Hello all together, here I am again! Current country: Indonesia

After leaving KL we spend some days in Singapur, very nice and big ciy, but too expensive for us poor traveler, so we made our way by a 8 hour fairy to medan on sumatra.

Our first Indonesian tour was to Bukit Lawang, a little village in the jungle, where an orang utan feeding center is located, the bring orangs born in zoo's and so on back in the jungle...

next was Lake Toba, that is the only area in indonesia where the few people living there are protestant christians (like we are too), they"ve been cannibals until 1819 and change to Christianity in that time, so their kind of building, living and culture is still mixed, very interesting...
(for some pictures of that take a look here, sry, its german http://picasaweb.google.com/we.discover.the.world )

after that we left by plane to java and the capital Jakarta, lived 2 days in bogor, where the colonial britains cared for a big botanical garden. we did a bus tour to bandung, where we wanted to climb on the tankubamprahu volcano, but we've been to late on the day, so we only had a look around and left to yogyakarta today.

City of Bogor


Night market in Bogor


Botanical Garden



This is very strange for us, on the equator on 21.09. and 21.03. the sun is exactly over your head, so you got nearly no shadow


we had a look in a traditional gong factory



met some kids on the way back: "hey mister! mister mister! photo photo"


a typical taxi in jakarta


Tea plantations on our way to bandung


this happens if you have to be  quick, because of that we lost 1 hour


In Bandung we found another night market, and got to know where our everyday lunch comes from. we've been very interested, because you wont be able to see meat selling like that in germany..



This is also a typical view in java, a lot of people are very poor, this is taken out of our hotel window


Rice plants oour way to Yogyakarta by train. java is famous for green valleys like that




thx for reading see you later
