9 thousand kilometers away my home, I visited the country of cheerful and friendly brothers and sisters. Indonesia is made up of ethnic groups with many different languages, religions and cultures. From the temples of Borobudur and Prambanan in Yogyakarta to the monkey forests in Bali, I tell you about what I saw. In this episode there is footage of the Blue Fire and miners at the Ijen volcano.
Next stop: Yogyakarta! Discover the architectural wonders of Borobudur and Prambanan, followed by an escape into the wild forests of Bali. Part 2 of my Indonesia vlog is all about ancient history, breathtaking nature, and the heartwarming local culture.
Stepping into a world 9,000 kilometers away! My Indonesian adventure begins in the vibrant capital, Jakarta. In this first part of my travel series, I explore the contrast between modern skyscrapers and traditional culture, sharing my first impressions of this smiling nation’s heart.
I suggest we swap bikes. I have a mountain bike, after all. The tires are thick and knobby. They really grip the pavement. Hakan’s city bike, on the other hand, has thin tires that just slide along the asphalt.
The people of Van call Lake Van “the sea.” It is said that the lake water is good for skin diseases. If scientific evidence is provided, health tourism could develop here. Because the water is soda and salty, only one endemic fish species (the pearl mullet) can survive in it. Swimming in this wave-free lake is enjoyable, but when I got out, I felt as if I had an oily film on my skin and wanted to take a shower with fresh water. One needs to get used to the soda water.
