BANTAENG
Bantaeng (also known as Bontain), 123 km from Ujwig Pandang, is a Makassarese boat-building centre
with a rich maritime history. It was noted as a dependency of the Javanese kingdom of Majapahit and its
ships were mentioned in 14th-century Javanese poetry. It was ceded to the Dutch under the Treaty of
Bungaya in 1667, and became an administrative centre. These days it is a town much like any other, with
fairly ordinary homestay accommodation. North of town, near the village of Bissapu, is a 100-metre-high
waterfall.
SANGRI-LA BANGKOK
On the banks of the Chao Phraya, Bangkok's "River of Kings", lies a hotel that has already set new
standards of hospitality for this celebrated city.
Set in magnificently landscaped tropical gardens, the Shangri-La Bangkok provides guests with all the
charm and warmth of the Orient and, at the same time, an unsurpassed range of facilities and leisure
activities.
There is a choice of 12 superb settings in which to wine and dine, a large free-form swimming pool that
overlooks the river, convention and meeting facilities for up to 2.000 people and a 24-flour business
center.
And, from every single guestroom and suite, there is a breathtaking view of all the exotic hustle and
bustle of the fabled "River of Kings".
One might expect such a well-equipped and positioned hotel to be miles away from the city center but, at
the Shangri-La Bangkok. the business district and main shopping areas are mere minutes away.
For more than 200 years, Bangkok's grandeur has been reflected in the waters of the Chao Phraya. Today,
the Shangri-La Bangkok towers beside this majestic river, offers its guests the golden promise of the East.
Lightning is a sudden, violent flash of electricity between a cloud and the ground, or from cloud
to cloud.
A lightning flash, or bolt, can be several miles long. It is so hot, with an average
temperature of 34,000 Centigrade that makes the air around it suddenly expand with a loud
blast. This is the thunder we hear. Lightning occurs in hot, wet storms. Moist air is driven up to
great height. It forms a type of cloud called cumolo nimbus. When the cloud rises high enough,
the moisture freezes. And then ice crystals and snowflakes are formed. These begin to fall,
turning to rain on the way down. This rain meets more moist air rising, and it is the friction
between them which produces static electricity. When a cloud is fully charged with this
electricity, it discharges as a lighting flash.
