Millennium Sirih Jakarta

... I've never experienced such warmth and generosity but I've also never experienced such greedy, money grabbing scammers in my whole time either. The colour of my skin renders me an obvious target as does the fact I'm female an on my own, it's understandable they see me as a walking dollar sign but I've never been treated the way I have been here in any other country. The fact that apart from Bali it's all Muslim doesn't help either... and there ...

... me of 3rd graders working on their letters, they were so intent on doing a good job and when I asked for color they brought out a little tin of colors and I thought at this point a French pedicure was out of the question, it seemed to stress her our to have to paint my toes and she turned the job over to another girl who finished the job.

... teaching me and dug in. Absolutely fabulous food, although the fish did tend to be very much lacking in the 'flesh' department and watching my colleague it seemed that skin and bones were also a very nutritious part of the diet! I managed to try, and enjoy everything, with the help of plenty fluids and also the finger bowl to occasionally clean my hot fingers. I'm quickly finding out that apart from sticking out like a sore thumb because of my skin colour and ...

...you start thinking of a motorcycle as a "family" vehicle I just got back from a little expat-filled trip to Bali, where I was put up by the lovely Inger. After experiencing the wondrous delights of Ubud and Inger's palacial Balinese-style house, complete with home-made yoghurt and Mangosteens, we travelled south with fellow aussies Ian, Carlena and Nick (brother of Inger) to Uluwatu aka surfie-town. Our bungalow accommodation was just perfect, as was the gigantic ...

Upon getting to the ground floor though, we would meet the 4 or 5 men there watching TV nonchalantly, and they would wave us back, saying not to worry. Well, 5 flights up we would trudge half asleep, only to do it again in an hour or so. The only ...

... of rice, chicken and mysteriously exotic dishes heaped on banana leaves. At each table was a plate of traditional Javan wedding cake-gooey dark squares made of palm sugar, rice flour and spices. Donna and I were at a wedding at the house of Felix's brother Budi. It was the end of the night, our last together in Bukit Lawang. Their sister-in-law's wedding had started at 9 am-an event that lasted about ten minutes before the real celebration began. The ...

... restless night of self incrimination, we spend the day doing all the necessary stuff. We speak to the owner of the cafe and visit the police station to make a statement. By the time we've completed all we need to (nothing, except bags disappearing, happens quickly in Jakarta) we just make it by Ba-jai (two stroke, sputtering orange three wheelers) to the main Pelni office, where we pick up lots of information and a 2004 timetable. Later we visit ...
