Have you ever been to Bukittinggi, West Sumatera?
Yup, if somebody asks me like that, i absolutely will answer, "yes, i have ever been to Bukittinggi and seen Gadang watch or jam gadang".... heheehehe,...
Finally, i can experience myself ..... what is Jam Gadang like... and Just see these the pictures :
Unfortunately, when i saw it, the sky was cloudy but it didin't bother me at all.
according to the guide's explanation, it is said, Jam Gadang is built in 1826 and the watch itself came from the Dutch in 1926 brought through bayur bay. It is believed that the machine of this watch there are only two in the world. The other is Big Ben in england.
Then, the architect of Jam Gadang is Sutan Rajo Gigi Ameh. The Guide also told me in Bukittinggi, it is forbidden to build a building higher than Jam Gadang. So, Jam Gadang is the maximum of height for the building there.
For the number IIII, why it isn't written IV?
The guide told me at that time there were 4 (four) people who died from above of the Watch (when it was built), so to respect the people who died it is written IIII not IV. I think you need to ask another person about it.
What do you think about this "Jam Gadang? "
