Björn Rune Borg was born on June 6, 1956, in Stockholm, Sweden, to parents Rune and Margarethe. Initially a
hockey fan, Borg wasn't fond of tennis. At age 9 when his father brought home a tennis racket he had won as a prize in a
ping-pong tournament.
Borg caught the attention of tennis coach Percy Rosberg and began making regular three-hour round-trip train rides
to meet with the instructor. He won his first tournament at age 11, and at 13 he won both the 13-and 14-year-old divisions
of the Sweden National Junior Championships. His career on the upswing, he dropped out of school to devote himself to
training full time.
Borg qualified for the Swedish Davis Cup team at age 15 and won both of his singles matches. After becoming the
1972 Wimbledon junior champion and winning events in Berlin, Barcelona and Miami, he chose to be a professional
tennis player.
Borg first rose to prominence at Wimbledon in 1973, when adoring female fans lined up to get a glimpse of the
handsome, mysterious Swede. His long blond hair tucked beneath a headband, Borg featured a distinct playing style with
his two-handed backhand and topspin-heavy ground strokes. He won his first tournament just days before his 18 th
birthday, and two weeks later he became the youngest winner of the French Open

Once upon a time, there was a little poor boy came into a little village. He was very hungry and week. He knocked
at every door and asked for some food, but nobody cared about him. Nobody wanted to help him.
Finally, a generous woman helped him. She gave him shelter and meal. When the boy wanted to leave, this old
woman gave him a “lesung”, a big wooden mortar for pounding rice. She reminded him, “Please remember, if there is
flood, you must save yourself. Use this “lesung” as a boat”. The boy was very happy and thanked to the old woman. The
little boy continued his journey. While he was passing through the village, he saw many people gathering on the field.
The boy came closer and saw a stick stuck in the ground. People challenged each other to pull out that stick. Everybody
tried, but nobody succeeded. “Can I try?” asked the little boy. The crowd laughed mockingly. The boy wanted to try his
luck so he stepped forward and pulled out the stick. He could do it very easily. Everybody was dumbfounded.
Suddenly, from the hole left by stick, water spouted out. It did not stop until it flooded the village. And no one was
saved from the water except the little boy and the generous old woman who gave him shelter and meal. As she told him,
he used the “lesung” as a boat and picked up the old woman. The whole village became a huge lake. It is now known as
RawaPening Lake in Salatiga, Central Java, Indonesia.

The glorious Idul Fitri day may be over but the holiday atmosphere is still high in the air. As an addition to the
annual mudik custom, many people use his national holiday as an opportunity to explore some unfamiliar places and
embark on a family holiday.
Approaching the end of the Muslim festive season, travel search site, Wego, has recently revealed insights into
Indonesian travel trends for this year’s Idul Fitri. Wego Indonesia managing director Graham Hills said that Indonesians
searched for domestic trips is greater in numbers this year.
“Domestic travel trends more than tripled this year. Yogyakarta took over from last year’s top destination of
Bandung for hotel searches, and the city features as one of the most notable movers this year, increasing 78 percent
over 2014,” Hills explained.
He also said that even though Bali featured as the number one domestic destination for the past two years, this
year the island only occupied the fourth position with flight searches to Yogyakarta escalating by 342 percent.
Regarding accommodation options, Indonesians tended to seek higher ranked properties, while taking
advantage of cheaper airfares. In 2014, more than half of Wego’s Indonesian users sought three-star accommodation
listings, but surprisingly this year we’ve seen a shift toward higher rated hotels. Domestic airfare searches rallied in mid-
June, and while average hotel rates seemed to trend a little higher closer to Idul Fitri, the overall average price of
airfares were around ten percent lower this year,” Hills continued.
