... outside our hostel there was beeping and shouting and pointing and nudging and swerving and traffic pile ups...EVERYONE wanted to talk to us!! Honestly it was a taste of celebrity culture that's for sure...I hid behind my oversized sunglasses as people clamoured over each other to catch a glimpse!! There were even motorbikes swerving up onto the pavement to get as close to us as possible...<br><br>At LEAST 97% of those about in this overcrowded city wanted to talk to us and ...

... informed us that he only had one room left which was their most expensive one and was twice the price of the room we had booked. We were absolutely livid and Dean demanded that he let us have the room for the same price. After some hard negotiating, he finally agreed that we could pay just $5 extra. It was well worth the extra money as the room was extremely stylish with an outdoor tropical bathroom and a balcony with a hammock overlooking the jungle ...

... days here buying some souvenirs, eating a few last bites of Indonesian food, and reflecting on all that we've seen and done during the last couple of months.<br><br>So long Indonesia! We look forward to seeing you again some day!<br><br>Until next time,<br>Jon and Liz

... were relieved to find that after 5 months we were an average only £1.30 a day over budget! Not bad to say that everything is at least 20% more expensive than we planned after the slump in the price of Sterling. After Australia and Indonesia we were delighted to find we are actually slightly up on budget, probably a good thing considering our next destination&#8230;<br> Here are the Photos.<br> Next stop and the shopping Mecca that is Singapore!

... her bike. She was on her way home to give her children lunch after school, attend to the garden and prepare a fresh batch of jamu for her afternoon route on the other side of town. But suddenly the sky darkened. Thunder rumbled deep in the belly of the clouds. Then the rain spilled out, gushing through the gutters and splashing on the streets. Lightning chicken-scratched the sky. Becak drivers covered their becaks with sheets of old plastic. Motorcyclists pulled over to wait out the ...

... niezorganizowane. Mnostwo tu ludzi, motorow i motorow z przyczepka osobowa zwnaych becakami. Motorem wozi sie wszystko i wszystkich. Na motor miesci sie dwojka doroslych i dwojka dzieci. Cena benzyny to mniej wiecej 45 centow za litr.<br><br>W Indonezji nie mozna wypozyczyc samochodu, mozna wypozyczyc samochod z kierowca. Przyczyna jest prosta.

... tell you..never mind my 75 kg frame and 25 kg bulky backpack, easily manouvering through a thrid world traffic madhouse that shows the weirdest scênes like the motorbike next to us carrying a fully grown pig on the back legs up and screaming its proverbial pig`s throat out.<br><br>My driver is so keen on getting me to the hotel of his choice he quite litterally rides me down all the way over a wooden boardwalk to the reception of his calling.......talking about ...

... bon-bons or Dutch coins, a couple of scarwny village dogs that can`t be bothered to give my Ferringi heels a bit of chase. The whole village breathes an air of neglect and boredom. Ambarita has got a huge souvenir market with junk, junk and more junk spilling out in the dusty street and nobody around to release the bored looking sellers of their wares.

... ja Malesiaankin. Paistettua kanaa, rendangia, gulai nangkaa (eli jackfruit currya) ja tulisia katkarapuja. Oli hyvaa, mutta suhteellisen kallista. Kahden hengen lounas juomineen ja jalkiruokahedelmineen maksoi huimat Rp 137.000 eli 8 euroa. Ihan oikeasti vahan jarkytyimme hintaa, mutta oikein se oli. Tsekkasimme hotellista ulos vasta yhden jalkeen. Trooppisen rankkasateen yllattamana paatimme menna Pinang Baris -bussiasemalle taksilla. Sielta ...
