Holiday to Kampung Naga

5 years ago ( 2010 ) when I was 5th grade elementary school ( for your information, my elementary school is SD Negeri 2 Nilem Bandung ) I and my schoolmates had an activity outside the school. Oh yea oh Yeah…. We went camping. The camping is an activity from school which purpose to make the students enjoy and happy. The camping is at 18 - 21 Desember 2010, after the last test in the semester ( UAS ).  We left for the campsite at 05.00 a.m. After a long long drive by bus, we arrived at the woods and found a good camping site. The campsite was in a village near Kampung Naga. There is a stream with clean water nearby. And air was cool and fresh different from air in Bandung. It was really really a good place for camping. Some teachers, parents and brother or sister which a family who go to camping also took part in the camping activity.

"Let's set up our tents here," said the teacher. Then we started to work. We needed a pole, some rope and nails for each tents. In a short time tents are ready and we put a small flag on top of each tent. The girls made a fire and cooked our lunch while the boys were working. As soon as the lunch was ready, we immediately started to eat. Of course it was very simple dish but a very good lunch for us. After that, we had a free time, the boys play football and the girls play card, the parents and teachers talking. After dinner we must sleep earlier to get ready for activity in the next day. Because next day is very tirring

In the next day the teacher guided us to visit Kampung Naga. To saw villager, we need to go down a stairway of 350 steps. When we arrive in, the villager very very welcome to us. The "Kuncen" said to us were only 318 people in Kampung Naga. Most of villager are either farmers or farm labourers and they are do not have television set, no bed with mattres, no sofa, not even a cupboard,and they do not paint their house either. They live very simply, and they do not demand much. The rich man in the village lives in a house which is not different from any other in village. After we finished to look around kampung naga, we back to tents again. In The next day, we had a playing time, like tarik tambang, balap karung, etc. We playing until 11.00 a.m. After shalat dzuhur all participan packing and at 03.00 p.m we went to Bandung. In the trip, I just sleep and I woke up when we arrived in my school. I bring my suitecase from baggage bus, and I went to my home with my parents.

The weather was very good during the camping. Everybody had their own useful experience. They all enjoyed the camping. They are tired but they are happy. Camping is a good way of spending holiday away from home. It is cheap and a lot of fun. We are free to go anywhere we like and its is a great pleasure to sleep under the star, and I hope SMA Negeri 3 Bandung will make an activity like that.


Car Free Day

    Sport help us to become strong and healthy. Healthy people should exercise regularly. There are many kinds of sport: walking, running, cycling, swimming and so on. The simplest and the best sport is walking. It is also the cheapest one, because we do not need money to do it.
... In big cities like Jakarta or Bandung the traffic are so heavy. The pollution caused by traffic is so high and endangered respiration. With the growing of the cities, people need buildings  for place to live in. The development so fast. It makes air open land become smaller. So difficult to find an open area for recreation.
... The management of the big cities then come with an idea to make a certain area become a place for people to use as a place for sport and recreation. In a certain area on Sunday the traffic can not used. They called it "Car Free Day" area.
... In Bandung there are two areas (roads) which every Sunday closed for traffic. Those two roads are Ir. H. Djuanda street or used to be known as Dago street and the other one is Buahbatu street. Dago car free day area start from Dipati Ukur cross road until Cikapayang cross road. Buahbatu car free day area start from BKR cross road until Banteng cross road. Car Free Day every Sunday begin from six o'clock in the morning and finish at ten o'clock.
... Every week lot of many people come to the Car Free Day area. Along the street then many people also come to open temporary food counter. They are selling many kind of dishes. Starting from a light snacks to an heavy dishes.
... We can find many traditional foods like Lontong Kari, Kupat Tahu, Nasi Uduk, Satay Padang and many other traditional dishes. We can also find Pizza, Hamburger, Hot dog, Ramen, French Fries and many other kind of foods from different country.
Many kind of beverages can be find like es dawet, es campur, es cingcau hijau, milk shake, youghurt, ice blend and many more.
...The idea of Car Free Day at first is to reduce pollution in a certain area. The Car Free Day are then utilize by every body for walking, cycling and many other sport activity. The Car Free Day is not only for peole who do exercise, now also a place where people meet their friends for a chat and to enjoy buying foods. Car Free Day area became an area where people can enjoy a fresh air without pollution and danger from a heavy traffic... I love it!
