SAMBAS

        I live in small village called Tanjung Putat which located about 27 km from Sambas. Condition in my village was very well. However, the density of people was increase every year and Sambas start to be a crowded city. You can see that in the center of Sambas. There are 3 ethnic who live in Sambas. They are Dayak, Sambas Malay and cines. My place use Malay language. That because almost of the people who live in Sambas was Malay ethnic. 

           There are so many beautiful spots in the Sambas. There is Sebedang Lake which located near with my village. I usually went to the lake to fishing and swimming with my friend. Sebedang Lake has beautiful scenery. You can see a many hill and if you interested to doing hiking sports, there is a good place. The water is really fresh. I usually went to the lake once a week. If you interested with this spot you can reach this place with ride a car or motorcycle. Another interesting spots that you can find in Sambas is Keraton Sambas. In this place, you can find the history about kingdom of Sambas. I usually went to this place with my family when holiday. In this palace you can find 3 old canons and one mosque which had important history. If you want to know about history of Sambas, you must visit this place. This place is about in the center of Sambas city. Sambas still have so many beautiful and interesting spots, there are Tanjung Batu, Pantai Jawai, and the other place which have a unique history.

            The other interesting things you can find in my place are the traditional event that usually celebrate.  You can see a traditional event like race of small boat in Sambas River and Radat dance, etc. Radat dance is usually performed in a wedding party or other cultural ceremonies. 

          

           Sambas have a unique food that you can’t find it in other place. Sambas people called this food "Bubur Pedas". This all I can tell you about my hometown. I hope you were interested to go to my hometown.
