Garut the city of Goat Battle

29/06/2010

My wife’s class room is already finished. She write for her sripsi now. All of her friends also already finished their lesson in her college. So , this is a vacation time for them.

Going to garut,  they sleep in fitria’s house. They visit some cultural and funny place there. Like hotspring, goat battle, mountanious village and traditional foods.

Garut is famous city in indonesia, that known for it dodol and goat battle. Dodol is a sweet food that made from wheat and sugar. The color is brown. Its very delicious and sweet. And its very cheap also. If you compare it with some imported biscuit with a same size.

Garut has many villages that still using traditional culture and ceremony. Its surrounded by mountains and light jungle. Ofcourse light jungle, because there is no heavy jungle like amazon in west java. But if you come from singapore, maybe you can call Garut is surrounded by a deep jungle.

If you come from europe, ofcourse, there will be not so many ferrari car at there. or lamborgini. Because the ferrari car is not so important for west java and indonesia’s people. Because our really important need are good health care and education.

There are many islamic based school (pesantren) in garut. They are good.  You should send some of your many children to there if you live in Garut. But, i think wherever you live in Indonesia, especially at java island, you can find many pesantrens there.

Oh yes, I forgot to tell you this first. Garut is located in the east of bandung. Garut is beside Bandung. Its very close from bandung. If you go there by mini bus, you can spend 2 hours to get there. Almost same with Bandung- Singapore flight time.
