Raja Ampat is situated off the northwest tip of Bird’s Head Peninsula on Papua, the most
eastern Island of the Indonesian Archipelago. It is an archipelago comprising over 1,500 small
islands, cays, and shoals surrounding the four main islands of Waigeo, Batanta, Salawati,
and Misool.
For underwater enthusiasts, Raja Ampat definitely offers the some of the world’s ultimate
experience. The territory within the islands of the Four Kings is enormous, covering 9.8 million
acres of land and sea, home to 540 types of corals, more than 1,000 types of coral fish and 700
types of mollusks. This makes it the most diverse living library for world's coral reef and
underwater biota.
According to a report developed by The Nature Conservancy and Conservation International,
around 75% of the world's species live here! Raja Ampat’s sheer numbers and diversity of marine
life and its huge pristine coral reef systems are a scuba dream come true – and a fantastic site for
snorkelers too
Obviously, there are a lot of diving and snorkeling spots to choose from in this vast waters.
Among these are at the Kabui Passage (the very narrow passage between Waigeo and Gam Island
crossed by renowned British explorer, Alfred Russell Wallace in 1860), around
the Arborek Island’s Dock, Sawandarek, Yenbuba, Friwen Wall, and many-many more.
Aside from its endless fascinating natural attractions, Raja Ampat also offers the distinct
hospitality of the Papuan. At the Arborek Tourism Village, you can stay at a number of
homestays and mingle with the locals whilst observing their daily life and unique traditions.
When a group of tourists arrived, they usually perform a traditional welcome dance right at
the dock and entertained the ‘guests’ with various Papuan folk songs.

Diponegoro was a Javanese prince who opposed the Dutch rule in Indonesia. He was the
eldest son of Sultan Hamengku Bowono III. Diponegoro was born in Yogyakarta in 1785 and
died in Makasar in 1855.
During the Dutch rule, a ruler like his father had lost many rights such as the ability to
lease land. Instead, he was paid by the Dutch to keep peace. This was an indignity to his father.
This led to an open battle headed by Diponegoro, which was called the Java War. It lasted for
five years, from 1825 until 1830. During that period Diponegoro, using guerrilla tactics, had
successfully led battles, ambushing Dutch camps and raiding food supplies. Over the period
of five years, more than 200,000 people were dead because of the war.
In March 1830 Diponegoro was invited to negotiate under a flag of truce. He accepted
but was taken prisoner on 28 March despite the flag of truce. He was arrested and sent away
by the Dutch to Manado, then moved to Ujung Pandang, and he spent the rest of his life
there. After being held by the Dutch in Fort Rotterdam in Ujung Pandang for 25 years, he died
there in 1855.

Alexander Graham Bell was a Scottish-born American scientist and inventor, most famous
for his pioneering work on the development of the telephone. He was born on 3 March 1847 in
Edinburgh and educated there and in London. At the age of 16 Bell himself began researching the
mechanics of speech. In 1870, Bell immigrated with his family to Canada, and the following year
he moved to the United States to teach. There he pioneered a system called visible speech,
developed by his father, to teach deaf-mute children. In 1872 Bell founded a school in Boston to
train teachers of the deaf. The school subsequently became part of Boston University, where Bell
was appointed professor of vocal physiology in 1873. He became a naturalized U.S. citizen in
1882.
Bell had long been fascinated by the idea of transmitting speech, and by 1875 had come up
with a simple receiver that could turn electricity into sound. Others were working along the same
lines, including an Italian-American Antonio Meucci, and debate continues as to who should be
credited with inventing the telephone. However, Bell was granted a patent for the telephone on
7 March 1876 and it developed quickly. Within a year the first telephone exchange was built in
Connecticut and the Bell Telephone Company was created in 1877, with Bell the owner of a third
of the shares, quickly making him a wealthy man.
In 1880, Bell was awarded the French Volta Prize for his invention and with the money,
founded the Volta Laboratory in Washington, where he continued experiments in
communication, in medical research, and in techniques for teaching speech to the deaf, working
with Helen Keller among others. In 1885 he acquired land in Nova Scotia and established a
summer home there where he continued experiments, particularly in the field of aviation.
In 1888, Bell was one of the founding members of the National Geographic Society, and
served as its president from 1896 to 1904, also helping to establish its journal.
Bell died on 2 August 1922 at his home in Nova Scotia.

After several years had passed, the baby grew up and was a young and beautiful lady
in the town. Everyone knew her because she was graceful and beautiful. Hearing about
her reputation, there were so many gentlemen who proposed marriage to her that the old

for her departure had come. The moon beams arrived to transport her back to the moon.
