*********************************************************************
SURABAYA - SEMARANG Rp 60.000,- ( BISNIS )
SURABAYA - BANDUNG Rp 130.000,- ( BISNIS ), Via Semarang

ANDRE: Surabaya - Masyarakat yang ingin pergi ke Semarang, tapi tak punya uang lebih untuk naik kereta api (KA) kelas eksekutif, tidak perlu khawatir. Mulai 2 Agustus 2010 PT KA meluncurkan KA Rajawali kelas bisnis jurusan Surabaya (Pasar Turi)-Semarang yang masih satu rangkaian dengan kelas eksekutif. Kasubag Humasda PT KA Daops 8 Surabaya Sri Winarto mengungkapkan peluncuran kereta bisnis ini berdasarkan keputusan Direktur PT KA Nomor CP/118 tanggal 13 Juli dan No. CP/184 tanggal 22 Juli 2010.

“Sebelumnya KA Rajawali hanya melayani kelas eksekutif, dengan layanan baru ini diharapkan bisa memberikan pilihan kelas maupun tarif bagi penumpang tujuan Semarang,” ujarnya, Senin (26/7). Rencananya ada dua kereta bisnis yang ada di KA Rajawali. Masing-masing kereta berkapasitas 62 tempat duduk. Kereta ini tarif batas bawahnya dipatok Rp 60.000 dan batas atasnya Rp 100.000. Tarif ini dua kali lipat lebih murah dibandingkan kelas eksekutif yang batas bawahnya Rp 120.000 serta batas atas Rp 200.000.

Bagi penumpang yang ingin ke Semarang pada 2 Agustus 2010 atau setelahnya bisa langsung memesan di bagian reservasi Kantor Daops 8 Surabaya mulai hari ini. “Pokoknya tiket bisa dipesan 30 hari sebelum hari keberangkatan, jadi bisa dimulai sekarang,” ujar pria yang berdomisili di Malang ini. KA Rajawali eksekutif dan bisnis akan berangkat dari Stasiun Pasar Turi pukul 14.00 WIB dan tiba di Stasiun Tawang-Semarang 18.20 WIB. Waktu perjalanan ini menurut Sri lebih cepat dibandingkan naik bus yang memakan waktu sekitar lima jam.

Bagi masyarakat yang ingin melanjutkan ke Bandung, bisa langsung naik kereta Harina jurusan Semarang-Bandung. Sama halnya dengan KA Rajawali, KA Harina juga ditambah dua kereta kelas bisnis di masing-masing lokomotifnya. “Jadi penumpang yang naik KA Rajawali tidak perlu turun, tapi langsung bisa meneruskan perjalanan ke Bandung,” ujar Sri Winarto.

KOMENTAR MASYARAKAT DENGAN DILUNCURKANNYA KERETA API RAJAWALI BISNIS

Lasiono, warga Wonokromo yang biasa bepergian ke Semarang menyambut baik peluncuran kereta bisnis itu. Ia pun tak perlu menghabiskan uang untuk mendapatkan kenyamanan di jalan. “Memang di bisnis tak ada AC, tapi kipas angin sudah cukup, jadi agak irit,” ujarnya. Sebelumnya Lasiono mengaku sering memakai bus patas ketika ke Semarang. Namun, waktu yang dibutuhkan lebih lama dibandingkan naik kereta eksekutif. “Tarifnya pun tidak beda jauh, jadi mending naik kereta bisnis saja,” tukasnya.

" Komodo National Park, one of the finalists for the New 7 Wonders of Nature "

Komodo National Park: Into The Heart of The Dragons

Real dragons spurt no fire, have no need to fly and cast no magic spells. And still, one look from them might render you speechless. These komodos, the real life dragons, are a sight indeed. Gigantic, the lizard-like creatures are about two or three meters in length. They can easily weigh about 165 kilograms. Despite of their sheer size and appearance, they are not active hunters. What makes them intimidating is the fact that they are a patient predator. In the wild, they stalk a victim, usually a weak or injured one. One bite and that's what it usually takes. After following the victim for a while, sometimes up to several days' time, the komodos will devour the dying prey.

The Komodo Dragon (Varanus komodoensis) is an endangered species which can only be found in the Komodo National Park (KNP) in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). Because of the unique and rare nature of this animal, KNP was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986.

The park includes three major islands, Komodo, Rinca and Padar, and numerous smaller islands together totaling 603 km2 of land. The total size of Komodo National Park is presently 1,817 km2. Proposed extensions of 25 km2 of land (Banta Island) and 479 km2 of marine waters would bring the total surface area up to 2,321 km2.At least 2500 Komodos live in this area. Large dragons are usually three meters long and weigh up to 90 kg. Their habitat has beautiful panoramic views of savannas, rain forests, white beaches, beautiful corals, and clean blue seas. In this area, you can also find horses, wild buffalo, deer, wild boar, snakes, monkeys, and various types of birds.

KNP has a rich and amazing underwater sea biotica. Divers claim that Komodo waters are one of the best diving sites in the world. It has fascinating underwater scenery. You can find 385 species of beautiful corals, mangrove forests, and seaweeds as a home for thousands of fish species, 70 types of sponges, 10 types of dolphins, 6 types of whales, green turtles and various types of sharks and stingrays.

" Discover Indonesia "

The Republic of Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world comprising 17,504 large and small tropical islands fringed with white sandy beaches, many still uninhabited and a number even still unnamed. Straddling the equator, situated between the continents of Asia and Australia and between the Pacific and the Indian Oceans, it is as wide as the United States from San Francisco to New York, equaling the distance between London and Moscow. Indonesia has a total population of more than 215 million people from more than 200 ethnic groups. The national language is Bahasa Indonesia.

Among the most well known islands are Sumatra, Java, Bali, Kalimantan (formerly Borneo), Sulawesi (formerly Celebes), the Maluku Islands (or better known as Moluccas, the original Spice Islands) and Papua. Then, there is Bali “the world’s best island resort” with its enchanting culture, beaches, dynamic dances and music. But Indonesia still has many unexplored islands with grand mountain views, green rainforests to trek through, rolling waves to surf and deep blue pristine seas to dive in where one can swim with dugongs, dolphins and large mantarays.

Because of her location, and geology, Indonesia is blessed with the most diverse landscape, from fertile ricelands on Java and Bali to the luxuriant rainforests of Sumatra, Kalimantan and Sulawesi, to the savannah grasslands of the Nusatenggara islands to snow-capped peaks of West Papua.

Her wildlife ranges from the prehistoric giant Komodo lizard to the Orang Utan and the Java rhino, to the Sulawesi anoa dwarf buffalos, to birds with exquisite plumage like the cockatoo and the bird of paradise. This is also the habitat of the Rafflesia the world’s largest flower, wild orchids, an amazing variety of spices, and aromatic hardwood and a large variety of fruit trees. Underwater, scientists have found in North Sulawesi the prehistoric coelacanth fish, a “living fossil” fish, predating the dinosaurs living some 400 million years ago, while whales migrate yearly through these waters from the South Pole. Here are hundreds of species of colourful coral and tropical fish to admire.

Culturally, Indonesia fascinates with her rich diversity of ancient temples, music, ranging from the traditional to modern pop, dances, rituals and ways of life, changing from island to island, from region to region. Yet everywhere the visitor feels welcomed with that warm, gracious innate friendliness of the Indonesian people that is not easily forgotten.

Facilities-wise Indonesia’s hotels are second to none. In fact, many of our luxurious and unique hotels have constantly been listed as some of the best in the world, located on white sandy beaches, overlooking green river valleys, or situated in the heart of busy capital Jakarta. While Indonesia’s cities like Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya, or Makassar are a hive of activities for business and leisure and a paradise for shoppers, offering upscale boutiques selling top brand names, to local goods at road-side stalls. Here gourmets can treat themselves to the many regions’ delectable spicy cuisine or dine sumptuously at international restaurants. And for sheer relaxation, Indonesia Spas are second to none to reinvigorate both body and mind.

Convention centers are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, as many top international conferences and exhibitions are held in Jakarta, Bali to Manado, ranging from the Global Climate Change Conference in Bali to the World Ocean Conference in Manado , to trade and investment exhibitions and tourism trade shows in many provincial capital cities.

Jakarta, Bali, Medan, Padang, Bandung, Solo, Yogyakarta, Surabaya, Makassar are connected by direct international flights, and many regular and low cost carriers fly passengers to Indonesia’s towns or remote locations. ( www.indonesia.travel)

" The Island Of Flores, Indonesian "

Flores is a most fascinating and beautiful island. Long hidden in the shadows of its more famous neighbor Bali, the island of Flores is finally emerging as a unique destination of its own. So, after visiting the lair of the Komodo dragons, take time to marvel at some of the wonders of Flores. Here you can swim in pristine lakes and waterfalls, dive at one of the 50 spectacular dive sites, go kayaking among craggy coasts and mangrove shores, explore mysterious caves and be warmly welcomed by the island’s people in their rituals, dances and daily life.

Flores spells adventure, diving, eco-tours, and mountain climbing interspersed with visits to prehistoric heritage sites, traditional villages and cultural events.

Until recently, many tourists have only been familiar with Labuan Bajo, the small port located on the western-most tip of the island, and the taking off point for a visit to the last natural habitat of the prehistoric Komodo dragons, the islands of Komodo, Rinca and Padar.

Situated in the province of East Nusatenggara, Flores is a long island that contains some of the world’s best kept secrets. A chain of volcanoes stretches the length of this 450 km long and narrow island, creating complicated V-shaped valleys and knife-edged ridges - terrain that was near impenetrable until recently and has separated the island into many distinct ethnic groups.

Administratively the island is divided into 8 districts; West Manggarai, Manggarai, East Manggarai, Nagekeo, Ngada, Ende, Sika and East Flores. Further east are the adjacent islands of Alor and Lembata.

Here you will find some of the world’s most exotic underwater life. Diving in the pristine seas of Komodo, divers find themselves swimming along with huge manta rays, dolphins and dugongs, while whales can be seen passing Flores’s east coast during their migration period.

The island itself is surrounded by sparkling white beaches, where one beach even has pink sand. Mt. Kelimutu, near the town of Maumere, has three different coloured lakes that can change colour from time to time.

Besides Komodo dragons, Flores has been in the world’s limelight with the discovery of the Flores hobbit, or homo floresiensis, a new hitherto unknown prehistoric human species, whose remains were found in the caves of Liang Bua.

This island is indeed ancient, having been untouched for centuries, once inhabited by prehistoric men and still living prehistoric animals, as well as containing remnants of a petrified forest.

At the easternmost tip of the island, Larantuka is famous for its Easter-week rituals that still continue the old Portuguese traditions brought here some 500 years ago. While at adjacent Lembata , islanders hunt whales manually, harpooning precariously from small boats.

" The Best Indonesian Cuisine and International Restaurants "

Jakarta: Dining Experience in Metropolitan City

Jakarta today offers an excellent variety of sophisticated fine dining restaurants located in many parts of this sprawling metropolitan city.

The best Indonesian cuisine and international restaurants are found in unique surroundings as they are located in elegant and well appointed colonial buildings that enhance that special nostalgic atmosphere of fine, graceful dining like in those colonial days long gone.

The Oasis Restaurant on Jalan Raden Saleh in Central Jakarta, the Buddha Bar on Teuku Umar, Bunga Rampai on Jalan Tjik Ditiro and the Jittlada Thai restaurant on Jalan Sultan Agung are just a few prime examples. The Café Batavia across the old Stadhuis at Fatahillah Square in Old Batavia takes one back to the grand style of grand meals in the Dutch colonial era.

Meanwhile, Jakarta’s top hotels serve grand buffets for lunch in one all inclusive price where diners can pick from a wide selection of cuisine from Japanese sushi to juicy steaks and roast beef, to crunchy salads, and close the meal with chocolate cake, fresh fruits and delicious aromatic coffee.

Malls have also gotten into the fray to pamper diners, where entire floors are today dedicated to upscale restaurants, but there are also smaller bistros, cafes and fast food to cater to the thousands of busy professionals from the surrounding office towers, and shoppers and cinema buffs filling the attached cineplex.

The Kemang area in South Jakarta is a small world all its own where are some top international restaurants, among which the Turkish Anatolia restaurant, but also others serving first class Italian, Indian, Chinese, Indonesian, or Dutch cuisine.
And everywhere around this city one finds simple restaurants and street stalls so that no one can ever complain of having to go hungry for lack of food available.

Indonesia’s favourite food are satay and Gado-gado or Ketoprak, Sate, sometime spelled satay is Indonesia’s kebab. These are thick slices of chicken, beef or mutton skewered and deliciously barbequed then poured over with hot peanut sauce or soya sauce.
While Gado-gado is Indonesia’s salad consisting of boiled spinach, watercress, beansprouts, boiled potatoes and boiled egg, poured over with ground peanut sauce sometimes eaten with lontong, which is rolled rice boiled in leaves. Another variety is the Ketoprak which consists of beansprouts, tofu and rice noodles served with fresh peanut sauce mixed with spices. ( www.indonesia.travel)

" 3 HATI 2 DUNIA 1 CINTA "

ANDRE: Jakarta - "Jika yang muslim lelakinya, ada yang bolehin menikah dengan non-Muslim, ada juga yang tidak. Nah, kalau yang Islam pihak perempuan, makin banyak yang tidak membolehkan. Tapi, saya saja sudah setua ini belum tahu jawabannya," kata paman kepada Rosid.

Sepasang kekasih dengan perbedaan yang mencolok: sang pria, Muslim keturunan Arab yang keluarganya masih memegang tradisi keislaman dan juga kearaban yang kuat. Sang perempuan, Manado Katolik dari keluarga yang taat. Apakah hubungan mereka akan berakhir dengan bahagia?

Begitulah premis dari film '3 Hati 2 Dunia 1 Cinta' karya Benni Setiawan. Dari sini saja kita bakal tahu ada masalah besar yang dihadapi mereka.

Diadaptasi dari dua novel karya Ben Sohib, 'Da Peci Code' dan 'Balada Rosid dan Delia', antara problem cinta dan etnisitas pun bercampur serta halangan pun menguat dalam film ini.

Sebagaimana diketahui, muslim keturunan Arab di Indonesia seperti Rosid (Reza Rahadian) tidak hanya selektif dalam memilih pasangan yang seagama, tapi juga harus idealnya satu suku bangsa. Mereka pun punya tradisi yang cukup berbeda dengan komunitas muslim lainnya. Sementara keluarga Delia (Laura Basuki), berdarah Manado lengkap dengan kalung salib dan lukisan 'The Last Supper' super gede di ruang makan. Adakah yang lebih rumit dari ini?

Ternyata ada. Keduanya sepakat untuk terus melanjutkan hubungan dan memberontak dengan lembut tapi pasti. Rosid yang kribo ini memang dikenal berbeda. Misalnya, dia tidak mau memakai peci dan baju koko karena merasa itu bukan ajaran agama tapi sekadar tradisi nenek moyang. Padahal keduanya adalah atribut wajib bagi kaum Arab.

Gaya Rosid yang berbeda dengan kaum mayoritasnya ini pun dianggap sesat. Ia kemudian didemo banyak orang.

Di sini kita disodori kisah (dan kritik seputar) orang-orang yang berbuat kekerasan atas nama agama hanya karena sang lawan dianggap berbeda. Atau, perbedaan keyakinan dan tradisi membuat Delia yang amat tertarik dengan tari Zapin menari bersama para pria. Tentu saja aksi delia ini menjadi sesuatu yang aneh karena ia bercampur dengan yang bukan muhrim.

Kedua orang tua Delia dan Rosid, dengan mengatasnamakan iman, tentu ingin memisahkan keduanya. Keluarga Rosid melakukan apa saja, termasuk praktik syirik. Salah satu yang sulit untuk ditolak adalah rencana menjodohkan Rosid dengan Nabila (Arumi Bachsin), anak asal Bosnia yang diadopsi salah satu pamannya.

Antara Rosid dan Nabila pun terjadi keakraban, mengingat keduanya suka dengan puisi. Sedangkan keluarga Delia (kedua orang tua Rosid memanggilnya dengan: Delila) hendak mengirimnya kuliah di Amerika, sesuai keinginan Delia sebelum bertemu Rosid.

Jadi, bagaimana posisi film ini terhadap isu nikah beda agama yang cukup sensitif ini? Kehati-hatian adalah jalan keluar, dan menjadi alternatif bagi 'manusia satu dimensi'.

Film yang awalnya berjudul 'Komidi Putar' ini tidak hanya sekadar bercerita tentang pasangan beda agama, tetapi juga menelusuri tradisi, perbedaan antara budaya dan agama, dan juga kecintaan akan puisi.

Puisi? Ya! Sejak awal, dipaparkan Rosid sebagai sang penyair dan Rendra adalah panutannya. Lihat saja, di rumahnya ada banyak sekali foto Rendra (di samping Benyamin Sueb). Puisi-puisi Si Burung Merak ini pun menghiasi. Ketika ditanya memangnya ada orang yang mau jadi penyair setelah Rendra, dengan tegas Rosid menjawab, "Ada! Saya!."

Boleh dibilang film ini juga bagian dari penghormatan terhadap almarhum budayawan Rendra. Tapi berbeda dengan Rangga di 'Ada Apa dengan Cinta' yang pendiam dan serius, Rosid sebaliknya, ia kocak dan selengekan.

Hal lain adalah nilai-nilai kekeluargaan. Lihatlah Mansyur (Rasyid Karim) sang ayah yang sangat keras menentang, tetapi begitu cinta dengan putranya. Sebaliknya, walau mbalelo, Rosid selalu ingin mengabdi pada ayah ibunya. Salah satunya adalah dengan membuatkan dan deklamasi puisi bagi keduanya. Sedangkan Muzna (Henidar Amroe), sang ibu, selalu berada di tengah-tengah, walau sebenarnya tidak setuju dengan hubungan 'terlarang' itu.

Film ini menegaskan akting Reza Rahadian yang 'spesialis bikin haru' (ingat 'Alangkah Lucunya Negeri Ini' dan 'Emak Ingin Naik Haji'). Tidak kalah, Laura Basuki juga bermain apik. Jadi, siap-siap untuk tertawa dan menangis.

Selain keduanya, '3 Hati, 2 Dunia, 1 Cinta' juga diperkuat oleh Ira Wibowo, Robbi Tumewu, Zainal Abidin Domba, Jay Wijayanto, serta penampilan khusus dari Haddad Alwi, dan pengacara kondang, Muhammad Asegaf.

Sayup-sayup, terdengar suara Rosid membacakan 'Surat Kepada Bunda' untuk ibunya.

Mamma yang tercinta,
akhirnya kutemukan juga jodohku
seseorang yang bagai kau:
sederhana dalam tingkah dan bicara
serta sangat menyayangiku.
