What's That?<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Indonesia is the biggest Muslim country in the world. Unlike
other country with Muslim majority I can say that Indonesia is more moderate.
And don’t be mistaken Indonesia is not an Islam country, it means that the law
applied is the national law which is derived from the Dutch law since in the
past Indonesia was under Dutch colonialism. It is also a democratic country and
the right of having a religion is protected under a national law. But…being an
atheist or having no religion is a big NO here, everyone must have one religion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When you arrived at the airport you might see a different
situation especially when it is your first time to a Muslim majority country.
Many women wear veil to cover their heads and they also wear clothes which
cover their whole body. I myself as a Muslim also wear veil. And the women do
not wear big black veil like what you might have seen on TV in other countries.
Muslim women in Indonesia wear more colorful and I can say more fashionable
Muslim clothes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jilbab is commonly used term refer to the hair covering
fabric for women. Hijab is actually the perfect term for that. And the
fashionable Muslim women with hijab is called Hijaber. I am most comfortably
wear bergo or the instant hijab. The price is vary from $2 for the low quality
to more than $25 for the high quality one. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Muslim women wear hijab and they also cover their body with
loose clothes to show modesty. Women’s hair and body shape are considered to
attract men’s lust so that’s why they cover it and just show it to their
husband, father, or uncles from their father’s side. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hijab is wear for daily situation. Your first question for
me might be why do I wear hijab? I started wearing hijab last year and I did it
because of my faith and I believe by wearing it as means of fulfilling His
commandment for modesty. It’s my personal choice and it’s my devotion to God. <span style="color: #444444; line-height: 107%;">Other Muslim women wear the hijab as a means of visibly
expressing their Muslim identity. Some Muslim women wear the hijab to
declare their Islamic identity and provide witness of their faith.
Unfortunately this association has also occasionally resulted in the violent
assaults of Muslim women wearing hijab.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The scarf look hair cover is called pashmina. This rectangle fabric is colorful with variety type of pattern. Lately more and more tutorial on wearing pashmina and hijab are on YouTube, Instagram, or other social media. The tutors have become like a celebrity too, they get many followers and views</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am not good at wearing pashmina. I prefer jilbab bergo! It is an instant hijab, you just wear it through your head and voila!</span><br />

dry season, so do I feel uncomfortable wearing hijab in such weather?
Surprisingly it’s not that hot. I think it is also depend on the hijab fabric
material. So far I feel just good and do not have any problem with the weather.
But yes I have problem with my hair. Since it’s more humid so I am facing hair
loss and dandruff. Thus, on TV there are many products offer special shampoo
for </span><span style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;">Muslim</span><span style="line-height: 107%;"> women with veils. And they show no single hair view on the advertisement. Isn't it amazing?

Every year around 8 million motorcycles are sold around the country. The street is flooded by motorcycle and once an African friend said I'm not Indonesian since I cannot ride one. real Indonesian does ride motorcycle!<br />
<br />
Top motorcycle brands are Honda and Yamaha. The two Japanese motorcycle manufacturers predicted that in 2017 there will be at least 10 million motorcycles produce by that year. In Indonesia someone should be at least 17 years old to ride motorcycle though the fact is many students less than 17 ride their motorcycles to school or somewhere near their neighborhood which is definitely against the law and dangerous.<br />
<br />
How much does a motorcycle cost. Well the brand new Honda and Yamaha is about 13 - 15 million rupiah or $974 - $1,123 and of course it can be paid by installment. WIth only $70 or less down payment, people can get the motorcycles delivered to their home the following day and the installment can be arranged up to 3 years with interest and insurance. Each month installment is around $55. So basically motorcycle price is affordable. Even in one family can have 2 to 3 motorcycles. This is why the number of motorcyclist in Indonesia is quite a lot.<br />

How do Indonesians ride their motorcycles? Sometimes solo and even 3 to 4 people can be on a motorcycle - this is actually against the law too. A policeman can give a ticket to these people. Even in dry season or in rainy season they motorcyclist cover almost all over their body. They wear face mask, gloves, and sometimes sunglasses with helmet. The hot weather makes Indonesians cover their body with jacket - sometimes a leather jacket. In rainy season too, a thick and thin jacket under a raincoat is used. Motorcycle has become a very common vehicle and many creative ideas has come from this 2 wheels machine ride.<br />

I was amazed at Korea and its best things as described by my dear friend Jiyoung. She actually mentioned 7 things instead of 6 ha ha. And so I will also mention 6 things (plus one) that I like about my home country Indonesia :)<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>1. The Religious National Holidays</b></div>
<br />
There are 6 official religions in Indonesia Islam, Christianity, Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Confucianism. Each of this religion has its celebration and festive and officially it becomes the national holiday. To me it is great. It shows how the government respect diversity in terms of religious rituals and activities although majority of the country is Muslim. The national holidays also promote unity among the citizens. We're diverse but we are one, we have our own religions but we celebrate is as one nation :)<br />
Here's list of the religious national holidays. I do not post the date since it is changing every year because the Muslim used the Islamic calendar, Christian with its Gregorian calendar, Buddhist with its own calendar etc. The country used the Gregoriam Calendar, so in every new year what I do is check the religious holidays which date will be different with the previous year :P<br />
<br />
<b>Islam</b><br />
Birth of the Prophet Muhammad<br />
Ascencion of Prohet Muhammad<br />
Eid-al-Fitr (The biggest festive. It is also the longest national holiday celebrate by the whole nation)<br />
Feast of the Sacrifice<br />
Islamic New Year (also Javanese New Year)<br />
Birth of the Prophet<br />
<br />
<b>Confucianism</b><br />
Chinese New Year<br />
<br />
<b>Hinduism</b><br />
Day of Silence<br />
<br />
<b>Christianity and Catholicism</b><br />
Good Friday<br />
Ascension Day<br />
Christmas<br />
<br />
<b>Buddhism</b><br />
Buddha's birthday<br />
<br />

<b>2. The People</b><br />
People are friendly (in their own way). Even in big cities people tend to be selfish and cold but still you can find nice Indonesians every where. They will ask you many questions and its considered to be normal and it's a friendly way to say hi here in Indonesia. People might also look at you head to toe not because they feel insecure but they just want to know more about you, yes Indonesians tend to be the want-to-know type of people but hey that's how people become closer to you :) They will happily show you everything and tell you everything. It is also part of the courtesy :P As I said, Indonesian are friendly in their own way, so don't misunderstood.<br />
<br />
Indonesian physically different in an area to another.Indonesia is the fourth largest country in population with more than 250 individuals. Its ethnic composition is characterized by a wide variety as the country contains hundreds of different ethnic groups and cultures. People in the west part of Indonesia usually shorter compare to those in the east part of Indonesia. I have tan skin and straight hair while some in the eastern part have curly hair and darker tan skin just like the Brazilian. Those inhabit Papua, the most eastern part of Indonesia look like the Aborigines. Some look like Chinese.<br />

Indonesian are happy people! According to a research by Research Company Ipsos, on their early 2014 survey, Indonesia is on the first rank among other worldwide countries as the happiest country. Indonesia with 55% is way up above India on the second place 41%, Mexico 38%, Brazil 33%, South Africa United States 26%, and Canada 24%. Age, education, and social-economy are few factors among others that determined the survey.<br />

Yes life is hard but Indonesian can still find their simple happiness in every way. In the past people believe that having more children means happier life. Surrounded by many children and relatives wouldn't give them headache, i think it will be totally the opposite in Korea, isn't it? Ha ha Even now many young couples have at least two children, and having 3 children is pretty common.<br />

<b>3. Nature's Beauty</b><br />
Indonesia has a big and wide area. It is an archipelago with thousands islands. I live in East Java Province, part of Java island and nature scattered around the province where I live is just pretty. There are beautiful beaches, mountains and volcanoes, waterfalls, caves, underwater world, jungles, historical sites, temples, anything you name it we have it. I don't think I can even go to each of the natural beauties in my country from east to west. Here are some of the places I want to go, I've been to only one of them, Mount Bromo which is located in the province where I live.<br />

Warung is street food small "restaurant". There are many great food sold at great street warung.

<b>5. Tasty Food</b><br />
I love Indonesian food. One of famous Indonesian food called Rendang is one of world's best food according too CNN Travel. This super yummy spicy (not hot) meet dish. Other Indonesian food is super yummy. We Indonesian use whatever scattered in the neighborhood and the skillful hands of our mothers changed the ingredients into nice food. From plants in the bushes into weird fruit and tubes plant under the ground can be eaten. Indonesian famous food and also my favorites are the following.<br />

<b>6. Batik</b><br />
Batik is a technique of wax-dying on a piece of fabric. It;s like painting with wax on a cloth and then dyeing it with colors then a beautiful Each area in Indonesia has its own pattern and the pattern of course symbolize something. Java is the most popular area where various type of batik pattern can be found. In October 2009, batik was designated as Masterpice of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. Batik can be wear for formal or informal occasion. Wearing batik is like wearing a piece of art for me. More and more young people loves batik as the government also campaign about this batik loving movement. School students wear batik and few schools even ask their students to make their own batik and they wear it as their uniform. So the students wear different handmade batik clothes as their school uniforms.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First of all, I’d like to tell you that
Koreans rarely use gestures, compared to most Westerners. I have to admit that Koreans are sort of shy when it comes to gestures. We don't use gestures very often, but there are some noticeable ones we use. The most widely and frequently used gesture in Korea is to bow. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pertama-tama Anda perlu tahu bahwa orang Korea jarang menggunakan sikap tangan tertentu, dibanding dengan orang-orang Barat. Saya harus mengakui bahwa orang-orang Korea cukup pemalu jika menyangkut sikap tangan. Kami tidak terlalu sering menggunakan sikap tertentu, tetapi ada beberapa yang sering kami gunakan. Sikap yang paling mudah dikenali dan digunakan secara umum adalah membungkuk. </span></i></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Koreans
bow to each other when they first meet. Let me take an example. If you visit my
office, I would stand up and bow to you to greet you. But even if you’re my
colleague working in the same office, I would still bow to you every morning
and say ‘Anyeonghaseyo (Hi). But I don’t bow to colleagues when I leave the
office, because I don’t want to let them know that I’m leaving earlier than
them. :P <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #990000;"><i>Orang Korea membungkuk satu sama lain ketika pertama kali mereka bertemu. Begini contohnya, jika Anda mengunjungi kantor saya maka saya akan berdiri dan membungkuk untuk menyapa Anda. Tetapi walaupun anda adalah rekan kerja saya yang bekerja di kantor yang sama, saya tetap akan membungkuk pada Anda setiap pagi dan berkata "Anyeonghaseyo" (Halo). Tetapi saya tidak membungkuk pada rekan kerja ketika saya meninggalkan tempat kerja karena saya tidak ingin mereka tahu saya pergi pulang sebelum mereka ha ha.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The bow is used among families as well. On
holidays when families gather together, I bow to my grandmother, grandfather,
uncles, aunts and other relatives older than me. And I also bow to them when
they leave or when I leave. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><i>Sikap membungkuk juga digunakan di antara keluarga. Di hari libur ketikaanggota keluarga berkumpul bersama, say amembungkuk pada nenek, kakek, paman, bibi, dan semua sanak saudara yang lebih tua daripada saya. Saya juga membungkuk pada mereka ketika mereka pergi atau ketika saya akan pulang. </i></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another thing I’d like to share is the use
of both hands. The basic rule is Koreans usually use both hands to show respect
to the elderly. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="color: #990000;">Hal lain yang ingin saya bagi adalah penggunaan kedua tangan. Aturan dasarnya adalah orang Korea menggunakan kedua tangannya untuk menghormati mereka yang lebih tua. </i><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For instance, if I drink with my boss or
someone older than me, I should use both hands to offer him/her a drink. It’s
the same when he/she gives me a drink. I have to use both hands to take the
glass. Also, I would turn my head slightly to the left or right when drinking
the glass offered by older people</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i style="color: #990000;">Contohnya ketika saya minum dengan atasan saya atau dengan seseorang yang lebih tua daripada saya. saya harus menggunakan kedua tangan saya untuk menawarkan dia (laki-laki atau perempuan) minum. Ini sama halnya ketika dia menuangkan saya minu. Saya harus menggunakan kedua tangan saya untuk menerima minumannya. Dan saya harus menoleh sedikit ke arah kiri atau kanan ketika minum dari gelas di depan orang yang lebih tua.</i></span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It’s a cultural thing that those in the
other parts of the world would find strange. But in Korea, directly meeting the
eyes of other people is often considered awkward or even rude sometimes, particularly
if the other person is much older than you. So if I’m drinking in front of my
boss, my father, or anybody older than me, I would turn my head and look the
other way before and while drinking. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i style="color: #990000; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Ini adalah adat yang mungkin bagi orang lain cukup aneh. Tapi di Korea bertatap mata langsung dengan orang lain sering kali dianggap aneh atau bahkan kasar, khususnya jika Anda berhadapan dengan orang yang lebih tua dari Anda. Jadi jika saya sedang minum di depan atasan saya, ayah saya, atau siapa saja yang lebih tua daripada saya maka saya akan menoleh ke arah lain sebelum minum atau ketika minum.</i></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Moreover, one is expected to use both hands
when shaking hands with an older person or his/her boss. My new boss came last
month, and he moved around the office on his first day to say hello to
colleagues. When he reached out his right hand for handshaking, I lightly
grabbed my right arm with my left hand, slightly above the wrist or near the elbow and then held
his hand. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i style="color: #990000; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Terlebih ketika seseorang harus bersalaman dengan orang yang lebih tua atau dengan atasannya, baik itu laki-laki maupun perempuan. Atasan baru saya datang bulan lalu, dan dia berkeliling kantor di hari pertamanya untuk menyapa para kolega. Ketika dia mengulurkan tangan kanannya untuk bersalaman, saya sedikit memegang lengan kanan saya dengan tangan saya, sedikit di atas pergelangan tangan atau dekat dengan siku dan kemudian menjabat tangannya.</i></span></div>

Being the second biggest city in Indonesia, as any other big cities in developing countries, the traffic is pretty rough though it's not as bad as the country's capital, Jakarta. The city's slogan is the green and clean city. It is also a sparkling city. You can find many nice green parks in the city and also trees. There are not too many tall building but yes many new hotels, apartments, and buildings are built in the last 5 years. And oh...I forgot to mention, the motorcycles are everywhere too :P. Some of these pictures are taken by me and the rest are taken from various sources, the photo credit is listed under each picture :)<br />

<i><span style="color: #990000;">수라바야는 동자바 주(East Java)의 수도입니다. 인도네시아 제 2의 도시로, 다른 개도국의 대도시들과 마찬가지로 교통이 좋지 않은 편이지만, 인도네시아의 수도인 자카르타만큼 나쁘지는 않습니다. 수라바야의 슬로건은 깨끗한 녹색 도시입니다. 그리고 빛나는 도시이기도 합니다. 도시 곳곳에서 많은 녹지 공원과 나무들을 볼 수 있습니다. 고층 건물들이 많지는 않지만 지난 5년 동안 많은 호텔, 아파트, 건물들이 새로이 지어졌습니다. 아, 그리고 깜빡했는데, 여기도 어디에나 오토바이가 있습니다. :P 아래 사진 중 일부는 제가 찍은 것이고, 나머지는 여러 곳에서 가져온 곳이며, 사진의 출처는 각 사진 아래에 적혀 있습니다. </span></i><br />

<span lang="EN-US">I’m certain that Seoul has one of the best
subway and bus systems in the world. Look at the picture below, the map of
subway lines in Seoul, the bustling capital of Korea. It’s very colorful and
complex, because we have as many as 9 subway lines running across the city. The
extensive subway network allows you to go anywhere within Seoul and some part
of suburban areas as well. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><i style="color: #990000;">Saya sangat yakin bahwa Seoul adalah kota dengan sistem transportasi kereta bawah tanah terbaik di dunia. Lihatlah gambar di bawah ini, ini adalah peta jalur kereta bawah tanah di Seoul, ibu kota yang super sibuk. Petanya terlihat sangat berarna dan rumit, karena ada 9 jalur kereta bawah tanah yang melintas di seluruh kota. Jaringan padat ini juga memudahkan Anda untuk pergi ke mana saja di dalam wilayah Seoul dan juga ke beberapa wilayah pinggiran lainnya.</i></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I usually take the line number 1 (the dark
blue line) to work, from my home to the downtown office strict of the city. It
takes about an hour to get to work, and this costs me about two dollars a day. I
work on 3-days-a-week basis, so I usually spend approximately 50 to 60 dollars
of subway fares a month. The basic subway fare is KRW 1100, which is equivalent
to USD 1. The longer you travel, the higher the fare goes up. But it won’t go
higher than 2 dollars if you move around within Seoul.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i style="color: #990000;">Saya biasanya mengambil kereta jalur 1 (garis warna biru tua) untuk menuju tempat kerja, dari rumah saya ke kantor yang letaknya tepat di pusat kota. Waktu tempuhnya sekitar 1 jam ke tempat kerja dan tairfnya sekitar 2 dolar sehari, Saya bekerja biasanya 3 hari dalam seminggu, jadi saya menghabiskan kurang lebih $50 - $60 sebulan untuk tarif kereta. Tarif dasar kereta bawah tanah adalah 1100 Won Korea atau setara dengan $1. Semakin jauh Anda bepergian maka semakin tinggi pula tarifnya. Tapi tarifnya tidak akan melebihi 2 dolar juga Anda hanya bepergian di wilayah Seoul.</i></div>

But I prefer bus to subway, because I can
see the city streets passing by outside of the bus window. If it’s not winter,
I usually open the window slightly to enjoy the breeze. You can see three types
of buses in Seoul, a relatively small green bus, regular-sized green bus, blue
bus, and red one. Click <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seoul_Buses">here</a> if you want to know more about the Seoul bus
system.<br />
<i style="color: #990000;">Tapi saya lebih memilih bus daripada kereta bawah tanah, karena saya bisa melihat kesibukan jalanan kota dari jendela bus. Ketika bukan musim dingin, saya membuka sedikit jendela bus untuk merasakan angin sepoi-sepoi. Anda bisa melihat ada 3 bus di Seoul; yang pertama bus hijau yang ukurannya kecil, kemudian bus hijau berukuran normal, bus warna biru dan bus warna merah. Klik link di atas jika Anda ingin tahu lebih banyak tentang sistem bus Seoul. </i><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">When you transfer from bus to subway or
vice versa, or from bus to bus or between subway lines, discount is applied.
But the discount is available only when you transfer within 30 minutes and pay
with T-money card (transportation card) or credit card. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><i style="color: #990000;">Ketika Anda perlu oper dari bus ke kereta bawah tanah atau lainnya, atau dari satu bus ke bus lain, atau antara kereta bawah tanah satu ke lainnya maka ada diskon yang diberlakukan. Tetapi diskon ini hanya berlaku dalam jangka waktu 30 menit saja dan jika Anda membayar dengan kartu T-money (kartu transportasi) atau dengan kartu kredit.</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">So if you use public transpiration, it will
cost you less than 10 dollars a day no matter how far and long you move around
the city. Most of Koreans use credit cards with transportation payment feature.
Minors who are not eligible for credit card use T-money card or debit card. I
use cash for bus or subway only when I forget to bring my credit card. If you
come to Seoul, the first thing you have to do is buying T-money card and
getting a subway map. If you have difficulties in using the subway, ask people
or go to the Station Office. Koreans would be willing to help you.</span><br />
<i style="color: #990000;">Jadi jika Anda menggunakan transpirtasi, paling banyak dalam sehari Anda hanya akan menghabiskan kurang dari 10 dolar sejauh apapun perjalanan Anda selama Anda masih di dalam wilayah kota Seoul. Kebanyakan orang Korea membayar dengan kartu kredit yang dilengkapi dengan fitur pembayaran transportasi umum. Anak-anak di bawah umur yang belum punya kartu kredit menggunakan kartu T-money atau kartu debit. Saya menggunakan uang tunai untuk membayar bus atau kereta bawah tanah hanya jika saya lupa membawa kartu kredit. Jika Anda datang berkunjung ke Seoul hal pertama yang harus Anda lakukan adalah membeli kartu T-money dan mencari peta kereta bawah tanah. JIka Anda mengalami kesulitan untuk menggunakan kereta bawah tanah maka Anda bisa bertanya pada orang-orang di sekitar Anda atau pergilah ke kantor stasiun. Orang-orang akan dengan senang hati membantu Anda.</i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">When traveling to other countries, I am
often warned to drink only bottled water. But in Korea, the tap water is very
safe and clean and you can even drink it without any stomach problem, even
though most Koreans still prefer to drink processed or bottled water. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><i style="color: #990000;">Ketika bepergian ke negara lain, saya sering kali diingatkan untuk minum hanya dari air munum kemasan. Tapi di Korea, air kran sangat aman dan bersih jadi Anda bisa minum langsung tanpa masalah perut sesudahnya, walaupun begitu kebanyak orang Korea lebih memilih minum dari air minum kemasan.</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">But even if you don’t drink water directly
from the tap, the Korean tap water is still great. I don’t know how to explain
it, but you will feel the difference of water quality if you shampoo your hair
or take a shower every day in Korea. The water feels much smoother. When I stayed
in LA and Vegas for couple of weeks, I felt my hair and skin got rough. It was
the same when I stayed in Jakarta for a week. So I guess, from my personal
experience, the tap water in Korea is not only safe and clean but also good for
your skin. Isn’t it interesting?<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><i style="color: #990000;">Tetapi, walaupun Anda tidak bisa minum langsung air dari kran, air kran Korea tetap enak. Saya tidak tahu bagaimana menjelaskannya, tetapi Anda bisa merasakan perbedaan kualitas airnya jika Anda sedang keramas atau jika Anda mandi setiap hari di Korea, Airnya terasa lebih lembut. Ketika saya dulu tinggal di LA dan Vegas selama 2 minggu, saya bisa merasakan rambut dan kulit saya terasa kasar. Hal ini sama seperti yang saya rasakan ketika saya di Jakarta selama seminggu. Jadi saya rasa dari pengalamanpribadi, air kran di Korea bukan hanya aman dan bersih tetapi juga bagus untuk kulit Anda. Bukankah hal ini sangat menyenangkan?</i></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">If you are walking on a street of Seoul, or
any city in Korea, it won’t be a problem to find a clean and pleasant public
toilet that you can use free of charge. As soon as you arrive at the Incheon
International Airport, which was named the best airport in the world for many
times, you can see a lot of public restrooms fully equipped with auto flush,
hand dryer, diaper changing seat, and stalls for the disabled. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<i style="color: #990000;">Jika Anda sedang berjalan-jalan di jalanan Seoul atau kota lian di Korea, bukanlah suatu masalah untuk mencari toilet umum yang bersih dan nyaman dan tentunya gratis. Tepat ketika Anda sampai di Bandara Internasional Incheon, yang mendapat predikat sebagai bandara terbaik di dunia beberapa kali, Anda bisa melihat banyak sekali toilet umum yang dilengkapi dengan auto flush alias pengguyur otomatis, pengering tangan, kursi pengganti popok, dan toilet dengan tempat duduk khusus untuk orang cacat.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Also, all subway stations have at least one
public restroom, and in some large stations, there are often as many as 3
public restrooms in the station. Most office buildings open their lobby floor
to the public, so one can use restroom of the buildings as well. I think Korea
is among the top countries with clean public bathrooms. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><i style="color: #990000;">Sebagai tambahan, semua stasiun bawah tanah punya setidaknya satu toilet umum dan di stasiun besar ada setidaknya 3 toilet umum. Sebagian besar gedung perkantoran punya lobi yang terbuka untuk umum sehingga orang-orang bisa menggunakan toilet di gedung tersebut.

want just kick back and relax, watching your favorite TV shows? No problem.
Fried chickens and fresh beer are delivered to any Korean home until late at
night, mostly 11PM and even by 2AM. It’s called ‘Chimac’ in Korean, a shorted
word combining ‘chicken’ and ‘beer’ (mac-joo in Korean language). They are
great midnight snack you can enjoy yourself or with friends. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<i style="color: #990000;">O..o...Anda bukan penggila pesta? Jadi Anda hanya ingin bersantai di rumah dan nonton acara TV favorit? Bukan masalah! Ayam goreng dan bir segar siap dikirim ke rumah-rumah di seluruh Seoul sampai larut malam, biasanya sampai jam 11 malam bahkan ada yang siap kirim sampai jam 2 pagi. Ini disebut "Chimac" dalam bahasa Korea yang merupakan singkatan dari kata "chicken" (ayam) dan bir (mac-joo dalam bahasa Korea). Ayam goreng dan bir adalah jajanan tengah malam yang bisa Anda nikmati sendiri atau bersama teman-teman tersayang.</i><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Today morning, I saw a news article that
Korea’s internet speed is about 5.6 times faster than the international
average. That’s true! Whenever I travel in other countries, I always moan about
the slow internet speed as I am spoiled with the fast and convenient internet
experience in my home country. In Korea, it usually takes less than a second to
open a webpage. Downloading is fast and you can even use free wifi in subway
trains. But the free subway wifi is sometimes slow and the connection might be
unstable. Yet it’s a great advantage that you can use free internet on the go
while you are going to work or home. Also, most of coffee shops offer free wifi
access as well. So it is no exaggeration that Korea is one of the most wired
countries in the world. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><i>Pagi ini saya membaca sebuah artikel yang menyatakan bahwa kecepatan internet di Kore 5.6 kali lebig cepat daripada rata-rata kecepatan interney internasional. Itu betul! Ketika saya bepergian di negara-negara lain, saya selalu mengeluh tetang lambatnya akses internet karena saya sudah terbiasa dimanjakan dengan cepatnya akses internet di kampung halaman. Di Korea untuk membuka sebuah situs diperlukan waktu kurang dari 1 detik. Mengunduh sangatlah cepat dan Anda bisa menggunakan wifi gratos di kereta subway (bawah tanah). Tapi wifi gratis subway biasanya lambat dan koneksinya kadang tidak stabil. Tapi tetap saja ini adalah sebuah keuntungan karena kases internet gratis bisa didapat ketika Anda dalam perjalanan menuju ke tempat kerja atau ke rumah. Selain itu kedai kopi juga slealu dilengkapi dengan wifi gratis. Jadi tidaklah berlebihan jika Korea disebut sebagai salah satu negara dengan banyak koneksi kabel di dunia.</i></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">As fast and easy internet access is available
everywhere, online shopping is very common in Korea. Especially, I often buy
clothes online because they are far more expensive at the department stores. </span>Of course the design, quality of the
fabric, and details are different. But given the fast-changing fashion world, it might be a good idea to buy clothes online instead of investing
half of your monthly wage into a coat or jacket.<br />
<i><span style="color: #990000;">Semudah dan secepat akses internet yang tersedia di mana-mana, berbelanja secara online juga hal yang sangat lumrah di Korea. Saya khususnya sangat suka membeli baju secara online karena harganya jauh lebih murah daripada yang dijual di department store. Tentu saja desain, kualitas kain, dan detilnya berbeda. Tetapi dengan perubahan mode di dunia fashion, menurut saya membeli baju online jauh lebih baik daripada menghamburkan separo gaji untuk sebuah mantel atau jaket.</span></i></div>

<span lang="EN-US">On top of clothes, you can order anything
online in Korea-bottled water, fruits, electronic devices, large home
appliances like fridge, toys, furniture, books….just name it! You can find
everything on the internet. The largest shopping malls in Korea include 11st,
Auction, and Gmarket. Auction and Gmarket were acquired by ebay. Interestingly,
11st is run by a telecom carrier. I always use big shopping malls because
sometimes it is not easy or take longer to get a refund or get what you ordered
at small online stores. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><i><span style="color: #990000;">Selain pakaian, Anda bisa memesan apa saja secara online di Korea, mulai dari minuman botol, buah-buahan, peralatan elektronik, perlengkapan rumah tangga ukuran besar seperti kulkas, mainan, furnitur, buku, apa saja tinggal sebutkan. Semua bisa Anda temukan di internet. Mall terbesar di Korea adalag 11st, Auction, dan Gmarket. Auction dan Gmarket diakusisi oleh ebay. Menariknya, 11st dijalankan oleh provider telekomunikasi. Saya selalu menggunakan shopping mall online besar karena terkadang di toko-toko online kecil membutuhkan waktu pengiriman yang lebih lama dan terkadang jaminan uang kembalinya memakan waktu yang lumayan lama.</span><span style="color: #cc0000;"> </span></i></span></div>

But if you go to traditional, open-air markets like Namdamun Market, stores are
more likely to refuse credit card. Also, street peddlers don’t take credit
card. Some stores may charge higher when customers want to pay with credit
card, saying it’s because of the commission they have to pay to the credit card

on areas, but the temperature in the northern part of Korea often goes down
below -20 degrees. I live in Seoul, the middle part of the country, and the
temperature in the city stays between 5 to minus 15 degrees during the winter
season. If the temperature is above zero in winter, people say ‘It is <b>NOT</b> so cold
today!’ </span><br />

My name is Silvana. I'm the Indonesian blogger, Jiyoung's friend. Thank's to Jiyoung who responded well to this project, finally we can introduce you things in our life from Korea and Indonesia. When I mentioned Indonesia, a country with more than 17,000 islands it should not represent the general face of custom/culture of Indonesia. Posts here are from the place where I live, my own experience and comparison to Jiyoung's posts.<br />
I hope you like the blog :)<br />
Thank you<br />
감사합니다.<br />

If you haven't read her post about it, simply click<a href="http://nasinkimchi.blogspot.com/2015/02/cotton-candy-affogato-cloud-on-my-cup.html"> here</a>. I think it's a brilliant idea for coffee shops to invent such cute menu. I wonder how was the affogato selling in Valentine's Day. There's no Affogato on a cup in Indonesia, wel..so far I haven't seen any. But Affogato is known as gula kapuk or arumanis in my local language. Gula is sugar and kapuk is kapok. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="color: #990000;">저는 한국 친구가 아포카토와 솜사탕에 대해 써 준 포스트가 정말 좋았습니다. 아직 읽어보시지 않았다면 여기(<a href="http://nasinkimchi.blogspot.com/2015/02/cotton-candy-affogato-cloud-on-my-cup.html">here</a>)를 클릭하시기 바랍니다. 그처럼 귀여운 메뉴를 만들어 내다니, 커피숍의 아이디어가 정말 훌륭하다고 생각합니다. 발렌타인 데이에 그 아포가토가 얼마나 팔렸을지 궁금하네요. 인도네시아에는 아직 아포가토가 없어서..저는 아직 본 적은 없습니다. 하지만 우리나라 말로 아포가토는 gula kapuk 이나 arumanis로 알려져 있습니다. Gula는 설탕이고, Kapuk은 카폭(kapok)입니다. </span></i><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Kapok is a tropical tree and may also refer to the cotton-like fluff obtained from its seed pods. The fiber is used for pillow filling. But nowadays people choose the synthetic fiber instead of the natural kapok fiber for pillow filling. Gula kapuk / arumanis form is fluffy just like kapuk. That's why it is called gula kapuk. Arumanis is the term used in my neighborhood. Manis from the name arum means sweet. </span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #990000;">카폭은 열대지방의 나무 또는 그 씨앗이 담긴 꼬투리에서 얻는 폭신한 부분을 뜻합니다. 이 섬유질은 베개 속으로 사용됩니다. 하지만 요즘 사람들은 베개 속으로 천연 카폭 섬유 대신 함성 섬유를 택하고 있습니다. Gula kapuk/arumanis의 모양은 카폭 처럼 폭신폭신합니다. 그래서 이런 이름이 지어졌습니다. Arumanis는 제가 사는 지역에서 사용되는 말입니다. Manis는 그 이름에서 나온 것이고, arum은 달콤하다는 뜻입니다. </span></i><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Nowadays it's pretty hard to find gula kapuk street vendor. I also rarely see gula kapuk sold in a mall or tourist area. Usually it is sold in a night market. There is modern machine to make gula kapuk, but the traditional way is still fascinating. You can see how the gula kapuk is made in this video.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: inherit;"><i>요즘은 gula kapuk(솜사탕)을 파는 상인들을 찾아보기 힘듭니다. 저도 쇼핑몰이나 관광지에서 솜사탕을 파는 사람을 별로 본 적이 없어요. 보통은 야시장에서 판매한답니다. 솜사탕을 만드는 현대식 기계도 있지만, 전통적인 방법도 여전히 매력적이죠. 솜사탕 만드는 방법은 이 비디오에 나와 있습니다. </i></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As you can see the seller uses his bike for gula kapuk production. He used a motor with methanol as the fuel. Ignited with a match the motor turns the spin wheel to change the pink pigmented sugar into soft kapuk sugar web. In the past the seller paddled his bike's pedal to run the motor. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: inherit;"><i>비디오에서 볼 수 있듯이, 이 상인은 솜사탕을 만들기 위해 오토바이를 사용합니다. 메탄올 모터를 연료로 사용하는 거죠. 성냥으로 불을 붙이면, 모터가 바퀴를 돌려서 분홍색 설탕을 부드러운 설탕 거미줄로 만들어 냅니다. 예전에는 상인이 페달을 직접 밟아서 모터를 돌리곤 했답니다. </i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Gula kapuk is sold for 5000 rupiah. $1 is around 12,000 rupiah so you can get 2 gula kapuk for one dollar. When you find a gula kapuk seller on your trip to Surabaya, don't forget to try this simple sweet delicacy :) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000;"><i>솜사탕의 가격은 5천 루피아입니다. 1달러가 약 12,000 루피아이니 1달러로 솜사탕 2개를 살 수 있는 셈이네요. 수라바야로 여행 중 솜사탕 파는 사람을 만난다면, 이 달콤한 별미를 맛보는 것을 잊지 마세요. </i>:)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
ㅗKoreans love coffee. Coffee shops are located on almost every street corner and the competition is fierce among dozens of local and international coffee franchises ranging from Starbucks to Cafe Bene. One statistics showed that half of the coffee shops are closed within 3 years of business establishment.<br />
<i><span style="color: #990000;">Orang Korea suka kopi. banyak skeali cofee shop yang tersebar di sepanjang jalan di semua sudut kota, kompetisi antara cofee shop lokal dan internasional macam Starbucks atau Cafe Bene pun semakin sengit. Sebuah statistik menunjukkan bahwa kurang lebih setengah (50%) coffee shop tutup setelah bisnis berjalan selama 3 tahun.</span></i><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
(Oh no!!!) So what small players should do to survive? They have to differentiate themselves from the big ones. One good example of such effort could be a unique menu that franchise cafes don't offer.</div>
<div>
<i><span style="color: #990000;">Oh tidak! Lalu apa yang harus dilakukan oleh pengusaha kecil untuk bisa bertahan? Mereka harus punya ciri khas yang membedakan dari cofee shop besar. Salah satu langkah kreatif yang dilakukan adalah dengan memasukkan menu unik yang tidak disajikan di cofee shop franchise lain.</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So here comes cotton candy affogato. It is still not widely known but getting increasingly hot with its sweet and pretty look.</span><br />
<i><span style="color: #990000;">Inilah gula kapuk affogato. Belum banyak dikenal tapi menu ini sedang jadi tren baru di Korea dengan penampilannya yang cantik dan rasanya yang manis.</span></i></div>

So if you order this, you have to wait at least 5 minutes to get it served. The cafe staff said it takes about 2 minutes to get the machine heated and another 2-3 minutes to make a cotton candy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Jadi jika kamu memesan menu ini, kamu harus menunggu kurang kebuh 5 menit sampai siap disajikan.

<div>

<div>
<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><em>살림(Salim)과 숭껨(Sungkem)은 어르신들께 예의와 공경을 표시하는 손 키스 제스처입니다. 살림과 숭껨은 지금도 사람들이 일상 생활에서 사용하고 있기는 하지만 현대의 가족 사이에서는 이제 그렇게 많이 쓰이지는 않습니다</em>.</span> </span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The term "salim" and "sungkem" might be the same, but in the place where I live they have different meanings. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Salim and Sungkem are terms used by Javanese. There are differences between the two. Salim is a hand-kissing gesture addressed to older person of both genders or to someone admirable. It shows respect and even devotion. The person greets by holding out someone's hand with the palm facing downward and kiss it lightly or draw the hand to his/her own forehead. This practice is commonly done by Javanese.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Salim" is a normal everyday "scene" at schools in my city. Students do "salim" to respect their teachers.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Sungkem", on the other hand, is a special gesture done in "Lebaran" (a term that Indonesian used for Islamic biggest holiday Eid-al-fitr). It is carried out by children to their parents or wife to her husband by kneeling down and kiss the sitting-respectful person's hand with two hands, unlike salim which hold one's hand with one hand only. People who receive "sungkem" usually will pat the greeter's shoulder and head. This gesture is more private, emotional, and usually full of tears. It is also a symbol of asking for forgiveness, devotion, and big respect.</span></div>

<em><span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">반면 "숭껨"은 르바란(Lebaran-이슬람 최고의 명절 Eid-al-fitr의 인도네시아식 표현)</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">간에 행하는 특별한 행동입니다. 아이들이 부모에게, 또는 아내가 남편에게 무릎을 꿇고 앉아 있는 상대방의 손을 두 손으로 잡고 키스하는 것입니다. 한 손으로 상대방의 한 손을 잡는 살림과는 다르지요. 숭껨을 받는 사람은 보통 인사하는 사람의 어깨와 머리를 가볍게 두드립니다. 이 동작은 보다 특별하고, 감정적이며 눈물 속에 이루어지기도 합니다. 숭껨은 용서, 헌신, 커다란 존경을 청하는 행위이기도 합니다.</span></span></em></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unlike "salim" which is done in everyday situation, "sungkem" is more special. So, next time when you go to Indonesia and meet children then they ask to kiss for your hand then don't be surprised. It's how they respect older people :) </span></div>

Have you ever seen this in Korean dramas?<br />
Maybe yes, because it is one of the most popular winter snacks in Korea called Bungeoppang (붕어빵). Bungeo means fish and ppang means bread in Korean. So literally it is fish-shaped bread, but it would be more correct to call it one kind of pastry.<br />
<i><span style="color: #990000;">Pernah nonton drama Korea dan menemukan kue ini?</span></i><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><i>Ini adalah snack alias jajanan musim dingin yang super terkenal di iKorea yang disebut Bungeoppang </i> (붕어빵). <i>Bungeo artinya ikan dan ppang artinya roti dalam bahasa Korea. Jadi kalo digabungkan namanya jadilah Roti ikan - roti yang bentuknya ikan. Tapi sebenarnya lebih pas disebut pastry (kue bukan roti)</i></span><br />
<br />

It could be easily seen in the past, but the nunber of Bungeoppang vendors seems to be decreasing. I see less of them in recent years. About 3 to 4 years ago, you could get 4 Bungeoppangs with only 1 dollar. But now you can buy only 3 of them with the same amount of money. The price might slightly differ from town to town.<br />
<i><span style="color: #990000;">Dulu sangat mudah menemukan Bungeoppang dijual di mana-mana, tapi skearang penjual Bungeopp[ang sudah semakin berkurang. Sekitar 3-4 tahun yang lalu, 4 Bungeoppang harganya sekitar $1 alias 12 ribuan. Tapi sekarang hanya dapat 3 Bungeoppang. Tapi bisa jaid harganya berbeda di kota lain. </span></i><br />
<br />
<br />
Making Bungeoppang is not that difficult. First, pour the batter into the fish-shaped mold. Then add some red bean paste. Third, cover the paste with more batter. Next, close the mold cap. Make sure to turn over them after a while to ensure the pastry is fully baked inside out. (The fish mold is separated from each other and you can turn over it one at a time.)<br />
<i><span style="color: #990000;">Membuat Bungeoppang itu tidak mudah. Pertama, adonan dituang ke dalam cetakan kue bentuk ikan. Tambahkan pasta kacang merah. Ketiga, tutp adonan yang sudah diisi dengan adonan tepung lagi. Tutup cetakannya dan bolik cetakan untuk memastikan dua sisi kue matang sempurna . (Cetakan ikannya terpisah satu sama lain tapi bisa dibalik secara bersamaan di atas kompor)</span></i><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwAG2HKx858uptznM2bYPuip0UillGiTH5S4InVJ5KZSZ3yJttbjbcFLkXRkkSg30v6K8zOfLu5GDA7KqAmJmaTdjAOVjlqNrBmoFf4XhyHEmTdd6Z8vPBf_AodHXenbYFrQTNsujli2Q/s1600/160F87574D23CB000FB4B4.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwAG2HKx858uptznM2bYPuip0UillGiTH5S4InVJ5KZSZ3yJttbjbcFLkXRkkSg30v6K8zOfLu5GDA7KqAmJmaTdjAOVjlqNrBmoFf4XhyHEmTdd6Z8vPBf_AodHXenbYFrQTNsujli2Q/s1600/160F87574D23CB000FB4B4.jpeg" height="239" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
They are crispy outside and very soft inside, with sweet red bean taste. (Caution: Very hot inside!!!) What's intersting is there are companies selling pre-made Bungeoppang batter and red bean paste. Doesn't it sound easy? But I guess the cost for mold might be high. Also, you need to keep in mind that you have to work outside in cold winters!!<br />
<i><span style="color: #990000;">Kue ini bagian luarnya renyah dan bagian dalamnya sangat lembut dengan rasa pasta kacang merah yang manis (Awas jika makan harus hati-hati karena bagian dalamnya sangay panas). Yang menarik adalah sekarang ada perusahaan yang menjual adonan Bungeoppang dan juga pasta kacang merahnya. Jadi tinggal menuang saja di cetakan, mudah kan? Tapi saya rasa harga cetakannya agak mahal sih. Oh ya, perlu diingat juga ya bahwa kue ini dimasak di luar dengan cuaca musim dingin yang dingin he he.</span></i><br />
<br />
But don't worry. There are Bungeoppang makers for domestic use. If you are a big fan of Bungeoppang, just invest around 25 dollars to buy one. You can also buy small-volume pre-mix online.<br />
<i><span style="color: #990000;">Jangan khawatir. Ada alat pembuat Bingeoppang untuk penggunaan di rumah. Jika teman-teman penggemar Bungeoppang, sishkan saja uang sekitar $25 untuk membeli cetakannya, Ada juga cetakan yang dijual online dengan ukuran yang lebih kecil</span></i><br />

Recently, there are miniature Bungeoppang, which is about smaller than half the size of original one. It is so cute and I even took a selfie with it!<br />
<i><span style="color: #990000;">Akhir-akhir ini ada juga Bungeoppang mini, ukurannya sekitar setengah dari ukuran Bungeoppang normal. Imut sekali dan saya juga berselfie dengan Bungeoppang mini loh!</span></i><br />
<br />
We love Bungeoppang so much, and there are even ice cream and snack that look like Bungeoppang<br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><i>Kami. orang Korea, sangat suka Bungeoppang, dan bahkan ada es krim dan makanan ringan yang bentuknya persis Bungeoppang</i>.</span><br />

Also I'd like to share with you that Bungeoppang means two identical things in Korean language. For instance, there is a TV show titled Bungeoppang where celebrities and their kids play games together. But this kind of usage is rather casual and not often used in formal settings.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="color: #990000;">Oh ya, Bungeoppang juga berarti 2 hal yang identik dalam bahasa Korea. Di Korea ada acara TV yang berjudul Bungeoppang.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Indonesians love snacks. Some snacks are sold only in the
morning or the afternoon. I am at my father’s home now and I found “nagasari”
(pronounce nogosari). It’s a Javanese traditional snack. It is mix of rice
flour, coconut milk, and banana wrapped in a banana leaf and then steamed. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>인도네시아 사람들은 간식을 좋아합니다. 어떤 간식은 아침이나 오후에만 팝니다. 저는 지금 아버지 집에 있는데, "nagasari"(노고사리로 발음)을 찾았습니다. 노고사리는 자바의 전통적 간식입니다. 밀가루, 코코넛밀크, 바나나를 섞어 바나나 잎에 싸서 찌는 것입니다.</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Most Javanese snacks are made of rice flour. The dough is
mixed with coconut milk instead of milk (the “moo” milk I mean :D ). Banana
leaf is another important material for cooking the traditional recipe. Many
food and snacks are wrapped in banana leaf or sometimes coconut milk.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>대부분의 자바 간식은 쌀가루로 만듭니다. 반죽은 우유(젖소의 우유 :D) 대신 코코넛밀크로 섞습니다. 바나나 잎 또한 전통적 요리법에 중요한 재료입니다. 많은 음식이나 간식들을 바나니 잎이나 코코넛밀크로 감쌉니다.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nogosari is always sold fresh, so it is sold in the morning only. You can find nogosari in street snack vendor. Young people are not a fan of this snack. Old people love this snack more! I myself has just recently found that nogosari tasted "okay" ha ha. It costs around 2000 - 3000 Rupiah ($1 is about 12,000 Rupiah)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>노고사리는 항상 신선하게 판매되기 때문에, 아침에만 판매됩니다. 길거리의 음식 노점상에서 노고사리를 볼 수 있습니다. 젊은 사람들은 이 간식을 그다지 좋아하지 않습니다. 나이가 많은 사람들이 이 간식을 더 좋아합니다! 저도 최근에야 노고사리가 "괜찮은" 맛이라는 것을 알았답니다! 하하..노고사리는 2천에서 3천 루피아입니다. (1달러는 약 12,000루피아입니다.)</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So here’s nogosari. Soft savory a bit sweet snack with
banana filling. Oh I forgot to mention, the banana used to make this snack is
called Pisang Raja (The king banana). It has hard-crunchy texture when it’s
boiled. So it’s perfect for steamed snacks filling. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>이것이 노고사리입니다. 바나나가 들어있고, 부드럽고 약간 달콤한 간식이지요. 아, 노고사리를 만들 때 사용되는 바나나를 Pisang Raja(왕 바나나)라고 한다는 얘기를 깜빡했네요. 이 바나나는 익히면 딱딱하고 씹히는 식감이 있습니다. 그래서 익힌 간식류의 속을 채우기에 딱입니다.</i></span></div>
