Its exactly a month after my previous come back post.... well...nothing much happened in this one month...except for that i am in Palu, Central Sulawesi and was jobless for about 10 days due to ramzan festivities...took this opportunity to fly down to Manado, North Sulawesi.
The reputation of this place is best explained by the 5 B's - Bubur Manado, Bibir Manado, Bunaken, Boulevard and Bankrupt. Bubur manado is a local breakfast dish made of cereals etc, bibir mando - pls do google search, Bunaken is a famous diving spot, Boulevard is a most happening part of the city and Bankrupt - well u go to mandao once, then u will know. Got to experience everything except for Bunaken. And yes, i had to file bankrupcy when i reached back palu.
Visited Manado to say goodbye to one of my colleagues who is leaving indonesia for good.... drove down to a place called Tondano after lunch..... there is a huge lake in the midst of hills....was quite a view from the lakeside restaurant where we stopped by..... and this palce has natural hot springs all over the place.... thanks to the active/inactive volcanoes spread all over this part of the world.... there are places where they have built bathing pits (ofcourse inside a room) where u can bathe as much as u want to in the natural hot spring water..... these places even serve grilled corn.... the place where i went was pretty decent....but one has to carry his own towel....as DNA says in H2G2G. the Bath costed me 1$. exchanged a couple of cans of beer for a local wine.was quite an experience.
will see if i can upload a few pics....
