You can easily be accused of committing a tourism sin if you’re in Semarang and failed to visit the Ambarawa Railway Museum.
This museum is situated less than an hour’s drive from the capital of Central Java. During the Dutch colonial days, Ambarawa was a military zone and the railway station was used to transport troops to Semarang through Kedungjati. It is at 474m above sea level, giving you unpolluted fresh air to breathe.
The Ambarawa Railway Museum is well-maintained. It is a medium-sized building. The railway route is offered to visitors. You can enjoy the beautiful panorama during the route. All in all, this is a truly exciting treasure to visit.

Iceland is a very unique island—in fact, it’s like nowhere else on earth. The interior of this island contains incredible contrasts. It has tundras, huge glaciers, volcanoes, and waterfalls. Swimsuit maker ‘Speedo’ sells a very large number of bathing suits in Iceland. The island’s climate is cool, but most people don’t pay money for heat.
Energy is very cheap and it doesn’t cause pollution, because they use geothermal heat from under the ground. They use water from volcanoes, hot springs and geysers. Icelanders eat fresh fruit and vegetables all year, but they rarely buy them from other countries. Icelanders like to play golf all night during the summer.
