TurBud #32015!

I went with all 32015 to go to Bali and the name of that event was TurBud (Tour Budaya). Before we went to Bali on 3th April, we were  gathering in Kebon Kawung Train Station at 17.30. We used Train from Bandung until Surabaya. The train came at 19.30 and we went to Surabaya at 20.00. I sat with Faisal, Arsent, and Tibo. Before the train departed from the station we took some photos with XI IPA 4. When the train departed, we enjoyed Fried Rice in the train after we finished our foods, some of us slept,  and the others were talking each other or had some jokes. Because i couldn't go sleep, i went to the mini bar in the second car in the train and ordered coffee with Fatur, Eka, Alza and Dante. After i felt sleepy i went back to the my chair and took a rest. The moment that would not be forgotten was when i went to the toilet in the train for pee. (If you understood, because the train always have shocks)

After we took 12 hours in the train, finally we arrived in Surabaya and took a Bus to continue our trip. In the bus Some of us still wake up and we chose ST 12 Songs and Sang the songs while we had the trip. At 12.00 we had lunch in Probolinggo and continued our Trip to Katapang Port in Banyuwangi. At 22.00, we arrived in the Gilimanuk Port and continued again our trip to the Hotel Nirmala in Denpasar Bali and the trip was 4 hours from the Gilimanuk and when we came to the hotel, we went to our rooms directly to take a nap.

On the next day, we went to the Tanjung Benoa. In the Bus we had a guide from bali. I forgot the name but we called him 'Bli'. He told us about Bali's Tradition such as, People in Bali specially people who were Hindu always put 'Sesajen' in the Pura. Every houses in Bali always have a Pura in each house. We also passed the new Highway road in Bali that cross the sea. You could see a beautiful view from the bus. When I arrived in the Tanjung Benoa, i chose to snorkling with Farisan, Gema, Febbry, Farhan and the others. I expected  i would see beautiful corals in the sea, but i was wrog. The Corals were damaged but i still can see a lot of fishes in the sea. Snorkling wasn't easy because i couldn't swim yet, plus the sea wave made me couldn't enjoy snorkling. Although i didn't enjoy snorkeling,  i felt happy because that was my first experience. After we finished in Tanjung Benua we went to the Pudjamandala for Dzuhur Pray. Pudjamandala actually was places of worship for all of the religion in Indonensia. In Pudjamandala there were mosque, church, temple, and the others. Tourists always visit this places because Pudjamandala showed the harmony of the religious life in Indonesia. After that went to the GWK (Garuda Wisnu Kencana). GWK was the name of the statue designed and built by Nyoman Nuarta, one of Indonesia's modern sculptor. When Nyoman Nuarta made that statue, he planned GWK would have 150 meters tall and 64 meters across. Unfortunately until now, the statue never made like what Nyoman Nuarta planned. The part of the statue that already finished were the head of Garuda, and the body of Wisnu. In GWK we had a games for each classes in SMAN 3, to searched the Blue Clues and the Yellow Clues in the GWK's area. The game was wins by XI 4 for Blue clues and XI 8 for the yellow clues. After that, we took some photos and enjoyed Kecak Dance in the auditorium. I had never seen Kecak Dance in my life so when the presenter told that the dance would be showed i took a seat directly and watched the dance.

The story of Kecak dance was from the Ramayana. I couldn't tell you the story because i forgot the story. After that we had a dinner in Jimbaran. The dinner was excellent because while you enjoyed your foods, you could see the Jimbaran's view in the night and the white sand under your foot. Not only that, we also were enjoyed with some of singer from 32015 there were Lovanda, Kania, and the others. Those things made our dinner was really different and special.

On the next day, we visitied Desa Adat Panglipuran. The leader of the village said that this village was established since 8th Century when the King of kingdom in Bangli ordered the people from Kintamani to life in Panglipuran. In this village there were 236 families who occupied 76 houses in 112 hectares. In the 76 houses there were still many old houses, even one home is estimated to have been 270 years old. Because of i didn't have breakfast in the hotel i decided to buy some food. Then we went to Sukowati. Sukowati was the one of traditional market in Bali which sold a lot of art craft, clothes, and foods. I didn't buy anythings in that place. I just see what was on the market and went again to the bus. After that, we went back to the hotel and prepared for the last night even in Bali and we called 'Makrab'. This even was special because this even was brought by 32015, for 32015, and from 32015.

On the last day, we went to Pandawa Beach. But when we were on the way to the Pandawa Beach, Our bus hit a motor rider and made the rider injured. Then because the bus and the rider must go to the police office we moved to the XI 2's Bus and continued to go to Pandawa Beach. In Pandawa Beach, we had some games there were Football and tug of war. Our class (XI 4) didn't participate on Football we only participated on tug of war and won the trophy after we beat XI 8 in the final. When we finished our games on Pandawa beach, we went to Krisna to buy some souvenir and after that we went to the Ngurah Rai Airport and went back to Bandung.
