... Rasulullah SAW bersabda, "Sebaik-baik air di muka bumi ialah air Zamzam. Air Zamzam merupakan makanan yang mengenyangkan dan penawar bagi penyakit. Diamanatkan agar sewaktu minum air Zam-zam harus dengan tertib dan membaca niat. Setelah minum air Zam-zam kita menghadap Ka'bah.

Karena keutamaannya, air zam-zam tetap diburu, dan setiap jama’ah yang pulang pasti membawanya untuk disuguhkan kepada sanak keluarga saat berkumpul. Mr-Senin 26 Okt 2009.

... and they couldn't leave the white boys apart in Jakarta, so they grudgenly stamped his shiznit and let him through.

Coast clear after a long day 18 hours of traveling right? Not so much. We get out and there are 25 cabbies literally fighting over who will take us and where. We were the only Americans on the last flight of the night, so we were the meal ticket. I mean they guys pushing, fighting and yelling. We had our hotel picked thanks to ...

Landed Thursday afternoon in Jakarta after 7 airports and 42 hours in transit. I find most blogs complaining about the rigors of air travel boring (sure beats a Conestoga or a donkey, you New Age whiners), so I will spare you, except for one observation of cultural duality. I was in coach on Singapore Airlines from Singapore-Jakarta yesterday and sat next to a monk in a saffron colored robe. He was reading some Buddhist text in what I ...

... she wanted a sit-down meal, so we went next door to the Kuala Lampur Kafe. In my drunken haze, I forgot to invite Mark along, but I am did remember to grab his email address so I can thank him for all those beers as soon as I find Internet access again. I do remember that the K.L. Kafe served excellent food at a marginally cheaper price then Memories or Pappas, so it is a place I would recommend. Since we had to get up at 5 AM the following day, to catch our ...

... complain the company was good, the settings however were a differant story. Argh what a **** hole, i tried not to have too many prejudices before arriving but jakarta justified them all and then some, aside from my friendly hotel owner who managed to score me a cheap coach ticket onto sumatra the place was a typical large asian city, full of smog, bar girls, girls who didnt work in bars but accosted you anyway (sod off!) chancers, dancers ...

... arrived our seats were occupied by a family of four Indonesians, all fast asleep. Not wishing to wake them and be seen as the "bullying westerners" we found a space to sit for the 5.5 hour journey - on the floor. By the toilet. It probably rates as one of the most uncomfortable journeys we have ever endured but we were kept in high spirits by the prospect of being met at the station (at 2 in the morning) and ferried to our hotel.

11:30 pagi - walaupun penat ekspedisi kecil aku & Redza tak hilang lagi, disebabkan masa itu emas terutama di negara orang, kami hanya sempat naik ke bilik & ambil barang keperluan untuk penerokaan satu-satunya hari kami di Jakarta. Destinasi kami - Tanah Abang, tempat di mana orang cakap ada lapan tingkat penuh dengan barang-barang murah.

... staan na te hebben gedacht dat het kip was....dus was 'pok' de hele weg de grap. Peter had ook een soort gelijk verhaal dat hij in singapore was en wilde boarden waarop de vrouw omriep "row 20-30 are not invited for boarding"...hij dacht al wat is dat lullig dat je niet mag boarden, totdat de vrouw merkte dat iedereen bleef zitten en haar zin veranderden...not bleek NOW te zijn... dus bij ons gingen de grappen alleen maar over 'I want not pok!"en dat ...

... Bali. I wasn't sure what to expect in Bali but I did think it would be more of a developed country. There is very little infrastructure, lots of poverty, and EVERYTHING has a price. You can't walk 10 feet down any street without someone asking you to buy something, asking if you want a massage, a fake Rolex, sunglasses, asking if you need a taxi, buy this, buy that, " I give you good deal, special price ...

... and I was concerned I could have a serious fall. When we stopped for lunch, Karen felt my forehead. "Panas," she told Wanda. I was burning up, but was covered in goosebumps because I felt cold. We decided it was best for me to return to camp and rest. I was disappointed I could go no further, but everyone bolstered my spirits by saying how far I'd come being so ill. It was then that we gave ourselves the name Jungle Spirit (Semangat Hutan), because we all ...
