A Boy and a Boat

... sea the echoing call came, rousing the people from their quiet anxiety. The crescent moon sailed and the stars swam. The voice sang a haunting song. It swept across the ocean and up to the sky. Soon it was joined by another. The voices seemed to come from nowhere and everywhere at once, disembodied spirits that belonged to the sea and sky. The fisherman cut the engine and the boat coasted, gently rocking as the water licked its ...

Going Ape in Bukit Lawang

... Tracey was also parched with thirst as she had avoided drinking any water throughout the night so that she wouldn&#8217;t have to venture out alone into the rainy jungle for a pee. <br><br>Thankfully, by breakfast time, it finally stopped raining. The plan for that morning was to trek back into the jungle again for another three hours before returning to the campsite for lunch. Given the heavy rainfall the previous night and also our lack of sleep ...

The Magic Jamu

... at her feet. She opened her eyes and blinked. The jamu lady smiled, satisfied. The mother's eyes had already cleared to the colour of kayu manis, cinnamon. "Thank you, little sister," she said, and gave her three tattered one thousand rupiah notes. Then she climbed back onto the becak with her children and her basket of fresh vegetables, and disappeared with a puff of smoke into the gathering traffic of the morning, the cacophony of horns, honks and dangdut music. The jamu lady ...

Don't stay near the mosque

... here have to their god, i'm pretty sure there's no way i could drop everything i was doing and pray four or five times a day. Instead of everyone bundling to the mosque for their service, now it is broadcast over a loud speaker throughout the city, at various times - the most annoying being about 4am! And our hotel was so close it sounded like the speaker was in the ...

It's Orang-Utan Time in Bukit Lawang

... just longer. anyway, I was amazed. <br><br>After this I met a cool Kiwi guy and we went on our own "trek" through the paths outside the national park...there wasn't very far to go, but it was fun nonetheless, walking along the river most of the day and stopping to eat rice with our hands (which I am not really getting the hang of lol). <br><br>In the end I opted for a one-day trek in the national park only. I would have loved to have spent a whole ...

Mister Datu, The Holy Man

... to wait outside while he does his magic number on your bride to be - whatever that is supposed to be. Total fee of all this magic stuff is 5000 Rupee but you can be assured you`ll have a wife that will break her back for you in the rice paddies and do the household chores without a murmer....<br><br>I leave these local males to their beer and their raucous laughter unsure wether they were having a bit of fun on my behalf or were giving me a bit of a free lesson on Batak antropology.

The Ubi Man

... recently. Called "Lost in Palm Oil," it features the Orang Rimba tribal peoples of Sumatra's Jambi province who have been displaced from the jungle due to the lost of their homeland to palm plantations. Now starving on the fringes of society, they must scrabble to make a living without their traditional ways. One day they have good luck&#8212;they have found cassava root, a nutritious root vegetable, to eat. It will keep them another day longer ...
