Bali Holidays and the Best Bali Surfing...
There's a song that I grew up with in Australia called 'I've been to Bali too'. The lyrics, some that I remember to this day courtesy of over-play by my Dad, include: "And you can't impress me, 'cause I've been to Bali too", which I've always understood to mean that Bali holidays were still beautiful even though they're popular. I've been on holidays in Indonesia several times. But I haven't been on a Bali holiday. But a lot of people have a lot of nice things to say about it on World Reviewer, where expert Bonnie Pelnar proclaims it: magical, saying "Words and pictures alone can't describe this beautiful little island in the middle of Indonesia.". So this is the trip I would now take if I was...

I did so for six and a half weeks. I spent these days near starving, eating grubs and trying to hunt monkeys with poison darts. I kid you not. I trekked through the wettest jungle in the world to befriend not-so-long ago headhunters. I ran for my life while nearly being gored to death by wild boar... My hired guides and I trekked through the mud, took dug out canoes up and down the muddy, leech ridden rivers. I remember wading across a deep creek while freezing cold rain pulverized my scalp. I held up my pack...
After more than 10 years, my family were finally able to go on a vacation together. Considering our limited resources, we decided to go to Indonesia.Our main destinations are Jakarta and Bandung, both on Java Island. Here I would like to share several observations that hopefully would help anybody planning to visit the republic, in the areas of money. 1) Wise Luggage Choice We were surprised to find how willing the locals were at the airports to help load our luggages into the van. However, my father was quick to point out to all of us, NOT to allow them to do so. These helpers come at a cost. They are not helpful for no reason, and they will persistently push you for payment after helping you with...
