Download or read book Traveler s Companion Indonesia written by Chris Taylor and published by . This book was released on 1998-08 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sensuous, exotic, and incredibly diverse, the Indonesian archipelago stretches for more than 5,000 km (3,200 miles) along the equator. Like lumps of rough-hewn jade on a velvet field of blue, its 13,600 islands have captured the imagination of travelers for centuries. Redolent of romance and the scent of drying cloves, Indonesia is the largest country in Southeast Asia. But one need not travel far to experience Indonesia's diversity. Tea plantations blanketing the slops of dormant volcanoes are only a few hours drive from coastal waters where lanteen-rigged prahus set sail much as they did centuries ago when the first Arabian traders arrived. As you page through "Traveler's Indonesia Companion", you will travel deep into a country of colorful contrast where temple cities bear silent witness to the greatness of vanished civilizations and costumed rituals dating back hundreds of years proceed amid the distant roar of jet aircraft. In the "Traveler's Indonesia Companion", the authors explore this vast archipelago from the riverine jungles of Borneo and the Dutch canals of old Batavia to the mist-shrouded mountain valleys of Irian Jaya where stone age tribes barely a generation removed from head-hunting still pursue a life of subsistence farming. Whether you are dreaming from an armchair or booking your flight, the Traveler's Indonesia Companion guides deliver the best information and guidance for exploring this breathtaking destination.

Download or read book The Traveler s Companion Guide to Bali 1998 written by Bradley Winterton and published by . This book was released on 1998-05 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since Western artists first discovered Bali in the 1930s, the island has been hailed as an earthly Paradise. Those early visitors were fascinated by a people who danced in flower-laden temples under the full moon and worshipped volcanoes. Today, the incomparable arts of the Balinese and the life of sun and surf together make the island one of Asia's prime tourist destinations. It attracts four-fifths of Indonesia's tourists alone. The Traveler's Bali Companion, with a thoroughness never before achieved, surveys both sides of this exotic land. Whether you want to know where to stay, where and what to eat, how to calculate the dates of the great temple festivals, or where the surf breaks best, this guide will not only tell you in up-to-the-minute detail, but will also provide you with in-depth cultural background.

Download or read book What You Need to Know Before You Travel to Indonesia written by Non Fiction Author and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indonesia sits centrally on the equator and is surrounded by Malaysia, East Timor, Papua New Guinea, Singapore, the Philippines, Australia, Palau, Vietnam, Thailand, and India. A plethora of cultures have added to Indonesia's history, going back to Chinese and Indian traders in the 1st century AD. Marco Polo was the first European to land at Sumatra, and later in their search for the legendary Spice Islands, Portuguese and Spanish explorers also learned of Indonesia. Starting in the late 1500's, the Dutch held the islands for three centuries and the islands were commonly termed the Dutch East Indies. In 1945, the Indonesian people declared independence and they officially achieved statehood in 1950. In many ways a young and forward looking country, Indonesia embraces all of its diverse population and traditions under the banner of 'One Country, One Nation'. Of Indonesia's multitude of islands, about 6,000 can be considered inhabited. The six main islands one is likely to visit are Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan (the Indonesian portion of the island of Borneo), Bali, Sulawesi (formerly Celebes), and Papua (the western half of New Guinea Island). We also include information in this guide for the Maluku island group (also called the Moluccas, the original spice islands) and the Nusa Tengarra Islands. While many vacationers, especially those with limited time, might concentrate on an area developed for tourism such as Java or Bali, one could easily spend a month or more and barely begin to discover some of Indonesia's hidden corners and remote treasures.

Download or read book Practical Indonesian in a Week written by Restiany Achmad and published by Kesaint Blanc. This book was released on 2015-02-06 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to Indonesia! Indonesia is the home to approximately 240 million people, spread across more than 17,500 islands with at least 500 tribes, and more than 700 languages. With such diversity and a vast sea territory including many smaller islands, the Indonesian archipelago provides a rich and unique experience for you to explore. “Ladies and gentlemen, good morning... This is your opportunity,” said President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) in his speech during his first international diplomatic mission (APEC 2014). That pretty much reflects how we Indonesians want to open-up our country to you. In the past there have only been a limited number of resources available that provide a comprehensive, easy to use introduction to Indonesian language, and many of those efforts by foreign authors and publishers lack native insights and local cultural knowledge. Practical Indonesian in a Week was designed primarily to achieve these goals. First, the book was written by two smart and experienced Indonesian native expatriate tutors. Second, the book was designed using a structure that will help you to quickly understand the basics of Indonesian language and culture with plenty of practical examples. It has the same structure as the best-selling foreign language learning books published by Kesaint Blanc: The Praktis 1 Minggu series. The culture and language learning method that Practical Indonesian in a Week provides will be very helpful for you, say as an expatriate, a traveler, or even for short time visitors. It provides applicable information, useful vocabulary, practical conversation examples, daily grammar sections, and some exercises you can do to better understand the language. Nevertheless, its traveling & visiting themes will be a good companion for you while visiting the rich culture and Indonesia’s hospitable people. Practical Indonesian in a Week also provides an audio CD narrated by native speakers, so you can easily understand how to pronounce Indonesian words and expression provided by the book, not to mention getting yourself more acquainted to the new language sounds. Enjoy your stay in our beautiful country!
