As its name recommends, actually "sweet" in Balinese, Legian guarantees sweet recollections of a Bali occasion.<br />
<br />
Extending north from Kuta, Legian offers the same simple access to shops and bars however a somewhat more casual and less disordered feeling. It is a serene region where you can even now get the low costs of Kuta without a portion of the bother. The northern zone of Legian circumscribing Seminyak offers a touch of an escape from the group and is likewise a well known surf shoreline.<br />

Note Legian, Seminyak are really subdivisions of Kuta), north to Jalan Arjuna (otherwise called Jalan Double Six) where Seminyak starts.

The entire of Legian is no greater than a couple obstructs in an expansive city, yet regardless of its little size, this territory has a prominent with guests because of the flawless shoreline facade, and multiplication of mid-market lodgings.<br />

An all the more comfortable shoreline interest is to arrange yourself, mixed drink close by, at one of the many shoreline front bistros on this extend, and watch one of the world's extraordinary nightfalls. Be in position by around 5.30PM. On the other hand, sit on the shoreline itself, and purchase a brew for Rp20,000 and soda pops for Rp10,000 and purchase nasi goreng or mie goreng from the open air warungs for Rp15,000 each. The waryungs close around dusk. The peddlers may make you insane, however the nightfall can be awesome and local people are agreeable. Before the Legian Beach lodging, "Rico's" is suggested.<br />

For instance, there is a wide range of marine life from colorful fish species, dolphins and even whale sharks. Sabang beaches are also home to an underwater volcano that offers a once in a lifetime experience for divers.<br />
<br />

<br />
The crisp clear waters of Rubiah Island make the ideal environment for swimmers. Snorkeling at Rubiah is also a highly-recommended activity.

<br />
Divers without prior experience can get an introductory course for as little as €40. The course includes a half day’s practice diving followed by the real thing. Diving certification is also offered as part of the Sabang Tourism experience for about €290.<br />

Sabang tourism objects to see include the zero-kilometer monument that marks the western-most point of the island. There are also World War 2 bunkers, fortifications and barricades the Japanese built in the area at the height of the conflict.<br />
<br />
But most fascinating of all is the Gunung Berapi Jaboi volcano about 15kms south of the island. The volcano us active and visitors are advised to be careful around its craters.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Where are the bad Indonesian boys?" said a group of foreign tourist while getting out from Ngurah Rai airport, Bali. Their muscular hands carried a surfboard they brought from their respective country. It must be special and expensive one, otherwise they actually don’t need to bother themselves carrying those long and heavy boards along with them, they definitely can hire it in Bali. Their faces show that they have no more patience to conquer Bali wave. The words that they have just uttered, I consider, challenging the Balinese to fight with them on the board, over there, at the tip of the sea waves.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, Bali is the island of tourist which has fascinating and most beautiful beaches around the globe. A big number of tourists visit the island every year. If you take a look at Kuta beach, most of the tourists are foreigners, yes local people are there but their number are less. I don’t know is the sun in their countries different from the sun in Bali, but the fact is that they really enjoy the sun in Bali, either sunbathing or just watching the sunset. Some of them were surfing, some other are playing volleyball, or merely lying down their bodies, or sitting and have some talks or any other activities. To talk about surfing, you can find places to hire surfboard over here, at the very beach, or there are many in the town, both for hire or sell. Even the classes to learn surfing are available in the town. Most of the tourists in Bali are surfers. They visit Bali to surf in Bali beaches. I met a tourist who visits Bali almost every year in the season when the wave is good to surf. But I still wonder do they know other tourism objects in Indonesia except Bali?. Do they know that a surfing paradise is in Nias, the best second surfing site in the world after Hawaii?. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nias Island (Pulau Nias) lies in the Indian Ocean west of the island of Sumatra. The island is beautiful and amazing is surrounded approximately 27 small islands where only 11 islands of which are inhabited including the island of Nias, Simeulue Island, Mentawai Islands and the island of Enggano. What exactly Nias Island is approximately 125 km from the west coast of Sumatra.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nias is an internationally famous surfing destination. The best known surfing area is Sorake Bay, near the town of Teluk Dalam, on the south end. Lagundri coast and enclosed by Sorake bay has both left and right breaks. As they wait for waves, surfers can often see sea turtles swimming below. There are also two consistent, world-class waves in the nearby Hinako Islands, Asu and Bawa. Many lesser-known, high-quality surf spots with lots of low await adventurous travelers. Lagundri Bay is much like any other perfect surf break that is not perfect all the time. For those trying to get a slice of its real magic you will find that it is quite accessible to travelling surfers and if the place is firing you’ll be shacked like never before. Asu is located on the nearby Hinako Island chain and is a moderate to heavy lefthander that has both tube and wackable face sections.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

If you are a professional surfer, pack your bag and your board then go to Nias. This is a have-to-visit surfing destination for professionals. If you are just a beginner, it’s not a sin to plan to see the best surfing area in Nias. You can arrange your board in Nias since the local people might provide it for hire, but this is only if you are a beginner. Professionals usually have their own boards; some of them have a collection of surfboards. In case you have not own one, or you want to add your collection you may order it by clicking the links below. I show you some alternatives so you can choose anyone of them.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 13px;">Looks great. Definitely an advanced board. Very light has lots of flotation feels like a surfboard has you riding higher out of the water. Spins easily and at the same time the edge shape has you cutting nicely very responsive. Fully padded top deck provided great grip for your feet. I did loose a fin on the first day out as I did not want to over-tighten, they are expensive to replace about $50 for 3 replacement fins. You will likely want to purchase a case as it is fragile dings easily.</span><br />

It is beginner-friendly, fingertip-light to carry, and maneuverable on the face of a wave. Its soft foam construction and urethane fins have nothing to scuff through, delaminate, or maintain, and make for a soft impact if you wipe out or clip another swimmer on a crowded beach.</span><br />

This can be burdensome for carrying, hauling, and paddling on it. The 2.0 is approximately 10 lbs. and makes easy jobs for carrying from the car to the beach (and back), weight on the top of the car roof, and making it out past the surf break.The foam in the board, and the slightly extra wideness of the board, provides the buoyancy and foundation to make it EASY to catch a wave without having to paddle like the pro's do (I've seen some guys paddle like a mad men in both Hawaii and Texas to catch a wave; experience/practice is a MUST to be able to do that with fiberglass boards). I've traded with some other local surfers to try out both long and short fiberglass boards and I can tell you from experience, that i'd much rather spend my time having fun rather than working hard out there. I can't just enjoy myself with other boards I've tried. It's a lot of work to keep the board under me since it sinks more into the water, I struggle more to swim myself AND the board out past the surf, I sturggle more to catch waves and on the off chances I do catch one, it's always short lived compared to riding the waves almost all the way into shore like I do on my 2.0. Add that the 2.0 is more durable than a fiberglass board (won't crack/take on water) and that it doesn't leave me or my wife with bruises on our knees, and it's a no brainer. Oh--and have I mentioned that there is NO other longboard that even comes CLOSE to how low the price is on the 2.0???!!! You'll waste hundreds more on fiberglass boards!<br />

Yes, the price of surfboard varied from type to type accordingly to the size and matterial it made from. If you want to save your money by making a wooden surfboard by yourself which spend less than $100 I provide you an E-book on how to make a wooden surfboard with surfboard plan <a href="http://50368rfkrfdfxh81sjs60dx91i.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=WOODEN%20SURFBOARD" target="_top">Click Here!</a>yaser amrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12979307396815290338noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7174194015555218025.post-19012595040947604342013-04-23T16:06:00.000-07:002013-04-23T16:06:58.711-07:00Smoke Fish<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Ikan Salai atau ikan sale adalah
ikan yang dikeringkan melalui cara pengasapan. Di Indonesia ternyata menu ikan
salai menjadi makanan tradisional beberapa daerah. Di Riau biasanya yang
disalai adalah ikan Lais, orang mandailing juga menjadikannya menu kebanggaan
di beberapa rumah makan khas Mandailing, hanya saja yang disalai biasanya
sejenis ikan Lele. Penduduk di sekitar danau Maninjau juga punya menu sejenis,
yang disebut dengan “Bada Masiak”, begitu juga Singkarak. Jenis ikan yang
serupa juga ada di Aceh Tengah yang disebut dengan ikan Depik, hidup di danau
Laut Tawar. Penduduk setempat juga menkonsumsinya setelah disalai, hanya saja
ikan ini rasanya agak pahit. Di daerah North East India masyarakatnya juga
biasa menkonsumsi ikan salai yang mereka sebut dengan “smoke fish”. </div>

Rasa ikan salai yang khas bau
asap memang belum tentu disukai semua orang, tapi bagi daerah yang
menkonsumsinya menu ini menjadi menu handalan. Ada beberapa macam masakan yang
berbahan dasar ikan salai. Orang Maninjau biasanya disambal, orang Mandailing
digulai, ada juga yang membuat asam pedas salai, bahkan di Riau bubur salai.</div>

Mancing di sungai bisa dilakukan dengan biaya yang lebih irit karena ngak perlu bayar tempat, umpan gak perlu beli bisa dicari dilokasi mancing dan bisa memakai peralatan mancing seadanya. Keuntungan lain mancing di sungai, bisa menikmati keindahan alam dan bisa pilih tempat yang gak terlalu panas sehingga gak perlu pake sun block kaya mancing di kolam atau di laut.<br /><br />Berhubung ikan di sungai bermacam jenis biasanya sebelum mancing ke sungai pemancing akan menentukan target ikannya dulu supaya bisa dipersiapkan peralatan dan umpan yang sesuai dengan target. Umumnya untuk mancing di sungai tidak diperlukan pelampung dan karena air sungai mengalir tentunya pemberatnya disesuaikan dengan arus sungai. Semakin deras arusnya maka tentunya pemberatnya lebih berat supaya tidak terhempas ke permukaan. Untuk mancing ikan baung dan jenis ikan yang besar kailnya juga lebih besar bekisar ukuran 8 atau lebih dan senar juga harus kuat supaya bisa melawan kekuatan ikan dan arus sungai.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyxv0iMguvByXtC55XyaBWdrB2THzh9GMu_dJJoopaExkn5-vPzayHyNC3xe1kcjkJK1PaAWIY6vPk60gCeZmD3boeLXt0PoeK9OJCJJDO73tejWhgqF7vSc4oV02XP0kw9cg6iOheaKtH/s1600-h/habitat.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyxv0iMguvByXtC55XyaBWdrB2THzh9GMu_dJJoopaExkn5-vPzayHyNC3xe1kcjkJK1PaAWIY6vPk60gCeZmD3boeLXt0PoeK9OJCJJDO73tejWhgqF7vSc4oV02XP0kw9cg6iOheaKtH/s400/habitat.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390545048701692914" border="0"></a><br />Senar halus juga bisa dipakai untuk memancing ikan kecil dan ikan Silli.

The name of Berastagi means 'rice store' since the area is highly fertile and produces fruits and vegetables besides rice and sugar can. Berastagi is wellknown for its fruit and vegetable markets as the main economic activities. This hilly areas is quite cold in climate compares to Medan and other cities in North Sumatera.<br /><br />This one of the attractive tourist destination not because it's fruits production but more for the two active volcanos, Sibayak and Sinabung, with its hot spring. Tourists were attracted to climb Sibayak that is 2100 meters high because it is most accessible and easy to climb specially for one who already used to it. There is no requirement to do the trek.

In the front, around 100 meters, stood the Al-Maksum mosque that are well known as the Masjid Raya Medan. In the guest room (balairung) you will encounter the throne that was dominated by the yellow color. Crystal lights lighted the throne, a form of influence of European culture. The same influences are appeared in the palace furnishings like the seat, the table, toilet and the cupboard and the door, headed to balairung. The room measuring 412 m2 was used for the coronation agenda of Sultan Deli or the other traditional agenda.

The blend between the Islam tradition and European culture was boldly implemented. Apart from the balairung, the building base also showed Europe influence. Some of the building material was imported from Europe, like floor tiles, marble, and terrazzo.<br /><br />The pattern of Dutch architecture with the door and wide and tall windows, as well as Spanish stylish doors became a part of the Maimoon Palace. The Dutch influence was also seen in the marble inscription in front of the marble ladder that was written with the Latin letter in Netherlands language.<br /><br />The Islam influence was seen in the form of the curve or arcade in several parts of the palace roof.
