Pantai - Pantai Indah di Kalimantan Barat

 Provinsi Kalimantan Barat Indonesia memiliki jalur pantai yang sangat panjang. Pantai-pantai indah ini gampang di akses karena langsung dilalui oleh jalan antar kota. Sepanjang perjalanan dari ibukota Pontianak ke Singkawang misalnya, kita sudah akan melewati berbagai pantai yang nan indah seperti pantai Pasir Panjang, pantai Pak Lo Tay, pantai Samudera dan lain-lain nya. 


Berikut liputan foto dan beberapa video youtube yang kami rekomendasikan untuk berwisata ke pantai di Kalimantan Barat.


1. Pantai Samudera

Pantai ini adalah primadona wisata pantai di pesisir utara Kalimantan Barat. Gampang dijangkau, memiliki area camping, hotel berbintang dan view sunset yang luar biasa.

2. Palm Beach / Pantai Pak Lo Tay

Palm Beach adalah pantai yang masih di sekitar area pantai Samudera, gampang dijangkau dan cocok untuk aktifitas camping.



Palm Beach yang juga disebut pantai Pak Lo Tay, memiliki fasilitas penginapan hotel berbintang 1 di lokasi. Area pantai ini lebih tenang sehingga cocok untuk aktifitas camping.

Palm Beach memiliki setumpuk batu-batuan yang bisa dipakai sebagai PoV foto landscape. Asyik banget buat hunting sunset di pantai ini.


3. Pantai Pasir Panjang - Palapa Beach

Ini adalah pantai legendaris yang sudah ada dari sejak tahun '70an. Setiap kali menyebut pantai di Kalbar, selalu menyebut nama Pasir Panjang. Di era 2010s, pantai Pasir Panjang sudah tersegmen-segmen menjadi beberapa pantai. Dan ini adalah segmen pantai Pasir Panjang yang juga disebut Palapa Beach karena ada fasilitas hotel Palapa di pantai ini.

4. Pantai Batu Payung / Fajie Land

Pantai Batu Payung juga merupakan pantai yang legendaris karena sudah eksis dari jaman bahola 80an. Pantai ini asyik banget karena tenang. Ada jetty yang menjadi ciri khas pantai ini. Pantai ini juga disebut sebagai Fajie Land, karena terdapat kantin kuliner seafood yang konon dikelolal oleh seorang bibi yang dipanggil Fa-jie (bibi Fa). Asyik buat berfoto sunset. Pantai ini bersebelahan dengan hotel resort Mimi Land.

Top 10 Infused Water with Tropical Fruits from Indonesia

Infused water had become life style among us recently. Here are my take on our available fruits in our area, Indonesia, that produced a very fresh and nice as infused water. Mostly are tropical fruits.

Infused water, atau mungkin bisa diterjemahkan sebagai "air infusi" adalah cara baru mengkonsumsi buah-buahan. Buah segar secara utuh dimasukkan ke dalam air dan setelah ditunggu kira-kira 1 jam baru diminum airnya. Dengan cara ini, diyakini hanya extract asli dari buah tersebut yang larut ke air. Sedangkan "daging" dari buah tidak perlu kita makan.  Berikut beberapa buah tropis dari Indonesia yang asyik untuk dibuat infused water.

1. Infused water with star fruit / carambola / belimbing
Star Fruit or Averrhoa carambola is one of the most common fruit in Indonesia. When the fruit already in bright yellow color they are sweet to eat. Cut it so that the "star" shape formed, the belimbing (that's how we called it in Bahasa Indonesia) will produced enormous tasty infused water. In this photo I mixed it with his cousin, the Belimbing Wuluh or Averrhoa bilimbi, which is extremely sour to add more extreme texture to the water. Try it!!

2. Infused water with Rambutan 
Another very common fruit, Rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum). They are very sweet and the infused water with rambutan produced sweet taste.

Gemstones and Natural Stones Booming in West Kalimantan 2015

Gemstones and Natural Stones Booming in West Kalimantan 2015
The Photographic Survey of Pontianak Gemstones Exhibition

The story of West Kalimantan's rich gemstone resources has reach worldwide fame many many years ago. The gold mines can be traced back as far as hundreds years ago, when the local Sultanate even "importing" Chinese miners to help digging the land.  West Borneo, as they are known in the past and the West is indeed the sources of many natural gemstones. As for West Borneo diamonds, they have been documented well in many literatures. The Landaks Diamonds rumored to be West Borneo best kept secret, located in Ngabang and get their geological resources from Kapuas River. It is no surprises then if this province of Indonesia also has many other gemstones.

By the years of 2014 in Indonesia, the whole country experienced in what we call "demam batu" or "demam akik". Simply mean (gem)stones fever. The nation wide virus come to West Kalimantan (Kalimantan  Barat) in time. The locals gemstones sellers, miners and artisans immediate welcome the enthusiast with diligent works and promotions. In West Kalimantan's capital ,Pontianak, every months since early 2015, there will be gemstones exhibition in town.

The locals enjoyed their "signature" gemstone, mainly the Kecubung stones, or Amethyst / Quartz, that widely available in the intern West Kalimantan area. The "mainstream" Kecubung stones are majority purple in colors, known as Kecubung Ungu.  The other variants are Kecubung Sempalai, orange and brown in texture, Kecubung Laut or perhaps known as Aquamarine in transparant sea green color.  There are also couple dozens of local unique stones that too exotic to even have an international names.

I will now present to my dear blog readers, a photographic survey about one of the exhibition done recently. These photos taken from the exhibition held in Rumah Randakng (Dayaknese traditional house) in May 2015. Enjoy. (written by "y" 2015 - ditulis oleh "y")
