As I leave Indonesia after 60 days in country, here are a few things I have learned: from the experience #1. Tums work much better than Rolaids. #2. Never assume that the person giving you directions has the slightest idea what he's talking about. #3. Western women who dress immodestly invite problems. You're in Surabaya, not Surf City, lady. Dress like ...

Certe volte alcune domande e' meglio non porsele. Piu' precisamente, in questo momento la domanda "ma perche' ti ostini a non voler prendere aerei?" e' meglio non porsela. Bukittinggi e' ormai un ricordo lontano: lontano centinaia di chilometri, lontano 35 ore. Jakarta invece e' ancora un miraggio: un miraggio lontano centinaia di chilometri, lontano un numero imprecisato di ore. Questo viaggio si sta trasformando lentamente in una epopea tragicomica: e' senza alcun dubbio il viaggio piu ...

... I spent +/- 700 US$ for two persons, including air tickets from Jakarta, Hotel, Dining, Transport, being tricked :) for eight days. I don't include the souvenirs however. The travel expenses could be a bit cheaper if you take budget backpackers hotel, and hire a car, and drive by yourself. It is best for you to travel in a party of 3 or 4 people, cuts a bit of the budget. Oh yes, almost forgot. A 5 seater commuter car will cost you Rp 150.000,- - 175.000,- (16.5 - 19.25 US ...

... the time the chaos was over, it was 1:20. 10min before takeoff. All was lost. Or not... Indonesian flights, even AirAsia ones, regularly run an hour or more late! I actually was saved, and successfully arrived in Jakarta with enough time to catch an overnight train to my real destination, Yogyakarta. Though I had two hours to kill once the train ticket was bought, I did not exit the garish and strange central station to explore the city. Jakarta is a very large ...

... pun lantai bukan eksekutif). Porter tadi nak terus mengangkat beg kami ke Jalur (Platform) 4, tapi tren kami lambat lagi jadi kami meminta dia meletakkan beg di hadapan Gerai Bakso Malang. Aku memberinya tip Lima Ribu Rupiah, dia meminta Lima Belas. Aku mencuba nasib, "Sepuluh cukup la pak". Gagal. Katanya biasa dapat lima belas. Malas nak bertekak, aku percaya ...

... 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 ...

... is so dark, almost nobody walking on the streets, a lot of smoke everywhere, no names on the streets, so we cannot guide ourselves anywhere. We take a decision: get a taxi and back to airport hotel. Of course, the taxi driver has no idea of English, but we finally get a way to make him understand where we want to go (or we thought so). Before leaving Jakarta, we ...

Here, Indonesians have a saying called "rubber time." That's because here, time bends and stretches in its own unhurried way--a way that takes some getting used to for some Westerners. Basically, it means you can throw away your watch because you won't need it any more--a relief for me as a former magazine editor always ruled by the clock, stressing out over one deadline or the next. But there are no deadlines here, for anyone. You eat when ...
