1.Batik

Indonesia has many traditional fabrics, one of them is batik. Batik is originally coming from Indonesia. Every region which has batik has own characteristic.

Batik divided into two kinds. Batik cap, batik which made by printed design using special modern tools. The second one is batik tulis which made by drawing the design using a tool named canting manually directly on the fabric without any modern tools.

The price of batik is also different. Usually batik this has more expensive price than batik cap because of the difficulty in producing it. Making batik tulis is more complicated. We have to make it carefully and it needs longer time than producing batik cap. Batik cap just prints the design with the tools. After that the both have the some processes.

Batik has different characteristic in each region. For instance, batik Pekalongan has differences with batik from Kalimantan, Solo, and others although it just differ in shape of lines. Usually it describes or symbolizes its region.

Now days, batik  is not an ancient thing to wear. Batik become popular in fashion with modern touch. And Indonesia needs to be proud of batik because batik is confessed as a cultural heritage of the world by UNESCO.

2.Kangaroo

 

A kangaroo is an animal found only in Australia, although it has a smaller relative, called a wallaby, which lives on the Australian island of Tasmania and also in New Guinea.

Kangaroos eat grass and plants. They have short front legs, but very long, and very strong back legs and a tail. These are used for sitting up and for jumping. Kangaroos have been known to make forward jumps of over eight metres, and leap across fences more than three metres high. They can also run at speeds of over 45 kilometres per hour.

The largest kangaroos are the Great Grey Kangaroo and the Red Kangaroo. Adult grow to a length of 1.60 metres and weigh over 90 kilos.

Kangaroos are marsupials. This means that the female kangaroo has an external pouch on the front of her body. A baby kangaroo is very tiny when it is born, and it crawls at once into this pouch where it spends its first five months of life

 

3 . Borobudur temple

Borobudur Temple

Borobudur Temple is a 9th-century Mahayana Buddhist monument near Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia. The monument comprises six square platforms topped by three circular platforms, and is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues. A main dome, located at the center of the top platform, is surrounded by 72 Buddha statues seated inside perforated stupa.'

The monument is both a shrine to the Lord Buddha and a place for Buddhist pilgrimage. The journey for pilgrims begins at the base of the monument and follows a path circumambulating the monument while ascending to the top through the three levels of Buddhist cosmology, namely Kāmadhātu (the world of desire), Rupadhatu (the world of forms) and Arupadhatu (the world of formlessness). During the journey the monument guides the pilgrims through a system of stairways and corridors with 1,460 narrative relief panels on the wall and the balustrades.

Evidence suggests Borobudur was abandoned following the 14th-century decline of Buddhist and Hindu kingdoms in Java, and the Javanese conversion to Islam. Worldwide knowledge of its existence was sparked in 1814 by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, then the British ruler of Java, who was advised of its location by native Indonesians.

Borobudur has since been preserved through several restorations. The largest restoration project was undertaken between 1975 and 1982 by the Indonesian government and UNESCO, following which the monument was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Borobudur is still used for pilgrimage; once a year Buddhists in Indonesia celebrate Vesak at the monument, and Borobudur is Indonesia's single most visited tourist attraction
