Beautiful models wore charming and amazing Batik Semarang creations, during Batik fashion show in Semarang. This event, the “Smaradhana Batik Semarang ing Lawang Sewu”, was held on May 2nd, 2008 during the celebration of the 461st Semarang City anniversary. For further info about this event, please visit this URL.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has asked all Indonesians to wear batik on October 2nd, 2009 to acknowledge the listing of Batik as Indonesian Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. Batik is regarded as a cultural icon with its own uniqueness. It contains symbols and a deep philosophy of the human life cycle — and it was submitted by Indonesia as a non-material element of cultural heritage. We love to wear Batik Indonesia. Batik is truly Indonesia :).

Home Town
By: Ahmed on September 18th, 2009.
Welcome to our home town.
It’s time to “Mudik” to Semarang City.
Mudik literally means going home or a return.
One of the celebrations of Lebaran is Mudik. In order to reunite with parents and families, millions of migrants from big cities like Jakarta make long journey to return to their home town by train or the other transportation.
