Paper Balloon

Well, this is a unique tradition when I visited Blitar, East Java, last week.






























Some people were busy preparing a paper balloon on the town square of Blitar, East Java, Sunday (20/09). Has become a tradition and entertainment for people to fly paper balloons after Idul Fitri pray. According to one of the people, Nunung (50), that tradition has been started since she was a child, or more than half a century ago until now. Paper balloons are made of wax paper and use the heat from the fire as a tool for the paper balloon fly.

I have a short video how they fliying of paper ballons...

TransJogja is a bus rapid transport system, cheap and air-conditioned around Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Systems that use a bus (medium size) is implementing a closed system, meaning passengers can not enter the bus without going through the checkpoint, as well as TransJakarta.

In addition, the payment system implemented different: one-way tickets to students, and general tickets to subscribe. There are three types of tickets can be purchased by passengers, the fare one way (single trip), and general tickets to subscribe.

This ticket is different from regular bus ticket because they are a smart card. Tickets will be reviewed automatically by a machine that will open the door automatically. Passengers can change buses without having to pay additional fees, if still in one goal.
