, the sun shines, the weekend is ahead. Is there a better way to spend free time, as far away from the stresses of city life unwinding some rays at the beach or cooling on a mountainside to control?
Jakarta residents are spoiled for choice when it comes off at the weekends. There are beaches, nature, indigenous tribes, volcanoes and history all pretty close.
Anak Krakatau by Angela Richardson
There must be large, a morning wake up and decide yep, I need a beach and decide to head off to Anyer Carita or really on the west coast of the province of Banten. undoubtedly one of the advantages of living in Southeast Asia Feel the fine sand between your toes, is watching the sunset. What these fishing villages particularly makes more, is to know that just on the horizon, the mean and moody Krakatau looms.
For the installer there is a trip to the Baduy homes in the foothills of Gunung Labak in Halimun. They can no longer be isolated tribe she even a decade ago. More and more visitors have come in and have to raise their mark on the Baduy people with signs of modernization in the more accessible villages.
They are still far away when a human zoo. It is possible, with a guide to hike some of the villages and experience a lifestyle to his old habits cling. Barefoot young people scurrying up and down steep slopes with the agility and confidence of a mountain goat up to a dozen durians over her shoulder wearing nothing.
take for the most part with carry on their lives little interest in the visitors who come to take a few pictures, buy the obligatory t-shirt before but rely increasingly decide the night in a rustic, strictly to keep villages, to allow the guests.
ornithologists from around the world flock to Pulau Dua, home to several spectacular ways. Although the best time is time for a visit in March / April, when a large number of migratory birds for a break on their long journeys stop there enough interest to keep for several early morning every moderate twitcher.
course Pulau Dua with its numerous feathered creatures, civets and various reptiles is no match for Ujong Kulon, which provides the Javan rhinoceros of its people. Not many of them of course, and chances are, they are not so simple, but the slightest chance to see one, ensures a steady trickle of visitors to the remote peninsula.
Yes, many things to see and do right on the Jakarta right outside the door.
The problem is that while Indonesia's economy is very nice thank you chug along, investment has failed keep in infrastructure step. Foreign investors have complained about the congestion in the ports and airports long. And if Jakarta, the capital, has been struggling to cope effectively, what price is the rest of the country pay?
Banten province, home Surkano Hatta Airport, strategically located between Jakarta and the neighboring island of Sumatra. The infrastructure connecting the two, although struggles to cope. News of delays at the port of Merak on the Sunda Strait are a regular occurrence. The toll road, which is fed to the traffic on the second largest island of the country filled with buses and trucks, turning it into a mad dash for the nearest exit.
Get off that artery and things much worse. The road from Cilegon south to the beaches of Anyer and Carita suffers from the heavy trucks that serve the factories in the region. Many other "main roads" are the width of a Jakartan band and on the weekends they tend to fill up quickly, as markets spilled on the street and parked cars to reduce the flow to a single track.
Against this background, it is no wonder Jakartans look elsewhere for their rest and relaxation. Since deregulation of the aviation industry in Indonesia and the introduction of low-cost airlines to get luckily this by searching for the city, will be faced with more and more options.
Bali course is an obvious choice. Two hours from the airport and you can drive through photogenic Sawah. stuck two hours outside Jakarta, and you are still behind a truck belching noxious black smoke.
low-cost airlines bring people closer to the region as well. Direct flights connect to destinations such as Phuket beaches, Penang history, Kota Kinabalu Mountain and even Ho Chi Minh City.
It's not just expats course. Indonesians are increasingly traveling abroad and they are all not interested in shopping and buy refrigerator magnets.
And why not? For all its faults, Jakarta airport is working fairly well and remain why stuck in a traffic jam for several hours, only a few hundred miles to go when at the same time that you enjoy in another country your downtime could be showered and refreshed.
There large billboards, people to visit Banten and its attractions and it's easy enough to admonish it employs people to keep for several days. Unfortunately, the infrastructure or lack, makes many people think twice, and that's a shame.
