Planting trees has apparently become a common practice in every ceremony held in Megamendung, just like what Chief Justice Diana Bryant did. After the opening ceremony, she planted a tree in the area of the Center for Training and Education. She looked so happy since her presence in Indonesia was always perpetuated by planting trees by her own hand. (cho)
