memaafkan (kesalahan) orang. Allah menyukai orang-orang yang berbuat
kebajikan. Dan (juga) orang-orang yang apabila mengerjakan perbuatan
keji atau menganiaya diri sendiri mereka ingat akan Allah, lalu memohon
ampun terhadap dosa-dosa mereka dan siapa lagi yang dapat mengampuni
dosa selain dari pada Allah – Dan mereka tidak meneruskan perbuatan
kejinya itu, sedang mereka mengatahui. (QS. 3: 133-135) menginfakkan rezeki,

... more than guidelines and if a road will fit three abreast then cars will do so. Also, motorbikes seem to be exempt from one way regulations and can often be found whizzing down the street in the wrong direction. The smell too is amazing, a blend of two-stroke fumes and a strangely sweet aroma that I couldn't quite pin down. My driver was pleasant enough and we had a nice conversation about Indonesia, Britain and one another.

... in kitchen, full bathroom, and satellite cable. Marty has been catching up on all 7 travel network channels and the gazillion other networks that we don't normally see since we do not own a TV. I am painfully reminded why now because IT IS ALWAYS ON. However the best part of this studio is that we are steps away from our friends which makes everything very very convenient. AND the building also houses a spa and yoga studio on the ground floor owner by our friends family. I ...

... small that it also does not ruin the coffee like you may expect. While we were eating breakfast, Lisa and I talked with a guy from Japan and another guy that we had spoken to earlier from Hawaii. Right as we were finishing up breakfast, he mentioned that he was in dire straits over his computer problems. As a writer in the medical anthropology field, a computer was very important to him, so I offered to help. It turns out his hard disk was fried, so I said we ...

... as staying on top of a mountain in a traditional bamboo house. All very peaceful. The second day was spent looking at various aspects of life in the countryside including rice cultivation and tea production etc. The scenery was amazing and it gave us a better understanding of the way of life of many Javanese (and indeed many Asians). There was a brief visit to a primary school to flaunt our tourist-celebrity status (I was ...

Took the early Garuda flight (GA 602 - 7:10am) from Jakarta to Manado with a 20-minute transit in Makassar. Unfortunately, the departure time was delayed one hour and I began to zone out as I got up at 4am that morning to get to the airport. Waited at Soekarno-Hatta for 2 hours until passengers were finally allowed to get on the transfer bus to the plane. Meals ...

... month or rent and provide me with lunch everyday. Loads of the other regions want me to go and visit too so i will get to see quite a bit of the country I think. On Wednesday we had a stall at an NGO fair in the parlimentary building which was quite interesting even if it was all in Indonesian! Then today I went with Beni, to attend a meeting at the UN offices but when we got there we realised we needed certain papers with us for the meeting so couldn't attend, it would of ...

... with the trek, we will take the data back to Coconut Island and add it to the project's growing body of research on orangutan health. From there, it is sent to Dr. Ivona,who oversees the research from the Czech Republic. But while my spirit was willing, my body had other plans. From the beginning, I knew something wasn't right with my stomach. Ever since I ate a water apple from a local man's backyard, I've felt sick. Briony had some of the apple and felt a ...

... other fishermen try to tackle you while you're reeling in or something. I'll let you know if I learn anything new. Now we're in Bukittinggi, Sumatra, not doing much (which we seem to get better at everyday), just trying to work up the gumption to do some trekking, tours, or something along those lines. We'll get to it tomorrow, really. Although I did just trade for "Hannibal", the "Silence of the Lambs" sequel, maybe we'll do something Friday...... A brief ...
