November Rain

Rain, rain, rain, rain. Here, in my city is raining. I hope there's no flood.

0 (Zero) Kilometre Spot of Bandung

There's built the monument. It's shown by the red arrow. Sorry if the photo isn't clear enough because I took it while I was riding a bus, it was taken from the bus.

I live in Bandung. When I was on the way to Mesjid Agung (Agung Mosque) at the downtown, I tried to take this.

If you're still confused of what I'm talking, okay, first, I'll tell the history of this 0 km. Indonesia was colonized by Netherlands. When the Dutch dominated Indonesia, The Dutch governor-general, Herman Willem Daendels ordered the Indonesian to build Jalan Raya Pos (Pos Boulevard, Dutch: groote postweg) from Anyer, West Java (now Banten) to Panarukan, East Java. It's 1000 kilometres long! And it's through Bandung. When Daendels visited Bandung, he and Bandung regent at that time, Wiranatakusumah II inaugurate Jembatan Cikapundung (Cikapundung Bridge), and then Daendels said in Dutch, “Zorg, dat als ik terug kom hier een staad is gebouwd.” ("Try to put forth, when I come back, here's already built a city.")

Reputedly, he said that when he transfixed a stick to a spot. That spot is called the 0 km of Bandung.

But after Bandung is already a city, reputedly (again), Daendels never came back to Bandung because his ruling in Netherlands-Indies (Indonesia) was finished, the government was changed and replaced by the new one.

Finally, I Have the Guts to Say...

Worm

In an elementary school...

Teacher: "Kids, what we are going to do is doing an experiment. We have a glass of water and a glass of vodka. I bring two worms, and we put the worms into the glasses, one in vodka and one in water."

The teacher put each worm into a glass. A few minutes later, the worm in the glass of vodka was dead, but the worm in the glass of water was alive.

Teacher: "So, kids, what's our conclusion from this experiment?"

Students: "WE HAVE TO DRINK VODKA SO THE WORMS IN OUR BODIES WILL DIE! WE WON'T BE WORMY!"

Teacher: (?)
