Bus Trans Musi

Bus Shelter, the Importance

In this modern life, transportation is considered as the significant need of the society. People do the travels a lot. Therefore, they need such transportation that can bring them to any places they want to go. If we are talking about transportation, there are many types of transportation that we can use. The basic transportation types are the private and public transportation. People can buy their own motorcycle, car, truck, even plane as their transportation or they can simply wait in the Bus Trans Musi shelter to ride the public bus transportation.

Here I want to discuss specifically about the public transportation such as bus. We all understand that if we want to use such public transportation, we need to go to the bus station. What if we are on the street and want to go somewhere by the bus? The answer is by waiting at any nearest bus shelter. Bus shelters are the infrastructures that are needed by the society. It functions as the waiting post of passengers who want to use public transportation such as Bus Trans Musi.

Another benefit of the bus shelter such as Bus Trans Musi is the comfort of the passengers who are waiting for their bus. It means that bus shelter provides the protection against bad weather such as heat and rain. Moreover, government has provided the advanced bus shelter for people by installing some entertainment devices such as television to maximize the content of the passengers.

Desperation drives people to do all sorts of things. This year, I'm desperate to get out there and do something. Learn something new. Get outdoors in Palembang more.

I have always declared that the sport that I most hate watching on TV is golf. Obviously, I don't understand the lure of the game. What is so exciting about hitting a tiny white ball with a variety of sticks, walking after it and then finally pushing it into a hole in the ground? If I wanted to sink balls, pool would be my game of choice.

Anyhow, Palembang may not have a single park but it does have a golf course. I think its around US$18.25 for the 18 holes and you don't need to be a member of the club. This is the only outdoor activity that I have identified for now. I'm sure the game is not as slow as it appears to be.

We went there on the weekend to find out about lessons. The pricing seems reasonable. I should have jotted it down but I think lessons are US$9 for an hour. You also pay US$2 for 100 balls at the driving range. And, the teacher also mentioned another US$2 for the caddy. At the driving range??? He said it was for the guy to put the little white ball down for you and to also go pick them all up after the lesson. Small matter, creates employment I suppose.

I have no idea how good or bad the teachers are or what it will mean to my long term technique if I pick up bad habits now. We're still thinking about it. In the mean time, here are some "interesting" photos from around the clubhouse.

Apart from the obvious typos, I found the listing of unacceptable attire amusing....tight and short shorts tee hee hee :)

However, if Father and Mother of force, I would not be disobedient to parents. "Legitimate Denar and his wife argued, perhaps because Dayang Merindu only nineteen years old, there is no desire in love with the youth. When the family's Old Fair comes to apply, they accepted the proposal with a bond engagement.

Meanwhile, in a village in the downstream city of Palembang, there is a young man named Kemala State, child family farmers on the banks of the River Musi. During a living migrate to another country, he learned martial arts. One day, Kemala State was in the shower with her friends at the River Musi.

Two days boating upstream, keep asking, and met with a girl who was fetching water. The girl smiled replied:
"Yes, young sir. It's my cup of shampoo. Dayang Merindu name. Three days ago we baths abuzz. He was shampooing her hair washed. She placed this cup on the raft and we were playing simbur-simburan bath. He was very worried because this cawannya swept away. "

The girl was amazed meliht a handsome young man before him. He said:
"Young Master himself who returned it. It's there in the upper house. Surely he was very grateful.
"Ah, please return the little brother. I worry later if he thought this cawannya I took for granted. "
"No, young sir. Dayang Merindu the most beautiful girl in the whole village. Very humble and friendly. Mr. Young has been found and two days away from there downstream to drive her here. "But since Kemala State refused to deliver, the girl says:
"All right. I'll be going to his house. We will bathe busy-busy this evening. Later I will tell him everything. Young Master on our waiting on the edge of the bush road to the edge of a bath.

"Sorry Princess Jelita. Accept this cup. I am happy because it has been able to restore it, 'said Kemala State. Dayang Merindu welcoming cup. Were still holding the cup, Dayang Merindu said:
"Hear what the hell I can repay gracious sir?"
State Kemala was speechless. Her blood roar. Both are first to feel the fire of love in the vibrant soul. Dayang Merindu aware and ashamed of her friends. He pulled the cup. However, his friends who already understand deliberately away. Then, talk-bincanglah two teenagers who fell in love with it. Said Kemala Country:
"Have a bath. My friends are waiting. Allow us met again? "
"I also wanted to say. Can we met again? We bathe twice a day. Wait in this way. "

Three days Kemala State was in the village. Six times they met and talked. When he returned home to his village, his parents asked the State Kemala Dayang Merindu apply. However, how disappointed they were, when sah Denar and his wife reject the application, arguing Dayang Merindu already betrothed.
State Kemala very angry. Dewa Jaya challenged to compete. Dewa Jaya not refuse. Both Datuk overlooking the village. They says it wants to compete. Who wins he is entitled to be husband Dayang Merindu.

"I love each and Kemala State. However, I knew God loved me Jaya. Her love sanctioned by my parents. Now both have become corpses. I want to do justice to both. Please Datuk split into two this my body. What next please Kemala buried with the State and the other one was buried with Dewa Jaya. "Audiences are stunned by the decision and Datuk Dayang Merindu it. Before they could say and do anything, right hand Merindu Dayang, who had been holding a knife next to a fast swinging smeared with poison. Edge of the blade pierced his chest. He collapsed and died on the spot.

This story is mere legend. People could not believe it ever happened. However, in Palembang, where Dayang Merindu bath wash, until now known as Kampung Keramasan. Bidar race developed, until now and so will live as a traditional art paddles Palembang. Dayang story Merindu still alive today. This story is often staged with dance, symbolizing beauty, honesty, respect for parents and the ability to act fairly towards those who have sacrificed life for love.
