WORLDWIDE | Sunday, 22 April 2012 | Views [174] | Scholarship Entry
I have dream to travel around the world, step my foot in every street in the earth. I wish meet every people around the different part of earth. I know that every people has their own thoughts for life, and I wish to feel that on my experience. I bored with something monotone. Wake up in the morning, breakfast, work, back home, sleep, and wake up on the next day with same routine just yesterday. So, I decided to fill my several days of my static day into dynamic life with visiting some new places.
This time I choose Bromo. A lot of tourists fall in love to this volcanic mountain. Some says it was Bromo’s history. Bromo that has been erupted a billion years ago that created black sand sea in it crater. Some says it beautifulness of Tengger Villages feels like they visiting fairyland. Some says that see the sunrise in Bromo is one of the priceless moment they ever had. I do go there to prove it.
They true. I enjoyed life with the fresh mountain air, feels life in fairyland, and realize that this world is really awesome by Bromo’s charm. And one more thing I have from Bromo is Pak Adi. He is my guide and also my great trip friend in Bromo. He has a simple warung that always offer warm rice and simple Indonesian dishes. He also helps people around Bromo with his hospitality for their needs. While guide me he also tell me some story about his life and Tengger’s life.
One story that touch my heart is when I wondered why he is still in Bromo since child until now. I asked, “Are you wish to life outside bromo and go see the world like I wish to do?”. He answered me wisely, “My life start in Bromo. I do life in Bromo. Bromo gives me more than enough for me. So why do I leave Bromo? Everybody from around the world come to visit Bromo. So why should I go out to see the world if most of the world come to see Bromo and I have opportunity to see the world in Bromo.”.
Ah, nice answer. He tells me that life is beautiful by his way. Thank you Bromo. Thank you Pak Adi.
