When I was a kid, I always dreamt living in a fantasy world
Where you can see forests, mountains, deserts..
And now it turns out my dream was Bromo
This place looks like in a movie except that it was real
And some says that this mountain can gave me new energy
Today we’re gonna
(inaudible)
I’m exhausted as hell man
I thought I can make it
No..i know I can do it but…
Yesterday was very taxing in Bukit Batu
I was riding a rodeo and got fatality
And now I’m sore all over my body
And I’m super tired
So..what do we do when we’re beat?
If we’re beat we gotta climb a mountain, man!
If you want to go to bromo from malang, You need roughly 2 to 3 hours
Bromo located between 4 regencies
Which is Pasuran, Probolinggo, Lumajang, Malang
Yeaaay, she knows, she was in charge of it because I can’t possibly knows
Today I was glad to meet Mr. Abu Bakar again
He’s our tour guide from Surabaya back then
Because one of the good things about going on a tour with local folks was
You’ll know about local spots and you’ll make new friend
(singing)
Melaku melaku means…Jalan jalan man!
But if it’s like us, traveling like this, will be called musafir
Safara-yusafiru
Isn’t musafir addresses the person?
Woow,you’re good
Ever been to middle east?
Yeah I was doing umrah
Once there was local folks proposing to me
He sells kurma
Halal!
You me halal!
No no no!
After we passes several gates
We’ve arrived at Probolinggo
And there’s a delicious food here
Now we are at rawon nguling
I don’t have any strength left..
My muscle needs to eat
Fortunately in here, they serve lots of foods
Including rice with es campur
But the best menu they have in here were
Nasi rawon
Rawon was typical with east java
It consists rice with soup filled with diced meats
The ingredients were very Indonesian
Red onion, white onion, galangal, coriander, lemongrass, turmeric, chili, kluwak..
What was that kluwek?
Salt and vegetable oil
But there’s something that makes it more even Indonesian was
Once SBY ate here
So I wanted to try out what was the president ate here
How knows I might become one
SBY
Not that different from me
Well only by that much
I wanted to be president
Jalan jalan man!
Mr Abu says before I climb bromo, I have to go to some mystical place
Was the place could restore my energy?
Let’s find out!
I was thinking that I forgot to bring me a proper footwear to climb the terrain
And then when I was sleeping, I felt like God was telling me
You don’t have to worry, just buy the regular sandal
And the you tied it up with a rope
And you’ll get a mountain sandal
Neat huh..?!
Not that different from yours right?
I was like, this is a very good idea
So I doesn’t slippery
When I tied it..pretty smart don’t you think?
Praise the God he told us thru the dream
Abu Bakar dude says, if you want to replenish your energy
You have to go to (mumbling)
What was it called?
Madakaripura
What does it mean?
Mada = Gajah Mada
Kari = place to stay
Pura = place to pray
Madakaripura, Gajah Mada ate kari in a pura
It’s time we go to madakaripura
but given that you’ll get wet
you’ll be recommend to go shopping first
Gajah Mada went here without these
gajah mada were divine!
I’ll become divine too like him
But just in case, I’ll buy them
We’re going to cross the river
Chocolate milk river
where was gajah mada meditate?
Below the falls
Below the falls…
It turns out madakaripura is a waterfall
I thought it would be like a pura
And for us be getting there
We had to cross 6 rivers
With no bridge on it
That means…we’re getting wet man!
I’m fortunate, if I hadn’t tied the sandal, I’ll be done earlier
The water reaches up to my thigh, Whereas jebraw it reaches to it’s knees
C’mon!we gotta do this!
Gajah Mada were alone crossing those rivers
Jalan jalan man!
This place really gives mystical traits
You walk between the valley and you’ll hear sounds of animals around you
This is most definitely the kind of place he would you use to meditate
Fixed!gajah mada was one of my favorite character!
He has to be a true traveler like me!
It feels like I’ve known him very well
Gajah mada…I didn’t really know him
Excuse me mister…but who was Gajah Mada?
He was named patih
Ooh…so he was like a warrior
Warrior in majapahit era
Legend says that he disappeared from this mountain
He obtain the true zen
As of me, I gotta be like him!
I gotta meditate in this mountain to beat the aliens whose gonna abduct Naya
Gajah mada…Woow it’s raining!
Seems that we gotta go back
Because if it rains, this place will be running with floods
I kinda disappointed
We can’t go to where Gajah Gada meditate
But that what makes me a true traveler
Sometimes I gotta put someone else ahead of me
Who knows if we kept going and we found a corpse at the end of the river..
It’s better if we get back
That’s was what gajah mada trying to tell!
I know it!
It’s and enlightenment that I got
That a hero has to to put everyone ahead before him
Isn’t that right bro?!
I have become a hero, because I put everyone needs ahead
But for you guys still curious about the madakaripura
This is the footage from the Epic Team
Hence the name, they can shoot this scene
Jalan jalan man!
Warrior!
Now, we’re going to bromo mountain
Locals that settled in this area were farmers
Because of the volcanic soil
It’s very fertile land
But it’s not the time to farm
I gotta find inn
Wooww, there’s Javanese banana we can slept on
Java Banana, fixed!
I’ going to relax here for a while
Wooww,what is that?!
Braw!
What kind of hotel is this?
What’s all of these?
Statue of a man playing trumpet
So that what it means earlier about jazz gunung
Jazz gunung
We said that twice at the same time
We’re going to be wife and husband
Turns out every june and july there’s a jazz performance in here
Now that makes sense
It’s an amphitheater
That is the main stage and jazzing all the way
There’s jazz friend, jazz kidding
There’s the one called jazz the way I liked it…
Finally the fog cleared
This was like new place when it’s clear
But I gotta to rest immediately
It’s very good and clean
The toilet was good too
The most important things about an inn is the bathroom
It’s time to sleep!
Tomorrow I need the sunrise power in bromo to restore my energy
I gotta wake up from 3 am
In order to view the sunrise in bromo
You have to go when it’s still dusk
It’s very cold at that time though
If you forgot to bring a jacket don't worry
Here you can buy one and helps the local economy
First layer on, second layer on
So cold so cold
Third layer on
The key to survive in the mountain
Make it double
Make it triple if you have to
Quadruple..if you have to
We have to chase the sun in order for me to regain my strength
C’mon let’s chase the sun!
It’s like in the action film
In the dusk you enter the mountain’s crater with a fog on it
And racing with a motorcycle
And with other jeeps too
It’s so action man!
It’s a crater inside a crater
It’s very deep!
(mumbling speeches)
From here you can see malang!
And here we are at our first checkpoint
Mister abu was like a real musafir
Musafir was like a wise man on a journey
Wise man going on a journey, musafir
He’s really are a musafir
Even on the top of the mountain he didn’t forgot to pray
He inspired the rest to join the prayer
Turns out we’re going to other hills which people seldomly visits
Even the road are still dirt
It’s name was king kong hill
We’re on a king kong hill
Why does it call king kong hill?
It was like a shape of a sleeping king kong
Ooh so that’s why
Come here come here!
Awesome…most awesome…
And that is God
It was like awesome with no limits but there’s one
And that is God
Because God doesn’t have limits
And now we’re going to climb the mountain
To see the crater
What’s that?!
That’s a simpati tower
And now we’re going down to climb the bromo mountain
The local folks was called Tenger
Did I pronounced it right?
And hindu was their majority religion
Look there’s a pura in the middle of the desert
So awesome
This pura was litteraly inside a death volcano
Because (inaudible) was actually a crater
It was formed by the explosion long ago called Tenger Purba
It was 6 kilometers in height
Can you imagine?
Today the crater height’s was only 2 kilometers
4 kilomoters and you’re not there anymore
And the explosion formed this awesome crater
360 degree awesome!
Doesn’t it make you gave the urge to make a fantasy movie?
This made me realize that we didn’t have to go to New Zealand
Or Prague or maybe Turkey to find a fantasy-like place
In Indonesia and here in java island there’s a place like where lord of the rings film takes place
It’s like a movie studio
But made by the God himself
You want a desert, there you go
Mountains, there’s that too
Hills, they got it here also
And even volcano
Can you imagine, we’re only getting here
Maybe Indonesia itself was a fantasy world
Our country was like a fantasy
And now I’m prepared to climb bromo
Let’s climb a mountain!
Don’t run on a mountain
It says that the oxygen are much thiner
So don’t run on a mountain
You can relax here
Everything’s were here
From local stands to a public toilet
You don’t have to worry about climbing bromo mountain
Because we can rent a horse!
And I’m sure my exp points will get even higher!
I know why yesterday I was riding a rodeo
It was to prepare for this
God always have a plan
But if you want to feel more awesome you gotta ride the horse while having a locals to guide you
And if you want more, don’t use one!
Like Naya
Tips on riding a horse…
Don’t be a wise ***
You think you can ride one
But you death by falling into ravine
When I was falling I was thinking
What was I supposed to do
Plan a, jump now
Plan b, die
We made it to horse parking area
After we arrived at the foot of the mountain
There’s a horse parking area
After that you have to go on foot by yourself
That’s a stairs..
I hate stairs
don't look up, if we looked up our mental will be downed
So don’t looked up
No!!!!! I looked up
C’mon you can do it!
You – can – do –it !
Don’t stop when you’re tired, stop when you’re done!
C’mon one more time
Wait please…
Give me 5 minutes
Half hour, an hour2 hours!
Or tomorrow…
My feet are killing me
It’s the results from the battle damage yesterday
It’s okay Naya I’ll go without you
It’s okay Naya
You die, I die
This is so beautiful
This is so great
It’s so awesome!
Here we are
Bromo!
Mountain for bro
When you visit here with your bros you’re going to become awesome!
How do you find bromo?
Beautiful
Beautiful?
Is it very bro?
Because the mountain is for bros
We’re actually brothers
Ooh youre brothers!
Bro mountain,yeah!
This was kinda dangerous
The step was narrow
If you don’t careful you might fall into the crater
I’m not kidding
You’re litteraly in the top of the volcano
You gotta be balance…like me
Bro mountain makes me more bro!
Because it’s very beautiful, I forgot how tired I was
But yeah I forgot all of that
God gave us this beautiful nature
In order for me to forget my fatigue
And I already have my stamina back
I can run, I can dance
This is the perfect place to dance
Because you’re surrounded by the awesome nature
So when you dance you’ll become one with it
Am I right?!
And I got the positive energy as well
So mystical
Positively mystical
It’s time to go back to Surabaya
So we can continue our journey
C’mon Nay
(random chattering)
C’mon we’re going on adventure to Surabaya
We’re going with a car?
Yeah
I don’t want to!
Why car?
I already obtain the energy
I don’t need no car!
I’m going to Surabaya by foot!
