What is Tangkuban Perahu ?
Tangkuban Perahu located in West Java , 30 km from Bandung and 9 km from lembang.It is a popular tourist attraction where tourists can hike or ride to the edge of the crater to view the hot water springs upclose, and buy eggs cooked on its hot surface. This stratovolcano is on the island of Java and last erupted in 1983.
The legend of Tangkuban perahu
According to local folklore, the formation of the Tangkuban Parahu volcano began with a young man SANGKURIANG who fell in love with his own mother, DAYANG SUMBI.
One day, when he was hunting, Sangkuriang accidentally killed his beautiful black dog (Si TUMANG). This dog is actually Sangkuriang's father who had been condemned to live the life of a dog by his GURU. However, Sangkuriang never knew it.
Sangkuriang had been separated by his mother since childhood. Yet, he was destined to meet his mother again. When on his way home, he stopped at a small village and met and fell in love with a beautiful girl. He didn't realised that the village was his homeland nor that the beautiful girl was his own sacred mother (remain young & pretty).
Their love grew naturally and one day, when they were discussing their wedding plans, Dayang Sumbi suddenly realised that the profile of Sangkuriang's head matched that of her only son's who had left twenty years earlier. How could shee marry her own son? But she did not wish to dissapoint him by cancelling the wedding. So, although she agreed to marry Sangkuriang, she would do so only on the condition that he provide her with a lake and a boat with which they could sail on the dawn of their wedding day.
Sangkuriang accepted this condition and built a lake by damming the Citarum river. Wiath a dawn just moment away and the boat almost complete, Dayang Sumbi realised that Sangkuriang would fulfill the condition she had set. With a wave of her supernatural shawl, she lit up the eastern horizon with flashes of light. Deceived by false dawn, the cock crowed and farmers rose for the new day.
With his work not yet complete, Sangkurinag realised that his endeavour were lost. With all his anger, he kicked the boat that he himself had built. The boat fell over and, in so doing become the mountain TANGKUBAN PARAHU (in Sundanese, TANGKUBAN means upturned or upside down, and PARAHU means boat). With the dam torn assunder, the water drained from the lake becoming a wide plain and nowaday became a city called BANDUNG (from the word BENDUNG, which means Dam).

Earthquake in Taiwan, 4 March 2010
On the 4th of March 2010, an earthquake hit Taiwan at 8.00 am local time (6.4 Sr).The earthquake hit 56 kilometers (35 miles) northeast of Kaohsiung, a city of million people.
how to make the world better?
Poverty, sustainable food production, fresh water scarcity, climate change there are major problem facing our earth TODAY.
Our forest can play a key role in sloving these problems.Yet, we need them the most.
the forest of the world are falling, deforestation has accelerated, 50% of our forest has been lost in the last 60 years alone.Deforestation makes climate change, degrading land, choking rivers, and polluting the atmosphere.
Forest stabilize the climate and cool the air.They prevent erosion and regulate the water cycle.They generate moisture, chemical, and microorganisms that actually create clouds.
In South Asia reforestation was used to create a 5000 orangutan preserve, 50% of people are jobless, the land was dry. Combining argiculture an forestry, a replicable system was created. It was designed to produce food and income for the local people, reduce growing expenditures, and speed up ecosystem regeneration. As the result are cloud cover up about 11%, rainfall up about 23%, and people now are making a sustainable income.
Reforestation makes a difference. Reforesting just over half using permaculture techniques would create a cloud cover over our precious planet earth. Currently global warming is adding 1,5 watts of heat per square meter of land.
so we must go green for now, we must concern about the world
