Indonesia

spent a weekend here last year with my best friends and had an awesome time! we only got to explore Jakarta and Bandung though. would love to explore more of this country soon :)

I loved living in this country for 4 weeks. I enjoyed the warm climate and the people that I met along the way. I personally enjoy learning about many cultures especially those different than my own.

Nice country, unspoiled by consumer society. You can see wonderfull countryside, pure sea, superior food… and everything for small prices.
I recommend backbacking travelling. Use local buses (no turists ones), local restaurants etc. If you do this you can spent minutes and hours by chatting with locals. You wil find out social differences between their culture and “civilized world” culture.

I recommend!!!

Warm (if you know what i mean). everythings cheap

I would like to go to Bali (stay in Ubud) and….
- Do a jewelry class @ Studio Perak
- Do some yoga @ Bali Spirit Yoga Studio/Barn
- Have a massage @ Verona Spa
- And a scrub @ Beji Ayu Spa
- And perhaps a second massage or scrub @ Zen Bali Spa
- Visit the Monkey Forest
- And the rice fields (link includes the story of a trek to the top of a mountain)
- Cycle through rice paddies
- Do a PADI diving course @ Bali Scuba (certification in 4 days, off the coast nr Denpasar.
- Rent a moped to get from Ubud to Sanur? Nah, too dangerous and not enough free time in the day to actually enjoy the moped.

Then go to the west coast (supposedly better waves) and do a surf camp / surfari…

See this long long long list of things to do in Bali

Indonesia has a very various cultures (around 300 ethnic groups) and abundant natural resources. It comprises of more than 17,000 islands to make it the largest archipelagic state in the world. Its population as of 2007 is more than 234 million.

The five largest islands are Java (the world’s most populous island), Sumatera, Kalimantan (Borneo), Sulawesi (Celebes) and Papua.

Puncak Jaya in Papua is Indonesia’s highest peak, at 5,030 meters. Lake Toba in North Sumatra is its largest lake, with an area of 1,145 square kilometers. Indonesia has at least 150 active volcanoes, including Krakatau.

The most popular tourist destination in Indonesia nowadays is Bali. Komodo dragon, a large lizard native to Indonesia, and Borobudur, a very huge ninth century Budhist temple, are only few of many other tourist attractions in this country.

I’m originally from Bandung, the fourth biggest city in the country. Its elevation is 768 metres above sea level. Geological data shows that the Bandung Basin is located on an ancient volcano, known as Mount Sunda.

The official language is Indonesian, which is adopted from Malay long time ago. Every ethnic group usually has at least one local language. Very few people speak English and Dutch.
