Foreigner equals Transport
<p>Before going to Indonesia I made a list in my head with all the Indonesian food I missed so dearly in Holland. On it are nasi padang (check, the first day), gurame bakar (a barbecued sweet water fish that is utterly delicious with kecap sauce), balinese sate languan (Balinese tuna sate mixed with coconut) batagor, siomay and lumpiah basah (all to be scored in Bandung), nasi kuning (check, ate it two times in a row in the wonderful Ubud eatery Pulau Kelapa, near the Neka Art Museum), es jeruk (‘juice’ of small orange/limes with lots of sugar and lots of ice), jus alpukat (avocado juice with chocolate) and tempe (soybean cake). <br>
Scavenging Ubud for food late at night, out of all dark corners voices sounded the usual greeting: Hello Miss, Transport? The first few times this might be amusing, but fairly quickly wariness kicks in. A friend of mine even told me they ask her if she wants transport when she walks around with her bicycle, or just gets off to park her motorcycle. It is not so much a genuine inquiry, as it is a reflex: Foreigner equals transport.   <br>
There it is
My article about Malang. Malang is a nice city in Indonesia. Have you ever been to Malang? It's a city famous for it's apples.
Beautiful Losari Beach
It takes 2 hours flight to Makassar from Jakarta. There is 1 hour time difference between Makassar and Jakarta. I took a taxi from Sultan Hasanudin airport to Losari. I really enjoyed my time and I liked the people when I had there. In a morning time, many people activities, jogging, walking, bycling, fishing. My favorite time is late afternoon. I walking on the beach and feel relaxed. Â If you are in Losari don't forget to eat seafood and fish and drink ice coconut in Lae Lae restaurant. It is delicious! The other foods you should try is "Nasi Kuning". You can also find traditional desert "Es Pisang Ijo or Es Palu Butung". Â Of course there are many other tasty foods. It will be a great experience. Don't worry about the transportation. You can take a public transportation, becak, taxi or rent a car. If you are using becak price is negotiable. I try all! A good choice to visit the beach. For me Losari is beautiful at any moment.Indonesia
