The javanese statue

The shadow play keychains

Few weeks ago my parents suddenly asked me whether I want to go to INACRAFT or not. Of course I do want to. And tadaaaa~ it was definitely amazing exhibition. All craftings from Indonesia!!! You can imagine how great it is. And I was soooo excited. Here's some pictures that I have taken. Some photos are already deleted from my handphone. Well, stupid me. :)

Basecamp

Last week I 've got a busy schedule. So busy that I couldn't have a proper sleep. Oh crap! And for two days, I went to the same place, that we called as the basecamp. The building was built from colonial era. But its wall has been paste by some banners, which is a headline on magazine or newspaper, from Indonesia or from outside. Here are some photos.

This place is called as Newseum, an office of Wisdom Institute and Indonesia Media Watch.

An Usual Event

At Cikini Station. It was yesterday when the passenger had to walk due to an error pantograph.

Monumen Nasional Jakarta

Called this as a good side from my job. Got an opportunity to spend my working time by walking around in Monumen Nasional Park, the landmark of Jakarta. LOL. Eventhough for some people this monument is not so special, but I think that this monument is one of great examples for public space in a big city. Of course I took some photos. Luckily, my digital camera is somewhat working just fine. I love the color! Sorry I didn't make it to the top. Because yesterday the weather was not so good and there's a long queue. Not an excuse though. :P

Workshop dan Pameran Desain Hias Poci Teh Indonesia

Budaya merupakan hasil cipta, rasa dan karsa manusia yang meliputi seluruh aspek-aspek kehidupan manusia. Salah satu budaya yang sangat dengan kita adalah budaya minum teh. Bagi masyarakat Indonesia, minum teh merupakan suatu kebiasaan yang sudah ada semenjak zaman dahulu kala. Indonesia sendiri merupakan salah satu negara penghasil teh. Seperti kita ketahui bahwa Indonesia sudah menjadi negeri penghasil teh sejak zaman penjajahan.

Kebun-kebun teh di Indonesia sangatlah banyak, tersebar di beberapa pulau, seperti pulau Jawa dan Sumatera. Luas tanah yang dijadikan kebun teh di Indonesia berjumlah 120.000 hektare dengan total produksi sekitar 150 ribu ton per tahun. Sekitar separuhnya, yaitu 75 ribu ton menjadi komoditi ekspor ke luar negeri.

Dalam budaya minum teh, ada piranti yang menemani, seperti misalnya poci teh, yang terbuat dari tanah liat. Kebiasaan minum teh menggunakan poci teh ini berasal dari daerah Tegal. Teh diseduh di dalam poci dan ditambah dengan gula batu, kemudian diminum panas-panas. Poci teh ini sendiri sangat terkenal di daerah Tegal, Slawi, dan Brebes.

Untuk meningkatkan promosi teh, Mitra Edukasi Budaya merencanakan untuk mengadakan Workshop Desain Hias Poci Teh dan Pameran Teh Poci Indonesia. Acara ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan motivasi generasi muda untuk mencintai budaya minum teh melalui kecantikan desain poci teh.

Acara ini akan diadakan pada tanggal 23 Maret 2013 bertempat di Museum Monas, Jakarta. Info lebih lanjut follow akun twitter @EdukasiBudaya atau add akun Faceboook Edukasi Budaya.
