Favorite Thing: You see them everywhere in Indonesia.
They are quit harmless and there are a lot of different
species. I think they are beautiful.
The special thing is they have these fingers which
makes it possible for them to walk on walls
and windows.
This little fellow just has caught lunch.
A night fly... they are quit useful.
So please don't chase them , don't fear them.
(and don't eat them , if you go padang - see
on my Jakarta page , restaurant tip)lol

Favorite Thing:
We were sitting in this nice restaurant ,
very simple with fresh seafood.
I just got a bit tired of the local Iced tea and
we decided it was time to go for something new.
My buddy was going to take care of that.
He went in the back to choose something and..
He was convinced that it had to be
'JUS ALPUKAT'. What is that , jus alpukat , frederik? I asked. He said that the young guy in the back had pointed to an orange. A green local orange.. Okay , that did sound appealing , refreshing Well I can tell you that jus alpukat is an avocado juice and they add chocolate sauce. Hmmm , like it or don't , I'm not a big fan.

Favorite Thing:
We know a plant in belgium that is called
'venus vliegenval'. The plant got little
traps with sensitive hairs. When a fly sits
in one of the traps , they close and the fly
gets dissolved and is used for extra fertilization.
On Java and Kalimantan they got this plant.
When you touch her she folds all her
leaves. A moving plant. Surprizing.

General Tips: The snake-story.
|

Favorite Thing:
Ok , I must be honest , I'm dying to tell the
snake-story. I know I made better pictures before ,
but it's all about the story.
There is this national parc at the end of the peninsula.
A parth of it is public and after you'll pay a little amount
of money your allowed in. But the tourist office
also organiazes little trekkings to see some
more of the natural beauty of the place..
So , one of the guides came up to us and was
showing us some pictures of the local fauna and flora.
There is this waterfall at the other side of
the island ,
some monekys we didn't saw before ,
porcupines...and snakes.
Well I was interested to see all that untill he named his
price. That was ridiculous. Pffft I didn't even bother
bargaining. ' I WILL FIND THE SNAKE MYSELF' I said.
So me and poor Free went on our way in the first part
of the forest. Here there are nice lanes , the
deer and the javanese macaques welcome you...
Second part is the forbidden forest. ;-)
That is what I wanted to see. It had rained a bit
and climbing up the slibbery hill was quit trying.
But we got up. Walking became easier ,
even if the vegetation was quit dense.
Fondest Memory:
Now Frederik started to ask questions...
'Do you still know to find your way back?'
-Of course I do-
'There are no paths here , do you think a lot of people
come here Frank?'
-No , Frederik , we are fearless adventurers.-
'Frank , what are you going to do when you see a snake?'
Well , I know this sounds unreal , but while Free
was asking the question , I SAW A SNAKE.
-I'm going to make a picture of it and you can hold her.-
And I did make the picture. lol.
(while Frederik was saying ,
not too close , don't do this , look out. lol)
Snake gone , we walked on...couple of minutes later.
Suddenly I heard an gruesomely yell
'aaaaah , I got bitten by a snake...'
When I looked back I saw Frederik with a little
thorny twig hanging on his pants. hihi.
Fear in his eyes. Ok , it is time to ga back.
Not all of us are that fearless I guess.

did u get to stay at Batu Karas Beach? that's the best spot to stay in Pangandaran almost empty beach (unless during public holidays) good food, cheap rooms, good crowd (mostly college students from Bandung and surfers). | Poda Mon Sep 20, 2004 08:31 UTC
