Batu Putih Village - North Sulawesi
click to enlarge picture
Phil Brain, Manado & Jakarta. The Village of Batu Putih is located at the Northern tip of the Island of Sulawesi in Indonesia. It is approximately 1.5 km. from our beach property "Volcano Beach". Geographical location is approxmately 1 degree North Latitude and 124 degrees East Longitude. The population of the Village is approximately 1000 but, like anywhere in Indonesia this is based upon an educated guess. Like everywhere in North Sulawesi, Volcanos have made a tremendous impact. The beach is black volcanic sand and the soil is extremely fertile. The primary source of income in the village is fishing, in the most traditional sense. Coconut production and processing provides employment for some.
There is also a very small amount of agricultural production, other than coconuts. Also, a small tourist industry related to the Tangkoko National Game preserve located adjacent to the village. A few small "Homestays" including "Mama Roos", "Tangkoko Ranger" and "Tarsius" provide basic food and lodging. Tangkoko Park contains many interesting types of birds and monkeys including the "Tarsius", the worlds smallest monkey.
By Western standards the vast majority of these people would be considered extremely poor. However, there are many ways to define what "poor" actually means. In many ways I perceive these people to be quite rich. The population of the village is approximately 95% Christian with a small minority of Muslims. There is no Hospital, Clinic or for that matter, Police in the village. The schools are minimally equipped, at best. Being located very close to the Equator the climate is beautifully Tropical. There are basically two seasons --hot and wet and hot and dry. The wet, or rainy season begins approximately in November and continues until approximately April. During the rainy season ocean waves and swells increase dramatically and consistently. Humidity also increases and runs in the 80-100%rh range. I would not consider the rains to be monsoon type but do, on occasion, continue for a number of days.
During dry season between approximately May and November, seas are generally calm, rain is sparse and the humidity drops consistently to 40-60%rh level. Temepratures remain the same 365 days a year. Highs around 33, lows around 27. The people of the Village are wonderfully warm and open. I would estimate the average monthly income to be in the 15-30USD per month range for those who actually work but, unemployment is extremely high. I would estimate 40% or more are unemployed. From what I can see, people are extremely happy. Electricity is available however, it is often off for periods of up to 10 days and total "up" time is probably approximately 50%. I don't think that there is even one air conditioning unit in the village and heat is obviously not required.
TV's are few and far between, they are often viewed in groups at local Warung's (small stores). I travel through the village on every trip to and from Volcano Beach and have come to know many of the villagers. I'm also recognized often as I am the only "Bule" (Foreigner) whom they see on a regular basis. In some small way I would like to help the village. Possibly through establishing a Clinic and helping get some textbooks for the schools. ---It's a wonderful place.

Yogyakarta, Borobudur Temple, Prambanan Temple
John Glines, Thailand. PRAMBANAN TEMPLE, Located in the village of Prambanan and known also as Loro Jongrang Temple or the "Temple of the Slender Maiden", Prambanan Temple was built in the 9th century and is the largest Hindu temple complex in Indonesia. Its parapets are embellished with bas-reliefs illustrating the epic "Ramayana". The complex has eight major temples, the largest being the Temple of Shiva in the center of the complex. UPDATE: this temple was badly damaged in the earthquake of 27 May 2006 but has since reopened to tourists.
YOGYAKARTA, Founded in 1755, Yogyakarta is a major center for the classical Javanese arts of music, dance, puppetry and batik making. Unfortunately the city is at the foot of Mount Merapi which is still a very active volcano and is on a major fault, which time and again has damaged the city and the nearby temples.
Borobudur, in Central Java, was built in the 8th century and is the largest Buddhist temple in the world. It's a solid, stepped pyramid, the lower portion of which is decorated with 1,460 carved panels illustrating the life of the Buddha and his teachings. These panels, arranged in a series of galleries on four levels, create a narrative of ever increasing spiritual awareness, culminating in the three circular upper terraces, with 72 stupas, each containing an image of the Buddha. This upper level with its commanding view of the surrounding valley "symbolizes the formless world of pure knowledge and perfection, the beatific vision of a bodhisattva or enlighted one." (John Miksic in "The Mysteries of Borobudur")

Lombok Island
Berkat Sabar Pottery Village
click to enlarge picture
Kazuo Lim Khee Boon, Penang Island, Malaysia. Lombok, an island with total area of about 4,725 km² located in between Bali & Sumbawa. The administrative capital and largest city on the island is Mataram. The island's inhabitants are 85% Sasak (a people, closely related to the Balinese, but mostly practising Islam), only 10-15% are Balinese.
Lombok are less well-known and less visited by foreigners as compared to Bali. The most-developed center of tourism is Senggigi, spread in a 10-kilometer strip along the coastal road north of Mataram, while backpackers congregate in the Gili Islands off the west coast. Senggigi is the most developed with full range of hotels and tourist services.
The best time to visit Lombok will be from mid of May to late September. Well, I would say visiting either Bali or Lombok during August, 95% you will be welcoming with the cool wind and blue sky.
Indonesia composed of 17,000 islands that stretch over 5,000 miles along the equator. The Peninsula Malaysia and Indochina are situated to the north-west, and the continent of Australia lies due south. Northward lie the Philippines and Micronesia.
Indonesia's constellation of islands straddles the divide between the Asian and Australian continental plates. As a result, the islands offer a stunning variety of topographies and ecologies Mist-shrouded volcanoes and mountains, unexplored rain forests, thousands of miles of beaches, and endless offshore reefs support a dazzling abundance of wildlife, making Indonesia an ideal destination for adventure and eco-travel.
Despite the varied culture, the one thing the people do have in common is their friendliness. Indonesians are amongst the friendliest in south east Asia, which is in itself one of the most sociable areas in the world. Wherever you travel in the country you will more than likely be greeted by a chorus of 'Hello Mister's from the local population. Indonesians have no inhibitions when it comes to starting conversations with strangers and you will frequently find yourself in passing conversations with numerous locals. The people are so sociable that it may take some getting used to. [photographer by:Kazuo Lim Khee Boon
