Background: The Dutch began to colonize Indonesia in the early 17th century; the islands were occupied by Japan from 1942 to 1945. Indonesia declared its independence after Japan's surrender, but it required four years of intermittent negotiations, recurring hostilities, and UN mediation before the Netherlands agreed to relinquish its colony. Indonesia is the world's largest archipelagic state. Current issues include: alleviating widespread poverty, preventing terrorism, continuing the transition to popularly-elected governments after four decades of authoritarianism, implementing reforms of the banking sector, addressing charges of cronyism and corruption, and holding the military and police accountable for human rights violations. Indonesia has been dealing with armed separatist movements in Aceh and in Papua.

July 5th After a delicious breakfast we said a sad farewell to Kuba Lalang. Of all the places we've stayed on our travels, this was by far the best (and not even close to the most expensive). Our time here has been like a second honeymoon and we'll definitely return one day. Just before noon we set off east toward Tulamben. We were warned that there's no ATM there so we stopped for a fat chunk of cash in Singaraja. Once outside town the road condition deteriorated rapidly. We were bouncing all over the place and couldn't dream of averaging more [View Full Entry]

I'm back in Business! Asia » Indonesia » Bali » Ubud
Yesterday i had a good day, travelled up the west coast and met up with some friends of a friend, we had lunch and then a group of us headed with cakes from a local bakery to a perfectly secret bar in the middle of nowhere to watch the sunset on the beach and watch the surfers make the most of the last hour of the afternoon. It was such a nice evening. But even better than that...... I got my bag back! The man from air asia rode round with it on his ped after he'd finished work to try [View Full Entry]

en liten stund siden vi har fått skrevet nå. vi har vært temmlig travle og dagene bare flyr av gåre. nå har vi bare 2 dager igjen, litt trist. men skal bli godt å komme ned til australia. for noen dager siden, fiksa vi bil med sjafør og turen bar til ubud. vi tenkte å ha en kulturell dag. sjaføren vi fikk kunne minimalt med engelsk, og hadde masse hår i føflekken i tryne som katrine hang seg veldig opp i. ho blei nesten dårlig... vi var innom samtlige fabrikke, alt i fra tre, tekstil til malierier. han var fryktelig intressert [View Full Entry]

Lieve allemaal! Laatste week Bali... Na een ultra health kuur in Ubud vond ik het toch weer tijd worden voor een feestje en heb ik wat mensen die ik eerder had ontmoet opgezocht in Kuta (al hadden ze die 'a' best weg mogen laten), wat de feestplaats, het Lloret, het Chersonisos van Bali is waar je de Australiers en de Britten/Ieren in hun puurste vorm kunt waarnemen; dronken.... stomdronken... Absolutely shitfaced, zoals ze dat zelf noemen, en er dan zeer triomfantelijk bij kijken... Ondanks alle waarschuwingen vond ik toch dat ik het zelf mee moest maken, en dus heb ik me [View Full Entry]

July 2nd After we enjoyed our last breakfast on our veranda, we packed our goodies, hopped in our Jimny and set off for Lovina, a town on the north coast of Bali. On the way we picked up another tote bag to put our shopping in. We've accumulated a few things since our arrival here and need a spot more space. Driving on these roads isn't as scary as we had thought (we've survived the streets of Vietnam after all). You just have to know that people insist on overtaking on blind corners and hills, and drive with at least half [View Full Entry]

It's just got serious! Asia » Indonesia » Bali
Well not only am i a lone wolf... but i am also possessionless! My bag never came off the carosel thing at Bali airport... Major Disast! I'm coping quite well i think, got all the basics and still hoping that it might turn up, i'm giving it until sunday. If not it's fine because i can go shopping and re-invent myself into a surfer chick which is pretty much the only look available here. Kuta the town i am in is really nice but the only historical landmark i can find is the bars that the Bali bombings happened at, other [View Full Entry]

Lombok is not that far from Bali. We first intended to take the fast boat...but when I found out it was double the price than flying...well, we were on another flight. This time only 20 minutes, just the time to go up and down on a Fokker 50 from another Indonesian airlines...but a rather "not old" plane! Welcome to the Island of the Gods. I know that for most people this is a paradise and a destination in itself. For us it is another fun stop-over this time. 2 nights spent enjoying Bali. First, what you won't see this time.

June 29th After breakfast Talita went into high gear and quickly arranged a rental car for our stay in Bali. The public transport here is too expensive if you're a tourist (because the rip-off factor is pretty high here). It's a little more expensive but much more convenient to have our own car because we want to travel all over the island and be able to stop and take pictures whenever we please. Later we went to the Internet shop to catch up with some blogging, but Travelblog was having issues so we went walking around town. At one point we [View Full Entry]
