My trip to Lombok,This Island is one of the island where the harmony among its people are well preserved. The islands,known as The island of 1000 mosque,because wherever we go will be very easy to find this place of worship of muslims.Nevertheless,the existence of other faiths are also well preserved. One of the proof is when Hindu's people celebrated their religious day "Nyepi", and they make a big sculpture that can be carried anywhere,so called"ogoh-ogoh", other people will come to watch the procession and animate the statue. This harmony can be tourist attraction where you can see the temple and mosque coexist without any discord,when many people walk to Hindu's temple, we can also see the Muslims to the mosque with their veil. In addition The harmony among its people, The beauty of the island is one of the factors that can attract tourist to come to Lombok. The natural beauty of this island can bring a peaceful mind for us to reflect on the beauty of life.
