Helpfulness
If you use local transportation, make sure that you :
1. Ask the local people what bus you must take and how much is the price
2. Tell the driver where you will go and mention the price to him before you get on the bus
3. know the name of the place where you must get off from the bus
4. understand a bit of their native languange

Favorite thing: ambon can be simplified by beaches and blue sky that pretty easy to be visited. near of far just take a loop within leihitu or leitimur peninsula and voila ... dipping barefoot on the shoreline. it's difficult to be forgotten.
Fondest memory: some of beautiful beaches along its island. sun worshipers will enjoy these scenery!
