Moramo Waterfall

Moramo waterfall, is located about 75km from downtown Kendall. With a rental car, this trip takes about 2 hours. It's known, road axis in this area is still much improved, and that has not been repaired are in pretty bad condition. Upon entering the village Sumbersari, our amazement at the sight of many houses of worship of all kinds of religions. The mosque is adjacent to the church and we see consecutive temples and monasteries. Intrigued, and also a bit lost, we stopped at one shop to ask directions. More surprised again, when the mother answered with a porous Javanese accent. It turned out that indeed this is one Sumbersari Village of transmigration destination. At first look how retarded the economy of this village. Until we passed a stretch of yellow rice with rice ready for harvest. And also much cattle seen along the road. Appropriate that many here who transmigrated from Java and Bali. Considering they are already quite advanced in irrigation and farming techniques. Interestingly again, we see many protested, the culture where the Hindu-Balinese sajen, founded in the corners sawah.Dan we finally arrived at Moramo. The parking lot is so broad that looks deserted without visitors. Stalls also looks closed and locked. In fact we came in the day Saturday, October 30, 2010. Usually, local residents flood the tourist spots like this. Finally ventured down the paths that moving into the forest. A cloudy afternoon, and sometimes damaged bridge is not the ideal conditions to surf in. From such dense forest. We trace the river continues to flow until it looks too Waterfall Moramo. Perhaps there are about 10 level waterfall. Large discharge of water and a decent height makes this waterfall looks beautiful. Dozens of shots we're taking here. Unfortunately we did not get to swim in one of the inlet water is clear green. When we returned to the parking lot, there is a Javanese accent mother who welcomed us and gave a ticket levy. Too cheap it feels when you see we only have to pay Rp 11,000 for 3 people and 1 car. And oddly enough not many people have come though with the cheap price. Hopefully with improved roads, this place could turn into major attraction. And if it's seen from his picture, Waterfall Moramo deserves to be re-entered the map "must visit".

If you want to enjoy the most beautiful waterfalls in Bali, not an exaggeration if I recommend Gitgit waterfall Buleleng Regency. with a height of 45 Meters, Git-git waterfall is the largest waterfall in Bali. And Git-git waterfall not only offers the only waterfall, but three, the second waterfall can be found along the road to the third waterfall. You need to go through 2 km uphill from the main waterfall to reach the third waterfall. Git-git waterfall is located near the border of Buleleng and Tabanan regency, around 11 km south of Soweto, near the area of Bedugul. Entrance to the waterfall is characterized by a small sign on the side of the road. To reach the waterfall, you must pass through a narrow dirt road, lined with souvenir stalls and drinks, but outside these stalls, green environment is ready to soothe your eyes.
Stop at the waterfall Banner Gitgit, parked the bike and to reach the waterfall should be dropped down the valley, the track is easy because it was used as tourist attractions and because it still looks quiet morning. Here are 3 objects that can be enjoyed Gitgit waterfall, cave and waterfall Stone Mekalongan. At the waterfall in the language Balinya Gitgit which means twin mouth of the cave is located, not too high but it is quite heavy, probably because 2 is said to twin waterfalls side by side, the middle rope attached keliatannya used to play swing like Tarzan. Next we headed out a little bit rock cave but did not meet with the referred to, up to first find a waterfall that seems to overflow of river Mekalongan of Gitgit waterfalls, waterfalls and rapids are much higher than the gap that may exist dilhat hit a stone. From here the river that flows in the Buleleng embryo Singosari river.

Gobak Sodor

Gobak sodor is a game area of Indonesia. This game is a game group that consists of two groups, where each team consists of 3-5 people. The core game is facing the opponent so as not to get away over the line to the last line in a back and forth, and to win all the members of the group should complete the process back and forth in a predetermined area of the field.

The Gobak Sodor usually played on the court with reference lines that exist or can be by using a rectangular field with a size of 9 x 4 m, divided into 6 sections. Boundary line of each part is usually marked with chalk. Members of the group that had a turn to keep this field is divided into two, namely members of the group who keep the horizontal lines and vertical lines. For group members who have a duty to maintain the horizontal boundary line, then they will try to hinder their opponents who are also trying to pass the boundary line which has been determined as free boundary. For group members who have a duty to keep the vertical lines (usually only one person), then this person has access to the entire vertical lines located in the middle of the field. This game is very exciting and extremely difficult because each person must always be on guard and ran as fast as possible if necessary to achieve victory.

Petak Umpet

Petak umpet is a kind of game that can be played by at least 2 people, but if more and more will be more exciting. Starting with Hompimpa to determine who the "cat" (act as a seeker of his friends are hiding). The cat would eventually close my eyes or turn around while counting to 10, usually he's facing a wall, tree or anything what so she would not see his friends move to hide (where this case has a different name in each region, for example in some areas in Jakarta some call INGLO, in another area called BON and there is also a named place HONG). After the count of ten (or a matter that has been agreed, for example if the area is open, the count is usually increased to 15 or 20) and after his friends hiding, begin the "cat" in action to find those friends.
 

If the "cat" to find his friend, he would mention his name or touching INGLO BON or HONG, if only to shout the name alone, then the "cat" is considered lost and repeat the game from scratch. What if it is, when the "cat" guerrilla find her friends are hiding, one child (whose status is still as "operating target" or not found) can skulk toward INGLO, BON or HONG, if successful touch, then all my friends who previously had been found by the "cat" freed, hostage aka the "cat" is considered not yet found, so the "cat" should be re-count and repeat the game from scratch.
 

The game finished after all friends are found. And who first discovered the next cat.
There is one more term in this game, the 'fire' in question here is if the cat is hiding friends caught by the cat because the cat was told by friends who had found it first of hiding
