MY HOMETOWN

Hello friends I want to tell you about my hometown. My hometown is Banjarbaru, South Borneo. It takes about 45 minute to trip from Banjarmasin to Banjarbaru. It is different with Banjarmasin as a central city of South Borneo. Banjarbaru is a small city, but it is beautiful I think.

Banjarbaru is very green and fresh too. You could find many trees around your home if you live there. You can hear many sounds of birds every morning. This city is still in development process. There are not too many people like in Jakarta, Surabaya, Yogyakarta, or other big cities in Indonesia. But many transmigrants are come to Banjarbaru every year from Java. So, with that continous process, it is not impossible that one day this small city will be a big city.

Banjarbaru is planned to be central city of South Borneo. The plan is still process now. Most visited places of interest in Banjarbaru is diamond mine. In place of the diamond mining, a lot of people who still use traditional tools to mine. Although still using traditional tools to mine, but there are some people ever get a very large diamond stone.

I don’t know very much about traditional food. But something I know like Soto Banjar as traditional food. Then, about the weather in Banjarbaru, because its location is near with passed by equator line and many forest are there, the weather is not really affected by moonson wind. Maybe you will find that the day is rainy although in dry season, or the opposite of it.
