    Geography: Indonesia, the largest archipelago in the world, is located in Southeast Asia and Oceania. The country comprises 17,508 islands all in all, with 5 (Java, Borneo, Sulawesi, Sumatra and New Guinea) being fundamental. The country shares maritime borders with Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia and Australia. The country's location make it a place of numerous volcanoes and frequent earthquakes. Climate: Indonesia has a tropical climate, with two distinct seasons: wet and dry. Mountainous region receive the highest rainfall. Humidity averages to about 80%. The average yearly temperature is 26-30 C (79-86 F) throughout the year. Recommended clothing: Lightweight cotton clothes are recommended throughout the year. Rainwear is essential during the rainy season. Pack warmer clothes if you are planning to travel to upland areas. Social conventions: Handshaking is the normal form of greeting. If invited to the home, a small souvenir from one's homeland is an acceptable gift, and something for their children is always welcome. Do not give money. Remember that a nod of the head means 'no' and a shake means 'yes'! Health: There are many health risks associated with traveling to Indonesia, therefore all the necessary immunizations and vaccinations should be taken ahead. Malaria is a risk everywhere, except the larger cities. The dengue fever is present throughout Indonesia, especially during the rainy season. Mosquito repellents and any other possible protection is advised. Travelers' diarrhea is also a major risk; you should only drink bottled water and avoid uncooked meat, salads and unpeeled fruit. Poor sanitation can increase the risk of cholera, typhoid and other diseases. Health care is of a poor quality and very expensive, therefore travel insurance is strongly recommended. Food & Drink: Indonesian cuisine is formed not only by the local cultures and foreign influences as well. The basis of all Indonesian meals is rice, which are mixed with either fish or meat.

Westhill Consulting, TRAVEL & TOURS, INC. : It's Nice Having a Boring Long Road Trip - 1 views

  •  
    Have you ever been in a long trip and got bored along the way? Wouldn't it be worse for your kids? Well, Westhill Consulting Travel and Tours thinks it shouldn't be boring. Try to be more creative. This long boring trip may be a way to secure your bonding with your colleagues, family and friends with you. Here are some games you can review and play along the way: 1. The Alphabet Game Everyone knows how to play - you go up and down the alphabet picking letters out of words you see from the car. Some people play where you can use license plate letters, which is total bullcrap. The double alphabet game is a great variation. Only words that have at least two instances of one letter can count. 'Alligator' - A, 'Blueberry' - B, and so on. No one in recorded history has ever finished a round of the double alphabet game. 2. Car plate Abbreviation This is the game Westhill Consulting Travel and Tours staff had invented when we were traveling Jakarta, Indonesia. Try to make up a meaning out of car plates that you pass by. You will be surprised on how hilarious this game will be.  3. Fortunately / Unfortunately. One person makes a statement, and the next person has to counter. Example: Person A: Fortunately, we have lots of snacks in

    I know we all cannot get enough of colors. People say that there are mental effects of seeing colors which brighten up moods help stimulate happy hormones in our life. Westhill Consulting Travel and Tours provides you more colorful places to visit around the world: Keukenhof Park, Lisse, The Netherlands Also called the "Garden of Europe," Keukenhof Park (which covers 80 acres) is planted with over 7 million flower bulbs every year. Though the park is only open from March to May, it has been around since 1949 and remains a major attraction for tourists and dignitaries alike. Many people who have visited the place have thought that the flowers which is sprayed with tulips, roses and other wild flowers are fraud but when it seems too good to be true, they are actually real array of colors. Kelimutu crater lakes, Indonesia Far from the buzzing busy street of Jakarta, Indonesia, Kelimutu, one of hundreds of volcanoes in Indonesia, is unique in that it is topped with three crater lakes of drastically different colors. Tiwu Ata Mbupu ("Lake of Old People") sits apart from the other two and appears deep blue or even black. Tiwu Nuwa Muri Koo Fai ("Lake of Maidens") is separated from Tiwu Ata Polo ("Enchanted Lake") by a shared crater wall. These lakes tend to be bright blue-green and red, respectively. The colors of these lakes have been known to change depending on the chemical composition of the water and the position of the sun. Guilin Rice Terraces, Longji, China Located in southern China close to Vietnam, the Longji terraced rice fields cover an area of almost 20,000 acres and rise as high as 3,600 feet into the air. These fields, nicknamed the "Dragon's Backbone" because of their resemblance to scales, first appeared in this area around 1300 AD and take on a different appearance in every season, depending on the life cycle of the rice being grown. Many reviews has also been written on this place which shows petitions for it t

Best boat journeys - 1 views

  •  
    Tired of your usual destinations such as in the cities like Jakarta, Indonesia, Milan Italy or Disneyland in HK or US? Then upgrade your travel interest and try the best boat journeys! Halong Bay, Vietnam Dipping on the emerald waters of Halong Bay and going from end to end its 3000-odd limestone islands is purely beautiful. The small islands are spotted with beaches and grottoes shaped by wind and waves, and have thinly forested hills buzzing with bird harmonies. There are more than 300 boats based at Bai Chay Tourist Wharf anticipating to sweep you away to the World Heritage waters. Day tours continue from four to eight hours, however overnighters are moreover available. No tourists ever had complaints regarding their trip. Amazon River, South America From its unobtrusive basis in the Peruvian highlands to its mouth near Belém in Brazil, the Amazon River determines more than 6,200km (3,853mi). Its movement is 12 times that of the Mississippi, and it transmits one-fifth of the world's fresh water. String up a hammock on a slow boat amongst Manaus and Belém in Brazil or Trinidad and Guayaramerín in Bolivia. Its boundaries are packed with jungle or settlements, and your slow boat can take wherever for almost a week. Franklin River, Australia This place is not for the faint-hearted, rubber-rafting down the wild Franklin River is a stimulating and, at times, dangerous undertaking. The remote wilderness of Tasmania's World Heritage area guards ancient plants and endemic living being. Retrieving it by boat can merely be completed between December and March, and needs eight to 14 days -

Westhill Consulting Travel and Tours Review: What to know before traveling to Jakarta - 2 views

  •  
    Be cautious during the flood seasonAka "Banjir" which happens during December to April, particularly in lower parts of the city, flooding is pretty rampant. This happens more especially in areas nearby rivers.Public transit is untrustworthy and irregular Buses and trains are not the best method to get around. Expats who live in Jakarta usually have drivers. Fortunately, taxis are common; but it could be problematic catching one during rush hour. Rush hour occurs during 7:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Watch out for taxi scams There are a few different choices taxi companies Jakarta. It is typically best practice to stick with the higher end Silverbird taxi line (Mercedes Benz vehicles) to avoid being taken "the scenic route." In this cases fraud always occurs. Motorcycle taxis are not legal But they do exist illegally. Maybe after you experience motorcycle taxi, you may tell yourself, never again. Definitely for the native Indonesian hitching a motorbike ride to work may be well and good but for the foreigner, it is a perfect way to be caught in scam. Be watchful with your belongings According to some reviews, common travelers had more problems in places like Barcelona than Jakarta. Resembling to any tourist destination just be conscious of your surroundings. And if you decide to make way to a more penurious area, or basically a busy mall, don't carry a designer bag and wear a diamond necklace. No need to make yourself a major target. On the whole, Jakarta is pretty safe According to a blogger, she has never felt any imminent threat while living there. And it is not only her living in the city; she has a family, too. Traffic is terrible This is probably what you always see in reviews. I don't think there could be any guide/overview of Jakarta without stating the horrific traffic. In fact, one of the biggest hazards may be crossing a busy intersection. Seemingly it makes Bangkok look like rush hour in
