Asia Africa Conference (AAC) was a meeting of Asian and African states, most of which were newly independent, which took place on April 18–24, 1955 in Bandung, Indonesia -Wikipedia
Have you ever wondered what is AAC meaning? Have you ever wondered that if there's no AAC, the history of the world can change?
If there's no AAC, the world still have a slavery system.
If there's no AAC, the african countries may not free by now.
If there's no AAC, we will not show the world who we are!

The fieldwork test was so much more challenging! It took place on five different locations around the famous Parangtritis beach, which are Depok Beach, Depok Village, the sand dunes, a construction site on a cliff that gave us a bare look of the soil horizons, and the Coastal Geospatial Laboratory of Parangtritis.
That's awesome! Can you share us about how you learn geography?
I feel blessed and fortunate to be a student of sman 8 jakarta which took special care to olympiad students and provide us with permissions to skip class, olympiad books, rooms for studying, and im very lucky to have kind tutors who were willing to teach.
And i did a lot of reading, because geography materials are so abundant i myself never feel enough. I also did much researches on the internet about geography things, past year questions, and asking the experienced ones.After i read and understand the essential concept, i feel easy doing all kinds of geography questions, whether multiple choice, essay, or even practical and fieldwork test.
Great! Is there any messages for anyone reading this?
I'm proud to say geography is one thing people should learn comprehensively, moreover there are several global issues related to geography, like climate change, global warming, or the local issues like southeast asian free trade, demography problems, transportation and infrastructure problems and so on. Geography makes us easier to understand and overcome these issues or problems. So for the ones who are interested in geography olympiads, you should care about your environment, following latest trends and issues, besides memorizing your atlas and textbook. The source of learning geography is uncountable, you can read boring textbooks, colorful atlas, educational tv shows, morning newspapers, or watch movies. Though the material are very abundant, you can spend everyday reading little by little, so you wont be exhausted (and the memories last longer this way, i suppose). And never give up! Ask the experienced ones, learn from them, ask questions for them. Im sure they'd be glad to help, especially if you show deep curiosity and high passion.
Thanks Thalia for the interview!

Slogan
In fact, the world main resources for energy are from Non-Renewable Resources. For Example, 35,43 % of world's energy is produced from Petroleum, 28, 15 % produced from Coal, and 23,46 % produced from Natural Gas.
That means we use 87,04 % non-renewable resources for energy! Do you know how petroleum is produced? It's formed by plankton that buried in ocean million years ago. That means, we have to wait million years to make petroleum re-produced. Are you shocked? (I know you're not even shocked at all) but that's the fact we got.

Natural Phenomenon (Table Mountain)
The main feature of Table Mountain is the level plateau approximately 3 kilometres (2 mi) from side to side, edged by impressive cliffs. The plateau, flanked by Devil's peak to the east and by Lion's head to the west, forms a dramatic backdrop to Cape Town. This broad sweep of mountainous heights, together with Signal Hill, forms the natural amphitheatre of the City Bowl and Table bay harbour. The highest point on Table Mountain is towards the eastern end of the plateau and is marked by Maclear's Beacon, a stone cairn built in 1865 by Sir Thomas Maclear for trigonometrical survey. It is 1,086 metres (3,563 ft) above sea level, about 19 metres (62 ft) higher than the cable station at the western end of the plateau.
The cliffs of the main plateau are split by Platteklip Gorge ("Flat Stone Gorge"), which provides an easy and direct ascent to the summit and was the route taken by António de Saldanha on the first recorded ascent of the mountain in 1503.[3]
The flat top of the mountain is often covered by orographic clouds, formed when a south-easterly wind is directed up the mountain's slopes into colder air, where the moisture condenses to form the so-called "table cloth" of cloud. Legend attributes this phenomenon to asmoking contest between the Devil and a local pirate called Van Hunks.[4] When the table cloth is seen, it symbolizes the contest.
Table Mountain is at the northern end of a sandstone mountain range that forms the spine of the Cape Peninsula. To the south of the main plateau is a lower part of the range called the Back Table. On the Atlantic coast of the peninsula, the range is known as the Twelve Apostles. The range continues southwards to Cape Point.
