agree with above respond..you can buy SIMPATI-TELKOMSEL.. it has the largest coverage.for calling, it's quite expensive though. however, for international call you can put 01017 followed by phone code and the phone number.. it's much cheaper than using your country's sim card.happy traveling!uuth still some remote area can't be reach.
Java and Bali are densely populated. On public holidays the popular tourist destinations may be crowded with local tourists. The traffic jams near Puncak Pass on these days are notorious. If you prefer not being part of a crowd, consult this list of 'bank' holidays. These official holidays are decreed by the government, but the decree does not include school holidays. For these I give an estimate.Year 2011.(9) Wednesday 17 August. Independence Day, festivities on the days around this date.(10) Sunday 28 August through Sunday 4 September. End of Muslim fast month holiday week (Idul Fitri 1-2 Syawal 1432 H). Around this week almost everyone in Java travels, and it is virtually impossible to get a plane or train ticket on short notice!!(11) Sunday 6 November. Muslim holiday Idul Adha 1432 H.(12) Sunday 27 November. Muslim New Year 1433 H.(13) Sunday and Monday 25-26 December. Christmas...
Indonesia is huge. I've been travelling a few times there & still have not managed to cover it. :)Anyway, with 7 - 10 days, you really need to be selective. I would suggest, skip Jakarta & travel directly to Jogjakarta. Stay about 2 days there, and cover the Kraton, Taman Sari, Borubudur & Prambanan. The last 2 are UNESCO world heritage sites. They are relatively easy to travel to. Won't be doing much physical activity except for walking & a bit of climbing.Then travel overland to Bromo, on the East of Java. What I did before to safe some time was to travel at nite. I left Jogja around 8pm, and arrived in Cemoro Lawang past 6am, making a few short stops along the way. Stay overnite there if you intend to catch the breathtaking sunrise, viewed from Mount Penanjakan. Besides the sunrise, you can make a short stop at the Lautan Pasir, basically the inside of the caldera, and walk to Mount...
..Going to another country, it is important for a visitor to know a few local words and phrases.Learning simple words In Bahasa such as "thank you" and "hello" goes a long way. The locals appreciate you more for trying. They become more friendly and helpful too. Try these simple words and have fun!GREETINGS/ CIVILITIES:Selamat datang / WelcomeApa kabar? / How are you?Selamat pagi / Good morningSelamat siang / Good maySelamat sore / Good afternoonSelamat malam / Good eveningSelamat makan / Have a nice mealSelamat bertamasya / Have a nice trip / holidayHave a nice trip / Goodbye (if someone is leaving)Selamat jalan / Goodbye (if you are leaving)Selamat tinggal / GoodbyeTerima kasih / Thank youSama sama / Don’t mention itTidak terimah kasih / No thank youBerapa harganya? / How much does it cost / what’s the price?Mahal! / Expensive!Murah! / CheapBoleh tawar? / Can I bargain?Harga pas /...
Starting from Bali island, take a morning 07.00 am flight from Bali Ngurah Rai Airport to Komodo Airport at Labuan Bajo by 'trans nusa', cost in the range IDR 800 K to 1100 K and would take about 55 minutes, then take an Ojek (motorcycle) from Komodo Airport to Labuan Bajo downtown in 10 to 15 minutes(no taxi, don't imagine Labuan Bajo as Bali island, it is a small town), said to ojek driver (he will guide you to some hotels) to Jalan Soekarno Hatta to get some budget accomodation, there were many, GARDENA, MATAHARI, BAJO Beach or others in the range of $ 20 per night, or if you are 4 to 8 peioples, you could take a mini van called ANGKOT (sharing taxi)which loads 8 passengers. At Labuan Bajo you could find so many travel agents or tour oprators with would manage your trip not only to Komodo National Parks but you coud Explore Flores Sea/East Nusa Tenggara, it is possible for you to...
Hi,I suggest you to make your trip to Bali.Take budget flight such as airasia (www.airasia.com), jet star (www.jetstar.com) or tiger (www.tigerairways.com).Get a room at Kuta, Seminyak or Legian. Tons of cheap accomodation there. Plenty travel agent so u can book your tour. But you also can make a DIY your trip there. Rent motor cycle only 50 thousand rupiahs for 24 hours. But if you dont feel uneasy to ride, you can rent car there. Those are not expensive. For beach, I like suluban beach. Good beach for beaching or swiming. It is near from uluwatu temple.Enjoy your holiday..
Hi,About terrorism issue, I make sure to you that you will travel very safe. Just go on your plan to Indonesia. For Medan trip, you can take flight from Kuala Lumpur to Medan or from Jakarta to Medan. And then from Medan, you can go to Toba Lake.Happy traveling
Never drink water out of the crane, it's dirty, it comes directly from the river. It's not purified.Everyone in Indonesia is used to start the day with boiling water. When boiled, the water is safe to drink. They serve it when the water is still warm. It's called "air putih" (white water).That means that, if a person offers you a glass of water, it is save to drink if it's warm, even if it is offered in a poor neighbourhoud. Tea and coffee are allso save.The vegetables, however, are washed in crane-water. That means you better only eat vegetables or fruits who are cooked well. Otherwise you will get sick. Yes, you're right, Indonesian people ate the vegatables and the fruits, also if they are raw. Well, Indonesian people are used to that, and by the way, they are very often stomick sick, a lot of them even have suffered from typhes (more than 10% of my friends!), that's still a comman...
Celebes or Sulawesi as it is now known is the center for maritime trade going to China for many years. Today it is still supplying lots of sea food, fresh fishes and dried sea cucumbers.Hardy travelers plan for the strenuous trip through the center of this southern arms to Rantepao to witness funeral rites and the Torajans tradition of the placement of coffins in the caves. For the more timid tourist who just wanted a first hand impression of the Island? The provincial capital of Makasaar in Southern Sulawesi is a good alternative. There is a barrage of changes taking place in this vicinity since host of budget air lines made beelines for the place. The city began waking up and year 2010 is seeing its transition. There are modern amenities, giving the place that "up to date metropolis looks". In the meantime, most other places -in constrast, time stood still. For example - the old part...
There are many wonderful beaches in Bali - one of my favorites is White Sands beach in Bug Bug village about 5 km from the more touristy area of Candi Dasa (which has no decent beaches).If you are going to Bali to find a nudist beach - you are going to the wrong place. Balinese people are quite conservative and while tourists' dress is accepted in the tourist areas, it would be inappropriate to even consider a nudist beach.
