Lambuk - A Small River In My Village


Around 100 meters from my house in my village, there is a river called Lambuk river. This river is very special for me, because I spend my time much with it. Although now I live around 40 kilometers away, I always try to come and bath there whenever I have time.

The river is not so big, just about 20 meters wide, but the water is running all year long now. In rainy season it is flooding, and nearly dry during the dry season. One sad thing about it is that it is a bit dirty now, because of plastic and clothes waste. I have an idea, when I have more free time later, I want to build a small sanctuary on it's side, so I can clean the waste every day.

When I was a child, it was very easy to get fish, shrimp, and crabs there. I used to catch them with my grandmother. But now, it is a bit difficult to get them. I guess, it is because of the extensive usage of the chemical pesticide. I hope people will start to go organic, so the fish, shrimp, and crab can live again in the Lambuk river..      .

A Cool Morning in Dalung

It's very cool this morning here in my Dalung house. I feel it's like during the month of July, where Bali is usually in the coolest...
