GUNUNG SALAK - Indikator Cuaca Kota Bogor

Gunung Salak merupakan lambang Kota Bogor. Jarak lurus dari puncak gunung ke pusat kota adalah 15 km. Bagi masyarakat asli nogor, Gunung Salak mencadi referensi untuk memperkirakan akan terjadinya hujan. Kalau ingin tahu hari ini hujan atau tidak, tinggal lihat saja gunung salak. Kalau awan hitam menyelimuti gunung sampai  kakinya berarti, pagi hari sudah turun hujan.

Kebetulan dalam foto ini Gunung Salak terlihat cerah.... Jadi sore harinya tidak hujan dooong...

Nah, kalau foto ini tepat diambil dari posisi 15 km dari puncak Gunung Salak. Sudut pengambilan dari Jalan Ciremai.

My Dream

Indonesia has a rich biodiversity and ethnic diversity, which are not possessed any country in the world. Furthermore, the country has abundant natural resources. However, the abundance of the wealth of resources, only enjoyed by the few. The majority of people still under the poverty line. The wealth that should be enjoyed by all the people were being depleted to be offered to capitalists.

As a nation that had hundreds of years being colonized by various nations, Indonesia has become the country led by people who minded laborers, and pleased to invaded their own people.  The success of colinizers in creating a weak nation has been proven in the form of slow achievement of the level of prosperity, and welfare of are not achieved equality for all citizens.

Prosperity gap has been proven to trigger dissatisfaction everywhere. Even though has more than 65 years of independence, there are still many people that do not obtained the opportunity, for worthy living. Deprivation of civil rights has made Indonesia as a country that do not protect people wherever they are. allowed The Government of Indonesia, when people being tortured in other nations without the solution of problems that prioritizes human rights. The people of Indonesia actually are at the lowest point in terms of self-esteem. The Government of Indonesia do not always be care about, when self-esteem the nation being trampled by other nations. The leaders of this country always be losing to solve the problem (related to oppression, deprivation of rights, and torture people by other nations). On behalf of maintaining good relations between countries, the Indonesia citizens become a victim of inter-government harmony. Without the courage and dignity, we will always be humiliated, mocked, and trampled on by other nations.

I dream of Indonesia become a country respected by other nations, has self-esteem, dignity and strength to face any country.

I dreamed of Indonesia, having the economic power that relies on its own merits.

I dream of this country leading in technology and science.

I dream of equitable prosperity for all people of this country, so no longer need to export unskilled labor to other countries.
