Raja Ampat

Raja Ampat, or the Four Kings, is an archipelago located off
the northwest tip of Bird's Head Peninsula on the island of New Guinea, in
Indonesia's Southwest Papua province. It comprises over 1,500 small islands,
cays, and shoals surrounding the four main islands of Misool, Salawati,
Batanta, and Waigeo, and the smaller island of Kofiau.



The Raja Ampat archipelago straddles the Equator and forms
part of Coral Triangle which contains the richest marine biodiversity on earth.



Administratively, the archipelago is part of the province of
Southwest Papua. Most of the islands constitute the Raja Ampat Regency, which
was separated out from Sorong Regency in 2004. The regency encompasses around
70,000 square kilometres (27,000 sq mi) of land and sea, of which 8,034.44 km2
constitutes the land area and has a population of 64,141 at the 2020 Census.
This excludes the southern half of Salawati Island, which is not part of this
regency but instead constitutes the Salawati Selatan and Salawati Tengah
Districts of Sorong Regency.

Rendang

Rendang (/ˈrənd ɑ ːŋ/ REN-DUNG; Indonesian pronunciation: [rənˈdaŋ]) is a Minang dish originating from the Minangkabau region in West Sumatra, Indonesia.

Rendang is often described as a rich dish of meat — most commonly beef (rendang daging) — that has been slow cooked and braised in a coconut milk seasoned with a herb and spice mixture, until the liquids evaporate and the meat turns dark brown and tender, becoming caramelized and infused with rich flavours. As the signature dish of Minangkabau culture, rendang is traditionally served at ceremonial occasions to honour guests during festive events; such as wedding feasts and Lebaran or Hari Raya (Indonesian popular words for both Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha). Rendang is also traditionally served among the Malay community in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei, as well as the Mar...

Volleyball

 Do you know what is Volleyball ? Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net. Each team tries to score points by grounding a ball on the other team's court under organized rules. It has been a part of the official program of the Summer Olympic Games since Tokyo 1964. Beach volleyball was introduced to the programme at the Atlanta 1996 Summer Olympics. The adapted version of volleyball at the Summer Paralympic Games is sitting volleyball. The complete set of rules is extensive, but play essentially proceeds as follows: a player on one of the teams begins a 'rally' by serving the ball (tossing or releasing it and then hitting it with a hand or arm), from behind the back boundary line of the court, over the net, and into the receiving team's court. The receiving team must not let the ball be grounded within their court. The team may touch the ball up to three times to return the ball to the other side of the court, but individual pl...
