Dahulu diseluruh kampung dan pelosok Nagari Silungkang selalu terdengar suara detak-detak orang bertenun dan kini suara itu tidak lagi membahana.
Karena itu buku ini mampu menggugah kembali anak Nagari Silungkang yang pernah berjaya dengan Tenun Tradisional Songket Silungkang. Buku ini mencoba :
-
Merekam kembali kemampuan orang dahulu dalam mengerjakan Tenun Songket.
-
Membangun dan meningkatkan perhatian generasi muda pada kegiatan ini, menjadikan nagari Silungkang yang berpotensi sebagai tempat wisata budaya.
-
Mampu merevitalisasi songket lama yang kini boleh dikatakan hampir tidak ada lagi di Silungkang.
Menjadikan Tenun Songket Tradisional Silungkang yang kaya motif dan kaya fungsi dalam kehidupan modern dewasa ini.

The 11th Hour “Concern for Life”
Leonardo DiCapro dalam film dokumenter mengajak seluruh dunia untuk mengetahui betapa bahayanya global warning.
Dampak yang paling terasa akibat global warning adalah hilangnya 20 pulau kecil di Indonesia dan pada tahun 2030, Indonesia akan kehilangan 2000 pulau. Suhu di Bandung saja sudah tidak sejuk.
Sebagai negara yang masih ada hutannya, kita harus menjaga sisa dari kehidupan bumi.
Yuk kita support si Leo, LSM lingkungan hidup dan menggugah rakyat Indonesia serta pemerintah untuk care terhadap bumi ini. Jika kita tidak peduli, tinggal dimana donk ?

Visitors will be transported to the Padang Train Station, and from here the train will take visitors to Padang Panjang. This northward journey normally takes two hours. This private charted train journey will take us meanders through the majestic heartland of the Minangkabau landscape and the vast natural forest sanctuary that still unspoiled and vigilantly supervised by the Forestry Department. One of these is the peculiar natural beauty of the air terjun Lembah Anai/the natural waterfalls of the valley of the Termites. Our first group everything native lunch will be served once we reach Padang Panjang. Our journey continues by bus to Desa Pandai Sikek, a village located at the foot of the volcano Gunung Singgalang.

Day Two June 10th. 2008 of the Tour Package
BUKITTINGGI-BATU SANGKAR
This is our first day group tour. We will spend the whole day visiting popular sites of tourist attraction around Greater Batu Sangkar, a beautiful city of the Kabupaten/District Tanah Datar and it is only an hour drive and eastward from Bukittinggi. Our tour starts by stop, first at the Tabek Patah Kaki Gunung Merapi, one of the best places to view the scenic Grand Canyon of Indonesia with the majestic volcano Gunung Merapi in full view. Our group lunch is served at the Hotel Restaurant Pondok Flora, Batu Sangkar. This restaurant is selected due to its strategic location of having scenic panorama the surrounding rice (padi) fields. Our group evening events will spend at another three centers of attraction: the Istana Silinduang Bulan/Royal Palace of the State of Pagaruyung, the Batu Bersurat/the Written Stone (written in Sanskrit and lastly the majestic Danau Singkarak/Singkarak.

Dinner is served while we are being entertained: watching one particular contemporary Minang folksong musical program called KIM PANTUN.
Day Three June 11th 2008 of the Tour Package
BUKITTINGGI-LEMBAH HARAU
Today, it is our group’s “royal” tour. We are transported northeastern to Payakumbuh, literally means swamp of kumbuh or grassy swamp. We spend the whole morning till 3.00 PM, visiting the Rumah Godang/the traditional Minang Grand House, situated at the Sungai Baringin/River Baringin. Once in the yard of Rumah Godang we are welcomed with full Minang traditional welcoming dance ceremony- Tari Pasambahan/Tari Selamat Datang. This is a very decorative and elaborate traditional dance ceremony that truly replicates Minang local customs and mannerism of welcoming visitors. Perhaps, it worth to mention “get ready with your camcorder, digital and regular camera to record this event.” Our group lunch is traditionally served and it is uniquely very Minang.
There are many events that are very popular with visiting tourists at Payakumbuh: kincir air/waterwheels, kipang jagung/a uniquely local pop corn, pandai besi/craftsmanship producing lethal and no lethal weapons from smelted iron, pertunjukan Debus/magic-based martial arts performed on special stage, pacu itik/flying duck race, monyet memetik kelapa/monkeys plucking young coconuts show, pencak silat/martial art, and traditional Minang dance troupes performing live.
To complete our groups ‘royal” tour of the day, we proceed to the majestic panoramic Lembah Harau/ the Valley of Harau. Lembah Harau is in Kabupaten Lima Puluh Kota /District of Fifty Cities. Two words that fully describe the experience at Lembah Harau, a Cagar Alam or Strict Nature Reserve: very extraordinary. The ever fresh and refreshing mountain air and atmosphere, and the steeped rock terrain contours served as the decorative backdrops to waterfalls and its rainbow mists and vapors surely put us into an uplifting soothing experience of serenity and tranquility. To those mountain climbers, this Valley promises cool physical challenges.
Ending our “royal” tour of the day is to have and to enjoy a traditional dinner at our Bukittinggi hotel with live performances by traditional Minang musicians and dance troupes.
Day Four 12th 2008 of the Package Tour

The Lake is simply gorgeous and its splendor is simply breathtaking. After survives the Kelok 44 and enjoy the splendid morning at Maninjau lake, we proceed to Padang via Pariaman, a well-known seaport that serve the hinterland of Minagkabau and also known for its Tabuik festival. How about enjoying our lunch while cross-legged (baselo) at any of the Pariaman beaches facing the South Indian Ocean. You will never forget this particular impromptu. Please record this particular impromptu with your camcorder or camera!
From Pariaman, we take train to Padang-the provincional city of West Sumatra. Once reach Padang, we have to board a ferry to take us to the Pulau Sikuai, A pearl in the Indian Ocean. There is a beautiful and sophisticated island off West Sumatra, Indonesia name Sikuai. A private island which shines like a pearl with a beautiful white sand beach. Here you can find tropical weather all year long, with beautiful untouched virgin forest leading to the white sandy beaches around the island. 40 hectares in size, with 21 cottages, restaurant, conference hall, swimming pool and jogging track, this is the perfect family holiday or team building location. The nature here is simply, well, indescribable. We have to be here in order to experience it. It is the earthly heaven at the Sumatran rim of the Indian Ocean. At a reserved hotel, we are being served a traditional dinner with traditional Minang music.
