Few month ago..on the end weeks of it precisely...I went to a mountain called Tangkuban Perahu. It quite nearly to Bandung, where I lived. I went there with my friends. It was just four of us. It's one of tourism place of Bandung. I've never been there althought I already lived in Bandung bout 6 years. What a shame..well whatever!at least finally, I got there :)
Well there's a legend story behind the name of this mountain, Tangkuban Perahu. It tells about a boy that fall in love with the everlasting beauty of her mom and dont believe the fact that she's his mom. One day, he asked to marry her. The mother surely know that it's impossible *and dont want too*, so she make some excuses. She will accepted the propose, as long as he grants what she wish. She wants a big..no..no..a very huge ship that made by himself before the sunrise. She thought that her son will refuse it, but not..arogantly, he deal with it. He did that very good and make the mother worried. and it about close to be done and sunrise ready to appear, the mother prevents it to be happened. she tooks a stick that used to be a traditional tools for processing paddy to be rice *in west java* and the chicken make a noise. The son heard that and feel so angry..because he thinks he failed. When he goes angry, the ship is rolling back, and becomes a mountain. that's why it called Tangkuban Perahu, Tangkuban means roll back. and perahu is ship.
