Amazing Thing Around The World


       
- Salar de Uyuni -

Salar de Uyuni (or Salar de Tunupa) is the world's largest salt flat at 10,582 square kilometers (4,086 sq mi). It is located in the Daniel Campos Province in Potosí in southwest Bolivia, near the crest of the Andes and is at an elevation of 3,656 meters (11,995 ft) above sea level.  Salar is salt flat in Spanish. Uyuni originates from the Aymara language and means a pen (enclosure); Uyuni is a surname and the name of a town that serves as a gateway for tourists visiting the Salar. Thus Salar de Uyuni can be loosely translated as a salt flat with enclosures, the latter possibly referring to the "islands" of the Salar; or as "salt-flat at Uyuni (the town named 'pen for animals')".


The Salar was formed as a result of transformations between several prehistoric lakes. It is covered by a few meters of salt crust, which has an extraordinary flatness with the average elevation variations within one meter over the entire area of the Salar. The crust serves as a source of salt and covers a pool of brine, which is exceptionally rich in lithium. The salt is over 10 meters thick in the centre. In the dry season, the salt plains are a completely flat expanse of dry salt, but in the wet season, it is covered with a thin sheet of water that is still drivable. When that happens, it turns into the largest mirror on the planet.

The Salar is virtually devoid of any wildlife or vegetation. The latter is dominated by giant cacti. They grow at a rate of about 1 centimeter (0.39 in) per year to a height of about 12 meters (39 ft). Other shrubs include Pilaya, which is used by locals to cure catarrh, and Thola (Baccharis dracunculifolia), which is burned as a fuel. Also present are quinoa plants and queñua bushes (Polylepis).

While it looks like it must be hell on Earth, it's not hot at all: its temperatures range from a low 55 degrees Fahrenheit (13º C) to 70º F (21º F). But I still want to go there because this place very amaze me.

Gathapraya

It is a cutural festival organized by SMA Negeri 3 Bandung anually from 3 years ago, the purpose of this event is to introduce Indonesian cultures to netizen how amazing it is.

For this year, we pick "Gathapraya" for the theme and it means hope for the future. Gathapraya has been done on Saturday, 30th September 2017. We invited HiVi and Nidji for the main artists. I am one of committees for this event and everyone worked hard to make the event hit the best result.

The event opened with parade from Saparua to Bali street, started from 9 am until 11 am approximately. Then, 12 am the main event started with opening from chief of the event. After that, extracurricular collaboration has began and ended with appearance from theater  extracurricular and then continued with bands that are sang a lot of musics. 

I met a lot of my friends from different schools there and I was so happy to see them after a long time. When HiVi and Nidji perform it was the most memorable moments for me because I spent my time with other committees to enjoy this successful event.

I feel very proud that Gathapraya is going well as planned and touched because my friends told me that the event was exciting for them. I am grateful which is our hard work paid off with the satisfaction from the visitors. I hope next year we can make a more successful event than this year.
