Cempaka Culture and Tourism: It's a zoo as people enjoy holiday

"The Recalibration of Awareness – Apr 20/21, 2012 (Kryon channeled by Lee Carroll) (Subjects: Old Energy, Recalibration Lectures, God / Creator, Religions/Spiritual systems (Catholic Church, Priests/Nun’s, Worship, John Paul Pope, Women in the Church otherwise church will go, Current Pope won’t do it), Middle East, Jews, Governments will change (Internet, Media, Democracies, Dictators, North Korea, Nations voted at once), Integrity (Businesses, Tobacco Companies, Bankers/ Financial Institutes, Pharmaceutical company to collapse), Illuminati (Started in Greece, with Shipping, Financial markets, Stock markets, Pharmaceutical money (fund to build Africa, to develop)), Shift of Human Consciousness, (Old) Souls, Women, Masters to/already come back, Global Unity.... etc.) - (Text version)

“… The Shift in Human Nature

You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.

In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?

Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.

What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …”

It's a zoo as people enjoy holiday

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta

This year's mid-year school holidays saw the number of visitors to Ragunan Zoo in South Jakarta and to Ancol Dreamland in North Jakarta reach record levels thanks to better public transportation.

The zoo received more than 85,000 visitors on Sunday, which was 20,000 more than last year's numbers.

More than 100,000 people visited the North Jakarta's Ancol Dreamland on Sunday and about 80,000 on Saturday. Last year the number was 62,000 and 55,000 respectively.

Zoo spokesman Mardjuki said the operation of the busway system serving the route of Kuningan-Ragunan had contributed to the increasing number of visitors.

"Affordable entrance fees and easier access to public transportation definitely contributed to the higher number of visitors," Mardjuki said.

He said on weekdays during the school holidays, the number of people who visited the zoo was around 3,000 a day. Usually the zoo attracted about 2,000 people each weekday.

The 140-hectare zoo operates from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. with an admission fee of Rp 3,000 for children and Rp 4,000 for adults. It holds more than 3,000 types of animals from Indonesia and other countries.

"Ragunan is an affordable recreation place. Besides displaying many animals, it also offers lots of games," said Lia, a resident from Cengkareng, West Jakarta.

Visitors have to spend extra money to play a game or visit the primate center, one of the zoo's main attractions.

The huge number of visitors was an advantage for the traders there.

"Last weekend, our turnover was about Rp 5 million. But if it's not the holiday season, we sometimes only earn around Rp 10,000," said a hotdog seller.

According to Mardjuki, on Saturday and Sunday the zoo earned about Rp 415 million.

Last weekend saw a huge increase in vehicles entering the zoo grounds too, although most were motorcycles, Mardjuki said.

"We allowed cars and motorcycles to park in the zoo's yard because part of the zoo's parking lot has become the busway's lane."

Ancol Dreamland also benefited from the operation of the new busway route, said head of communication for the funpark Sofia Cakti.

"Besides, we also have a brand new game in the Dufan," she said.

"It's called Tornado and is an adrenaline-pumping roller coaster."

Of the 106,268 people who visited Deamland on Sunday, 25 percent visited the Dufan area, she said.

"During the holiday, we are open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. with an entrance fee of Rp 90,000," Sofia said

Usually it is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. with a Rp 70,000 entrance fee.

Dufan, short of Dunia Fantasi (fantasy land), is a 9.5-hectare theme park where visitors can enjoy various kinds of adrenaline-soaked thrill rides, from roller coasters to gentler rides including merry-go-rounds.
