Don't forget to stop by IndonesianPod101.com for more great Indonesian Language Learning Resources! -------Lesson Dialog------- ----Formal ---- Lebaran, Mudik, dan Ketupat Hari Raya Idul Fitri atau Lebaran adalah hari libur terpenting bagi Republik Indonesia. Dengan populasi yang 90%-nya adalah Muslim, perayaan Lebaran menjadi tradisi nasional. Lebaran disebut pula sebagai Hari Kemenangan. Di bulan Ramadhan, umat Islam berpuasa selama 30 hari. Di hari ke-30, setelah berbuka, umat Muslim melakukan takbiran dengan mengumandangkan Allahu Akbar sebagai ekspresi kebahagiaan karena telah menang terhadap hawa nafsu. Keesokan paginya, pada tanggal 1 Syawal, umat Muslim memenuhi berbagai mesjid untuk menjalankan shalat Eid bersama keluarga. Lebaran di Indonesia menjadi kesempatan bagi banyak orang untuk berkumpul dengan keluarga. Banyak orang yang menggunakan waktu ini untuk pulang ke kampung halaman yang berada di lain kota, lain propinsi, bahkan lain pulau. Situasi ini disebut mudik. Karena orang beramai-ramai pulang kampung pada saat yang sama, dengan sendirinya biaya transportasi umum melonjak tinggi. Apabila melalui jalan darat, lalu lintasnya menjadi padat bahkan macet. Stasiun kereta, terminal bus, dan bandara udara dipenuhi orang. Pada masa mudik, kota-kota besar menjadi lengang dan sunyi. Demikian pula Jakarta—yang pada masa biasa tiada hari tanpa macet—setiap Lebaran menjadi sepi. Akan tetapi, keadaan ini tidak berlangsung lama. Setelah masa mudik berakhir, kota–kota kembali ramai, bahkan lebih ramai dari sebelumnya. Hal ini karena orang yang pulang kampung kembali ke kota dengan membawa dua temannya untuk mencari pekerjaan. Sajian khas di waktu lebaran adalah ketupat. Ketupat terbuat dari janur yang dianyam hingga menjadi kotak kecil diisi diisi beras atau ketan, lalu dimasak bersama santan sampai matang. Ketupat bisa dihidangkan bersama rendang atau opor ayam. Makanan adalah elemen penting di waktu Lebaran. Biasanya keluarga-keluarga saling mengunjungi untuk berhalal-bi-halal atau bermaaf-maafan lalu dijamu dengan masakan istimewa oleh tuan rumah. Lazimnya, yang muda mengunjungi yang tua untuk mohon maaf dari orang yang dituakan tersebut. Libur nasional Lebaran resminya berlangsung dua hari. Akan tetapi, karena banyak pekerja mengambil cuti tambahan di masa ini, kebanyakan kantor tutup hingga 5 hari kerja. ----Formal English---- Lebaran, Mudik, and Ketupat Idul Fitri Holiday, or Lebaran, is the most important holiday for Indonesian Republic. With ninety percent of the population being Muslims, the Lebaran celebration is indeed a national tradition. Lebaran is often referred to as "The Winning Day." During the holy month of Ramadhan, Muslims carry out a thirty-day fast. On the thirtieth day, after breaking the fast, Muslims recite takbiran and chant Allahu Akbar as an expression of great happiness due to their victory over desires. The following morning, on the 1st of Syawal, Muslims crowd mosques everywhere to pray Eid Shalat with all family members. Lebaran in Indonesia becomes an opportunity for many to gather with their families. They use this "time to visit their hometown in another city, or another province, or even another island." This situation is called mudik. Because a lot of people go back to their hometown at the same time, it is only natural that the public transportation cost skyrockets. If going by land road, the traffic becomes very congested. Rail stations, bus terminals, and airport are packed with people. During the mudik time, big cities become empty and lonely. This also applies to Jakarta where in normal time there is not one day that passes without a traffic jam. Every Lebaran Jakarta gets to be very lonely. However, this does not last long. [...]

Don't forget to stop by IndonesianPod101.com for more great Indonesian Language Learning Resources! -------Lesson Dialog------- ----Formal ---- Pesona Pulau Lombok Terletak tepat di sebelah timur pulau Bali, Lombok adalah sebuah pulau di Propinsi Nusa Tenggara Barat. Karena pesona alam dan budayanya, banyak orang yang menyebut Lombok sebagai Bali kedua. Untuk mencapai Lombok, pengunjung dapat menyeberang Selat Lombok dengan ferry dari Pulau Bali, atau dengan penerbangan domestik ke kota Mataram, ibukota propinsi. Tujuan utama wisatanya adalah Pantai Senggigi yang berjarak hanya 12 kilometer dari Kota Mataram. Senggigi dikenal dengan keindahan dan kealamiannya. Sesampai di Senggigi, pantai eksotik dengan ombak yang saling berkejaran dan hamparan pasir putih di bawah langit biru menanti anda. Suasana alami yang belum banyak dijejali turis, menjadi penanda beda pantai ini dengan pantai-pantai di Bali. Berjalan menyusuri pantai sekitar setengah jam akan mengantar anda ke Pura Batu Bolong, yang dibangun di atas karang. Konon menurut legenda, dahulu kala di pura ini sering diadakan pengorbanan seorang perawan. Di sebelah barat laut Lombok terdapat tiga pulau kecil yang disebut Gili. Kepulauan ini dapat dicapai dengan kapal atau dengan perahu lokal dari kota Bangsal di utara Senggigi. Ketiga pulau ini; Gili Trawangan, Meno dan Air sangat kecil. Gili Trawangan yang terbesar, hanya memiliki panjang 3 km dan lebar 2 km dengan titik tertinggi hanya sekitar 20 m dari muka laut. Ditandai oleh pesona terumbu karangnya, Gili dikenal sebagai salah satu tempat terbaik di untuk menyelam dan bersnorkel di Lombak. Gili Trawangan dihuni oleh hanya 800 orang, dan di sini tidak diizinkan menggunakan kendaraan bermesin. Yang diizinkan hanya cidomo (gerobak berpenghela kuda), kuda, dan sepeda gayung. Cidomo sendiri adalah gerobak berpenghela kuda. Di tiga gili ini wisatawan dapat berjemur bermalasan sepanjang hari; menikmati matahari terbit dari balik Gunung Rinjani, lalu matahari terbenam dari Gunung Agung di Bali. Bila anda mencari tantangan alam, maka taman nasional Rinjani adalah jawabannya. Berada di tengah pulau, daya tarik utama taman nasional ini adalah Gunung Rinjani. Rinjani adalah gunung api yang masih akti sekaligus gunung tertinggi ketiga di Indonesia (3726 m). Di puncak Rinjani terdapat danau kaldera Segara Anak. Bila udara baik dari puncak pendaki dapat melayangkan pandang jauh ke semenanjung pulau Lombok, sebelum turun melepas lelah dan berendam di sumber air panas. ----Formal English---- The Fascinating Lombok Located right next to the Bali, Lombok is an island in the Lesser Sunda or Nusa Tenggara in the West Nusa Tenggara Province. Known for its charming nature and culture many hail Lombok as the second Bali. To reach Lombok, one can cross Lombok Strait from Bali by ferry or by domestic flight to Mataram, capital of the province. The main tourist destination is Senggigi Beach located only 12 km from Mataram city. Senggigi is known as an exquisite and natural beach. Arriving at Senggigi, an exotic beach with rolling waves and white sands under a clear blue sky awaits you. The natural atmosphere and the absence of overcrowded tourists set the beach apart from any beaches in Bali. Strolling along the beach about half an hour will bring you to the Batu Bolong Shrine (Hollow Stone), which was built on a rock. According to local folklore, long time ago in this shrine a ceremony sacrificing a virgin was often held. On the northwest of Lombok we can find a group of three islets called Gili. The islets can be reached by ship or local boat from Bangsal city just north of Senggigi. The three islands: Gili Trawangan, Meno, and Air are very small. Gili Trawangan, the largest, is only 3 km lon [...]
