... prepare with ablutions of washing their faces and feet. They would kneel in the prayer hall or musholla and face Mecca. Then they would kneel on their prayer mats and press their foreheads to the ground in supplication, their outer actions matching their inner in their repeated request for grace and pardon. They would say &#8220;Allahu Akbar,&#8221; God is great. <br><br> &#8220;Don&#8217;t rock the boat!&#8221; the fisherman ...

I know when you are travelling it is easy to get caught up in the 'wow' factor of the various cultures seen in foreign countries as they are so far removed from your own but today was something else!! When I set foot in KL I thought it felt like I had stepped of the plane in the wrong country and was in fact in India...after today I would say that KL is as western as London or Madrid!!<br><br> <br><br>Our plane touched down in Medan, Sumatra, Indonesia at approx 11.10am local time ...

We left Lake Toba early in the morning and caught the ferry from Tuk Tuk to Parapat. Our travel agent was waiting for us at the harbour and was very apologetic that he would be unable to accompany us to Bukit Lawang as planned. We both breathed a huge sigh of relief as we had been dreading a long car journey with him barking into his mobile phone the entire way. As our stay in Lake Toba had been so cheap (the total bill for seven nights at the best hotel ...

... the buildings and begun to beat down on the blue plastic canvas umbrellas that sheltered the piles of kangkung, red chilies, green chilies, cauliflower, broccoli, red onion, garlic, pineapples, avocados, terong belanda, starfruit, mangosteen, rambutan, and passionfruit. Fans of overripe bananas hung from rusty nails. A rooster chased a scrawny chicken past a garbage heap of rotting vegetable peels. "Kukuruyuk!" the rooster shouted hoarsely after her, his beady red eyes firmly ...

... busy city. We both had no desire to stay here overnight but Bukit Lawang, our next destination, is about 4hrs away so it makes sense to go tomorrow morning. A guesthouse owner in Georgetown recommended the Angel Guesthouse to stay so we went there, and it turns out they also organize guided treks in Bukit Lawang (which is something we were planning to do anyway) and their package looks really good ...

... like a good idea at the time but where I was down and out he was quite well off but the proverbial Cheap Charley trying to get as much out of me as possible where there was nada to get...So he took me to the Li Peng Hotel and I have stayed true to it ever since!!!<br><br>As for the Black Foot Native American...he turned up at my door in Amsterdam several months later looking for a free couch....I lived in a ...

... amazing creatures!!! Other than that...I put my hand on a huge spiky caterpilar and had hundreds of tiny spikes in my hand....but it was more creepy than really painful. Strange jungle creatures!<br><br><br>Then it was time to say goodbye to the jungle and head to one last island before the end of this trip...but alas there isn't really any internet access here. I found a solution but I can't upload my orang-utan photos until I get to KL in a few days! <br><br>

... there in a huge circle on the greasy tiled floor their spiny antennea wriggling in excitement apparently deep in a cockroach related discussion - maybe the removal of the new Ferringi tenant of what they probably considered their territory.<br><br>For a moment after the light bulb sprang into action they seemed confused and frantically ran around in a fearfull panic before lining up sinle file in a horizal frontline looking at me defiantly standing ...

Saavuimme jalleen uuteen paikkaa iltamyohalla ja pimeassa, kuten tavaksi nayttaa jo muodostuneen. Air Asian lento Kuala Lumpurista oli muutenkin siirtynyt tunnilla ostohetken aikataulua myohemmaksi ja nyt kone oli tasta uudestakin ajasta puoli tuntia myohassa. Niinpa otimme taksin terminaalin edesta (ilman mittaria Rp 50.000 eli n. 3 kotimaan rahaa) tutulle hotellikadulle eli Jalan SMrajalle. Polahdimme ensimmaiseen eteen tulleeseen hotelliin ja tsekkasimme ...
