Conversation between Tour Guide and Tourist at TMII

I am a tour guide at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII) or  Beautiful Indonesia Miniature Park. Louis and Harry are tourists from Sydney, Australia. TMII is spacious place, so they asked me to accompany them to go to some interesting places in TMII.

Meta     : Hi.. good morning. Welcome to Indonesia and welcome to Beautiful Indonesia Miniature Park or TMII. I am Meta. I am your tour guide. I am going to accompany you to get around in TMII.

Louis      : Hi Miss. I am Louis. Nice to meet you

Harry     : I am Harry. This is the first time we go to TMII, we need your help to go around in here.

Meta      : Hi,,. Nice to meet you too. Oke, that has become my duty. Are you ready to go around in TMII?

Louis & Harry : Yes, I am ready.

Meta      : Oke. Lets start our tour. Please don't be hesitate to ask me if  you wanna ask anything that isn't clear.

We walked to go our first destination. It is venues of Indonesian provinces.

Meta     : Okay. Firstly, we will go to venues of Indonesian provinces. Beautiful Indonesia Miniature Park or TMII built in 1972 and inaugurated on 20 April 1975. The idea of presenting Indonesia in a small scale was conceived by former Indonesian first ladySiti Hartinah, better known as Tien Suharto. TMII is a summary of the Indonesian culture, which includes various aspects of daily life of the people of Indonesia's 33 provinces that are displayed in the pavilion area.

Louis      : Great! It means we don’t need to visit every city in Indonesia. In TMII, we has had a description about Indonesian culture.

Meta     : You are right, Louis. In TMII is also available miniature of the National Monument in Jakarta, Borobudur temple in Yogyakarta, museums and places of worship.  Besides that, in TMII you can get recreation facilities, such as aeromovel train that move with wind power, 4D theater , SnowBay waterpark swimming pool, Keong Emas (Golden Snail) Imax Theater and so on.

In venues of Indonesian provinces, they took many photos. All of traditional houses that Louis and Harry had visited. It made them so tired. However, they were looked very interested in custom home building and culture of Indonesia.

Meta     : Louis, Harry, we have visited all of the traditional houses of Indonesia's provinces. Are you still  able to proceed to the next our destination? or you will take a break for lunch?

Harry     : I think we will take a break first, because i feel tired enough.

Suddenly, Louis diverted our conversation. Apparently, he was curious about a building that the location was not far from where we stopped.

Louis   : Harry, look! What is that? It is like Sydney Opera House, isn’t it? (while appointing toward   Keong Mas Imax theater)





Harry     : It is so different, Louis. The building looks like a snail body.

Meta     : Yes Louis. The building looks like Syney Opera House. It is Keong Mas (Golden Snail) Imax Theater. Indonesian people call it ‘Keong Mas theater’, because the shape looks like a golden snail body. At Keong Mas theater, we can watch a movie.

Harry     : What do you mean it is like a cinema? That’s cool! Lets go there now! I will watch THOR movie.

Meta     : No Harry, Some films that are showed about the story of Indonesian culture, such The Beauty of Indonesia I, The Beauty of Indonesia II (Indonesia's Children), The Beauty of Indonesia III (String Manikam of Indonesia on the Equator), and The Beauty of Indonesia IV (I'm Proud to Be Indonesian). Only a few foreign movies are aired and they are old movies, for example Harry Potter and Final Destination. Golden Snail Imax theater is different from other cinema commonly.

Louis        : Hmm, I see. It means only some of import movies and Indonesian culture movie,  isn’t it?

Meta        : That’s right. However, the Keong Mas Imax Theater is able to upgrade a system and show IMAX DMR film ( Digital Re - Mastering ) at the same time. IMAX DMR is the revolutionary technology that allows the transfer of an action movie in the format of 35 mm to 70 mm IMAX EXPERIENCE.

Harry       : Wow, great. If the Keong Mas theater shows the newest movie, I can imagine how a wonderful that.

Louis        : Never mind. Lets go to try it, Harry. It doesn’t matter if we watch Indonesian culture film. I am curious.

Harry       : Okay Louis. I think it will be exciting. Ms Meta, lets go there now. We are still able to continue the next our destination.

Meta        : Hehe, okay. It is 10.45 am. The second round of the movie will begin at 11 am. To get rid of your curiosity, we will watch the movie first.

Louis        : Yeah, that’s good. Lets go!

We walked to go to Keong Mas theater. As a tour guide, along the way to the theater, I explained a little history of Keong Emas Imax Theater.

Meta    : Keong Emas Imax Theater was established on the initiative of Tien Soeharto, and began operation on April 20, 1984. It is intended as a recreation facility that educates to introduce the natural and cultural wealth of the nation through a movie (audio-visual) giant screen that use sophisticated technology Projector IMAX cinematography modem by turning the movie "The Beauty of Indonesia".

Harry   : Wow, I think it will be exciting.

We arrived at the theater and bought two tickets.

Meta   : Louis, Harry, sorry i can’t join with you to watch the movie. I am going to pray. When you finished watching the movie, you can go to lunch. There are some cafes around here. This is my phone number. You can contact me if you are ready to continue our next destinations.

Louis   : Okay. I will contact you later. We still need your help to visit some places in here.

Several hours later, Harry called me. I came back  to accompany them again. We went to the museums, technological centre, religious buildings, saw the miniature of Indonesian archipelago on central lake and the miniature of Borobudur.

Meta     : Okay. We finished to visit some places in TMII. I hope you were happy and satisfied.  
               Although I knew, you feel very tired exactly.

Louis     : Yes Miss. I feel so tired, but I am glad.

Harry    : I am glad too, Louis. It will be valuable experience for me. Thanks for your help, Ms Meta.

Meta     You are welcome. I am happy to be your tour guide. Save my phone number, please. You can call me if one day you miss Indonesia and  TMII exactly. I will be ready to accompany you again.

Louis    : Hmm, of course.

Meta    : Okay, see you. Enjoy your holiday in Indonesia!

Harry   : Thank you Miss. See you
