Most visitors arrive in Manado via the Sam Ratulangi Airport. When the plane is on its final leg before touchdown, it will fly over rows and rows of coconut trees, with a view of Mt Klabat in a distance. That's one my favorite view cause I know soon I'll be landing at the place where I grew up...
Manado has a population of approx half a million people, which is about the same as:
Duisburg, Germany
Lyon, France
Antwerp, Belgium
Liverpool, UK
Luxor, Egypt
Fresno, California, USA
Belford Roxo, Brazil
Santa Fé, Argentina
Nagasaki, Japan
Auckland, New Zealand

Would love to see your tarsier pictures here one day. They're a different sub-species than the ones in the Philippines and they range throughout this part of SE Asia (they're endangered, though)
