cinchedwaist7 Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 cinched i don't really have any suggestions for phones i didn't have problems finding internet connectivity and i know that my bf and her man have a cell phone and their number is like, 16 digits long. i think they bought some crazy phone in hong kong. if you want, i can email my bf and ask her specifically what kind of phone she has and who her provider is i don't hear from her very often but it's been awhile so she'll prolly get back to me soon asia is so on top of technology i think it won't really be a problem The thing is, it's not so much the provider but the fact that i'm going to be in the middle of the forest/jungle for a month and don't know if I can even get reception. I know some gsm phones work in such areas, and the satellite phones for sure, but those are way more expensive. I wouldn't be worried if i was staying in a big city or something. thanks for the help tho :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Internerd Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 there are 4 dudes names in indonesia. they're assigned in order of birth. it's hillariously accurate. This is only in Bali, it's a Balinese Hindu thing, the rest of Indonesia is mostly Muslim. Also the names change depending on class, but most Balinese are from the lowest class though so every fourth person tends to have the same name. The firstborn is "Wayan", second is "Made," third is "Nyoman", and fourth is "Ketut". Shit gets confusing at times. When did you visit Bali Seeking? I've been living in Bali for about 5 months now, shits pritty much the realest when it comes to everything. Chinched you should definitely take the time to come here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosluggo Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Traveling from the USA to Indonesia,you will cross over the International Date Line and loose 1 day's time. Passport must be valid 6 months from date of entry into Indonesia. It is advisable to consult a doctor and obtain the proper vaccinations before going to Indonesia. MALARIA DOES EXIST IN SUMATRA.

serum Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 malaria pills are a waste of time. they sometimes make you drowsy and give you an upset stomach which are not things that you want while traveling. the chance of getting infected is pretty small.

Stereotype V.0002 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 If you aren’t going to be in the tourist traps, look out for the religious police, Jemaah Islamiyah, and anyone with a machete who is asking if you are a Christian (the correct answer would be ‘no’). And Hambali, I heard he is a dick. I’m assuming you have this planned out pretty well since your going to be in the jungle on Java. Don’t advertise you’re American, don’t broadcast where you are going to anyone, try to stay aware of your surroundings and other common sense-related things. Here are some things to glance over you’ve probably already seen http://www.thejakartapost.com/national.asp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jemaah_Islamiyah http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/row/RL32394.pdf important - http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/tw/tw_918.html and plenty of info on here - http://www.usembassyjakarta.org contact them when you get there to let them know where your going, for how long, etc and they should be able to give you the low down on what is safe and whatnot (again you have probably done this already, hopefully). Have fun and try not to get kidnapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serum Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 i looked and i still have my malaria pills the warning says may cause dizziness, do not drive should avoid the sun should avoid caffeine containing drinks should avoid alcohol which are all almost impossible. theres a very little chane of getting infected even if bitten with a malaria carrying mosquito so dont feel its mandatory to take the pills have fun and take pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
