2 dias de sol e um convite de casamento
Os dias aqui tem sido bem gostosos. Estamos totalmente instalados no nosso bangalozinho, ta uma belezinha. Até temos um bichinho de estimação, um enorme gecko que aparece na parede de fora, toda, toda noite. É o Godzilla. Os dois primeiros dias de ...
Surfing with the tsunami-kids @ ground zero
Lampu Uk, dit stukje kust zo'n 17 km van Banda Aceh werd zwaar getroffen door de boxing tsunami in 2004. De 3 golven gingen hier zo'n 7 km landinwaarts en roeide 4/5de van de bevolking uit. Volledig verwoest werd het achtergelaten, enkel de moskee ...
Our Xmas pressie to ourselves...
... came from everyone at our table seeming to be involved in some type of aid work in Sumatra, mainly to do with rebuilding Banda Aceh. Having already heard stories from the side of the survivors it really completed the picture talking to these guys and was ...
Chillen op Pulau Weh
... van Allah. Wij proberen wat door te slapen, maar zijn nu klaarwakker. Bedankt, buschauffeur! Rond half 9 komen we uiteindelijk in Banda Aceh aan. De becakrijders vliegen ons weer om de oren en we laten ons weer door een van de mannetjes geld aftroggelen ...
Greetings from Pulau Weh!
... I read my flight info wrong. For some reason, the time 12:40 was stuck in my head. This was actually the time I was meant to arrive in Banda Aceh, not the departure time (12:15). The long and short of it is, I left on the 10:30am bus, which arrived at the ...
Paraíso, aê!
... pra levar pra Pulau Weh amanhã, essas coisas. Dia seguinte, fizemos um passeio para um dos museus aqui, que é sobre a cultura de Aceh. Tem objetos, vestuário, alguns mapas, explica a flora, fauna e tem uma casa típica logo ao lado. Fora nós, ...
Wei too quiet
Flew on super cheap Air Asia flight from KL to Banda Aceh for a Valentine's Day getaway. Found Aceh province to be much more developed than I expected - good roads, clean, lot of building activity but one major disappointment- though not unexpected - no ...
There's no such thing as a free meal!
I woke up bright and early at 6am to catch the first ferry to Banda Aceh, the most extreme state in Indonesia whereby having sex with a Muslim would earn you 40-60 lashes! Despite Nick's warnings about contacting Firmandez, I contact him ...
...have a bday on Pulau Weh
We went from Medan to Banda Ache by plane. From there we took a ferry to Pulau Weh to experience some of the "best diving in South East Asia." The island is what remains of an old inactive volcano. Very mountainous for it's small size but with great roads ...
Another Hidden Paradise in Sabang, Aceh, Indonesia
... , since The Tsunami hit this island. Nangroe Aceh Darussalam. This is a province on the top corner of Sumatera Island, and part of Indonesia Continent. In this trip, I try to spare my time to take a holiday to Sabang Island. It wasn't an exciting trip at ...
van Banda Aceh naar het eiland Sabang
Opstaan, ontbijten, koffer inpakken. Om 8:30 komt de chauffeur van zijn werk mij ophalen om me naar de haven te brengen, waar de boot naar Sabang vertrekt. Die blijkt om 10 uur te vertrekken. Ik reis eenvoudig, de goedkoopste klasse, dan reis je tussen ...
vertrek uit Kuala Lumpur naar Banda Atjeh
... . 's Avonds bij hem gegeten en daarna gaan we de stad in. Het is donker dus ik heb nog niet zo'n goed beeld van Banda Atjeh. Eerst naar twee restaurants gegaan, maar hij vond het geluid te hard, daarna naar een andere locatie in de stad gegaan, waar hij ...
The Tsunami
... was taken. There was nothing to say who she was or what had happened to her since. Despite such devastation, walking around Banda Aceh now you could be completely unaware of anything of the sort having taken place. I did learn of something positive ...
Behave your self your in Banda
... in Jakarta. With our flight booked for the next day we decided to spend the day wondering round Banda Aceh as tourists. Sights included the impressive Mesjid Raya Baiturrahman (brilliant white grand mosque) and the Tsunami landmarks except ...
dia de casorio
Acordamos cedo e rolou uma certa duvida em ir no casamento. Estavamos meio com vergonha e uma certa preocupacao da gente ser meio inconveniente e colar numa festa na qual nao conheciamos quase ninguem, sendo que conheciamos a noiva há um dia e nem ...
The Only Gays in the Village
... did get a bit tiring, being offered taxis every 20 seconds, but as we were the only visitors in the city, it was unsurprising. Banda Aceh is a small, sleepy town, very chilled out and peaceful, but there are things to see and do - we visited the Tsunami ...
Diving delights - they don't get any better!
Wednesday 7th December 2011 – Pulau Weh I had a great night's sleep and woke up just before we arrived in Banda Aceh. This was the town that took the biggest hit of the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami, when the north west coast of Sumatra took the full ...

In het kort.. Ik en m'n zwarte volghond bevinden ons nu op het meest noordelijke punt van het land, een bungalow aan het strand, een woeste zee en alles zit mee. Het is nu de 17de en ik ben hier nog steeds,'k ben het niet verder gaan zoeken.. elke dag ...
if you want to read, make yourself a brew first!
... the sort of place we’d love. It’s a bit of a pain to get to – flight to Medan, then another flight to Banda Aceh then a ferry over to the island; but it was totally worth it. We were met by Will and his lovely girlfriend Nuk off the ...

From The Past 'till Present to The Future
This is the place where I was born. A new beggining...hope it can end in happiness ...
Why ask me if you don't believe me?!
... and my reply has now been fine tuned to 'I'm from England but my parents are Chinese' and then they (especially people in Banda Aceh and Pulau Wey) annoyingly reply 'you no Chinese. I think you Korean or Japanese.' Its seriously ...
You know I said I didn't do rustic
... Weh from mainland Sumatra, I told Jon I was waiting for the other shoe to drop. Everything was going well. Even arriving at Banda Aceh airport to find the visa office closed was smoothed over for us by the Indonesian immigration chief - and I don't ...
