Trip To Taman Mini Indonesia Indah

http://www.indonesia.travel/en/destination/397Taman Mini Indonesia Indah or Beautiful Indonesia Miniature Park is a culture-based recreational area located in East Jakarta, Indonesia. The park is synopsis of Indonesian traditional culture, with virtually all aspects of daily life in Indonesia's provinces encapsulated in separate pavilions with the collections of Indonesian culture, clothing, dances and traditions are all depicted impeccably. Apart from that, there is a lake with a miniature of the archipelago in the middle of it, cable cars, museums, a theater called the Theatre of My Homeland (Theater Tanah Airku) and other recreational facilities which make TMII one of the most popular tourist destinations in the city. And here I attached some pictures of that features. enjoy....

Urban Farming-Maryland

I've visited my friend, Ms Arti two months ago. She and her husband have been doing urban farming for a year. They have small vegetable garden and composting piles. Her husband is being volunteer at Engaged Community Offshoots (ECO) farm, Prince George College. I attached some pictures that I took when I visited there.
