Skateboard is a kind of a sport you can do. Many boys do it because it is really cool to do. As the name, skateboard, this sport use a board which has four wheels. This board can coast the road with a few of energy.

In Bandung, there are a group who love skateboard. They always do that cool sport in Monumen Perjuangan. They come every Saturday from 4 pm until 6 pm. They make a rule while they play. They separated in two groups and they battle each other.

They should show any kind of style. They also use many material like an iron which used as a barrier. But, when you do that cool and fantastic style, you can get hurt. You can hurt when you fall down. Deni (16) a skateboarder said, “You can broke your leg when you fall. So, don’t forget about safety. Wear the helmet!”

Candi Terindah di Dunia Ada di Indonesia

(Adinda Arifiah - 210110080034)

Kompleks Candi Prambanan

Kompleks candi yang sering juga disebut sebagai Candi Roro Jonggrang merupakan kompleks candi hindu terbesar di Asia Tenggara. Bahkan ada yang mengatakan bahwa situs sejarah ini merupakan kompleks candi tercantik di dunia. (http://www.kapanlagi.com/a/old/prambanan-candi-hindu-terindah-di-dunia.html)

Kompleks Candi ini terletak di perbatasan Provinsi Jawa Tengah dengan D.I.Yogyakarta. Foto di bawah ini adalah candi utama di kompleks candi ini.

Di dalam candi-candi di Prambanan ini, banyak terukir relief yang bercerita tentang kisah-kisah hindu legendaris. Ini contoh relief di salah satu candi.

Ini juga seperti relief monyet. Monyet merupakan hewan suci bagi orang Hindu.

Candi Ratu Boko

Di sekitar situ banyak terdapat situs lainnya yang juga mempunyai nama. Misalnya foto di bawah ini adalah foto situs Ratu Boko. Situs yang belum diketahui pasti apa fungsinya pada zaman dahulu terletak sekitar 3 km di selatan kompleks Candi Prambanan.

Situs ini tidak disebut candi karena dilihat dari sisa-sisa letak batuannya, ini diduga dulunya adalah sebuah keraton. Di situs ini juga terdapar gerbang masuk, pendopo, kolam pemandian, dan lain-lain, tidak seperti sebuah bangunan keagamaan seperti peninggalan Zaman Jawa Kuno lainnya.

Nama "Ratu Boko" sendiri merupakan nama ayah dari Roro Jonggrang.

Candi Sewu

Di sebelah utara Candi Prambanan ada juga Candi Sewu. Kata "sewu" yang berarti "seribu" diambil untuk nama ini berdasarkan legenda Roro Jonggrang. Candi ini bercorak Buddha, berbeda dengan Candi Prambanan. Candi Sewu merupakan candi buddha kedua terbesar setelah Candi Borobudur.

Padang dan Bukittinggi, Indonesia

(Adinda Arifiah - 210110080034)

Padang dan Bukittinggi merupakan kota yang terdapat di Provinsi Sumatera Barat, Indonesia. Di sini, ada beberapa lokasi wisata yang terkenal dan menarik untuk dikunjungi.

Pantai Air Manis

Pantai Air Manis terletak di kota Padang. Di sini pemandangannya indah, banyak pepohonan yang menghiasi dan menambah keindahan lautnya.

Yang terkenal di Pantai Air Manis ini adalah batu Malin Kundang.
Malin Kundang adalah tokoh utama dalam cerita rakyat asli Sumatera Barat. Cerita rakyat tersebut mengisahkan tentang seorang anak yang pergi dari rumah untuk merantau. Namun, ketika sudah sukses, kaya, dan beristeri, ia lupa kepada ibunya. Ketika ia berlayar ke daerah asalnya dan menemui ibunya, ia malu mengaku di depan isteri bahwa perempuan tua yang menghampiri dirinya adalah ibu kandungnya. Kemudian sang ibu marah dan mengutuk anaknya tertimpa berubah menjadi batu.

Inilah yang konon adalah diri si Malin Kundang yang durhaka kepada ibunya. Tubuhnya yang menjadi batu masih dapat kita lihat dan memang batu ini berbentuk badan manusia yang seperti sedang tengkurap menyembah.

Foto di bawah ini juga konon adalah kapal Malin Kundang yang hancur dan karam. Tali-temali, guci, peti, dan lain-lain, juga masih dapat kita lihat di sana, semua mengeras menjadi batu.

Ngarai Sianok

Beralih dari kota Padang, di kota Bukittinggi terdapat jurang berkelok yang dinamakan Ngarai Sianok. Lembah curam ini merupakan garis batas kota dari selatan ngarai Koto Gadang sampai Ngarai Sianok Enam Suku, dan berakhir di Palupuh. Ngarai Sianok adalah objek wisata utama Sumatera Barat.

Di lokasi ini kita juga bisa "bermain" dengan monyet-monyet. Ketika kita datang dengan membawa sesuatu di tangan, monyet-monyet pasti langsung menghampiri. Mereka kira kita membawa makanan. Maka di sana dijual kacang kulit yang biasanya memang akan pengunjung berikan ke monyet-monyet yang berebut mengambil dari tangan.

Di lokasi wisata ini juga terdapat Goa Jepang yang dahulu digunakan para tentara Jepang sebagai tempat berlindung.
