"Trying new things while travelling will open your horizons, included culinary"

Sileri Crater ... Widest in Dieng Plateau

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.” 

– Mark Twain – 

Have you ever heard the word Dieng ? If you have not, what comes first in your mind when hear the word Dieng ?. This time I had the opportunity to visit Dieng plateau. This areas included in Banjarnegara district is also one of the alternative vacation spots that resemble the natural conditions. Cool and cold but have enough differences that stand out, a crater in the various point and used as a geothermal power plant. Other that, in Dieng plateau we could see temples, lake and see the sun rise behind Merapi. 

The crater at the Dieng plateau is an object that is the main attraction for travellers. One of the crater named Sileri. 

Prambanan and Batik Sarong

Motif Batik

On 2nd Oct, Indonesia celebrated a national's day for batik because it is on UNESCO announce batik as one of the world heritage from Indonesian and shall be preserved. All Indonesian people to wear batik clothes not only for this national's day but also for their daily activities. Other that, wearing batik also applies while in tempel or Pura. For new regulation, wearing a sarong for visitors Prambanan and Borobudur Temple is a must. Besides that, Prambanan temple is the highest Hindu temple in the world and have been included in the World Cultural Heritage List. 

This regulation same like in Bali. In Bali, this regulation already applied for a long time and still maintained untul today. For all the visitors who come to the Pura or temple in Bali must wear Bali sarong. Since all religious activity centered in Pura then it's a must. In Hindu, Pura is a symbol of Holy.

This is a positive influence that can be done to introduce the culture of batik as Indonesia's cultural heritage to the world and native culture.
