Books, newspapers, magazines, and internet are all the same. They are the world’s
window. Through all of them we can learn many things and we can get a lot of
information about other countries and other people’s life. With a purpose to gain
knowledge, I write this journal. It consists of 4 newspaper articles, 4 magazine articles,
and 1 novel. This journal really helps me to know about many things that I have never
known before.

Nowadays smoking is one of the problems in Indonesia, and as I can see in this
article the government is serious to solve this problem. However, to be honest, I am not
sure that the government can solve this problem, because in fact, the Indonesian
government can only talk but there is no proof.
After looking at Nino’s opinion in the article, I think we have the same opinion.
The one who is wrong is the government, not the smokers, because the facilities for the
smokers are not available so what the smokers can do. In fact, as long as I can see there
are no special places for smokers in Surabaya.
This article shows me that Indonesia still needs improvement in their facilities.
Furthermore it teaches me to become a man who always keeps his words.

This article is true. Now all countries in the world are facing the global crisis.
There is no increase in Indonesian export and the $US keep increasing from Rp9,000 to
around Rp13,000. If this thing keeps going on, the world will face great inflation.
Furthermore, the Finance Minister, Sri Mulyani Indrawati, has said that Indonesian
economy may become slower in 2009.
In this case I also feel the impact. At first I wanted to buy a laptop, but because of
this global crisis laptop price increased drastically. This problem made me unable to buy
a laptop, which was very important for me. Furthermore my friend’s parents were also
depressed with this crisis and it made me feel pity on my friend.
I hope that this crisis can be stopped, so there will be no great inflation and more
people who are depressed or bankrupt. Even though I am not sure that our government is
taking this problem seriously.

Shang Dong has given a new idea about the concept of business.
It is cool to know that business through internet can give us a lot of money. I am amazed
to know that he sold 60 T-shirts in a day. I am sure that now he has become one of the
great aspirators for others.
Shang Dong makes me remember to university girls who sell their
goods through friendster. It is so innovative and creative. Even though they are not as
good as Shang Dong, they have done something new and fresh.
This article gives me inspiration about internet. Although
everyday I use internet, I don’t know that Internet can be a “shop”. Reading this article
opens my mind about internet and it encourages me to explore more about internet.
