Fall Internship

One week ago, my class went to Majapahit Agro Lestari Hotel, Mojokerto. We had some internship about plant's taxonomy there. We collected morphology and property data from every plants and looking for some type of plants that would be needed for our next practicum. I had talk a bit about Majapahit Agro Lestari (MAL) on my last post "Journey to Cangar". On that post I have little discussed about this place and take some photo of me (who cares, no one want to know about it, haha).

MAL is a natural hotel which located on Mojokerto highland. Thousands of plant species, Cold and cool air, hum of the insects, the smell of the forest litter, acres of pinery, ledge type of waterfall, bla bla bla~ such a beautiful sight and wonderful thing~ You couldn't find any single thing above in Surabaya. MAL use concept of artificial forest inside, and natural forest outside the building. Like another hotel, it must be have various facility such as swimming pool, gym, outbound, rafting, family gathering spot, etc. For the rooms, they use concept of natural village house in deep country, so there was many of ‘true’ farmer who had worked around the hotel, just like the real deep country.

I have many activities there, made a monograph, plants identification, calculated the population density, had a lunch, studied about TOGA plants, took some photos, etc. Actually, depend on the schedule, actually we back to Surabaya at 18.00. The fact we back to surabaya on the evening (around 16.00). For some reason, We had to come back early. But I feel so happy, that was a different experience for me to study at the ‘real place’  for the scientist, especially for biologist. (since it was my first internship). 

How about yours? Did you have any internship yet, fellas?
