Spain vs Japan: film swap with zezefan (http://www.lomography.es/homes/zezefan). I have always loved all things Japanese. I think Japanese culture is one of the most sophisticated and charming in the whole world, and I've always admired the way of facing life of its people. Zen and its influence on arts and thought has been a major inspiration for years. The terrible news about the quake, the tsunami and that awful accident in Fukushima's plant were very sad and I wanted to do something to show Japan how much we care and think of them and, at the same time, to give them some kind of support and comfort. When zezefan asked me to share a roll of film, I didn't hesitate. These are the results of the roll I shot. Please, feel free to leave some words to show your support for Japan. Let's wish them lots of SHIAWASE for the future!!!
Tidung Island is part of Thousand islands located in the western South. The island which is part of Jakarta consists of two islands, namely Tidung, Tidung Big and small. To achieve this, we can go from the port of Muara Angke, which is located in Jakarta, using the public boat with rates USD3,3.

About 3 hours we can arrive in Pulau Tidung but dont worry about boredom because along the way the island would be an interesting scene, including a group of birds that catch fish in the sea. Arriving at the port of Great Tidung, we can walked toward the inn. The fee from $20-$30/night, its very cheap. ^o^

Biking on this island is fairly easy and very interesting, because, although the terrain of flat roads, even houses in the area of paying block road, the view left and right most row of palm trees and green pine beautiful.
Along the road infrastructure is also seen quite a neat and orderly. Great Tidung satisfied around, the bridge that connects the island with Tidung small.
The bridge made of wood form the many twists and curves along hundreds of meters. The bridge is the best place to swing away with the charm of Tidung island as a whole.

Legend
This region has a legend that appears Patenggang Situ name. History or myth about this situ surface caused by a prince and a princess who fell in love. But they do not travel as smooth as love and as beautiful as that envisioned by them because separated by circumstances. So that their tears formed a lake there or.

In the end they can be together again on a rock there is a rock called love. It is said that anyone who had been visiting with her partner, then their love will be eternal.
As I spent more time with her, my love for her grew, matched only by her apathy for me. But I didn't care, she was special and she made me feel special. She was popular in a way I could never have imagined. Just walking on grass felt like being on the red carpet and people came to my home day and night. I flattered myself it was me that drew them but I knew deep down they only sought a glimpse of her. She imbued even the most mundane with a surreal beauty and I envied her...envied her and loved her.
I felt like I knew her now, at least as well as one could. She was sensitive yet easy to be with, not the fickle, high maintenance girl I'd imagined. She always forgave my clumsiness. I understood that she had others, she gave her love so freely, so innocently, that I couldn't be jealous. I was happy to visit them and try and catch a glimpse of her. After all I knew, somewhere in the back of my mind, that she was as transient as life itself, and when she was gone, she would be gone forever.
