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.

Bali & The Gili Islands Asia » Indonesia » Bali » Ubud
So, we left Japan after a quick day of fish and sightseeing and were off on the longest travel days. We flew from Tokyo, Japan to Hanoi, Vietnam. We arrived in Hanoi at about 10:30pm local time and not having Visa's we were planning on spending the night in the airport. After about and hour and a half of negotiating with the immigration officer on duty, we were allowed to stay in the airport overnight until our 9:30am flight left for Kalua Lumpur, Malaysia. That flight landed at the most chaotic airport of all time with about 16 flight gates in [View Full Entry]

Un autre coin du monde que je ne connaissais pas m'a interpellé dernièrement et Agathe et moi avons décidé de prendre nos trois semaines de vacance de novembre en Indonésie. J'ai toujours été beaucoup plus attirée par l'Afrique que par l'Asie dans les dernières années, mais le fait d'habiter maintenant en Europe et par conséquent de me rapprocher un peu m'a fait rencontrer beaucoup de gens qui ont voyagé sur le continent asiatique et qui en parlent avec passion. Pourquoi l'Indonésie? Bien parce qu'il faut faire un choix (toujours très difficile), nous avions mis quelques pays sur la table: [View Full Entry]

Day 13 Asia » Indonesia » Bali
Day 13 It is our last day in Lovina. Mogley will be picking us up at 2:00 so we can make our way back to Ubud. One thing Lovina is known for are the dolphins. You can’t leave without seeing them. For 60,000 Rh per person we booked the dolphin tour. The wake up call is at 5:30 am and we are to be in the lobby at 6. We were with one other couple in a small “traditional” boat. They are long narrow boats that have long bamboo poles on both sides for stability. The water was like glass and [View Full Entry]

A Quick Guide to Bali Asia » Indonesia » Bali
Bali’s idyllic location, constant warm temperature and welcoming people have made it a key destination for travellers from all over the world. Where is it? Bali is one of the Indonesian islands, set in the Indian Ocean, just 8 degrees south of the equator. It is popular for romantic breaks, honeymoons and weddings as well as being a key surfing destination. Where can I stay? Bali is a haven of warm climates, blue seas and wide sandy beaches. There are big hotels in Bali just as there are in any beach-led country, but the very best hotels are those that reduce [View Full Entry]

Paul’s Thoughts on Ubud, Bali, Indonesia Ubud is just like Asheville. Sometimes sitting in a restaurant in Ubud is just like sitting in a restaurant in Asheville. Same food - huge, delicious organic salads, burritos, veggie burgers, mixed veggie bowls with rice and tahini sauce. Lots of tofu. Same food as health foody Asheville. Then there are the same folks sitting around us. In Malaysia we saw one couple from the US during the whole month. (That’s the truth, not an exaggeration.) Here people from the US are everywhere, and they’re the same sorts of [View Full Entry]

Well after having spent a few days here I am starting to get the reason why people love it here. The people are very nice and will always welcome you with a smile and a Hello. I really am happy with my move to the second hotel Ubud Terrace as it puts me much nearer everything. It so clean and quiet. The garden is beautiful and well maintained. I go into my room in the afternoon and they have place flowers everywhere, the steps, the sink, the nightstand, the light fixtures unbelievable. They wear flowers in their hair Men and women, [View Full Entry]

Day 12 Asia » Indonesia » Bali » Lovina
Day 12 Lovina Beach We basically did nothing all day except lay around and drink beer. I read and Peter went to the pool where he chatted with some Aussies and met an older Canadian man traveling alone. We noticed a lot of people traveling alone here. One lady summed it up. It’s safe. She told me she is divorced her kids are grown and she feels comfortable going to Bali by herself because of this. I have to agree. I saw no threats or reason for anyone to be afraid of the area. Just the drivers! The staff at the [View Full Entry]

What a beautiful Plate. The restaurant was beautiful. Had dinner with a young Aussie couple Alisha and Tod
Well I have finally made it to Bali. So far haven done too much. (Sorry for typos but this comp sticks!!) The first few days I spent at the hotel in Legion which is outside of Kuta where all the Aussies hang out (Auzzies is how we are suppose to say it!) They are a fun bunch so had a lot of fun but never really saw much. However I am in Ubud now which is the art center of Bali/Indonesia. I was expecting a smaller town but with it being such a popular tourist destination it is a busy place. [View Full Entry]

Bali Beach Asia » Indonesia » Bali
The final stop to my Asia trip following just under four months of intensive travel throughout its range. We had visited Bali possibly 11 years earlier and in spite the memories of a child are never all that accurate, certain aspect strook me. The airport which I remebered as small and quaint has become a endlessly extended building taking in the largest Boeings. I arrived and headed to Kuta, centre of the toursit life, and with suprising difficulty shared accomodation as in spite being low season the hotels and steets still seem filled and booked out. The beach is a long [View Full Entry]
