Baturrachman Mosque ~ reviving Banda Aceh 4

Hi, I came back to my room. Today, I had to attend the union meeting and reception after that. It worries me if I can wake up in time next morning.....

---------------------------------------------

Today, I upload the picture of the Mosque in Banda Aceh.

We touched down safely on the ground of Banda Aceh, and directly went to field tour around the city to grasp the current situation after the Tsunami disaster.

This mosque, named Baturrachman Mosque is in central area of the city. Its architecture is very famous as one of the most beautiful mosque in South East Asia.

However, this mosque was also damaged by Tsunami in 2004. When I visited there, I saw the damage had been repaired completely. For your reference, I introduce one picture found by the URL below. You can see how destructive the Tsunami was.

final approach ~ reviving Banda Aceh 3

B-737 Garuda Indonesia was smoothly approaching the final destination, Banda Aceh, after a few hours departed from Jakarta domestic terminal.

It might be long way there, from Japan, via Singapore and Jakarta. I reminded what is the purpose of this trip in the seat feeling a little fatigue . I was dispatched for attending International Conference there, however, I was really interested in the situation of people who had suffered from civil war against the government, and tremendous natural disaster, Tsunami.

After a few minutes I took this picture, we touched down Banda Aceh Airport safely.

In next topic, I wonder if I could show you a picture in Banda Aceh city.

One night stay in Jakarta~ reviving Banda Aceh 2

I wanna go on the story of the trip to Banda Aceh.

I departed from KIX, and arrived at Jakarta, via Singapore in a day. This picture is which I stay in Jakarta, Pan Pacific Hotel.

When I arrived there, the reception staff offered "up grade" of my room. I really surprised once I entered the room,

"This is Semi-suite room, isn't it!!??"

Of course this is my first time to stay such a high-class room. And this is also the first time that I make the school bear the expenses for stay,,,

I was so excited and almost forgot the purpose of this trip (^_^;

In next topic, I will report and show you a picture reaching Banda Aceh.
