I feel excited...!

Who wouldn’t excited when we went to thousands of islands located in Banjarmasin. My excitement started while I was visiting at Pasar Terapung using kelothok. It’s likely such a simple ship frequently used by people who lived in the river side. We could see much view around the river. My flight took off at a quarter to two p.m. from Soekarno Hatta Airport, and arrived at Syamsudin Noor Airport at a half past four p.m. There, we saw Mr. Akram, a humble man represented by Mr.Manurung as Kepala Bidang Bagian Umum at Kanwil Dirjen Perbendaharaan Banjarmasin. He drove us to the hotel. After checked in at Hotel Banjarmasin International, we took a rest for a moment. Having relaxing, at night we had a dinner at Ikan Ciajur restaurant, located in front of the hotel. In the morning, we had breakfast at Bumbu Café served by the hotel. The meals tasted like so delicious. But, I still enjoyed The Javanesse Food. After then, we went visiting Kanwil Dirjen Perbendaharaan Banjarmasin. At 9 a.m. we went to the location of APBN Olympiad for Senior High School in Indonesia near with first location at Kanwil.

Generally, I was surprised looking the anthusiasm of the participants from whole Senior High School at Banjarmasin. There’s two categories of competition. Both debate and writing articles about APBN is such a new Olympiad for the participants. There’re 40 team, each team including 3 students, participated for the debate competition and there’re 36 students from 20 schools participated in “writing articles about APBN”. This Olympiad occurred as two day long, first one used for debate and second one used for final both debate and articles. Though as long as the day, we might see the heavy rain, but it made the competition was more fantastic. And also were the students. We might be proud of SMAN 7 Banjarmasin has became the winner, then came up SMAN 1 Banjarmasin as the runner up 1, the last we might see SMAN 6 Banjarmasin. Whole winner represented for the debate competition about APBN and others topic related with. Jeremia Bobby Waworuntu from SMA Frater Don Bosco Banjarmasin became the first winner for article one, and follow with Hj.Rafi’ah from SMA Muhammadiyah 2 Banjarmasin, and the last was Kartika Kumala from SMAN 1 Banjarbaru Banjarmasin. Lets give applause and appreciation for them all. Lets make all to know about APBN. May, it wouldn’t be such a new knowledge for Indonesian society especially.

We used our time went to “the Barito Bridge” at afternoon. I felt like flying over the sky. It’s so surprisingly for me. After travelling at “Sasirangan Accessories” we ate Soto Banjar at “Warung Bawah Jembatan”. When you traveled at Banjarmasin, it supposed you not to forget eating “Soto Banjar” at this place. It tasted delicious and served in double size too.

My travelling at Banjarmasin, include Pasar Terapung, the Barito Bridge, Citra, Martapura and Sasirangan Accessories became my first experience journey outer Java island. I felt excited so much. Thanks God, it would be a new spirit for me.
