Jember is a beautiful place. In December, there are a lot of interesting places to visit, such as Papuma Beach, Watu Ulo Beach, Watu Ondo, Pancer Beach, Kembangan, and so on. Jember also has a famous carnival, named Jember Fashion Carnaval. It is an international annual fashion carnival which is usually held in August. Besides some beautiful places and a famous carnival, Jember also has a unique culture. People usually called it Pendhalungan. Pendhalungan is an acculturation culture between Javanese and Madurese. Jember has a total area of ​​3,293.34 km2. Because of that, it creates a different culture between North Jember and South Jember. In North Jember, there are a lot of Maduranese people and they usually speak Maduranese. On the other hand, In South Jember, not many Maduranese people live there. It is dominated by Javanese people.
