Monas is a tall tower which images Indonesian’sfighting spirits!
When Soekarno was president, this tower was build.

This picture is taken in TMII!!!
TMII is like miniature Indonesia!!!
For example, Java, Bali, Jogjakarta,
Sumatera island’s traditional house andtraditional costume.
We can look at this all!!

We learned that even though Indonesia has
many different cultures, religions, and skincolors… All Indonesian people live in peaceand harmony…
Everyone is making each pottery very
hard at the Pottery House. There arevarious shapes!! Butterfly turtle flower
and so on…
We also listened to importantpresentations by Mr. Katsumata(Indonesian Kumon 社長) & ProfessorChiba.

This is Varanus komodoensis（コモドドラゴン）. We saw in TMII.
Do you know “Imoto Ayako (Japanesecomedian)”?
She fought with this!! So scary!!

Comments:
1. We did so many activities. At TMII, we went around “Miniature Indonesia.” I
learned that Indonesian people live in peace and harmony even they have different
religions, cultures, skin colors, and languages. I think it is important!
We also watched the movie of Indonesian culture. However, the screen was so huge!
It was about three times the size of Japanese one!
At Pottery, Everyone made the plate and the ornament of favorite shape respectively.

2. I saw a Komodo dragon swallowed a marmot alive in TMII. Komodo dragon is alarge species of lizard found in Indonesia island of Komodo. Komodo dragon is a
UNESCO World Natural Heritage site. It is said that Komodo dragon is the survivorof the dinosaur. I was so surprised that
Komodo dragon can climb a tree and attack humans. I heard about Kumon’s
students from Mr. Katumata (社長) at Widayanto house. I thought Indonesianstudents study very hard because many students in Indonesia study 5 years offorward. After that I went to pottery class. Making pottery was so fun. I wanted tomake the pottery with SAJA and Rumah Singgah kids.

Comments:
1. On the day 3, we went to SAJA. I was very glad when the SAJA children listened toour report about Japan and introduction of our traditional play and clothes carefully.
In SAJA, the environment which the kids study in is not so good for them. There’s alot of garbage, and little space. However, their eyes are pure and they wanted tostudy more. I think that these children should be the leader of the next generation. I
don’t know what I can do for them now, but I want to continue to think about it fromnow on.
(Haruka Kikuchi－高１－EIC 2004)
2. SAJA kids listen carefully to our presentation of Japan. I am so glad. We planted
mango tree, when tree bear fruit, kids can eat. This is so happy things. They will
share this fruit. Their food will increase. I wish they still feel happy.

Village. We looked around thisvillage
andheard
theexplanation of the nature. We
first tried anklung in ouractivities. We saw natural lifein this village.

This picture is one of activities at Cinangnen Village. In there, I enjoyed rice planting.
It's very similar to rice planting in Japan. But, they don't have modern machine. Theyuse Buffalo. So, I think it's very very hard.

Through dancing andplaying Gamelan music,
we touched Indonesianculture.
We enjoyed it.

We also made traditional food. It tasted likeJapanese mochi.
In the drink, ginger and lemon grass were used so it
good for our health.

We crossed the river too. River was dirty but there were some children who washedtheir body in the river.

After leaving village, we went to Rumah Singgah. There are many garbage. Rumah
Singgah kids parents are garbage collector, but children have strong will to study andthey have their dream! When I heard this fact, I was so sad. But I was happy to see theirsmile. It showed that reason of their smile. They want to study and learn something.
We played with children and asked some question about the school.

Comments:
1. We saw natural life style in Chinangneng Village and we did many activities. In
Rumah Singgah, we communicated with lot of children. Their environment is notclean and the class was small but I felt that the class was filled with children’s
dream. I remember the words that teacher said,” To push their motivation isnecessary”. Today we both learned the Indonesian culture and the reality. I could
also fined next subject what we need to do.

with carrots and bananas.

Later we met Al-Bahra kids. They are from poor village and some of them have to pickup garbage as work. Later, we played and enjoyed together. Al-Bahra kids were so cute.
They gave many smiles to us. We felt sad when we had to say “Goodbye” to them.

We became friends soon because we played local game though we had different
languages. And we was surprised that they were very cheerful. Al-Bahra children are socute. They gave a lot of smile and relief.

Al-Bahra Kids ate KFC. KFC is a precious
food for them. Their families are poor, so someof Al-Bahra kids didn’t eat lunch and keep thelunch box that we gave for their family.

We watched Cowboy show together.
Al-Bahra kids never watch Cowboy.
They didn’t know what is Cowboy.
So they were very happy!!
We gave some books from English

We are happy to see their smile…

Comment:
1. Traditional textiles were attractive. I like “Batik”, a design of Indonesian clothes. I
drew some patterns on a cloth with special pen. The ink was wax melted by heat. It
was very difficult to draw pictures before wax became solid.
And at last, an airplane left for Japan with many memories, thoughts, and souvenirs(Yusuke Kanakubo－大２－EIC 2002)
