Tawang Mangu is a small town located at the bottom of the slopes of Mount Lawu, which is one of the highest mountain in Indonesia. The city is the mainstay of Karanganyar district of Central Java as one of the tourist destinations most visited by tourists both domestic and foreign. Because of the potential for its natural beauty with a beautiful mountain setting and cool tube, and here too there are several natural tourist sites are not owned by other cities in Indonesia.
To reach this city is easy enough, from the bus terminal Tirtonadi Solo only takes about 3 hours and it costs around Rp. 7000, - / person up at the bus station Tawang Mangu. From the bus terminal Tawang Mangu if you want to get around the city, there is general angkuta or it could be a horse, because in the Tawang Mangu lot of local residents who rent horses to get around town.
Icon One of the most interesting and the most the reason people from different regions to visit this city is, the existence of a natural tourist attractions such as waterfalls, named "Gerojokan Sewu". In Javanese word "Gerojokan" means waterfall or water fall if in English. While the word "Sewu" means one thousand. But the literal, Gerojokan Sewu waterfall here does not mean the numbers there are a thousand pieces, maybe just menghiperbolakan will be the height of the waterfall is the estimated height of about 80 m which is the highest waterfall in Central Java. Being to achieve it we must descend about 1000 early risers, so "maybe" on the grounds that, this waterfall is named gerojokan sewu.
During down the stairs to get to the falls, we will be greeted and accompanied by hundreds of long-tailed monkeys that are permanent residents of this place. That is why it is advised, if you would like to visit there to bring snacks to share with the monkeys. They do seem to seem benign, probably because it was used by the visitors, and they did not hesitate to approach visitors to ask for food he was carrying. But be careful anyway if put bags or items that interest, because they could have taken to be brought up in the tree and do not want to return them.
Once in place the falls, we will be served by the scenery really is extraordinary. Stream of water falling from a height of about 80 m over it makes a roar, with a splash of water to form a thin mist, and with the help of the reflection of sunlight, it will form a beautiful rainbow in the background of a dense pine forest. Among the steep and slippery boulders existing waterfall near the crash site, a lot of visitors who accidentally wetting themselves to feel clear and cold running water from the sewu grojokan.
Not far from the scene of the waterfall, there is a bridge that connects the right and left side of the complex of tourist sites Gerojogan Sewu waterfall is separated by a small river from the waterfall. If visitors want to the other side, it must pass through the small bridge. But behind this exotic place, tucked a myth or mystery that is feared especially for the lovers who are in a relationship of love, or in a relationship. This myth is already very well known in the land of Java, for the believer might be shy to make this place as a place of dating. But for those who do not believe in this myth, many lovers who make this place as the location of a love for them.
Myth of Gerojokan Sewu is "when two lovers come to this place for dating and cross over the bridge, then do not be long or may be broken and will not get in the aisle".
I may be one person who does not believe in the myth, on October 1, 2006, I invited a girlfriend (more precisely because the former has now become another man's wife hehehe ..) to come to this place. But we did not come alone, I also invite friends rented a house with me in Salatiga leisure to go along to this location, the Avanza rent a car. Incidentally there is indeed our goal is to please my boyfriend at the time, was a last days in Java because he had completed his study at one university famous in Salatiga and will return to its original place in Central Sulawesi. I am not the only one alone visit this place, before-before I frequent this place to have recreation with family and friends in the youth back home.
For one full day, we spend time in this place, joking together, play water up soaking wet, and even the sacred bridge pictured above with funny monkeys who always followed us with the background waterfall itself. In addition to the Gerojokan Sewu, we also visited other places around the existing City of Tawang Mangu, including Sarangan Lake, an artificial lake that the Dutch are there in the district. Magetan East Java and can be taken approximately 30 minutes from downtown Tawang Mangu. Because actually Tawang Mangu is a border town between Central Java and East Java.
Returning from there, one week later girlfriend (ex) I have to go back to the region of origin in Central Sulawesi by ship. I am sadly forced to deliver his departure at the port of Tanjung Mas Semarang with her friends. Tears we could not weir, a farewell hug as if we did not want to release. In fact, at that time, our relationship has been running about a year more. But what may make, I also was unable to menahanya stay longer, because he had to accompany his mother who was alone there. Although at that time we had been separated by a long distance, but our relationship still continues to run normally, although only voice that can be heard via hp buntutku, but at least it can be a little nostalgia treat us both, and we are trying to break the myth of The sewu gerojokan.
There was a possibility anyway, if doubt and boredom into trials and temptations that continue to haunt our relationship, because if we were still able to be reunited or not, because of the influence of this distance. Those are questions that often arise in our minds. But unexpectedly after nearly one year later, I was accepted to work in one of the NGOs in Manado North Sulawesi which incidentally is the hometown of his extended family. New hope again encourage our relationship, to slowly kill the doubts that exist. That means there is hope for me to meet him again, and it's really evident. One month I was in Manado, I was finally able to remove the longing that had been buried with him. At that time he has worked as part-time teachers to teach at three schools at once, so the school holiday, he could go visit her extended family in a small village barked producing sweet fruit from one of the existing districts in North Sulawesi. Opportunities like that often times we use, to meet each other again.
Almost every year, we just reunited when she is on vacation. But unfortunately, I have not had time to visit his residence in Central Sulawesi. Because every time I have vacation time, but at the same time I was given the task of attending to the Jakarta office. After the event I gained a new office holiday, of course I took the time to visit my parents all in the village, mumpung already exist in Java.
Even though I've been on the same land with him, they both in Sulawesi. But it turns out the distance and time constraints still remains a major obstacle of our relationship. Distance between Central Sulawesi and North Sulawesi was still so far away, and medanya not like the streets in Java. From where to where, which took three days road trip, and if the ship can be taken about two days. If using aircraft, tickets are much more expensive than going to Java. Despite frequent ups and downs of our relationship, but we are still trying to survive to be able to break the myth.
Various trials and tribulations as I stay in Manado fairly sizeable. No need to be clarified more about the temptation of Adam in Manado. Yups ... absolutely right ... the girls in this town can undermine the determination to the faithful, as is physically much more beautiful, sexy and daring when compared with my ex. For some time I almost had fallen by these temptations, but in the end I was still able to maintain this relationship, even so very hard with various offers of love is more tempting, especially as a rookie who is far from lover like me.
Other trials about the differences in the spiritual sense of the dominance of our church any different, even through disagreement and debate are fairly tough with her mother, but in order to maintain this relationship, I was ready to succumb to follow his taste. However there is one thing that a stumbling block that I can not pass is, to get a job in place he lives is in Central Sulawesi. I've tried to get online job information for the location there, but too few are in accordance with the qualifications I have, but there are a few that I follow up my application to send the file, but apparently there has been no reply. Since I did not manage to get a job there is, which is the main reason, and forcing him to take a decision that may be so hard for her.
In despair and indecision, as well as the accumulation of various rounds of vicious problems we face, backed up with at the same time, I was facing life issues that marginalize me to lose it a strong bargaining position. Then the same time too, another love came to him with a much more attractive package than I was, and far more than reliability and readiness that may be desirable by him. Of course I have had mengiklaskannya, though with a heavy heart and full of regret. But what may make, an important reason he was happy too, accompanying lack of my ability to get him completely, and he volunteered with other people who are local people from tempatnnya he lived. Although the little heart of any non unwillingness to let go.
The time has passed so quickly, seven years we have wrestled with the complicated love affair that just running around on the same issues that we can not find the end of the base solution. Finally toward the end of March 2011, with all the pain and sorrow we both officially end this story well and gracefully. Until then in mid-November 2011, he would apprise her wedding day. Although heart cut, but that's a reality, and only prayer can tell, "blessed hope".
Up in mid-January 2011, it turns out I just remembered and realized that about 6 years ago, I took him to cross the bridge Gerojokan Sewu waterfall Tawang Mangu, which he says is magical. Whether it was because of that or not, but in fact the myth is actually happening in our relationships.
To reach this city is easy enough, from the bus terminal Tirtonadi Solo only takes about 3 hours and it costs around Rp. 7000, - / person up at the bus station Tawang Mangu.
