This place is AWESOME! I would live here forever. The waters are so clear, the people are friendly, and it’s way prettier (and cleaner) than Bali. I am definitely coming back… Because 3 days is not enough to explore the place. Some tour guide I met at the beach says I should teach English and computer at the international school. If the offer ever seriously comes, I am TAKING IT!

Twice during the winter and once during summer. It’s cool but not too cold, sunny but never hot. Always ended up with good memories (always go there with good friends). Love the UN/ICRC. Still want to go back! I’m permanently attached. Enough said.

There isn’t much to say about this place except that I spent the best days of my life here. It’s so wonderful I can’t even put it into words…

When I was little and still living there. I used to get so excited when the time came…

I live here. It’s terrible. Polluted, congested (I don’t know any other place where the traffic gets this bad), dirty, high crime rate. Apart from that although the locals can be very friendly/tolerant with FOREIGNERS, if you’re a local girl who wont conform and act 100% Indonesian, you’re bound to be bullied. Some people get snarky comments/verbal abuse offline for what they blog online (about pretty innocent topics). It’s dangerous too. If you intend to visit, PLEASE, I recommend reading this: http://www.acicis.murdoch.edu.au/hi/sexharrass1.html & http://www.acicis.murdoch.edu.au/hi/sexharass2.html to avoid being sexually harassed by the men. I don’t want you to get hurt around here!
