I'm proud be Indonesia people. Althought this country isn't free from politics chaotic, unstable economic, the security still has been inquired, disasters come alternately, but I still proud be Indonesia people. How about you? Sometime, I don't understand why some Indonesia people want to change their nasionality with other nasionality. If we compare our country with another country like Euro or America, we can say Indonesia doesnt go forwarding than them. With all they have more, Are they have what our country have? In Indonesia, start from Sabang until Merauke, we can see everything. Ocean riches, Mountain, beautiful beach, savannah, unique culture, delicious foods, natural resources like cruide oil up to gold, Indonesia have all. So, we should to be proud with our country, Indonesia. Why we still think other home is better than our home? Foreign people also know that our people is the most friendly people in the world. We can see some of them exactly want to be Indonesia

Indonesia. The uncertainty about of Indonesia's general election results has appeared since few days ago. Many people feel disappointed about last general election, because they think the result isn't describing of Indonesian people voice. The General Election 2009 is different with General Election 2004. The different of General Election 2009 and General Election 2004 are: Changing of vote system which last system people vote by punching ballot, and now people vote by mark, The representative candidates elected by people, not by political party anymore, Increasing amount of political party, The form of general election vote is bigger than last election, because the form contain list of political partys and the representative candidates. Average a political party have 5 to 10 the representative candidates. As we know, a changing need more adaptation time for General Election Commitee (Indonesia: Komisi Pemilihan Umum (KPU)) as the organizer of general election, and for Indonesi

Kecewa. Satu kata untuk Sriwijaya FC di liga Champion Asia kemarin. Sriwijaya dibantai habis 5 gol tanpa balas oleh klub sepak bola Jepang, Gamba Osaka. Sebelum melawan Gamba Osaka, Sriwijaya FC juga dibabat 5 - 0 untuk kemenangan tim dari China, Shandong Luneng. Setelah melihat dua pertandingan terakhir Sriwijaya FC di liga Champion Asia, terlihat secara fisik, antara pemain Sriwijaya dengan tim-tim dari Jepang dan China tersebut hampir setara. Untuk masalah skill juga masih dapat mengimbangi tim-tim tersebut. Di Indonesia boleh saja mereka sekarang saat ini berada di papan atas Indonesia Super League (ISL), tapi begitu bertanding di luar Indonesia, mereka tak bisa unjuk gigi. Namun terlihat yang sangat membedakan tim-tim tesebut dengan Sriwijaya FC adalah mental bertanding. Hal tersebut juga terjadi pada Timnas Indonesia. Untuk turnamen skala Asia Tenggara saja, timnas selalu kandas di tengah jalan. Padahal, secara statistik skill pemain-pemain sepak bola Indonesia bisa dikategorikan

Setidaknya itulah yang terjadi saat ini di Subak Lodtunduh dan Subak Bija, Ubud, Gianyar, Bali. Coba bayangkan, puluhan hektar sawah mereka sering mengalami kekeringan hanya karena pelaksanaan wisata arung jeram. Ironis bukan?! Kalo gak percaya, lihat KOMPAS edisi Minggu 29 Maret kemarin. Di Subak Lodtunduh terdapat sawah seluas 25,26 ha. Subak tersebut merupakan salah satu subak yang memanfaatkan air dari bendungan Kedewataan di Sungai Ayung Gianyar. Menurut Nyoman Sudhana, sawah-sawah di subak tersebut selalu mengalami kekeringan terutama setiap hari kamis. Hal tersebut terjadi karena mulut Bendungan Kedewataan ditutup demi pelaksanaan wisata arung jeram. Pengelola wisata arung jeram tersebut pada awalnya hanya memiliki 1 lintasan arung jeram dengan menggunakan alur Sungai Ayung sejauh 11 km, dari Begawan hingga Sobek (Daerah sekitar mulut Bendungan Kedewataan). Namun sejak tahun kemarin pengelola menambah lintasan baru dari Sobek hingga Sayan dengan jarak 2 km. Khusus di lintasan b
