I never saw such a teasing till a few years ago.

Satay Padang is made of cow’s tongue, not beef, one genre of Padang food in which Rendang comes from. One of favorites for Indonesians.

Usually westerners only eat meat, no innards, no other than meat.

Why not trying first? Perhaps you’ll like it, and ask for more like this Ukrainian lady~

Indonesian local music called Dangdut — another variant of India’s Bollywood music — goes America with hip hop flavor for American ears

We have two legends of dangdut music: Rhoma Irama “The King of Dangdut” and Elvy Sukaesih “The Queen of Dangdut”, they are 70s years old now

Another legend: A. Rafiq. He is not left behind at all than the king of dangdut and the queen of dangdut.

Really? Kinda a surprise. Just read an article as follows:

Jakarta Achieves City of Literature Status, There are 3 Other UNESCO Creative Cities in Indonesia

Jakarta has been named the World Literary City by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). There are 3 others in Indonesia.
Compiled by detikTravel, Sunday (11/14/2021), the announcement was made through the official unesco.org website on November 8, 2021 ago. Jakarta is listed as one of 49 other cities in the world that are part of UNESCO’s Creative City Network in 2021.
Regarding this, the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan also gave his appreciation. Moreover, Anies has also been the Minister of Education and Culture who is full of literature matters.

“We feel very proud of this UNESCO election. As a city, Jakarta must be built sustainably,” said Anies in a written statement, Tuesday (9/11).

Anies highlighted the importance of sustainable infrastructure development and the quality of human resources. According to him, this is what drives the progress of the city of Jakarta.
“The infrastructure development that we have done so far is important to make Jakarta a developed city. But we also improve the quality of its people. This is what will drive the sustainable development process. With Jakarta chosen as the City of World Literature, this will be an important driver for us to continue to improve the human aspect,” he explained.

The former Minister of Education and Culture explained that Jakarta has a long history of literacy. From the royal, colonial period, to the early days of Indonesia’s independence and now, Jakarta has become an important center for books and literacy.
Thus, Anies hopes that through the election of Jakarta as the City of World Literature, it is hoped that it will continue to be developed in the future.

“We remember that it was in Jakarta that the first newspaper was founded, the first book publisher was established, Balai Pustaka, and the Indonesian Publishers Association (IKAPI) was also established in Jakarta. Even Indonesia’s independence began with the knitting of words and sentences composed by the founders of this nation in Jakarta and then spread to all corners of the republic,” added Governor Anies.

“With the election as a World Literary City, we ensure that we will continue to maintain and develop this strong historical root in the future,” he continued.

The daily chairman of the Jakarta Book City Committee, Laura Bangun Prinsloo, said that the proposal for Jakarta as the City of Letters had been submitted since 2019 by looking at the literacy potential and active bookkeeping activities in Jakarta.
“We are truly honored to be part of the network of creative world cities. We have submitted this proposal to the provincial government for a long time (2019) because we see the potential for literacy and active bookkeeping activities in Jakarta. Since then, we have prepared dossier (document files) for UNESCO by involving many parties, including bookmakers, institutions, and literacy organizations and other ministries. This is a very good opportunity for the Provincial Government together with book stakeholders to be able to develop aspects of the City of Jakarta as a city of literature and literacy, “said Laura.

Every year UNESCO routinely gives predicates to a number of creative cities in the world. Just before the title of World Literature City was given to Jakarta and two other cities, there were other titles given to three other cities in Indonesia.

In 2014, UNESCO also awarded the City of Crafts and Folk Arts to Pekalongan City in Central Java. Then in 2015, the title of City of Design was also given by UNESCO to the Flower City of Bandung.

Then no less prestigious, the title of City of Music was also pinned by UNESCO in Ambon City in 2019. In total, there are four creative cities in Indonesia curated by UNESCO. Proud!

“European breakfast: juice, bread, fruit, yogurt

vs

Breakfast of +62

dadargulung, lapis legit, pancong cake, kicak, lamang, lupis, rangi, roti jala durian, apem, colenak, cucur, putumayang, lemper, lampet, keukarah, sala lauak, bika ambon, klepon, buras, gemblong, gudeg, combro, misro, etc.”.

He mentioned 23 names of local food, I only know 11 of them.

Those unfamiliar foods might come from the neighboring province.

note:

“+62” means Indonesia. It comes from the international code of phone number for Indonesia.

“How to make a model of solar eclipse, in which the UMBRA GOES EAST as occurs in reality?”

Gif pic makers give up. What about you? 😀

When the sun still bright, the horizon appears in front of the sun. When the sunlight gets weaker, you’ll see another horizon BEHIND the sun. The sun looks ‘setting’ BEFORE the horizon.

Let’s check out this pics

There are three concept of “horizon”:

1. Actual Horizon stays at the foot of the buildings.
2. Visible Horizon is just perspective due to bendy light.
3. Extended Horizon is the layer of the cloud, on which the sun “set”.

Even if the horizon is assumed as the Visibel Horizon, the sun will rise/set ABOVE the horizon.

Not to mention if the horizon used is the Actual Horizon, that scheme will be even clearer that the Sun NEVER set NOR rise.

It “rise” and “set” far higher, ABOVE the Extended Horizon. Above the cloud.

In solar eclipse, say, on America 2017, the umbra goes EAST. Nice try, but this gif pic shows a MANIPULATION coz the scale is by days, while the solar eclipse lasted by hours and the moon always goes WEST all the time. So? It’s impossible for solar system to describe the solar eclipse coz solar system doesn’t exist.

It definitely changes and NEVER set.
