Mount Bromo
Mount Bromo Tour, East java
The still-active Bromo volcano is a day's drive from Surabaya. Standing on top of this almost 2400 metre high mountain is an unforgettable experience. The Bromo crater suddenly rises up in the middle of a sea of sand 'lautan passir'. Looking down from the top of the Bromo into the smoking crater, combined with the view over the 10 km long Tengger massif is, we would guess, like standing on the moon.
Although one must get started by three o'clock in the morning and walk for an hour through the sea of sand to get the best sunrise view, it is worth your effort. During the rainy season it is better wait until after sunrise for climbing Bromo, which then can be cloudy at dawn. The Bromo highlands are also an important centre for traditional Hindu Javanese beliefs. In the 15th century many Hindu believers fled to the mountains for a safe haven for the upcoming Moslem rulers.

TOBA LAKE, BEAUTY OF SUMATRA
Toba Lake
World famous is the crater Toba Lake in the Batak highlands; approximately five hours drive from Medan. Toba Lake is the largest lake in South East Asia and also one of the most spectacular, surrounded by tall mountains and with the large island of Samosir in the middle. If we descend from the mountain we see the lake glittering in all its beauty. The Dutch writer Rudy Kousbroek even called Toba Lake, 'the most beautiful place on earth'. Most visitors stay on the peninsula of Tuk Tuk on Samosir, named after the linguist Herman Neubronner van der Tuuk. In general people stay several days on Samosir to discover the island, to visit traditional Batak villages, to swim in the lake and go to the hot springs in Pangururan.
The centerpiece of North Sumatra, Lake Toba's bracing climate and magnificent panoramas clear the mind and soothe the soul. For decades a magnet from regional and foreign visitors alike, Toba has developed into a full-featured highland resort while retaining the rustic charm and relaxed ambiance that define Toba's attraction. Formed by a stupendous prehistoric volcanic explosion, the 100 km long lake is the largest in Southeast Asia and one of the deepest and the highest in the world. The drama of that cataclysmic birth persist in 500 meter cliffs dropping into the blue-green waters, surrounded by steep, pine covered sloped, the climate is fresh and pleasant, with just enough rain to support the lush vegetation.
Toba Lake is a 100kms x 30kms volcanic lake in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Toba Lake has become one of the main tourist attractions for a long time in North Sumatra apart from Bukit Lawang and Nias, visited by both domestic and foreign tourist.
The Origin of Toba Lake
It is estimated that Toba Lake was formed during a volcanic eruption about 73.000-75.000 years ago and which was the most recent super volcano eruption. Bill Rose and Craig Chesner from Michigan Technological University estimated that volcanic materials that were spewed out the mountain totaling 2800km3, with 800km3 ignimbrites rock and 2000km3 volcanic ash that is estimated was blown (wind) to the west for 2 weeks. This incident caused mass death (destruction) and to several species also causes extinction. According to some DNA proof, this eruption also shrinks the humankind population to around thousands back then.
After this eruption, a caldera was formed that was filled by water afterwards and now known as Toba Lake. The pressure from the dormant magma, which has not yet erupted, caused Samosir Island to emerge. The region that now known as Samosir Island originally was a peninsula that attached to the Sumatran mainland. In this peninsula the Netherlands built the water canal 10 m width.
For the first time visitors, going through Medan-Parapat route seeing a lake as big as that made Samosir appear like an amazing grand island. However, the island perspective will certainly faded with the increase in Toba plateau visitor, Nias and the other places in the south, through Medan-Berastagi route. Samosir occupied a central geographical position in the Toba plateau region. With the declaration of the Toba Samosir Regency (the inhabitants 302.000 lives, the area with wide of 3.440 km including the lake) it finally ascend from only a shadow into a Regency. Moreover, the width of Samosir Island exceed Singapore (647 km), in fact Toba Lake almost twice bigger than Singapore. The Samosir image in tourism books as the backpackers location must be changed because this historic place must restore the greatness of its past.

World famous is the crater Toba Lake in the Batak highlands; approximately five hours drive from Medan. Toba Lake is the largest lake in South East Asia and also one of the most spectacular, surrounded by tall mountains and with the large island of Samosir in the middle. If we descend from the mountain we see the lake glittering in all its beauty. The Dutch writer Rudy Kousbroek even called Toba Lake, 'the most beautiful place on earth'. Most visitors stay on the peninsula of Tuk Tuk on Samosir, named after the linguist Herman Neubronner van der Tuuk. In general people stay several days on Samosir to discover the island, to visit traditional Batak villages, to swim in the lake and go to the hot springs in Pangururan.
The centerpiece of North Sumatra, Lake Toba's bracing climate and magnificent panoramas clear the mind and soothe the soul. For decades a magnet from regional and foreign visitors alike, Toba has developed into a full-featured highland resort while retaining the rustic charm and relaxed ambiance that define Toba's attraction. Formed by a stupendous prehistoric volcanic explosion, the 100 km long lake is the largest in Southeast Asia and one of the deepest and the highest in the world. The drama of that cataclysmic birth persist in 500 meter cliffs dropping into the blue-green waters, surrounded by steep, pine covered sloped, the climate is fresh and pleasant, with just enough rain to support the lush vegetation.
Toba Lake is a 100kms x 30kms volcanic lake in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Toba Lake has become one of the main tourist attractions for a long time in North Sumatra apart from Bukit Lawang and Nias, visited by both domestic and foreign tourist.
The Origin of Toba Lake
It is estimated that Toba Lake was formed during a volcanic eruption about 73.000-75.000 years ago and which was the most recent super volcano eruption. Bill Rose and Craig Chesner from Michigan Technological University estimated that volcanic materials that were spewed out the mountain totaling 2800km3, with 800km3 ignimbrites rock and 2000km3 volcanic ash that is estimated was blown (wind) to the west for 2 weeks. This incident caused mass death (destruction) and to several species also causes extinction. According to some DNA proof, this eruption also shrinks the humankind population to around thousands back then.
After this eruption, a caldera was formed that was filled by water afterwards and now known as Toba Lake. The pressure from the dormant magma, which has not yet erupted, caused Samosir Island to emerge. The region that now known as Samosir Island originally was a peninsula that attached to the Sumatran mainland. In this peninsula the Netherlands built the water canal 10 m width.
For the first time visitors, going through Medan-Parapat route seeing a lake as big as that made Samosir appear like an amazing grand island. However, the island perspective will certainly faded with the increase in Toba plateau visitor, Nias and the other places in the south, through Medan-Berastagi route. Samosir occupied a central geographical position in the Toba plateau region. With the declaration of the Toba Samosir Regency (the inhabitants 302.000 lives, the area with wide of 3.440 km including the lake) it finally ascend from only a shadow into a Regency. Moreover, the width of Samosir Island exceed Singapore (647 km), in fact Toba Lake almost twice bigger than Singapore. The Samosir image in tourism books as the backpackers location must be changed because this historic place must restore the greatness of its past.
Legend of Toba Lake
Once upon a time, lived a young orphan farmer in the northern part of the Sumatran Island. This area was very dry. The young man lived from farming and fishing. One day he went fishing, he already fishing for half of the day but still not getting any fish yet.

On the next day, like usual, he went to his farm, and on the noon he comeback home, to have lunch. But when he arrived in his house he was very startled for the meal had prepared to be eaten. He then fears that the fish might be stolen, and then hastily he ran to the back of his house.
However, the fish was still in place, for a long time he thinks, “Who cooks those meals”, but because his is very hungry, he ate those meals. But this incident continued to occur again repeatedly, every time he came home for lunch, the meals are prepared on the table. Then one day this young man made a strategy to find out who cooks those meals, the next day he then began to commence his strategy, he then hide around the trees close to his house. He was waiting for a long time, but the smoke in his kitchen still has not been seen, and when he then intended to return home, he began to see the smoke in the kitchen.
"Hey woman, who are you, and where are you came from?” the woman began to drop tears, and then the young man saw his fish was no longer in the pond. He asked the woman, “hey woman, where is the fish in that pond?” the Woman cried intensely, but this young man continued to ask and finally the woman answers, “I was the fish that was caught by you”. The young man then startled, but because he felt that he had hurt the feelings this woman, then he said, “Hey woman, did you want to become my wife??” the Woman then startled, he stay quiet, then the young man said “Why are you silent??” Then the woman said, “I wanted to become your wife. But with one condition.” ”What is the condition?” the young man quickly asked, the woman then said, “In the future if our child was born and grew, never even once you said that he/she was anakni Dekke (child of a fish) ”. The young man then agreed to that condition and swore he will never say it.
Then they were married and granted a child. When the child was 6 years old, this child turn to be very naughty.

Tempat Wisata (Tugas Soft Skill Kepariwisataan)
Tempat Wisata di Lombok
NTB atau Bumi Gora merupakan provinsi yang memiliki dua pulau yaitu Sumbawa dan Lombok. Menurut sebagian orang yang pernah berwisata ke NTB, Lombok jauh dianggap lebih indah, eksotik dan menawarkan lebih banyak pilihan dibandingkan Sumbawa. Terutama dengan keindahan kawasan pantainya yang sudah dikenal hingga ke belahan Benua Eropa.
Pesona Lombok memang tak ada habisnya. Beragam tempat wisata dan atraksi budayanya yang dapat dinikmati. Wisatawan tinggal pilih, mau berwisata sejarah, berwisata pantai atau pun berwisata belanja.
Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB) selain daerah agraris juga dikenal dengan kepariwisataannya. Bahkan pemerintah daerah setempat pada tahun ini menargetkan peningkatan kunjungan wisatawan mancanegara dan nusantara, minimal 13 persen dibandingkan tahun lalu.
Pulau Lombok memiliki magnet tersendiri bagi para pelancong yang ingn menikmati nuansa wisata yang berbeda. Terutama gili-gili (pulau kecil) yang menjadi primadona bagi pecinta wisata bahari.

Kawasan pantai Senggigi sejak tahun 1980 sudah diperkenalkan kepariwisataannya, dan menjadi ikon pariwisata di NTB. Saat ini, puluhan hotel mulai dari kelas bintang 3 sampai 5 memadati kawasan ini dari selatan hingga utara.
Pantai Senggigi
Banyak wisatawan lebih memilih menghabiskan waktu sore hari dengan duduk di pantai berpasir putih sambil menikmati indahnya mentari tenggelam (sunset). Kalau Bali memiliki Pantai Kuta, Sanur, Legian, maka Lombok punya Pantai Senggigi yang asri dan nyaman. Kendati didapati hotel dan galeri, wisatawan masih bisa melihat nelayan dengan kapal cadiknya yang hendak melaut mencari ikan setiap hari.
Pantai Senggigi, yang terletak di sebelah utara Bangsal, merupakan pantai yang paling populer dan sudah terkenal akan keindahannya. Pantai yang terletak 12 kilometer dari sebelah barat laut Mataram, Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB), Lombok ini, terbentang hampir sepanjang 10 km dengan hamparan pasir putih yang seolah menggoda Anda untuk duduk diatasnya dan untuk sejenak melupakan segala rutinitas hidup Anda, kepadatan lalu lintas kota, dan menghirup udara segar dengan menikmati pemandangan air laut yang berwarna biru gradasi hijau serta menikmati indahnya matahari terbenam di pantai Senggigi.
Umumnya wisatawan krtika berada di Senggigi menyempatkan diri untuk mengunjungi Pura Batu Bolong, 3 Km dari sentral keramaian Senggigi.
Batu Bolong merupakan pura bagian yang dimiliki umat Hindu di Lombok dan sudah cukup lama dibuka bagi wisatawan.
Selain menjadi pusat home stay wisatawan mancanegara dan nusantara, pantainya masih ali dan bisa dijadikan tempat rekreasi yang menyenangkan. Untuk itu, Pemda Kabupaten Lombok Barat setiap pertengahan tahunnya menjadwalkan penyelengaraan Festival Senggigi. Tidak jarang kekayaan atraksi budaya yang dipentaskan selama sepekan bisa membuat wisatawan ingin menikmatinya.
Selain keindahan alam pesisirnya. Pantai Senggigi juga menawarkan ciri khas lain dari Lombok melalui berbagai cendera matanya. Tepatnya di Jalan Raya Senggigi Km 7 terdapat pusat perbelanjaan berbagal cendera mata Lombok di Pasar Seni Senggigi (Art Market Senggigi).
Ikhwal awal didirikannya Pasar Seni Senggigi karena letaknya yang berdekatan dengan kawasan Pantai Senggigi. Karena itu Pemprov NTB berharap kedepannya tempat ini menjadi surga belanja bagi para wisatawan yang berwisata di Lombok.

Di sepanjang pinggir pantai, berjejer restoran-restoran yang menyediakan berbagai jenis hidangan khas Lombok dan jenis hidangan lainnya. Selama berada di Lombok, jangan lupa untuk mencicipi Ayam Taliwang dan Plecing Kangkung.
Berkeliling
Jika Anda ingin mengelilingi pantai Senggigi namun tidak ingin cepat lelah, Anda bisa menaiki cidomo ” angkutan khas NTB yang ditarik oleh seekor kuda. Atau Anda juga dapat mengelilingi pantai dengan berjalan kaki.
Buah Tangan

Batu Bolong
Batu Bolong merupakan sebuah tempat wisata dekat pantai. Di sana terdapat sebuah batu yang berlubang cukup besar di bagian tengahnya. Di sini terdapat juga sebuah pura yang berdiri di atas batu karang. Pura ini berhadapan dengan selat Lombok dan Gunung Agung Bali. Upacara-upacara keagamaan diselenggarakan oleh masyarakat yang beragama Hindu dan dari tempat ini pengunjung dapat menikmati matahari terbenam.
Gili Trawangan
Gili Trawangan adalah yang terbesar dari ketiga pulau atau gili (Kepulauan Gili) yang terdapat di sebelah barat laut Lombok. Trawangan juga satu-satunya gili yang ketinggiannya di atas permukaan laut cukup signifikan. Dengan panjang 3 km dan lebar 2 km, Trawangan berpopulasi sekitar 800 jiwa. Diantara ketiga gili tersebut, Trawangan memiliki fasilitas untuk wisatawan yang paling beragam; kedai Tîr na Nôg mengklaim bahwa Trawangan adalah pulau terkecil di dunia yang ada bar Irlandia-nya. Bagian paling padat penduduk adalah sebelah timur pulau ini.
Trawangan punya nuansa “pesta” lebih daripada Gili Meno dan Gili Air, karena banyaknya pesta sepanjang malam yang setiap malamnya dirotasi acaranya oleh beberapa tempat keramaian. Aktivitas yang populer dilakukan para wisatawan di Trawangan adalah scuba diving (dengan sertifikasi PADI), snorkeling (di pantai sebelah timur laut), bermain kayak, dan berselancar. Ada juga beberapa tempat dimana para wisatawan bisa belajar berkuda mengelilingi pulau.
Di Gili Trawangan (begitu juga di dua gili yang lain), tidak terdapat kendaraan bermotor. Sarana transportasi yang lazim adalah sepeda (disewakan oleh masyarakat setempat untuk para wisatawan) dan cidomo, kereta kuda sederhana yang umum dijumpai di Lombok. Untuk bepergian ke- dan dari ketiga gili itu, penduduk biasanya menggunakan kapal bermotor dan speedboat.

Analytical Summary of UK Economic Context
As a result of the collapse of financial systems globally it is now very difficult for first time buyers to obtain mortgages, and many who are already on the property ladder have been pushed into negative equity. A sharp decrease in the demand for home ownership in the UK, as a result of a number of factors including the inability for many to arrange credit agreements, has pushed market values down significantly. This sharp decline in market values has seen many homeowners plunge into negative equity meaning that they are unable to sell their homes without first finding the capital to cover the shortfall in their mortgage debts. Increases in the cost of living, particularly price increases in essentials such as food and utility bills, have contributed to many homeowners being able unable to keep up repayments on their mortgages; this inflation has significantly reduced the amount of disposable income that households within the UK have, meaning that less money is spent on other goods and services in the economy and unemployment rises. Subsequently financial institutions are taking measures to repossess homes to recover some of their losses and selling them on at auction for prices far below market value, an action which only serves to further decrease the market values and plunge even more people into negative equity.
Massive devaluation of the Pound against other major currencies has seen imports rise in price, including food. Seventy percent of imported food is from Europe and therefore the fall in the exchange rate with the Euro means that the price that the public pay for this food has increased accordingly. In an attempt to combat the recession the Bank Of England has cut the interest rate to 2%, to encourage spending within the economy, a move that will hopefully minimise further rises in unemployment and see a rise in disposable income levels. A consolidation of the current unemployment rate, along with a decrease in the interest repayments of many buyers, would assist with slowing down the rate of repossessions and encourage some new buyers onto the market; and as a result slow down the declining market values. The slow down of the property market has seen developers’ profits fall significantly and they are switching to shared ownership or rental markets. With some experts predicting further falls in the value of property in 2009, building for the private housing market is likely to become even less profitable.
