Visa on arrival
by muratkorman
Citizens of many countries have the eligibility for visa on arrival. 15 USD for a short stay is all you have to pay. It is a very short procedure and in 5 minutes you have your visa to enter Indonesia. However, citizens of some countries need to apply for Indonesian visa such as Turkey. I needed to pay 70 SGD for application and it took 3 days to get the visa from Singapore.

This is the immgration at Bintan. Very simple but complicated. Remember to use right hand to give your passport to the officer because in Indonesian culture, left hand is being considered as dirty hand.
Hammock-ing Away
by traps
Bake yourself under the sun at the beach or just on a hammock. Perfect Getaway..! The sunsets are great...huge rocks at the backdrop and there is total silence. And when dusk comes, you get to see stars, stars and MORE! It is defenitely a romantic experience... Its a great place to have a private candlelight dinner and play some jazz music.
