Angklung’s gamut as traditional musical instruments are salendro and pelog. Angklung is estimated to have been used since Neolitikum era. The creation of angklung related with the agrarian life of Sundanese. Initially, angklung played to lure Dewi Sri (Rice Goddess) for going down to earth and enrich people's rice crop. This tradition still can be seen in the Baduy community, which is the remnants of native Sundanese people, who use angklung as part of the ritual planting of rice. Angklung was also used as a spirit generator during the battle In 1938, Daeng Sutigna (1908-1984) changed the traditional scales angklung (salendro and pelog) to western scales (diatonic) so that angklung can be played in major orchestras.

Batik Batik is the typical clothing of  Javanese culture in Indonesia and has existed since the 12th century. Things that make batik became so amazing is the beauty of the pattern which is very unique and traditional. The process of making batik is as follows:  

1. The first wax is applied over the outline of pattern by using canting (tools that used to draw in batik process) or by stamping. Almost the original cloth is white or beige.
2. The cloth is dyed in the first dye bath and the area of the cloth where the wax was applied before will remain white.
3. The two process above can be repeated if there are more color want to be applied to the cloth.
4. After the coloring process finish,  then all the wax that has been applied thus far is removed. This is done by heating the wax and scraping it off and also by applying hot water and sponging off the remaining wax.

In the past, batik showed the social strata or the family that someone came from. Now, it is no longer valid, although still there are some motifs that are unique and special family-owned by Palace of Yogyakarta and Palace of Surakarta. Batik patterns and motifs have evolved because of interaction with outsiders, particularly in coastal areas. Currently on the island of Java there are many centers of batik with its distinctive patterns and motifs respectively. Some of them are in Yogyakarta, Surakarta, Pekalongan, Banyumas, Cirebon, Tasikmalaya, Garut, Banten, Jember, Kediri, Malang, Madura. In addition, in regions outside Java are also many centers of batik with each pattern that adds a richness of Indonesian culture, such as Bali, Aceh, Palembang, Manado, Bugis, Kutai, Banjar etc. On October 2, 2009, the UNESCO Masterpieces of batik as a set of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity Pencak Silat Pencak silat is a martial art from Indonesia and every region in Indonesia has their unique martial arts. In antiquity, the ancestor of the Indonesian created martial art by mimicking the style of animals,  to protect and defend himself and his group. Furthermore, this martial arts very much used at the time of the kingdom in the archipelago and at the time against the Dutch colonial occupation. Pencak silat prefer the dodge and parry techniques and using the power of the opponent motion. Attack techniques are also learnt, but it only used if necessary. So it was obvious that Pencak Silat is an art to defend and not to attack, though it can make a deadly attack. In improving their physical abilities, the warriors also practice by using the “inner power” of human energy. Currently, the human “inner power” is used to cure various diseases and is a kind of alternative medicine.

The materials was spewed by this explosion estimated at 800 km ³ of rocks, and 2,000 km ³ of volcanic ash. The eruption occurred during a week. Ejected volcanic ash as high as 10 miles and spread throughout the earth even recording its history is also available at the north pole. This incident caused mass death and the extinction of some species. After the eruption, the caldera formed which is then filled with water and became what is now known as Lake Toba.

The other lake is in Palau Island, Micronesia Islands in the Pacific Ocean southeast region.
