile

Take my love

Take my soul

Without a word

Paint the hurt

Torn my heart

So deeply…….

I have two classes today. Morsyn class and ITL class. Morsyn class is the most complecated class in this semester. It is difficult to me to understand it. Today is the same with another day, we have to present a topic in front of the class. It is changed for group nine to present it. The topic is quite difficult, but I can understand it. I do not know why, but it is maybe I am in a good mod now.
The ITL class is more relax than the previous class. It is the class where the student express their feeling. This day the lecturer give the result of mid-test. I do not get a good mark. but I think it is enough fr me.
