My Scholarship entry - Understanding a Culture through Food

WORLDWIDE | Sunday, 22 April 2012 | Views [123] | Scholarship Entry

Travelling is something what I dream in my life. For me, can go to other city or island moreover foreign is a wonderful thing in my life, because I spend my time just at home or at school. Honestly I never go to other island except Java Island, island where my home town is. Although Indonesia, my country, is island state. Bali is the second Island which I visited after Java Island. Three years ago, I wrote poetry about Bali Island. At that time, my friend went to Bali for study tour. She was lucky because she had gone to Bali twice. I wish someday I can go there.
(Indonesia version)Pulau Dewata
Deburan ombak di pantai Dewata begitu terasa
Walau mata tak ada pandang
Gelombang samudera yang menerpa terumbu karang terasa begitu mengiang
Walau nyataku mungkin tak sampai
Tapi anganku begitu liar berani menembus mimpi!!
(English version)Dewata Island
Waves on the Dewata beach was felt
Although there is no view of the eye
Ocean waves hitting the reef is so wail
Despite the fact may not be up to
But my imagination is so wild and brave through the dream!!

Two years later after I wrote that poetry, I went to Bali Island. I went to Bali for attending the 3rd International Conference on Advances in Nuclear Science and Engineering (ICANSE-2011). Do you know how about my feeling? I felt I was dreaming. I remembered my poetry that I wrote two years ago. My poetry that I wrote tell about Dewata Island (Bali Island). Conference held on November 14 to 17, 2011 in Aston Hotel Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia.
When you go to somewhere at first time or on vacation, you should go to special place and eat favorite food. During in Bali, I ate Ayam Betutu and Sate Lilit. They are very delicious. Ayam Betutu is a Balinese dish of steamed chicken. Sate Lilit is made from fish which is then mixed with grated coconut. Wound around bamboo, sugar cane or lemon grass sticks, it is then grilled on charcoal.
Thanks God for the great adventure.I hope get more
