CULTURAL VISIT TO KAWAH PUTIH!


 "Kawah Putih (English: White Crater) is a striking crater lake and tourist spot in a volcanic crater about 50 km south of Bandung in West Java in Indonesia." 

We also need to wear masks because of the strong smell of sulfur coming from the lake.



Looks like winter, right? But it's just the sand and rocks which have been bleached into whitish colours due to the interaction with the acidic lake waters (with possible mineral precipitation as well).(Wikipedia)

 ps: It's chilly in here, too. Sometimes, the temperature runs up to 10 degrees celsius. So better prepare your jackets when you visit here.



 The bestest place yet in Bandung, Indonesia! ♥♥♥♥

Day 5 Thursday, August 9, 2018 Chapter 3 – HOW TO UNDERSTAND INDONESIAN CLASSES OBSERVATION DAY 3 A new day has come. We were again introduced to Mr. Agus’ grade 9 class. We’ve never been to one of his classes before and so there goes another getting to know each other stage. Lots of photo ops and selfies happened. And I’ve noticed that their uniforms are cute! ❖❖❖ At 10:00 am, I was at Mr. Dede’s PE Class. He is also a PE teacher. Unfortunately, he can’t speak English therefore; I need to adjust with the situation. I need to recall the bahasa Indonesian words I’ve researched. As I was taking down notes about how his classroom routine and management works, I tried to stop writing for a moment and I can’t believe that I was able to understand his topic though he was speaking his native language. It was all in his body language and gestures. He was trying to recap their previous lesson and demonstrated the dribbling, types of passing and blocking. Thank God for
