Wijayakusuma Hotel Cilacap

... 5 months. And for TravelPod, yet<br>there is 1 day. But I am still thankful that I was given the<br>opportunity and health to know more about blogs. For that visit this<br>blog, thank you very much. Please advice to beautify this blog. Thanks<br>again .. : D

... get some a/c....woo-hoo! We walked around town and discovered that Pangandaran is a small beach town which is apparently the best beach in Java. It had been devastated by a tsunami just a couple of years ago and we had learned about it after talking to some of its survivors. Now, when we say "small beach town", we mean that as soon as we sat down for dinner that night, one of the local tour operators conveniently sat ...

... the sites. Planting, weeding, watering, fertilizing and harvesting is of course done manually. Back at the hostle, we ate some breakfast and decided to relax for the rest of the day rather than go on another hike to a waterfall....and...thank goodness for that as it poured the entire afternoon. Once again, given the elevation, it probably drops down to about 5 degrees at night and gets up to around 20 during the day.<br><br>On to Pangandaran...and some more heat.<br>

... to the hotel empty handed!!! I did make a small batik purchase though right in Cirebon which is a hand-painted!!! batik of Rama &amp; Shinta (from the Ramayana tale) and then decide to organize my ride to Bandung. I asked at the hotel about buses and again they suggested the door to door van. So I will be picked up around 9 a.m. and should be in Bandung around noon.

... s niece. She invites me to her home to watch a video of the local dances and puppet show. She is living with her mother, Princess Eca, just beside the palace. We watch the video, have a conversation and exchange e-mail addresses. What a pleasure it was to meet both Prince Blue Gun and Miss Susan. Both were so friendly. After leaving, I realize I hadn't even visited the palace!!!!

... 20, keeping the costs down for our travel insurance company! We thanked him perfusely and headed home, back down the alley. With a clean bill of health, it was time to celebrate with a engagement dinner which included: - snack - salad - 2 expensive yummy mains - 2 beers - soft drink - desert the above came to the grand total of $20 (Matt knows how to treat his missus), it was wonderful and there was even live music. The next day we got up ...

... and masses alike. I join the group of temple officials that are among the first to go to the seaside. The preparations for the morning prayer-by-the-sea is underway, and my hunch says it is going to be grand. The altar of sacrifice is being set. Upon it, in the first line are placed twelve kinds of foods, twelve bowls of rice in the second line, then fruits and a big bowl of grains and beans in the third, then cups of tea and wine, and so on. The list is endless. On the higher ...

... bow before it. Three times. The Confucian temple of Lam Tjeng Kiong (LTK), in the township of Cilacap, is where I'm at. I am here for the birthday celebration of its sovereign god, known to all as Hian Thian Sang Tee. How old is this god? At least a hundred years-that's my wild guess-though nobody here seems to care why they should keep count of his age, his being a god. What has just happened is a bizzarely fun procession to observe: The guests, having come from another ...

... After the tour me and Amy went to have lunch and then met up with Christiana, a German girl that Amy had met briefly in Jakarta. We sat and had a few beers in a cafe and chatted. During one particular conversation (I forget what about) Christiana lent far back in her chair and started laughing- a rather eccentric laugh I thought. What I thought was a laugh soon became obvious it wasn't, she was having a fit. I ran round the table and grabbed her to stop her falling off her chair. Amy ...
