A Letter From The Future

I live in 2050. I'm 50 years old now, but looks like 85 years. I experienced many health problems, especially kidney problems because I drink very little water.
I think I will not live longer. Now, I am the oldest person among my neighborhood in my community, I remember, when aged 5 years are all very different, there are still many trees in the forest and greenery around, every home has a beautiful yard and garden, and I could enjoy as much water and bathing.

Now, we must clean ourselves by using disposable towels dampened with mineral oil.
Previously, beautiful hair is the pride of all women, now we have to shave his head to clean without using water. First, my father washed his car by spraying water directly from the faucet plumbing. Now, kids do not believe that once the water can be used for anything. I still remember the many warnings that say: DO NOT WASTE-WATER. But nobody paid attention. People assumed that water will never run out because an unlimited supply.

Now, rivers, lakes, dams and groundwater have all been polluted or completely dried. Scenery around there was only deserts are barren. Gastrointestinal infections, skin and urinary tract disease is now the number one cause of death. Industry is paralyzed, the jobless rate reached a very dramatic. Workers are paid only with a glass of drinking water per day. Many people loot the water in quiet areas. 80% of the food is synthetic. Previously, the recommendation to maintain health is to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. Now, I can only drink half a glass of water a day. Since water was scarce, we do not wash clothes, used clothing immediately removed, which increases the amount of garbage.

Humans look pathetic in our era, the body is very weak, cracked skin from dehydration, there is a lot covered by sores caused by ultraviolet rays due to atmospheric ozone layer is depleted. Because dry skin, 20-year-old woman looks like a 40-year-old. The scientists have conducted various investigations and studies, but did not find a way out. Humans can not produce water. The small number of trees and green plants make oxygen availability is reduced, which in turn lowers the intellectual quotient of future generations.

Morphology of human experience changes that produce / give birth to children with various problems deficiencies, mutations and malformations. The government even makes tax the air we breathe: 137 m3 per person per day. [31,102 gallons] for anyone who can not pay, will be excluded from the ZONE VENTILATION that are equipped with gigantic mechanical lungs that supplies solar-powered oxygen. The air vents are available in the region is not of very good, but at least provide oxygen for breathing. The life expectancy of the average human is 35 years old.

Some countries still have a vegetated island has its own water source. This area is guarded by armed troops. Water had been incredibly rare and valuable, than gold or jewels. At my place there are no more trees because it hardly ever rains. Even if it rains, it is acid rain. No longer recognized the existence of the season. Climatic changes occurred in the 20th century due to greenhouse effects and pollution.

We were warned that it is very important to preserve nature, but no one cares. When my daughter asked how it was when I was young, I describe the beauty of the forests are still green. I tell her how beautiful the rain, flowers, bathe, fishing in the river, and could drink as much water as we want. I tell you how healthy humans at that time. He asked: 'Dad! Why is there no water anymore? ' I feel like there is a clog my throat ... I can not help feeling guilty, because I come from a generation that destroys nature by not taking seriously the warnings of nature (and many others as well). I come from a generation who could change the situation, but no one who did it. Now, my offspring who must accept the consequences. Frankly, with this situation in life

Earth will soon be extinct, due to the destruction of our environment reached its end point. I wish I could go back in time and convince mankind to understand what will happen. (At the time it was still possible and the time for us to do something to save planet Earth)....

Aceh Tsunami Museum

At 28th December 2011, the Aceh's people was remembering the biggest disaster tragedy of the century, it was earthquake and tsunami disaster that happend in 2004.

To remembering this tragedy, the goverment build a museum to show the tragedy, it named 'Museum Tsunami Aceh'.

The Aceh Tsunami Museum , located in Banda Aceh, Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam Province, Indonesia, is a museum designed as a symbolic reminder of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami disaster, as well as an educational center and an emergency disaster shelter in case the area is ever hit by a tsunami again.


This buliding was designed by Indonesian architect Ridwan Kamil. The museum is a 2,500 m2 four-story structure; its long curving walls covered in geometric reliefs.
Inside, visitors enter through a dark, narrow corridor between two high walls of water — meant to recreate the noise and panic of the tsunami itself. The museum walls are adorned with images of people performing the Saman dance, a symbolic gesture dedicated to the strength, discipline and religious beliefs of the Acehnese
people.

From above, the roof resembles a tidal wave. The ground floor is modelled on the kind of traditional raised Acehnese houses that were best equipped to survive the tsunami.

The building acknowledgess both the victims, whose names are to be inscribed on the wall of one of the museum’s internal chambers, and the surviving members of the local community.

In addition to its role as a memorial for those who died, the museum also offers a place of refuge from future such events, including an "escape hill" for visitors to run to in the event of another tsunami.

Collection Exhibitions at the museum include an electronic simulation of the 2004 Indian
Ocean earthquake and tsunami, in addition to photographs of victims and exhibits featuring stories from survivors of the disaster.

This museum is very good place to remembering the people about how the nature can be angry, even worst than bad nightmare.

It remembering us to always keep the harmony relationship between nature and the trully destroyer, also known as Human.

Phinisi Ship, the masterpiece

Phinisi boat is a traditional sailing boat from Indonesia, Its organized and made by Bugis people,a tribe in Makassar (Macassar) South Sulawesi, a province in Sulawesi Island (a.k.a. Celebes). These ships has two main masts and seven screens, three on the front end, two in middle, and two in back. At first, the ship was used as an inter-island trading vessel . Phinisi is a high-mast sailing ship that use two mast schooner with seven strands of the screen, meaning that the ancestors of Indonesian are able to explore seven major oceans of the world.

Phinisi has been used in Indonesia since a few centuries ago. According to history, this ship was first made by the crown prince of Luwu Kingdom, named Sariwegading. Sariwegading try to make a large and strong sailing ship that will be used to sail to the land of china through the south china sea to married the Chinese princess named We Cudai. but, on the way back to the Luwu Kingdom, This ship encountered a storm and hit by a big waves that battered the ship split into three parts. The people of Luwu Kingdom repairs together all three parts of the ship and then they named the ship as Phinisi Ship.

Phinisi Ship is not a boat carelessly, because in the manufacture almost all parts are made by wood, this ship also has a very good endurance and can survive for years to navigate the ocean, Phinisi was very unique and has a very high artistic value .

Making boats Phinisi also not kidding. it takes a special ritual before making this boat. A ritual that is believed by the Bugis people will bring good luck for the boat to be made. And usually will require a very long time.

Because its high artistic value, the ship was made in a very long time, would not be surprised if the price of a single ship could reach billions rupiah (Indonesian currency). A shipping company in the Caribbean who bought a ship Phinisi worth 3 billion. fantastic !

Perfecto..!!
