GAR May 2014 00 Cover Colours Chosen.indd 1 Welcome to Colours Beijing may be an imperial capital and a global powerhouse, but in this edition of Colours we uncover the real Beijing: an unpretentious city of back alleys, charming discoveries and disarmingly friendly people. Over in Europe, the Netherlands is replete with cutting-edge yet practical design, and in Amsterdam’s hot design shops you can take a piece of it home. Back home in Indonesia, in south Sumatra we delve into the wild of Lampung’s Way Kambas National Park, a crucial bastion for the critically endangered Sumatran tiger, rhinoceros and elephant. If surfing is more your thing, you’ll find one of the world’s most iconic breaks on Pulau Nias, which offers plenty for adventurers too, with ancient megalithic monuments, traditional architecture and a resilient, unique culture. Selamat Datang di Colours Beijing dikenal sebagi kota kerajaan dan kota adidaya, namun dalam edisi ini Colours mencoba menyibak sisi lain Beijing: sebuah kota dengan banyak jalan kecil, beragam penemuan mengesankan sert a penduduknya yang ramah. Di Eropa, Anda bisa mendapati banyak barang desain terkini nan praktis khas Belanda, dan di salah satu toko, Anda bisa membuktikannya sendiri. Di kampung halaman Indonesia, di selatan Sumatera, kami melihat lebih dekat kehidupan alam bebas di Taman Nasional Way Kambas Lampung, rumah bagi harimau Sumatera, badak dan gajah. Namun jika Anda lebih suka berselancar, maka Anda bisa menemukan ombak yang tinggi di Pulau Nias, tempat yang juga menawarkan banyak petualangan, lengkap dengan tugu batu kuno, arsitektur tradisional serta budayanya yang unik. 4/24/14 7:17 PM EDITORIAL BOARD Pujobroto, Djunadi Putra Satrio PT Mondo Media Dinamika 21st Floor Suite 2101 MNC Tower Jl.
