Tur Budaya 2019

TUR BUDAYA 2019

            On March 17-21, SMAN 3 Bandung held a Cultural Tour to Bali as its destination. The purpose of this is to learn about the culture in Bali, because Bali has a lot of culture that we don't know before. The purpose of this activity is to strengthen the sense of family between students especially 11th grade of SMA 3 Bandung.

So, on Sunday, March 17, 2019 we gathered at Husein Sastra Negara Airport in Bandung at 10:00. We have to gather before the departure time, that is, we go to Bali at 14.00 WIB and arrive at I Gusti Ngurahrai Bali Airport at 16.30 WITA and immediately head to the Bus to get to the first destination.

On the first day, we headed to Jimbaran Beach to enjoy dinner and also take pictures with friends before eating. Actually our first destination was not Jimbaran Beach but Tanah Lot. 

Due to the time that did not allow us to finally go straight to Jimbaran Beach to eat seafood. But when I was eating suddenly it rained and we all immediately headed to the inside of the restaurant in Jimbaran and after that finally the committee decided to ask these TurBud participants to go directly to the Quest Bali Hotel.     

On the second day, we went to Tanjung Benoa where we can do various watersports such as Donut Boat, Banana Boat, Flying Fish, Jetski, and various other fun games. After we did the watersport, we were satisfied to clean ourselves and then had lunch at the beach, at that time Tanjung Benoa was very hot therefore, after we ate we rushed to the bus to get ready to go to the next destination, Pudjamandala. In Pundjamandala is a place of worship of 5 existing religions. After going from Pudjamandala we went to Garuda Wistu Kencana (GWK). 

It is devoted to the Hindu god Vishnu, and his mount, Garuda, the mythical bird who became his companion. It was established as a landmark or mascot of Bali, the construction of the giant statue of Vishnu riding his mount Garuda, as high as 120 meters was completed in August 2018. There we spent time taking pictures of force, class, and also with other friends . Then we go to Bali Nusa Dua Theater Nusa Dua to watch Devdan Show and this our last destination in second day.

            On Day 3, we went to Tirta Empul, created by the God Bhatra Indra, which is believed by the Hindu religious community. When entering this place we will be asked to use sarong or kamen cloth. From Tirta Empul we lunch at Kintamani. After that we go to the Penglipuran Traditional Village.

 But not long after we entered the village, the weather did not support again. We must wait in one of villager's house. After several minutes we waited, we went back to the bus and we went to the hotel to get ready for the night.

On Day 4 we checked out of the hotel and went to Kuta beach. There we were given free time until 11:00 and after that we went to Krishna to buy souvenirs from Bali for each family. After Krisna we went to Bedugul as our last destination in Bali.

 Therefore, until the specified time limit, we take pictures and take a walk in Bedugul until we are satisfied. And when it was 17.00 we got ready to go to Surabaya and we had to cross the ocean to get to Surabaya.

In Surabaya, we passed the Suramadu Bridge, a very long bridge that connects Surabaya and Madura. After that, we ate in Surabaya precisely at Warung Wulan Surabaya. And after eating, we headed to Djuanda Station and left for Bandung with a long time trip. On the train we continue to enjoy our trips with friends by talking and playing. We arrived in Bandung at 05.00 in the morning.

TurBud give a lot of impressions because they can make many memories with friends and cannot be forgotten. I feel very happy and thankful for participating in this TurBud.
