Reasons why visit Indonesia


This year the Indonesian Ministry of Culture and Tourism, has declared 2008 as a Visit Indonesia Year. Visit Indonesia Year has officially launched on 26th December 2007. This national marketing activities also used to commemorate 100 years of Indonesia's national awakening. The target already set for 7 millions tourists. Do you thing is it feasible?

Indonesia with a vast archipelago of more than 17,000 islands, comprising 2 millions square kilometers since 2000 on average, 5 million foreign tourists each year with average stay 9 – 12 days. Our country Indonesia gains US$ 4.6 billion income annually which is make tourism being an important component of the Indonesian economy. But if we compare with our tiny neighbor Singapore hit 10.3 millions visitor last year, we have to be more serious about tourism. Any ideas?

Build new toilets, Dalton Tanonaka said. He reminded the United Nations has designated 2008 as the International Year of Sanitation. China had been succeed regularly hold the World Toilet Summit, to show off that its country also aware about comfort innovation, sanitation, etc. My question is, have we ever attended the Summit? I doubt since regional surveys place Indonesia near the bottom in terms of hygiene infrastructure. Mostly public sanitation is much worst than the same sanitation at Mall, Hotels. Maybe it's all about how we serve our people before serve foreigner.

It's look so many problems in our country as tourism destination, even it just one case from Dalton. Jump it. Let's talk about reasons why tourist must visit Indonesia?
1.Bali is here. I don't want to be racism, survey talks million words.
2.Indonesia has more than 17,000 islands, not only Bali, Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Nusa Tenggara, or Papua. They all unique, and diverse.

Do you find another reasons why?

Because of Cosa


I started to know him virtually, by recommendation of friend, Sudane. He sent the link via YM with note that it worth to see. It was last year, around June. Since then almost everyday I visit and learn from its site.

About Cosaaranda, personally as most other Internet user I don't know him. What I know is that he lives in Surabaya, quite near from my house (5km) and still studying in University. He looks already being a successful blogger in term of revenue he got from blogosphere. His main site, Cosaaranda.com is place for study adsense, wordpress, SEO, etc for free.

To be honest with him, I have no time to watch it everyday so I download his URL and open it home. I read offline, just like I read newspapers or magazines, it has opened my info about others thing I'd never known. This posting only tribute to him from the bottom of my heart. Thank you a lot to share your experience and bring new opportunities to dummy bloggers as me.

Better displays

I met my old friend yesterday, since 6 years he move another town. Such a surprise that he back here to check the biggest event party in town, as an event director. We both organized events together many times during in college, before then busy with individual business.

Darren told me a lot about event organizer he conducted. And I share my stories as well as my problem related to it. Why it so difficult to find stylish trade shows booths and displays? “Yes, it was. Now I’m just simply visit Camelback Displays to look for table skirts, banner stands, pipe and drape, and all my exhibit needs,” he answered.

This morning, I checked it out. Its site is quite user-friendly and easy to navigate. I found it offers a full service that helps from design to delivery. I think I don’t need to worry presenting my product for exhibition next month.

Pregestimil wanted

Honestly I never heard about this product until a month ago. My baby used to feed of Nutrilon Royal, a product of Nutricia. Gungde, started being allergy after his 8 month, both of cow and soy milk. My doctor recommended us two names, Pan-Enteral (Otsuka) and Pregestimil (Mead Johnson). She said that we can try the first choice since Pregestimil is rarely in market. So we tried it, unfortunately only stand for 2 weeks before it occured again.

We visited doctor Anang, he is a specialist who recommended by doctor Retno Asih. Anang said that it was allergy for sure, and he as well as Retno has no other choice, except asked me to buy Pregestimil. We still fed Pan-Enteral to Gungde for 1 day before my wife couldn't stand anymore with her child condition. My baby is a cute, and healthy. His weight is 10 kg, 9 months old. No one will feel happy with red spots in his cheek.

I called the only two places its agent (Diah) informed, but only one mini market still has it. So I straight went there and buy. It was shock me, the price is Rp 135.000,- ,(425 g) double than my ordinary formula milk (Nutrilon). The sales said it was imported, and sticker label still there with 13 euro in printed. Again I had no choice, since the stock was very limited I asked for more, but rejected by the sales. The old woman wisely told me, please give chance to other family to buy them. “It was stupid for me, as a sales, but Pregestimil really most wanted here,” she continued. I could not say anything, but thank you.

All my family wish and expect now is Pregestimil to be easy to find in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. Even its taste not as sweet as others milk, and price double we might understand. Or another company will produce and distribute the same special formula milk as it? Please let me know.
