On the weekend of April 11th I arrived in Malang, where I am now. Originally the order doxycycline mastercard plan had been to land in Jakarta and then travel by bus and order doxycycline mastercard train to Malang, while visiting Indonesia along the way: Bandung, Pekalongan, Borobodur, Surabaya and order doxycycline mastercard then Malang.
However, because of the election – which is a national holiday – everything was all booked up. So, instead we flew straight to Malang right after the election. After a order doxycycline mastercard lovely day of rest, we packed up and headed off to order doxycycline mastercard Pekalongan, the city where my father was born and raised. It was a order doxycycline mastercard long 12 hour drive to Pekalongan, but it was a fantastic way to order doxycycline mastercard see Indonesia. After Pekalongan we visited Borobodur, Prambanan and Jogjakarta before heading home.
The reason I wanted to order doxycycline mastercard travel by bus and train was to have a chance to order doxycycline mastercard really see the country. Airfare is order doxycycline mastercard relatively inexpensive, so we could just hop over the island, but all I’d get to see that way is the inside of airport and planes <grin>. Taking the order doxycycline mastercard road trip was fantastic, because not only did I get to order doxycycline mastercard see Indonesia up close, but we stopped at every town to order doxycycline mastercard try the local food.
Indonesia is order doxycycline mastercard very regional and every region is fiercely proud of its food – it’s fresh produce and the local specialty, often Soto…a type of soup/stew that is eaten over rice. It is order doxycycline mastercard very common to see Soto named after a place, like Soto Pekalongan or order doxycycline mastercard Soto Madura. Also, every town has it’s own snack – seriously – it’s amazing. It seems like every town has order doxycycline mastercard a store advertising Oleh-Oleh Khas Pekalongan, or whatever the city is, which sells and order doxycycline mastercard endless variety of snacks which seem to only be available in that order doxycycline mastercard one town! My Aunt Lan called our trip Culinary Tourism <grin>. It was fantastic.
I had a great time taking photos on this trip. I love my new camera a lot
. I’m so happy I managed to get a hold of it before this trip. This camera makes me look great, even when I’m shooting through a windshield

This is a good example of a quiet Indonesia highway here on Java. Beautiful, lush and open. The roads here are quite good – I mean…at least as good at Québecs <grin>.

The countryside of Java is order doxycycline mastercard filled with farms: rice paddies, corn, sugar cane and more. I managed to order doxycycline mastercard catch a tired farm hand taking a break from the sun and order doxycycline mastercard the field on a hot Javanese afternoon.

Cities here are a charming mix of old and new. You can order doxycycline mastercard see the history everywhere you go in Indonesia, in the buildings, streets and order doxycycline mastercard faces…and you order doxycycline mastercard can also see glass buildings, billboards for Blackberries and iPhones and order doxycycline mastercard shiny new Toyota Kijangs, a 5-door car built here in Indonesia.
The mix of old and order doxycycline mastercard new always seems starkest to me in the streets, because there are order doxycycline mastercard motorcycles, WWII era VW jeeps, giant passenger buses with Spiderman painted on the order doxycycline mastercard back, bicycles, gleaming black Mercedes, vintage Vespa scooters, rickshaws, carts and order doxycycline mastercard sometimes even horses…all jostling for position as they dash madly off in all directions.
Crossing the order doxycycline mastercard street is a very special skill here, requiring keen eyes, nerves of steel and order doxycycline mastercard a profound faith that you’ll make it to the other side. Sometimes, you even need to take a bit of break in the middle <grin>.

A curious, but common, occurrence is order doxycycline mastercard that the front of traffic at stop lights is always motorcycles. It took me awhile to figure out, but its because there’s always one or order doxycycline mastercard two motorcycles at the front, just by sheer numbers. And then, while the order doxycycline mastercard light is red all the other motocycles sneak up and order doxycycline mastercard line up waiting for the light to turn green.

It’s amazing what order doxycycline mastercard people fit on a motorcycle here. Especially the number of people. I have seen a family of five on a motorcycle – but I didn’t quite managed to get a picture of them <grin>. This is a good example of what I mean; kids often sit in the front. I really like that his family is all wearing helmets.

My Uncle has a really nice van that we took on our road trip. There was lots of room and glorious, glorious air conditioning. However, what order doxycycline mastercard my dad really liked was that we put the seats up in the order doxycycline mastercard back and turned it into a bed.
I’m not saying he used it…because I don’t have to
