http://bit.ly/riIRGw Jika anda sudah memutuskan menjadi wirausaha 100% maka anda harus siap akan dua hal yaitu untung dan rugi. Begitu juga dalam bisnis kaos distro, tidak akan selamanya bisnis kaos distro akan selalu untung. Ada kalanya produk kaos distro anda banyak disukai sehingga banyak yang membeli, akan tetapi ada suatu waktu anda mengalami keuntungan.

Bisnis kaos distro juga memiliki musim juga menggambarkan naik turunnya bisnis kaos distro. Oleh karena itu anda jangan kaget jika ternyata dalam 1 minggu atau bahkan 1 bulan produk anda hanya laku 1 pcs atau bahkan tidak ada penjualan sama sekali.

Visit Indonesia Year 2008 officially launched

JAKARTA (JP):The government officially launched Visit Indonesia Year 2008 on Wednesday, with the main aim of luring up to 7 million foreign tourists and booking US$6.4 billion in foreign exchange income.

To help reach the target, the government is setting aside $15 million for a domestic and international advertising blitz.

"The budget will be used to finance the promotion campaign, especially abroad," Culture and Tourism Minister Jero Wacik told a media conference before the grand launch of the program, which will be the second for the country.

The government held its first Visit Indonesia program in 1991, which was not particularly successful, increasing the number of foreign tourists by merely 400,000 from the year earlier, according to the Central Statistics Agency (BPS).

BPS data show that in 1991, around 2.5 million foreigntourists visited the country, from 2.1 million in the previous year. (***)

Surfing at Cimaja Beach, Pelabuhan Ratu-West Java

The Pelabuhan Ratu area, a favorite weekend surfing destination for expatriates and a growing number of Indonesian surfers based in Jakarta, is the most crowded of West Java's surfing grounds due to sheer ease of accessibility. Most of the surf pounded beaches in the Pelabuhan Ratu resort area-also called Samudra Beach are just that: pure beach pound, featuring vicious riptides and big walls of water with nowhere to go. Most surfers skip this non-directional stuff and head a few kilometers due west to the sleepy fishing and rice-growing village known as Cimaja, or Cimaja Beach.

The Cimaja break, a right that rises off a rocky reef, is reached by walking about 300 meters from the main road through beachfront sawah (rice paddies). This spot is consistently surf able because it has a solid and angular rock bottom perfectly attuned to south and southwest swells rising out of the Indian Ocean. Its rights peel off in front of a cobble-stone and boulder strewn beach that clatters like a series of giant castanets every time a wave set rolls in.

Here down below are some information for surfing at Cimaja.

Getting There

Cimaja village and its surrounds are easily reached from Jakarta in about two and a half hours by car, just taking the highway south to Bogor, then towards Sukabumi and Pelabuhan Ratu. Once in Cimaja fishing village, it's a hike through the rice paddies, and a cautious hop across the cobblestone beach.

Where to Stay

After turning left at the intersection onto Jl Siliwangi to go into town, there are some inexpensive losmen on the right-hand side, such as Laut Kidul and Karang Naya. Most hotels in Pelabhuan Ratu charge more on the weekends and holidays.

Moving Around

Heading west for a few hundred yards, across the river, you can check out the lefts at Karang Papak, which can be working when Cimaja is a mess. Generally the temptation doesn't pay off however.

Dining Guide

Restaurants are abundant down here and the seafood is very decent. Any hawkers in Pelabuhan Ratu, as nearby the beach, don't forget try fish balls

Other Things to See or Do



Taking a rest with sunset and enjoy the breath-taking views of the bay.

Learn how to surf.


Visit Nyai Roro Kiduls room at Samudra Beach Hotel, Room 308.

Wanna go for a beauty outing? About 9 km. West of Pelabuhan Ratu theres a hotsprings and volcanic area called Cipanas (Hot River).

Souvenir Tips


In any shop of a star-qualified hotel you may find some of your preference like sea-related products, such as items made of seashells, corals, t-shirts, etc. There are also street vendors selling this souvenir too along the sea shores.

Travel Tips


For swimmers, beware of strong currents all along this stretch of coastline.

Always be wary of tide conditions and how they affect the lineup. There's a large and exposed rock that is both conveniently and precariously located in front of the take-off point.

Like much of Java's rugged south coast this is prime sea urchin and rock-dance country at low tides. Beach rocks here are also very smoothing, slippery and (unfortunately) sometimes covered by sharp, skin-tearing barnacles. Proceed out and back in with caution to avoid being chopped up in the shore pound.

There is no rail or air service to Pelabuhan Ratu, so if you are budget conscious and cant afford private car services your safari will have to opt for travel on buses or minibuses that regularly commute from Jakarta to Pelabuhan Ratu via either Bogor or Sukabumi.

If youre a beginner, theres a surfing lessons at Cimaja. They would be happy to teach you with experienced surfers in the water to keep you out of harm's way. Ask the staff at your lodging for more details.

There are some surf shops & board repairing facilities in the Cimaja area, but these are limited. You will get leg ropes & wax, but not "fin keys" or "ding repair kits", sunscreens are all imported, so most shops can not now afford to carry them, so bring sufficient for you holiday.

Dont forget to bring a small first aid kit.

The on shore wind normally starts about 11 am. & drops of most afternoons 4 p.m. So both morning & afternoon surfing sessions are possible.

The dry season is the main surfing season & is approximately from April through to October while the wet season is from November through to March, while the surf is less reliable, there are still waves to be had.

The colour of "green" is said to be the very colour of the Javanese Spirit-queen. To the traditional and local custom this colour is forbidden to wear.

Rekor Barmain Angklung di Bandung

Dalam hal kebudayaan Indonesia memang nomer 1 di dunia.
Kita boleh kalah dalam hal sepak bola, tapi corak ragam budaya adalah nomer 1 di dunia. Dies Natalis UNPAD ke-50 tanggal 27 Agustus 2007, memecahkan rekor MURI (dan mungkin rekor dunia) “bermain angklung dengan jumlah peserta terbanyak (10.000 orang) dan jumlah permainan angklung oleh Guru Besar terbanyak.”

Acara ini didukung oleh Saung Angklung Udjo, dan dihadiri oleh Mentri Kebudayaan dan Parawisata Ir. Jero Wacik, Gubernur Jawa Barat, para Guru Besar Universitas Padjadjaran dan beberapa artis Ibukota.
Acara dipandu oleh MC Daan Arya yang juga merupakan alumni Universitas Padjadjaran.
Pemecahan Rekor MURI ini juga sebagai penegasan bahwa kesenian angklung adalah milik bangsa Indonesia. Dan sekaligus menolak klaim dari sebuah Negara yang ingin merampas hak atas kepemilikan kesenian angklung ini.

Seni angklung modern adalah hasil karya (Alm) Daeng Sutigna (1938), yang mengembangkan angklung pentatotis menjadi diatonis, yang kemudian dilestarikan selanjutnya oleh Udjo Ngalagena.

Jero Wacik menegaskan, sertifikat dari UNESCO atas kepemilikan kesenian angklung ini harus dimiliki oleh bangsa Indonesia, jangan sampai didahului oleh Negara lain.

Anda tahu bagaimana bentuk angklung buhun (tua / kuno)?. Pada acara ini juga ditampilkan bentuk angklung buhun, yang mempunyai ukuran lebih besar daripada angklung modern.

Dipimpin oleh teh Ika yang siang itu terlihat sangat cantik, dengan komando-komandonya yg sesekali menghibur sangat membuat cerah suasana. Bermain angklung memang menyenangkan, nada diatonis benar-benar menghibur dan menghipnotis. Bahkan terlihat dari wajah para Guru Besar begitu sumringah ketika menggoyang buluh2 bambu seakan mengingatkan masa kecil yang membahagiakan.

Walaupun para pemain adalah orang yang baru kali ini saja memainkan angklung tapi karena permainan ini begitu mudah dan menyenangkan, maka hanya dengan berlatih dadakan 1-2 lagu, dan dengan dipandu dengan sangat baik oleh teh Ika dan kang Sam, maka seketika juga para pemain angklung yang berjumlah lebih dari 10000 pemain itu bisa dengan sangat merdu memainkan sebuah lagu “You raise me up” yang pernah dipopulerkan oleh Josh Groban.

Alat musik angklung selain unik, juga sangat luwes. Ini juga merupakan cerminan dari luwesnya kebudayaan dan orang sunda.

Satu demi satu lagu kemudian dimainkan oleh para peserta, Indonesia pusaka, begitu menggetarkan jiwa dan keharuan. Seakan nada-nada yang merdu tersebut serasa merambat pelan di dalam aliran darah dari kaki hingga sel-sel neuron sehingga merinding bulu kuduk ketika mendengarnya.
Acara ini kemudian ditutup dengan sebuah lagu dari sunda, Pileuleuyan. Ungkapan perpisahan dari sebuah pengalaman tak terlupakan...

Pileuleuyan pileuleuyean..
Sapu nyere pegat simpai
Pileuleuyan pileuleuyean..
Paturay patepang deui..
Amit mundur .. amit mundur
Amit ka jalma nu rea
Amit mundur .. amit mundur
Da kuring arek ngumbara
