Fascinating East Java



East Java is a province in eastern of Java Island. East Java has many things to be proud of. One of them is the tribes. There are many traditional tribes who live in East Java. Those tribes are Tengger, Madura, Java, and so on. Tengger people who live around Bromo Mountain have annual traditional ceremony called Kasada. It is held in order to show their grateful to their God for their successful harvest. They bring some of their crops such as rice plant, banana, cassava, and so on to the Bromo’s crater. This is an interesting ceremony. Besides the ceremony itself, we can enjoy the magnificent scenery of Mount Bromo, especially in sunrise. Red, orange, and yellow colors are perfectly mixed into wonderful color. Its beauty has been famous in the world.

Madura people who mostly live in Madura Island, has an interesting traditional bull race. It is called “Karapan Sapi”. Karapan Sapi involves one man who rides two bulls in both of his side. The race is held in a wide area. The fastest team is the winner. Besides Karapan Sapi, Madura people also have their famous Batik Madura. Batik is a cloth with unique motif made by hand. Batik Madura is attractive in color such as light red or yellow. Many tourists buy Batik Madura as souvenirs.


Talking about East Java has no ends. There are still many traditional tribes with their unique customs and cultures. Its beaches and mountains are too beautiful to be ignored and its traditional foods are just too delicious to be unnoticed. Only one word I can say about East Java: FASCINATING!

  6. Good afternoon damasti

    Your paragraph is good, the Topis sentence and suporting sentence have been connected

    but, it will be better if explanation about tengger is not include with paragraph of general explanation in the begining.
    Perhaps, you can take it in new paragraph.

    I think enough..thank..
    Please comment me back
