Chap 2

The river in my village doesn't look like it used to. The color turned black, and debris such as plastic waste, styrofoam, fallen leaves and clothes floated on the surface of the river. Meanwhile the river banks also changed. Trash scattered and piled up in every corner has now become a common sight in these rivers. This shows the river is so polluted that the water is no longer healthy. In fact, this river is one of the water sources in my area. If this trash scene is left as, then over time it will get worse. This will also have a bigger impact on the problem.

There are several spots to marvel at the mountain’s sunrise and the most well-known is Penanjakan 1 viewpoint. Situated at 2,700 meters above the sea level, it allows you to view a picturesque combination of Mt. Bromo, Mt. Batok, and the peak of Mt. Semeru. For those staying at the hotel nearby Mt. Bromo, expects to be pick up by the jeep driver around 3 a.m. to enjoy the sunrise at this place. The journey to the viewpoint will be filled with the steep slopes and uneven road surface. Those who may experience motion sickness are suggested to sit in the front.

Other than Penanjakan 1, the other sunrise spots, which are on a lower ground, are named Bukit Cinta (Love Hill) and Bukit King Kong (King Kong Hill). When the route is congested due to a large crowd in the morning, prepare to hike several minutes or hop on an ojek (motorcycle taxi). Some stalls selling instant noodles, fried snack and warm beverages, as well as renting winter gear like shawls, hats, and jackets can also be found on the area.
