Indonesia

First of all, I am more than relieved to be out of Singapore - the worst place in s/e asia (by far). An aritificial place packed with arrogant and ignorant people, who have lost touch with their background and origin. Nothing in this place is real - even the prices are artifical (~ly high).

Anyways, lets forget about the past and move on to the present. I am now in Jakarta in Indonesia. The city itself isnt that nice (its very big and polluted), however the people here are so lovely, so welcoming and nice - its almost unbelievable. They seem to be happy to see a foreigner visiting their place. Indeed, there arent that many tourists at all - only the 'curious' backpackers make their way down here - and they are generally very easy to get along with. So I met quite a few people within the last 24 hours - locals and travelers. I am really enjoying myself..... [hope to be able to post some pictures here soon]
