1 Suramadu Bridge
The Suramadu Bridge (Indonesian: Jembatan Suramadu), also known as the Surabaya–
Madura Bridge, is a bridge with three cable-stayed sections constructed between Surabaya on the
island of Java and the town of Bangkalan on the island of Madura in Indonesia. Opened on June 10,
2009, the 5.4-km bridge is the longest in Indonesia and the first bridge to cross the Madura Strait.
The cable-stayed portion has three spans with lengths 192 m, 434 m and 192 m. The bridge
has two lanes in each direction plus an emergency lane and a dedicated lane for motorcycles. The
first toll bridge in Indonesia, fares have been initially set at Rp. 30,000 (US$3 in 2009) for four-
wheeled vehicles and Rp. 3,000 (US$0.30) for two-wheelers.
The bridge was built by a consortium of Indonesian companies PT Adhi Karya and PT
Waskita Karya working with China Road and Bridge Corp. and China Harbor Engineering Co. Ltd.
The total cost of the project, including connecting roads, has been estimated at 4.5 trillion rupiah
(US$445 million).
Construction was started on August 20, 2003. In July 2004, a girder collapsed, killing one
worker and injuring nine others. Work on the bridge halted at the end of 2004 due to lack of funds,
but was restarted in November 2005. The main span of the bridge was connected on March 31,
2009, and the bridge was opened to the public in June 10, 2009.Within a week of the opening, it
was discovered that nuts and bolts as well as maintenance lamps had been stolen and that there was
evidence of vandalism of cables supporting the main span.

islands are about 80 km northwest of Jepara, a small town in Central Java. It can be reached by a
ferry boat from Kartini Port in Jepara for about 3 hours.
This place is well known by savvy travelers of Java that would like to find some beautiful
beaches and sea without needing to leave to other parts of Indonesia. Many locals will also
introduce you to this place, the pride of Central Java for having their very own white sand beaches
and clear blue sea.
A beautiful sea getaway from the hustle and bustle of the inland of Java, though Java mainland
does bring a lot of charms, this is the answer to your cravings for sun, sea and sand. Also this place
is not swarmed with tourists yet unlike the famous Bali of Indonesia. Therefore, you can find
yourself enjoying the serenity of secluded and tranquil white beaches. Travelers come here to have
a fix of snorkeling or diving as well, where the coral reefs are well protected.
Visitors can rent a boat and go hopping from one island to another, exploring the sea and the
beaches as they go. Snorkeling is a must here where the corals are plenty and the sea is clear and
blue. There are many small islands to explore, such as Pulau Tengah, Tanjung Gelam and
Menjangan Besar (touted most beautiful).
Having 35 types of corals, sponges, mixtures of fringing and barrier with depths of 15 to 40
meters, Karimunjawa can be another diving heaven, where you can meet a large variety of marine
life and even shipwrecks. Good local diving spots here are Taka Panyawangan and Gosong Cemara.
Another interesting thing to do here in Karimunjawa is to go fishing. You can rent a boat and
go out to the various good fishing spots nearby to catch some lunch or dinner and finish it off with
fresh coconut found easily around the islands.
Ask the locals and hike or trek around, you may just find yourself from places with a beautiful
 panoramic view of the islands and the sea.

18 Fort Rotterdam is a 17th-century fort in Makassar on the island of Sulawesi. It is a Dutch
fort built on top of an existing fort of the Gowa Kingdom. The first fort on the site was constructed
by the local sultan in around 1634, to counter Dutch encroachments. It was the Dutch regional
military and governmental headquarters until the 1930s. It was extensively restored in the 1970s and
is now a cultural and educational centre, a venue for music and dance events, and a tourist
destination.
Fort Rotterdam lies in the centre of Makassar. It is rectangular in shape, surrounded by a
seven-meter wall. It was originally equipped with six bulwarks, five of which are still visible but the
sixth one cannot be seen anymore. Inside the fort are thirteen buildings, eleven of them are 17th-
century original buildings of the fort; most are still in good condition.
At the centre of the fort is a church building. Several buildings along the north and south
curtain walls still exist. The buildings along the northern curtain wall were some of the oldest
buildings, dating from 1686, such as the residence of the governor, residence of the senior
merchant, of the captain, the predikant, and the secretary, with several storage buildings for
weapons.
The buildings on the south curtain, originally used for storage, house a museum displaying
local skills in silk weaving, agriculture and boatbuilding; and scale models of indigenous boats. The
 barracks on the eastern wall now house a small library, featuring old Dutch books that mostly
belonged to Reverend Mates, a 19th-century missionary. The ground floor of the building, located
in the southeast corner of the fort, was formerly a prison. The southwestern Bastion (Bastion Bacan)
contains a prison where Prince Diponegoro was imprisoned at the end of his life.

What was the function of the fort when it was built by the Sultan of Gowa Kingdom?
A To encounter the Dutch invasions
B To be a tourist destination
C To be the Dutch regional military
D To be a cultural and educational center
E To be a venue for music and dance events

Fort Rotterdam lies in the centre of Makassar. It is rectangular in shape, surrounded by a
seven-meter wall. It was originally equipped with six bulwarks, five of which are still visible but the
sixth one cannot be seen anymore. Inside the fort are thirteen buildings, eleven of them are 17th-
century original buildings of the fort; most are still in good condition.
At the centre of the fort is a church building. Several buildings along the north and south
curtain walls still exist. The buildings along the northern curtain wall were some of the oldest
buildings, dating from 1686, such as the residence of the governor, residence of the senior
merchant, of the captain, the predikant, and the secretary, with several storage buildings for
weapons.
The buildings on the south curtain, originally used for storage, house a museum displaying local
skills in silk weaving, agriculture and boatbuilding; and scale models of indigenous boats. The
barracks on the eastern wall now house a small library, featuring old Dutch books that mostly
belonged to Reverend Mates, a 19th-century missionary. The ground floor of the building, located
in the southeast corner of the fort, was formerly a prison. The southwestern Bastion (Bastion Bacan)
contains a prison where Prince Diponegoro was imprisoned at the end of his life.

the people. You see them talking in the supermarket, on trains in the street everywhere!
So what are the advantages of mobile phones? First of all, they are very convenient because
you can phone from nearly anywhere. Another advantage is that they are rarely useful in emergency
situations. For example, if you are alone in your car and it breaks down, you can get help quickly. In
addition, you can also use your mobile to text your friends or connect to the internet.
However, there are disadvantages such as the cost. Mobile phone calls cost more than
normal calls. Furthermore, it can be annoying if you are on a train or a bus and you have to listen to
someone else’s boring conversation. Finally, people can contact you anywhere, at any time, unless
you switch your phone off!
