          Gardenia plants are popular for the strong sweet scent of their flowers. Gardenia is the national flower in Pakistan. In Japan and China, the flower is called Kuchinashi (Japanese) and Zhi zi (Chinese).
          Gardenia plants are evergreen shrubs. Their small trees can grow to 1-5 meters tall. The leaves are 5-10 centimeters long and 3-25 centimeters broad, dark green and glossy with leathery texture. The flowers are in small groups, white, or pale yellow, with 5-12 lobes (petals) from 5-12 centimeters diameter. They usually bloom in mid-spring to mid-summer. Many species have strong aroma.
          To cultivate gardenia as a house plant is not easy. This species can be difficult to grow beacuse it orginated in warm humid tropical areas. It demands high humidity and bright (not direct) light to thrive. It flourishes in acidic soil with good drainage and thrives on 20⁰-23⁰ C during the day and 15⁰-16⁰ in the evening. Fotting soils developed specifically for gardenias are available. It grows no larger than 18 inches in height and width when grown indoor. In climates where it can be growns outdoors, it can reach the height of 6 feet. If water hits the flowers, they will turn brown.

The Legend of Toba Lake
          There was a handsome man named Batara Guru Sahala, who enjoyed fishing so much. One day he caught a fish. He was surprised to find out that the fish could talk. The fish begged him to set it free.
          Batara Guru Sahala could not bear it. He made the fish free. As soon as it was free, the fish changed into a very beautiful woman. Batara Guru Sahala fell in love with that fish-woman and wanted to marry her. Batara Guru Sahala promised to keep the secret that she had been a fish and would never tell anybody about it.
          They were married happily. They had two daughters. One day Batara guru Sahala got very angry with his daughters. He could not control his temper. He shouted angrily and got the word of fish to his daughters. The daughters were crying. They found their mother and told her about it.
          The mother was very angry. Batara Guru Sahala broke his promise. The mother was shouting angrily, then the earth began to shake. Volcanoes started to erupt. The earth formed a very big hole. People believed that the big hole became a lake. Today the lake is known as Toba Lake.

Which train travels the earliest from Semarang?

In ancient times, the king placed a boulder on a roadway. Then, he hid and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it.

                Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything to get the big stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After lots of pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying on the road where the boulder had been.

                The purse contained a lot of gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many other never understand.
