Fishing at Seribu Island
Last month, I left Jakarta for Seribu Island. I went there with some members of Jakarta fishing club, who organized the monthly fishing activity. Getting there was not quite easy. It needed two hours by
speed boat in a bit rough wave. Soon, after our arrival at Seribu Island, we got a general briefing. The chief of the fishing club gave
some information about the fishing code. It included an explanation how to release out the hook from the fish mouth safely.
Then we began our fishing. We set out to sea early in the morning. Around 4 kilometers from the beach, we started to fish. Apparently, no one caught any big fish. We caught mostly small yellowtail fish.
After fishing for nearly four hours, I only got five fish; three yellow fish, one salmon and one little Merlin. It was not bad at all.
In Summary, the trip was mostly enjoyable. Fishing is absolutely an interesting activity.

Instructions
1 Examine the area of the vacuum where it deposits dirt. In older vacuums, this is a bag. In new ones it is often a removable and reusable canister. If the bag is full, you need to change it; if it is a reusable
container it should be emptied as often as possible. If the deposit area is full, the vacuum wont be able to pick up dirt effectively.
2 Check the vacuums height. Most vacuums have an adjustable indicator for carpets of various lengths. If your vacuum has one, make sure it is set to the appropriate length for your carpet. If it is
set too high it wont have enough suction and if it is set to low it wont have enough airflow. 3 Move all of the smaller items out of the vacuums way. Even if you dont plan to move the furniture
when you vacuum, such as ottomans and coffee tables, you can remove the smaller items easily. 4 Turn the vacuum on and push the vacuum forward and backwards over your carpet, in slow, even
strokes. If you move the vacuum too quickly it wont pick up dirt as well. 5 Use the vacuums attachments such as the simple hose with exchangeable ends, to clean corners
and under the edges of furniture. Most vacuums have a series of attachments for these sorts of jobs. It is a good idea to do this extra bit of cleaning so the normal airflow of your room doesnt push
unwanted dirt into your newly cleaned areas.
