General Tips: You speak Bahasa Indonesia?

  • Favorite Thing: Though I got some of the Indonesian language with my parents we were not allowed to speak Bahasa Indonesia (as "outcast" Indo-generation) when youngster. Speaking some "pasar-Malay" (the former "lower" Indonesian language the colonials spoke) I managed to understand Bahasa Indonesia too. How I managed? By talking to the kids all around ...

    Fondest Memory: When speaking to kids the shyness disappears like snow before the sun. Yes, I like "makan sambal bajak" (eating of some hot chili sauce), go to the "pasar malam" (night-market place), and "bukan punya anak" (donot have children) ... the kids love to entertain you in a very amusing and teaching way ...

  • Favorite Thing: Visiting the Bantimurung Waterfalls is so great, while the falling water brings about a very pleasing temperature. When not that crowded it is a wonderful stay in the day for a picnic.

    BANTIMURUNG WATERFALL


    Fondest Memory: May the kali behind be some dangerous, a jump down-wards the waterfall completes your perfect day, and ... the rocks are not that "licin" (slippery), though take care! A tremendous change after hotty hot Ujung Pandang!
    Thanks Bantimurung.
