There is a
wonderful land in the east.
A land full
of wonders that will bring you to another realm.
 |
The magical landscape with its natural beauty and bright blue sky.
|
 |
Some wanderers enthuse to explore more and more of its wonders.
  
In their wandering, they find a serene beach with three shades colors of
water. They spend their day to relax, bask and enjoy seeing fabulous creatures
underwater.
In other time, the wanderers go to nearest hills and listen to the wind
and rustling leaves. Nature speaks soft and tender, they have to close their
eyes to understand the meaning.
  
***
The land has some hidden treasures. Every wanderer must have a good will
to find it.
There is a river with hot and cold water flows from the upstream to
downstream. Its water is from two different water springs. The rich water gives
sensation to every wanderer. You may dip yourself in the river, and feel the
magic. Every time you move your body, you will feel the hot and cold water
splashing onto your body.
Another gem is hidden in the valley and located in the middle of the
mountain. If a wanderer wants to find this gem, they have to spend hours to
climb up-hills. But it will pay off, wonderful sights will mesmerize the tiring
wanderer.
***
Not only does it has enticing and beautiful nature, the land also has a rich culture.
Some wanderers are in awe when they have a chance to visit an ancient
village. The building structure and the ambiance bring them to another era. Every
traditional woven that the village has
will tell you a story. A story about deep culture, friendship, pride,
love and hope.
     
The indigenous people of this enchanted land are very charming. Their beautiful
eyes are almond-shaped, their smiles are bright. They have a genuine heart and
very humble. Give them a wave, a smile, and a greeting whenever you see them,
and you will feel at home.

There is a land in the east that has been mesmerizing many people since
long long time ago.
To keep it enchanting for hundred years to come, only simple things
needed.
Every wanderer who comes to the land needs to respect the nature, the culture,
and the people. Give it love and it loves you back.
That magnificent land is FLORES.
