Hotelliin asetuttuamme lahdimme etsimaan edellismatkalta tuttua Matahari shopping centeria ja vahan nauratti, kun huomasimme, etta ko. kompleksi ...

Pour attraper ces bestioles, ils construisent une sorte de barricade sur 200m de long dans la jungle et posent des pièges aux seuls endroits où elles peuvent passer. Mais rien ...

... crevaison et pas de roue de secours... Finalement, j'en ai eu plein le cul et je suis descendu à un village (Pendolo), 80 km avant mon point d'arrivée. Là, on te dit qu'il y a un hôtel mais manque de pot (ca continue...), coupure de courant dans le village, donc tu marches seul avec ta lampe frontale sur le bord de la route (oui, en partant à 8h30 du matin, t'es arrivé à 19h30 du soir et il fait nuit). Un jeune t'indique où est l'hôtel, sur une petite route à 200m de la route ...

I've been in Ampana, a small steamy town full of motorbikes and Christmas lights (strangely) far from any primary road, for a few days now. I'm waiting on a boat to take me to the Togean islands. Surprisingly there is internet, one computer on dial up speed. A ...

... etc.) on the beaches of Bunaken. This has to do with the locals' lack of self-awareness about preservation and protection of their surroundings. Obviously, all this garbage is killing the wildlife around them (as one of the locals tell me that Bunaken used to be even more beautiful with fish and corals extending all the way to the shore - but now the corals are dying at a fast rate).

... of Manado, in a town called Girian, and we were directed, along with another Danish guy (Milan) and his Belgian girlfriend (Sophie), to the place where we were to catch another bus to the park itself. As we were walking down the street a bunch of locals (like a dozen or more) packed into the box of a tiny truck asked us if we wanted a ride. We were greatly amused.
