Loa Kulu, My 2nd Hometown

Loa Kulu is one of Kutai Kartanegara's subdistrict. It's in East Borneo (Kalimantan, Indonesia). I've been live there for about 10 years before I moved to Balikpapan in 2011. Loa Kulu is a large subdistrict. But I think it's not a big round area, just a costal area of Mahakam river. And I used to live in Loa Kulu Kota when I was there. Loa Kulu Kota is one of villages in Loa Kulu. You could see the complete areas in Wikipedia Loa Kulu. 

By the way, this year my family deciding to return home (last year we were in Tanjung Tabalong celebrated the Idul Fitri, my first hometown), but this year we'r gonna go to Loa Kulu. So, as long as one week I'm gonna explore this place, my second hometown though. Maybe not too much to rove but I think I'm gonna share awesome spots and places in Loa Kulu especially Loa Kulu Kota, Loh Sumber, Ponoragan, Rempanga and also Tenggarong. Tenggarong is capital city of Kutai Kartanegara which is popular with its Museum and Pulau Kumala (Kumala Island and also its bridge that connect Tenggarong and Tenggarong Seberang, which is collapsed in 2011.

I'm growing up in those both places, Loa Kulu and Tenggarong. So, in next post I will share some photos and my happiness in Loa Kulu.

I used to live in Jembayan (Loa Kulu, East Kalimantan) before I moved here to Balikpapan. It's been almost 4 years I'm living here. And I've been living 10 years more in Loa Kulu. My family often moving to outside city or island. I ever lived in Medan, Banjarbaru, Balikpapan while I was born in my hometown Tanjung Tabalong, South Kalimantan. And now I live in Balikpapan again.

In Loa Kulu, I moved so often. It's about 7 times moving home and the latest time was moving to Jembayan, it's still region of Loa Kulu subdistrict. I think, live in Balikpapan is good choice. Eventho I have to go as long as 3 hours if I miss my family in Loa Kulu. Balikpapan-Loakulu is about 3 hours
trip by bus or car. It's necessary too if you wanna ride a motorbike.

This evening I found some pictures that taken by my mom with our old camera, Canon SX210IS. I'm regret now, I've been so often moving home but I never immortalize a picture and always deleting when my harddisk was full. FYI, Loakulu is rich by its rice field, agricultural field, healthy land but nowadays in some places like near to the coal companies environment, it's been poluted by dirty air and damage nature also healthy environment. It's so sad. But however.. you can still get the fresh air and comfortable live place there.

I will visit there again one day to take some awesome pics.
