Pangandaran and the Green (Emerald) Canyon

Borobodur
... to a really expensive club with the owner of our hostel. A vodka and red bull was Rp 75,000 (5 pounds) which is a fortune by Indonesia standards. That's 5% of the average monthly income and more than we pay for en suite room. Me and Amy are flying to ...

A little holiday by the sea!

Batu Karas times
... , Zala go! Yeah, I am not even questioning it now ;) Batu Karas is a small chilled village in West Java around 30kms from Pangandaran. If you look on the map, find Yogya first and then follow the coast West. The nearest town is called Cijulang and that's ...

Ausspannen am Tsunami-Strand

What really matters - how to find yourself ;)
BEWARE: this is one of those self-reflecting entries, therefore if you don't wish to read all the existentialistic crap that's probably going to burst out of me, I suggest you skip this chapter. Or take it as a challenge to read. A little about ...
