... Bali or countless often active volcanoes are good examples.
A dark side I encountered were rip off attempts, everywhere and about everything. Bargaining is pretty common in this region, but this was a bit too much. When you have to heavily defend every single Rupiah, it becomes annoying after a while.
Indonesia has got very rich history as it laid on the sea route between India and China. Dutch occupation and 32 years of Soeharto's rule are also ...

... che piangono, ai crateri sulla strada, alla guida quantomeno discutibile dei vari autisti che si danno il cambio, al motore che si e' rotto gia' 3 volte e riparato a sprangate altrettante volte; e riesco anche a dormire con una facilita' sorprendente. Chi ha bisogno di un letto quando hai un bel sedile reclinabile (rotto) accanto ad un finestrino talmente lercio che sembra oscurato, con la condensa dell'aria condizionata che ti gocciola costantemente in testa ed un tizio ...

... next day story: 10th September, 2008 I agreed to take the offer, so the man picks me at my hotel 9 AM in the morning. I was then taken to the 'headquarters', where a girl steals my time by explaining their system. It ends at 1 PM!! The company was named Royal something, and they offered you 25 years 'holiday ownership' with one week stay in a 5 Star (they say) hotel in Bali free every year, and another extra week.And you can switch it to a hotel in Europe or any part of the ...

... until it dislodged and got to wherever it was meant to be. That facking hurt! 'I dont know how those pornstars swallow whole cocks like they do' i immediately thought. But yeah I'd hate to have passed by a million crazy asian drivers without a single accident, and then be found dead on the roadside, 'choked on a vegetable'.



It wasn't all tears today. After I went for food I tracked down a fixed-price supermarket which I noticed a few of on the way into town, and ...

... douanier om een oogje dicht te knijpen. Al een geluk dat ik mijn Spaanse furie bj heb want ik was na drie uur zever klaar om hen al het geld te geven dat ze wilden hebben alleen maar om mij uit die godvergeten gate te laten en een sigaretje te gaan smoren. Na heel wat gesmeek van Marta en haar puppy-oogjes zijn we uiteindelijk voorbij de douane geraakt voor een totaal van 20 dollar. Gracias Marta! Ondertussen was het dus wel 1 uur snachts en staan we op een 40 tal ...

... We even got to see some family by Skype. We found the Javanese to be the most warm hearted and welcoming nation you could possibly hope to visit. We were curious of them and they were equally so of us. As it turned out my nose was quite the topic of debate not that we could often tell, but occassionaly someone would translate. What a shame Java is so very far away from Europe, 'cos it's a wonderful destination with a wonderful population to cap it off.

... lane coming, one lane going, and three vehicles and a family of 4 on a motorbike abreast of each other at any given moment. We spent at least 40 percent of this trip in the oncoming lane, lights flashing, horn blaring, daring the oncoming cars not to slow down, for we weren't. After so many frights, evolving into so many grim sureties of death, I had to close my eyes and imagine grits covered with livermush. A luxury behind ...

... van Kuta, dat verder louter bestaat uit restaurants, kleine kraampjes en outlets van grote modemerken op met name surf en strand gebied, is een waar ground zero te bezichtigen met een bijbehorend bombastisch monument. Van moslimextremisme is hier op het blote oog niets te merken. In tegenstelling tot Java en Lombok is hier niet de Islam maar het Hindoeisme het overheersende geloof. Het geloof in eigen kunnen is hier voor onszelf dezer dagen de belangrijkste ...

Another bus journey brush with death landed us in Probollingo for the night as it arrived too late to go to the foot of the volcano. Honestly, these bus journey's are unlike any we have ever taken. We actually braced ourselves to crash this time and missed the blue truck by a whisker. Must not sit at the front, must not sit at the front. Stayed in a "local's hotel' for the first time. You wouldn't think this would be ...
