destinationsin Central Java: Semarang Its strategic location offers visitors a multitude of options for activities and sightseeing ranging from natural and historical attractions to cultural journey and culinary delights Now the existence of PituRooms in the heart of Salatiga adds to the list of attraction in the 55 sqm town It’s a unique seven-room hotel designed and owned by Ary Indra an architect with almost 30 years of experience under his belt PituRooms has quickly become the new “it” place in Salatiga since the hotel opened its doors to guests in December 2022 Standing on a narrow plot of land measuring only 2.8 m x 12 m this 17 m tall terracotta building effortlessly blends in with its surroundings yet its slender profile catches the attention guests are greeted by an espresso machine nestled next to a leafy corner and a long wooden bench adorned with small coffee tables locals are also drawn to the café due to its compact size which fosters a communal atmosphere where people can easily engage in conversation is a cylindric lift with only 75 cm in diameter This lift can only transport one person at a time and has a maximum weight capacity of 100 kg An alternative option to reach the upper floors is by utilizing the open riser stairs which are interspersed with grated ramps all the way to the top floor The hollow spaces within the stairs and ramps contribute to a more spacious ambience in the corridors The seven guest rooms – where the hotel got its name pitu meaning seven – and a staff room are on the north and south sides of the building The rooms are numbered in Javanese language; ji Every aspect of the hotel has been designed with space efficiency in mind Customisation was crucial in order to accommodate furniture that meets standard needs whilst maintaining flexibility of movement in such limited space “Designing the room layout took the longest time compared to the other aspects We needed to make the room mock-up twice before finally deciding on the scheme that is installed now,” Ary said Although the rooms at PituRooms may not provide ample space for morning yoga the comfortable bed and bedding almost guarantee a good night’s sleep The bed may appear slightly bulky for the room but it has been cleverly designed with practicality in mind This is because a housekeeping cart would face difficulties manoeuvring freely in the narrow corridor Some rooms don’t have an obvious stool to sit on because it is tucked under the tiny pantry “We couldn’t use a bigger bed than queen-size the pillows are the most heavenly in Salatiga,” Ary said proudly Each room is equipped with an en-suite bathroom featuring American Standard fittings The bathroom comprises a rain shower with hot water and a toilet integrated into a system installed within the walls The top floor serves as the hotel’s restaurant it is reserved for hotel guests to enjoy their breakfast The balcony area quickly becomes a favourite spot among restaurant patrons due to its unobstructed view of Mount Merbabu Unlike traditional restaurants with formal table settings the atmosphere here resembles that of a casual café attracting a predominantly young clientele there are numerous Instagramable spots throughout the restaurant rtworks embellish the hotel from the ground floor to the top and art installations created by Indonesian artists Amongst the more interesting ones are “Salatiga Pride” art installation by Alodia Yap that’s hung at the lobby which depicts the social reality of Salatiga streets; “Mona Gets Cake” looping video by Eldwin Pradipta reminds us of the cake-throwing incident to Mona Lisa painting in Louvre Museum; and “Tired” a graffiti by Oggz Goy that responds to the interior feature where its head and body are separated vertically by a ramp but still visible from both floors “I plan to keep renewing the room interior so that all seven of them can display a variety of artworks I want the artworks to be more than a decoration but to be an artistic composition that involves whoever sleeps in the room,” Ary said During Indonesia Design’s visit to the hotel a few other guests specifically came to Salatiga to experience PituRooms the hotel has already become one of the town’s iconic tourist destinations where visitors can move about to get to know and enjoy what Salatiga and the surrounding areas have to offer Sahabat Selojene introduces PituRooms, a micro-hotel on a narrow 2.8 by 12-meter plot in Salatiga, Central Java, Indonesia.

sanctuaries of style wellness and sustainability have taken center stage and seeped into our daily lives playing a major part in our purchasing decisions the pursuit of those three factors has resulted in the birth of the garden-to-table movement An all-organic restaurant and less-waste store is embracing and pioneering this approach in the area taking pride in the traceability of the food they serve Garden-to-table advocates for locally sourced food and emphasizes a relatively direct transfer and minimum intervention from the food source until it reaches one's plate This concept has been floating around in the modern food landscape for quite some time yet Tanasurga was not intentionally established to catch up with the trend or fulfill growing demand it was inspired by one of the owners' first-hand experience particularly in consuming preservative-free He started to grow his own food to take full control of what is placed on his plate a core value that laid the foundations of Tanasurga Setyo opened the door of Tanasurga in 2020 offering healthy-made-tasty dishes and the experience of connecting with food by allowing customers to handpick their vegetables straight on the premises — a timely move when people are starting to be more health-conscious due to the pandemic sweeping the globe "Through this garden-to-table experience we enable customers to encounter food at its truest form in the source so that they can be aware of the look of their ingredients customers can enjoy their food while they are at its peak of freshness without losing the nutrients inside skipping the refrigerating part that will alter the taste of the food," Setyo and Arina told The Jakarta Post The broad diversity of crops planted in Tanasurga's 1000-square-meter property ranges from vegetables like kale On their menu are multicourse meals comprising Indonesian and Middle Eastern cuisine derived from healthier alternatives of ingredients Try Tanasurga's take on traditional

effortless aid to alleviate flu and coughing all a reminder that nature always has ample benefits in store for us beyond a flavor boost Tanasurga sources other ingredients unavailable at its garden from local farmers nearby especially those who uphold the same value of going pesticide-free in treating their crops This well-cultivated relationship with the community of farmers is also reflected in Tanasurga’s store where it highlights stories of the people behind the harvest they sell; organic rice and palm sugar Tanasurga is encouraging organic farming practices while at the same time

bringing consumers closer to their food the garden-to-table movement shows no signs of slowing down not all around the globe and not in Indonesia — and the same goes for Tanasurga Its full-blast effort in serving garden-fresh food while also repurposing waste is an open invitation to be more mindful of the food we eat so that the food can take care of our health "We would like to extend this movement of eating healthy food on a daily basis healthy food should be accessible to people not only as a last resort when they are facing health problems the architect Ary Indra made the decision to move back to his hometown of Salatiga Despite maintaining his position as one of the principals at Aboday Architects in Jakarta his creative aspirations led him to venture into other projects under his own company with PituRooms hotel being the most iconic project As Indonesia Design had the opportunity to stay at this hotel Ary generously shared fascinating insights into the backstory of Indonesia’s skinniest hotel Why did you decide to build a hotel in Salatiga There were already a few hotels in the area but I wanted to create one that could attract visitors seeking new experiences PituRooms is not just a place for sleeping but also offers high-quality facilities and services Even though we only have seven guest rooms I want everyone to repeat their stay in PituRooms not only for the architecture PituRooms was developed with the idea of accommodating a narrow space requiring us to optimise the building’s height within the limits set by the municipality as we had to fit everything on a 2.8 x 9.5 sqm plot of land I wanted to amplify how thin the land is by accentuating some vertical features on the façade and making the peak even narrower What were the most significant challenges of building this hotel Given the precious nature of every centimetre of the land we had to eliminate everything that wasn’t necessary We made the corridors as transparent as possible providing visitors with expansive views in every direction to create a sense of spaciousness How long did it take to design and build the hotel The construction process took exactly one year and an additional six months were dedicated to furnishing Can you tell us about your plan in developing PituRooms in the future Our plan is to develop PituRooms at a manageable and consistent pace We aim for it to not only have a concept but also be financially sustainable Our goal is to ensure profitability not only for stakeholders but also for the surrounding community including neighbouring cities.” Najla Nur Fauziyah Laila Afifa Endro Pudyo Martanto, Head of the Semarang City Regional Disaster Management Agency, said that heavy rain is still falling on Semarang and its surroundings

of Salatiga didn’t stop Budi from pursuing an international career After getting his bachelor’s degree in architecture in Yogyakarta Then he spent a few years working with architects in the Netherlands In the Netherlands Budi learnt to design by kilometres because the Dutch architects are excellent in making masterplans “The Japanese are very detailed and everything is measured down to the millimetre Often I did not come home to my apartment until after a few days because I had to finish work at the office,” he said in reminiscence At the BPA office he provides a long table for everyone to have meals together “This is something I learned from the offices in the Netherlands gives us a chance to communicate better with our colleagues,” he added One thing that he cannot stress more in the company is the importance of research “A design that’s based on proper research will sustain forever When we are solving a problem with research we can get specific results but also many options And the data that we keep can come handy in the next projects It also makes us more alert with the current situation because of the investigations that we do,” he explained One of BPA’s ongoing projects is building a restaurant in Ubud a project they won in a competition by a client from the Netherlands The research that they did for this design not only includes building materials but also food ingredients and the way people eat the building will almost look like it’s camouflaged within paddies or tall grass The intention is to make the users feel close with nature Some of his well-known projects are Bamboo House a residence in South Jakarta and Clay House All of them have almost an unobstructed view of greenery help BPA to make creative and unpredictable design solutions

competitions and events in Brazil Home / SPORT DENVER — It took Luka Doncic only one quarter Saturday to match his highest scoring output from his first three games with the Los Angeles Lakers He kept rolling from there — and so did the Lakers — as Doncic finished with a game-high 32 points in a 123-100 win that gave L.A its first victory in Denver in nearly three years “It’s very tough to play here against that team,” said Doncic seven assists and four steals in his fourth game with L.A it’s an amazing win for us and gives me a lot of confidence moving forward.” The Lakers ended the Nuggets’ nine-game winning streak and also snapped an eight-game skid at Ball Arena beat the Nuggets in a regular-season contest on Denver’s home floor was April 10 Lakers coach JJ Redick challenged Doncic before the game to get so wrapped up in the competition that he has a “blackout episode” where he starts yelling indiscriminately in the heat of battle “He was super dialed in,” LeBron James said of Doncic “He was very locked in on what he wanted to do out here on the floor tonight Once he started hitting those step-back 3s and got to yelling and barking Doncic had averaged 14.7 points on 35.6% shooting (20.8% from 3) through his first three games with the Lakers while slowly integrating into the lineup after a left calf injury had kept him sidelined since Christmas with the Dallas Mavericks James had 25 points on 11-for-19 shooting with nine rebounds and fellow starters Austin Reaves (23 points seven assists) and Rui Hachimura (21 points four assists) also topped the 20-point plateau Redick said that Doncic will see more touches “I think Luka needs to be the guy that controls the offense,” Redick said because we’re going to stagger everybody they’re going to have their times to be on the ball But all three of those guys are very intelligent basketball players and we can create mismatches who was the beneficiary of a full-court outlet pass from Doncic to score on a streaking dunk a couple of possessions into the game “I’m a natural-born wide receiver and he’s a natural-born quarterback With Doncic’s first game against his former team looming Tuesday the Lakers’ new star already sounded convinced he will make an NBA Finals run with his new group “I think our goal is — not I think I know our goal is to win a championship,” Doncic said And I think we have the team for that.” Drumblek is a local art from Salatiga that has been around since the mid 80's. Only relying on percussion from recycled materials such as used cans it turns out that drumblek can present attractive music that attracts people's attention Now drumblek has grown phenomenally into a new culture and has become an art and cultural icon in the city of Salatiga PT Telkom Indonesia

outbound in Cikole Lembang Different experiences obtained because they have to reach some of the posts by passing through extreme terrain using an off-road car The climate of greater political and social freedom in Indonesia over the last decade has prompted the formation of a number of collectives which use art to encourage social and environmental change A recent trend has been innovative models of activism which culminate in local festivals quiet urban kampung in the hilly city of Salatiga It has a range of environmental challenges including changes to its beautiful mata air (natural water springs) Demands on water supplies from the textile industry and the increasingly urbanised population have led to many of the springs drying up the erosion caused by the felling of forests in the surrounding area combined with layers of non-biodegradable plastic rubbish dumped in the springs Erosion increases the level of run-off in the wet season the erosion reduces the base flow of rivers which affects both water quality and groundwater levels for domestic drinking water artists and activists collaborated with local residents to draw attention to the state of the local water supply They organised the second Festival Mata Air (Festival of Water) a celebration of sustainability through creative production The event was organised by TUK (Planting for Life) a group of local artworkers which emerged in the Salatiga area in 2005 Part of a new generation of artists frustrated by the lack of exhibition several of TUK’s most active members are also ‘craftspeople’ who do not have a formal education in art they have earned their livings carving or painting intricate designs into wood furniture or houses TUK members were inspired by environmental activists in other areas of Java such as those who organise the Forest Art Festival in Blora They were keen to adapt a festival model to address their own ecological problems The first Festival Mata Air was held in November 2006 at Senjoyo a natural spring about 15 kilometers from the centre of Salatiga During the 12 months preceding the festival TUK organised a number of programs to clean up the site and create a dialogue between the government All this work culminated in a three-day art and music festival we wanted to focus on a kampung in the city We knew that there would be a more intense relationship between the artists and the neighbourhood and that the events would be easier to get to.’ The festival certainly attracted huge audiences With over 1000 people swarming in to enjoy the outdoor concerts local vendors couldn’t keep up with the demand for satay and roast corn large-scale installations (all made from garbage) workshops on reuse of packaging and other post-consumer waste But the main focus of the festival was water as well as a host of other performers who came from across the Indonesian archipelago and from abroad As well as being motivated by the urgency of the issues of water in Indonesia they were drawn by the opportunity to work directly with a community which is taking the health of its environment into its own hands ‘It was important that this happened in the middle of the dry season,’ says Rudy ‘People think more about water when it is scarcer It reminds us how precious and important it is as a resource and part of community culture Kalitaman residents have a history of protecting their water sources When an outside company tried to take over in the 90s They know that this is an important issue and that is why we are all so keen to work together.’ traditionally used as a public bath for men TUK doesn’t claim to ‘solve’ anything but it works with a range of local and national organisations PUSDAKOTA-Surabaya (Centre for the Empowerment of Urban Communities) And the Kalitaman community is organising economically viable cooperatives for composting ‘This always has to be an ongoing movement,’ says Rudy which combines activism with having a

ecology-related Nothing makes her more happy than visiting a former Soviet building Her work has previously been published in Metro We’ve heard about small hotels before but ‘skinny’ is not a term we’d usually associate with the travel business. However, there’s a first time for everything. In Java, Indonesia, architecture studio Sahabat Selojene has just revealed their newest design PituRooms, or what they claim is “the skinniest hotel in the world”. The special design of the hotel has everything to do with the size of the plot it sits on. In Salatiga, a lot of land between an alleyway and a couple of houses had been proven difficult to sell since it only measured 2.8 meters in width. But Sahabat Selojene’s founder, Ary Indra, took on the challenge with the goal of showing how “limitation can be turned into potential”. Against all odds, he created a building many of us wouldn’t mind living in. Aside from the technical difficulties, the biggest challenge was the typical mindset surrounding the hospitality industry that is used to superlative words: biggest, tallest, most luxurious. Here we are skinniest.

means seven in Indonesian) the building is no less than five floors high given the fact that Indra used the works of several artists to give each room a twist But Indra’s goal wasn’t just architectural he chose to return to his hometown after debuting his career elsewhere “I want people to experience Salatiga in a new way” designed and operate PituRooms with my own team It has become my new platform to generate a new type of tourism which involves local communities.” PituRooms only registered 5% international bookings Indra hopes Salatiga will soon become a destination for international guests too its restaurant and the upcoming events organised on-site being small yet important steps towards that goal Essential cookies enable basic functions and are necessary for the

As we were coming up to our 10th week of SST and I decided that we wanted to explore a bit more of Indonesia while I’m cruising down the hill my house is located on I get a glimpse of Mount Merbabu and Mount Merapi in the far distance Mount Merbabu is viewed as sacred and blesses the people with fertile land and good harvest We are placed in the city of Salatiga which is north of both mountains and close enough to see them in all their glory Carlos suggested that we go climb a mountain I have always enjoyed the views and nature in Indonesia so I was happy to go Even though claiming to have climbed the 3,145 meters to the summit of Mt the hike was for advanced skill level so we decided not to risk it we found the slightly shorter Mount Andong We decided to leave our houses and take a GoCar to the base at 3am so we could see the sunrise When I told Pak Aldi (my host father) the plan he was shocked and then immediately offered to drive me to meet up with the others I was very grateful to him since he offered so quickly even though it was at 3 in the morning I woke up early and met up with Carlos and Camila We ordered a GoCar and headed towards the base of the mountain Our driver didn’t speak any English but we were just fine which proved how much Indonesian language we’ve learned We arrived and the driver wished us good luck We eventually found the beginning of the trail and began our climb probably thanks to my wild imagination and how dark it was The trail looked a bit sketchy and there were times we were unsure where the trail went but as it started to get a bit lighter We kept having to stop and rest because it was constant uphill stepping over rocks and trying not to fall from the slick ground the fog persisted even when it became lighter and we didn’t need the flashlight anymore It was very strange to only be able to see maybe 25 meters away from you We kept climbing and we made it to one of the peaks It was the second highest and there were tents and a few other hikers there as well determined to make it all the way to the top We made it to the top and there were a couple more people there We put our rain jackets on the ground and started waiting for the fog to clear up We waited about an hour until we decided to head back we met some Indonesian university students who were our age They were all really nice and they were fun to talk with We talked about school and where we lived and then we offered to hike down the mountain together the sun peeked through the clouds and the wind blew them away to reveal the amazing view that we had wanted to see We quickly got all the pictures we could while it lasted Thankfully the sky was also clear as we headed back down the mountain We said our goodbyes to our new friends and went separate ways There were quite a few slips along the way but we made it back in one piece: we found that we had no way to get back to Salatiga We couldn’t get a GoCar since we were in a small village and we were too far away We decided to get some snacks and start walking towards the main road the Indonesian students passed by on their motorcycles and Camila flagged them down and told them about our situation They graciously decided to give us all a ride closer to Salatiga on their motorcycles We were very grateful and without them we might have had to walk a lot longer than just 30 minutes They were just another example of how considerate and giving that the Indonesian people that I’ve met are We offered up our snacks and a tip for our thanks but they all declined We successfully made it back and got some celebratory soto for lunch tired from such a fulfilling day even though it wasn’t even 12pm yet A photo of a snow-covered mountain has been shared thousands of times in multiple posts on Facebook and Twitter which claim it shows Mount Dieng in Indonesia after the temperature dropped to minus nine degrees Celsius in late June 2019 The claim is false; the photo has been doctored from a photo of Mount Shasta in California The photo was shared in this Indonesian-language Facebook post on June 28 The caption states: “Mount DIENG in Salatiga I previously thought it was the Alps in Europe.” Below is a screenshot of the misleading Facebook post: some Facebook users described the photo as “beautiful” and claimed; “This is the toll gate with the best scenery” The misleading post was shared days after Indonesian news outlets reported the temperature at Dieng plateau in Central Java province plummeted to minus nine degrees Celsius on June 24 A press release published by the Meteorology Climatology and Geophysical Agency (BMKG) on June 25 2019 explains the temperature drop in the area where it has been shared more than 4,400 times which has been retweeted more than 4,800 times -- both with a similar claim A reverse image search on Google found a photo from Alamy which states the image shows Mount Shasta in California: The Facebook image was mirrored form the Alamy photo Below is a mirrored version of the Alamy photo: The image also shows the Salatiga toll gate in the heart of Indonesia’s Java Island. This is a Google Street View image of the location captured in July 2018 Below is a comparison between the Facebook photo and the Google Street View of the Salatiga toll gate:  The mountain behind the toll gate is Mount Merbabu not Mount Dieng as stated in the misleading posts Thisis the distance between the Salatiga toll gate and Mount Merbabu shown on Google Maps A Thai-language Facebook post claims that eating a sugar-free diet will cause cancer cells to "die naturally" This image merges a photo of Thai sky lanterns with a photo of India's Golden Temple NASA did not admit that changes in Earth’s solar orbit This video shows two unrelated incidents — a distressed woman on a Cayman Airways plane and a fire on an American..
