Natural Phenomenom: Dead Sea




What is the Dead Sea?
The Dead Sea is the lowest point on Earth at 430.5 meters (1412 feet) below sea level. It is a majestic and mysterious looking lake of light turquoise waters with salt crystals jutting out of it, and golden-brown hills surrounding it.

Where is the Dead Sea?
It is located in the Jordan Rift Valley, bordered by Israel to the East and Jordan to the West. Its hyper-salty waters and mineral-rich mud are known for their many healthy benefits, and many tourists and locals alike visit the hotels and spas on its beaches for mud treatments and salt baths.

The Dead Sea is famously known for being one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world, and certainly the deepest hyper-saline in the world, at a depth of 304 meters (997 feet). And the reason for this high salinity? The Dead Sea is a terminus for the flow of rain and surface water, which means water flows into it but doesn’t flow out: its water has no escape, but is trapped to evaporate.  Soaring summer temperatures and year-round hot dry climatic conditions make it a perfect place to spend unforgettable holidays yet lead to significant losses of water to evaporation. The water has been losing its H2O content for 65,000 years, with the minerals becoming more and more concentrated and salt prominent among them.
How did the Dead Sea get its name?
In various languages, the Dead Sea is referred to by different names, all reflective of its characteristics. Let’s take a look at all its different names and understand their origins.
The Salt Sea
The Dead Sea’s earliest known name is recorded in the Hebrew Scriptures, where it is referred to as “the Salt Sea”, from the Book of Genesis through to The Prophets and later writings. This name was given to due to its unique character: its significantly high salt content, which makes it a source for rock and sea salts.
In the later Roman Era, salt was a highly-valued, strictly controlled commodity, more so than gold or silver. The Roman armies were paid in salt, rather than hard currency, The Latin word for salt – “sal” – forms the basis of the word ‘salary’ from this same meaning. The Romans, beginning with Emperor Trajan, constructed a series of fortresses to dominate every entry and exit ravine for the movement of Dead Sea salt, guaranteeing the payments of tax by the traders. This tax was also paid in salt, rather than coinage.
The Dead Sea
Earliest translations of the name of the Dead Sea into non-indigenous languages often use its original name of “The Salt Sea”, but already by the Roman Era, visitors to Judea had begun to refer to the sea as the “Dead Sea”, as they were mostly struck with how the waters were devoid of all life-forms, whether plants or living creatures.
The Dead Sea origins in the past clarify the matter even better. In the days when the Jordan River flowed south from the Sea of Galilee with full force in the wet season, one could witness reeds and fish swept down with the river flow into the highly saline water of the Dead Sea. As neither fish nor algae can possibly survive in water which is nearly 10 times saltier than most oceans, it was a death-trap for them.
The Plains Sea
In the book of Joshua in the Bible, the Dead Sea is mentioned by the name “the Sea of the Plain”: “That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the Sea of the Plain, even the Salt Sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho” (Joshua 3:16).
Other names the Dead Sea has been called by over the years are: the Primordial Sea, the East Sea, the Sea of Lot, the Sea of the Arabah, the Sea of Sodom, the Stinking Sea, the Sea of Asphalt and the Devil’s Sea

Tur Budaya 2019

It begins on 17th March 2019, we all gathered at Husein Sastranegara International Airport in Bandung to flight to Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali. We're reallu excited about this Tur Budaya because we've waiting for this event since first day of second grade in SMAN 3 Bandung. And this is our picture at Husein Sastranegara International Airport.
Because our plane was delay untik 2pm, we're arrived at Bali too late so didn't go to Tanah Lot as other class. We straight went to Jimbaran Beach to have a dinner in our first beach. It was really amazing experience, but sadly the rain was come in the midle of or dinner so it's really bad for whom just arrived and haven't finish their food.But here's the picture i took before the rain came.
After having a dinner, we went to our hotel at Quest Hoter Denpasar to have a nice sleep because the next day it's really hectic day. We went to Tanjung Benoa Water Sport to do some activities, and I went to Turtle Island. Seeing the turtle is really makes me happy, and there also a snake and i took a picture with her.
And when back to the Tanjung Benoa I also ride a Jet Ski, again, that is really amazing experience and first time for me. After play and ate lunch, we move to Pandawa beach. Another beautiful beach in Bali, with a clear sand and blue sea. Such relaxing.

We're not finish, we went to GWK to took a picture with all 3'20. We spend our afternoon there and we watched the Devdan Show and it's really amazin show. Sadly we can take a picture so i can't show you guys the show. But here's my photo at GWK or Garuda Whisnu Kencana which is one of the biggest statue of Whisnu.

The next day, we had breakfast at the hotel and went to Tirta Empul, which is a holy place for Balinese people. There's a place for we take a bath and local believe that the water is can give so much benefits. Tirta empul also near to Desa Palipuran, the village that really famous because really clean and full of peace. Sadly, again, when we just arrived at the village the rain was come. I don't even have a walk to the village. So we decided to back to the bus and back to hotel for prepared to Nirmala Hotel where our gathering night is held.Here's some picture,


Last day in Bali, before we went to Gili Manuk port to back to Bandung, we visited Bedugul first. Different from Denpasar, Bedugul is has a cold weather just like Bandung. Again, Bedugul has a relax vibes and makes me really like to staying there longer. But sadly, at the afternoon we had to continue our way to Gili Manuk. See you when I see you Bali.



Buuuuutttttt, we haven't done. After transfered with Feri, we arrived at Katapang Port and continued our way with bus to Surabaya because we back to Bandung with train from Gubeng Station in Gubeng, Surabaya. It was really exciting journey, and it's really sad that our Turbud just over.

Thankyou Bali for the memory, and also all of my friends for more exciting experiences.

Bakti Desa

On early Febuary 2019, 3'2020 went to Cibeureum village in Bandung for Bakti Desa. So bakti desa is anual event from SMAN 3 Bandung that every student at grade 11 must attend this event.

First we're ghatered in SMAN 3 Bandung to went to the village together and it's really far from the city. So when we finally we arrived we gathred at hall and ate our lunch before wnet to our parent house. 

For me bakti desa is really exciting, and I'm so happy when I went to the village and meet my foster mother. Her name is Bi Alit. Bi Alit was a single parent who lived with two kids, one older sister just graduated from high school, and younger brother is sixth grade of elementary school. Their family is so kind to us, I'm in one group with Tasya anda Audrey. Bi alit just treated us like we're their kids, she's so kind.

Bi Alit is a gardener for her boss in garden far from her house. There, we asked Bi Alit to follow her to the garden, at first she doesn't allowed us to follow her, but because we really want to came, finally she allowed us. And the garden is so far, Im not kidding, It's litteraly so far buat also really exciting because the air and village vibe makes us not really tired when we went to the garden. So Bi Alit is not alone, she has a friends who waited her on top of the hill. So they start working at 7am to 12 am, and have a break at 10am for eat.

Me, Tasya, and Audrey really respect their hard work because working on top of the hill isn't easy at all. Once we tried to go up and can't even standing because the land is really sloping. But they can easily standing there and planted a carrot. I giave a lot respect for them, because woithout them we can't eat vegie like now. At first before came there i really hate to eat vegie, but the after followed Bi Alit I more respect to every food i buy and eat because we don't know what's story behind it.

We stayed at Cibeureum village for three days and two nights. And the memory is really unforgetable because every minute i spend there is really meaningful. And also i spend a lot time to get closer to my friend, on the last night we gathered and grill a fish from the pool at the evening. 

On the last day, the whole classes is went to upstream of citarum river using pickup car, that's was really amazing. But at the same time i felt really sad because i had to leave this village, leave the people, leave Bi Alit, and leave the memory. When i say goodbye to bi alit, we're really emotional because i felt like bi alit is really my mom, not only me, Tasya and Audrey also do the same thing.

And finally we back to Bandung city. I've promised to her I'll comeback soon with Tasya and Audrey too.

My Goal

Hi, I'm Intan and I'm 16 years old. So far my life is good, there's nothing special and everything still under control.I got 1 sibling, which is my brother 8 years oleder than me and now he's working at another city.

I went to Andir Kidul elementary school and after that i continue to 2 Cileunyi junior high school but moved on grade 9 to 8 junior high school. And then here I'm now, study in SMAN 3 Bandung.

My friends said that I'm a good listener, and yes i agree with them because it feels really good can listen to my friends story and cheer them up. But I'm a passive person, I don't really like to be around of people and I'd like to sit alone in cafe or my room because i feel kinda not comfortable.

Talking about hobby, I have many but not a productive hoby. I do love writing, like i can write anytime and anywhere of i have an idea to write. I also like listening to chill music or jamming music to cheer me up, and of course same like other teenager i do love sleep.

About achivement i got from my hoby, i don't think so because my hoby maybe kinda bored. Except one achivement, sometimes i published my book in one application called wattpad and i almost hit 65k readers there so i think that's my achivement from my hoby. And until now I already published 8 stories on Wattpad.

Like other people, i also have a dream. But not that kind of dream, i'd like to called it imagine. Because one of mine is can breath under water. But if you ask me what i wanna be, i wanna be doctor specially psychiatrist because like i said before, i like to listen people. And i have some interest to psycholgy book or something like that. My effort to reach my dream is continue to understand people and of course study hard because being a doctor isn't easy.
