A Paradise at The North of Bangka

On Sunday, August, 2nd, accompanied by friends, we traveled to the north of Bangka Island. It’s for the twice, I go to this cape. They named the place as Tanjung Penyusuk. Located 10km away from the center of Belinyu Distric.

I still remember how it looks like, although I could not remember precisely. It had limpid sea water. Groups of granit stones looked grow from the bottom of sea. Variety in size made it unique view. Then the view of the two islands in front of the cape with a lighthouse at one of them. That the memories I had so far.

Tanjung penyusuk is still the same I imagine before. Although the sea tin mining spread at the sea shore at all Bangka island but, Penyusuk is still safe from this exploitation.

When we arrived, we’ll stand on white sand. The Penyusuk is a half of football field width, among left side, you will see a long sea shore , while stones scattered among the beach. On the other side, you will see many rocks hills, or stand one by one facing the wave a head.

Meanwhile, if you look in front of the cape, there will be four islands a head. At the right, the named it Pulau Lampu, the biggest island among them. There, you can see the lighthouse. Then, side of it, two small islands. And the left side is Pulau Putri.

All I can say about the Penyusuk and the islands in the are was an amazing view. You are going to a place offer beautiful landscape, and natural ambiance. Trust me, it will be different journey you did ever!!

I am telling this because there will be off the road experiences, drives to the down hills or up hills. If you are lucky, you will find unique spot with a very natural place ever. This can be really experience.

For long time ago, there is used to be, Tikus beach. But the mine activities have destroyed the landscapes for years ago. But now, the beach become unique, a large white sands covered the area, while the granite stones groups extend at the near. It is like growing from the bottom of the sea. Tikus can be first destination. Next the truly experiences comes ahead.

But some of the spots without names, and located at the right around the road, down the hills and plants, trough the steps road, off the road, the unique spot will be waiting then. There will be some roads without names, and if lucky, You will get amazing scene with a very natural place. Trust Me…

All what you need is a motorcycle and a drinking water, don’t forget a pocket camera. With friends accompany You, travelling in Sungailiat can be interesting activities.

II suggest for the first, travelling to Lubuk Kelik Hills where Klenteng for Budhism located. From City center, you drive to jalur dua street, then reach the acrros. Just turn right, you will pass chinesee village, Lubuk Kelik area. About 15 minutes then, right side of the street, there is a sign tell the location pricisily.

The road then became more uphill. But in agood condition, your motor can reach the top, coz the road are paving block made. Its suggested to come early in the morning, or late in the afternoon. The view it offer, sunset and sunrise was amazing from the top.

Then, you may come down, and plan to visit Dewi Kwan Im Bathing, A palce where people go and have a bath there. Its believed, a good sacred will be yours when you get shower.

The place is about 20 minutes from city center, the map begin Sudirman street, then see the fourth across, where the only red lamp exist in Sungailiat. Just pass the across and turn right to Pesona Beach direction. The street to Kwan Im is same to Pesona dan Uber Beach, and Tanjung Asmara, Also Rebo beach. The beach groups extend from the east of Sungailiat.







Enter Jelitik zone, near the corner, just turn to the right road, enter red sand made. You have to ride along the streets, pass some chinesse villages for about 10 km long. Its easy to find and the acces to the location is easies for visitors.

Then you will find the green houses, such a complex where mosque even statued side by side with church, Tepikong, and Vihara. A place represent high tolerantion in relegion.

Enter the complex, downhill, you will meet a house, release the shoes, you may take a bath in some ponds of water. There are at least four degress of pond for bathing. All of the water is clean and limpid. You may bath as long as you like. At the top degreess, that’s a bigger pond that contains lily and gold fish. And the lotus grows from the bottom to the top, let alone, the flower with red and white colour grows at the top of water. Wonderful scenery ever. (continued)

When we travel to development country, like Indonesia. There are some tips in how you can be accepted easily, building never lasting friendship, especially to natives at local community.
1. Keep Smile
I mean its can be ice breaking, native will see from how you act. Smiling show your hospitality.
2. Start the talk first
Asking about simple question can be done, such as their condition, work, family, their kids. In Indonesia, it means we care about them, while in west, they can be useless, friendship build by personal approach
3. Be humble
Don’t ever show too much although you know about that. Doing this will raise your image better. Local wisdom said the more you know more humble you should.
4. Pay attention to native culture
Some places don’t tolerate alcoholic drink. A kissing may be wrong idea in some community especially at village.
5. be humorists
As the west does, They like humor too. It’s worldwide, I think.

It’s about the place they cut hair, make it beautiful then you can show it. Then I found, Barber shop is not only that, but it’s about how you spend some minutes on that chair, to have such dialogues, when it ended, suddenly you get clever besides the nice hair model you have.

There some types of barber shop. As I know by location, first, “barber shop under tree”. This type is a very simple place. They just have to find a big tree, next build a such camp with a mirror and a chair. I found this model a lot in Bandung, west java. When I was on the way by bus, I always pass the barbershop. If you notice well, there are a lot of hair under the chair, means they had been long at the area.

Second, “barber shop in a gang”, complicated house building in a town, made this type as a common model. For students, it might be good option, coz it offered low rate. A college student, especially who came from another island, and had low income, this barber help much. Built in mini size, commonly in a room 2x3 meter, with one chair, a mirror in front of you, and one in a back, so you can fully watch how you look like.

Third, “barber shop in a mall or plaza”, a kind that located in a business centre, shopping centre in a town. Compared by the kinds above, they don’t hire amateur stylist, but a professional. It even has its own name, like “Rudi salon”, “Alex salon,”, meanwhile, for the second, they just put banner like, “Potong Rambut”. Usually, the third offer higher rate coz the facilities they offer.

Have hair cut then Getting Clever
Sometime, there could be a very interesting conversation ever, through the barber, you will get more views about daily news, from his view. When I try to be good listener, He will talk more and more, some news come out from him while he keep cutting. You’ll even get such kind information, rare and unique.

In such condition, this info will be valuable. Its possible, coz he always meet different people. Can you imagine, if there are a hundred of people come and have their hair cut. There might be then a hundred of information on a day. But, it doesn’t mean I trust him a lot. For an attempt to wide your views, it’s very useful.

Commonly, its politics talk, I prefer to be at the second type because as usual most of stylists are friendly. First they will start talking, if you react, he will keep talking. But, if you keep silent, they will do so. It’s the rule. They talk as a grass root side, complain for how official run the development programs. They said, right now people are getting hard to live well. Basic needs are hard to find. Legislator never thinks about grass root people. They corrupted people tax.

If you like gossip, the third can be good option. The new model of hair was mainly talks. An ideal place for woman who active and have carrier work. For mature woman, this is a place where they meet each other, and to do “Arisan”. For teenager, the salon is a place to upgrade the looks.

Barber shop, is a place for who need to relax. They often do specialty massage to your head, that’s why it felt very enjoyable. You must give tip for this service. For second type, they usually have this skill. With vary in moving hand, their finger push your head, stick your neck, grab your arms in determine power. Then, you will fly in to the sky. You will smile despite you have already broken hearth. I think this skill is unique and rare. For better impact, they might learn and learn in years.

Barber shop, is small place in our complex life. But, it offers little heaven for who look for the better hair.
