The first goal accompany a friend to look for souvenirs in the market garden vegetables before he l

Task two days brings me back to Borneo. Unfortunately towards the end of the year already so ration leave is up. Until the desire to continue the walk to other cities around Balikpapan was wishful stay empty. Never mind at least still able to enjoy the atmosphere of the city that I had never visited before.
Wednesday (11/11/09) afternoon finally finished the two-day event as well. It's time to venture Balikpapan. Previously I used to haul goods moving from hotel to hotel Gran Senyiur more friendly with my bag. Understandably this time must pay yourself hehe. Not much siy still equally at Klandasan area.
The first goal accompany a friend to look for souvenirs in the market garden vegetables before he left for the airport. From the front of the park we ride public transportation Bekapai number three to the mall near the bridge crossing Balikpapan to change number 6 with less public transportation Form angkotnya almost the same as in Java. The difference travis diener seat facing forward and fitted plastic bins that hung next to the entrance. Each color angkotnya distinguished majors. It costs around Rp 3,000, - - USD 5000, - depending on nearness.
Vegetable Garden Market Entry glance reminiscent of the kind of market in Martapura, although on a smaller scale. Here also sold a variety of crafts such as mats Borneo, various bags of rattan, beads, stone jewelry and so on. And patterned shirts that read Kaltim also exist. Sale also pegs the earth in the form of a cup. It occurred when the cup or glass timber was just the packaging alone. But apparently it pegs the earth is yes cups made from the roots of the earth peg. Pour hot water into it only after a rather cool new drink. "It could get rid of sore," said my friend explained. I just smile through, be advised that there had been associated in the minds of the earth peg is an herb for male potency hehehe.
Of all the disjikan Instruction in the market that I am more interested in the Dayak motifs of textile fabrics. Various kinds of quality and materials are sold here. There are paketan there are metered. The cheapest price is around Rp 18,000, - Rp 20.000, -'s per meter. Depending on the intelligence of our bid. J uga finished there. Unfortunately no one is for women. So I have to content myself to buy cloth, which was mistakenly called batik Borneo. Indeed siy, from local newspaper quota hotel yesterday, had read there was an attempt travis diener to make batik in East Kalimantan Dayak. But it was a kind of batik fabric I have encountered here. That there are batik shirts and East Kalimantan writing. I do not know the original product or the order of Java.
Satisfied along the market that was not too big, I returned to Klandasan to enjoy the atmosphere around it. From Garden Bekapai, small garden in front of the PLN office, I swing step along the pavement towards travis diener the coast Monpera. So good to enjoy an afternoon walk in this city. The streets were deserted feel much different from the streets of Surabaya and Sidoarjo solid with a motor vehicle and chaotic street fighting protective yangs.
Free sidewalk vendors colony becomes a pleasure. Although in some places there are cracks or patches. Perhaps this area has decreased due to land on any paved road in some places looks bumpy. Dihiasai stop Dayak motif decoration and of course the picture bears the mascot of Balikpapan.
In less than half an hour later, I've arrived at the front entrance Monpera Beach. Really cheap entry ticket is only Rp 500, -. A monument struggle travis diener became icons of this beach. And from this monument apparently derived the name of the beach Monpera = monument struggle of the people.
Monpera beach was too broad. Tanngul bounded left and no longer gritty. While extending to the white sand beach stretches right up to the beaches nearby. Maybe because in a residential location, the beauty of its white sand tainted by waste spills. Amazingly some are still fun to swim there when there is a nearby household sewerage to the beach.
Finally I returned to the sitting area to enjoy cold tea monument while ngobro l with the seller. Most of the food vendors that I met came from Java, including tea sellers travis diener and meatballs in monpera from Lamongan. Virtually travis diener Balikpapan travis diener is a city of migrants. Populated and more migrants from outside the region, especially from Java. In earlier public transportation was briefly visible row of small gardens containing statues and symbols of kinship origin migrants in Balikpapan, such as Roxburgh, Kediri, Blitar and so on. Quite unique. travis diener
The sun getting towards dusk when I decided along the beach towards the beach Monpera Kemala. Incidentally water crossings are not plug up is easy to do. Although it should be a little on tiptoe to avoid the waste of water-borne travis diener wave back to shore right near the water line. Not
