All About Pontianak City

This is one story of my lived. When I lived in West Borneo. I have been living there almost 14 years. West Borneo, well known with khatulistiwa monument, the location in the capital city of West Borneo that is Pontianak. Besides famous with khatulistiwa city, tourist attractions, cultures, food, and the interesting place who I had been visiting are The Dark Hill and Long Beach. The location of Dark Hill is in the Sintang regency. Approximately 8 hours from Pontianak city. It has high 600 meters. There are has water fall and also caves. The Dark Hill located between two rivers, namely are Melawai River and Kapuas River. Can you imagine, how beautiful The Dark Hill is. Others than The Dark Hill, there is also other tourist attraction, namely is Long Beach. Long Beach is named because it has a length about 3 km. With sand, clear water, calm, with cool air, and it was very comfortable. Around of the Long beach, there are also has restaurants, hotels, and swimming pool. I am very happy to visit that place.
About the culture, if in Jakarta has Abang and None, in West Borneo so, and we called with Bujang and Dara. These selections are held every once a year, exactly on May. This event was held aiming for the younger generation sill know and preserve of West Borneo culture. I hope the cultures of Indonesia can be known to the world. Not only from West Borneo, but also all of the Indonesian cultures.
