    Bombs in the US

    It's now been called an "act of terrorism" but no international group has yet claimed responsibility for it. The good news is that all 29 injury victims have been released from hospital. The stabbing incident in Minnesota has been claimed by Islamic State with the suspected attacker making...

    Bombs in the US

    Yes, I agree completely. I feel sorry for anyone in Syria fighting over who owns a country full of rubble

    Bombs in the US

    Maybe the families of the soldiers who were killed fighting ISIS will be complaining as well

    Westerner deported from Singapore for doing same day visa run

    SF was held there for 3 hours before being placed on a flight back to Jakarta along with a letter from Singaporean Immigration explaining that he had been denied entry into their country. He was met on the plane by Indonesian Immigration officers in Jakarta and put in a detention cell in...

    Homebrewing... and other mysterious potions

    I've PM'd you BA. Yes, banana and coconut water wine sounds great to me and it would be really cheap as well. I'm sure the locals will help me test it out so it can be improved over time

    Homebrewing... and other mysterious potions

    I assume you can make wine from virtually anything can't you ? We sometimes have crackdowns in our area so it would make sense to try although I've no experience whatsoever at making wine. I'm just thinking in mango season we are quite often given half a sack of mangoes but I suppose I could...

    Not So Healthy Food For The Holiday

    The cows in that photo look like they should either be moved from their current environment or put down to me. I can't imagine many people being happy to eat meat from any of those cows if they knew where the meat had come from but there's obviously no chance that if anyone sells the meat from...

    Indonesian law at its finest.

    I bought quite a few copy shirts a few years ago in Thailand. When I wore them down the pub in the evenings in England I got quite a few comments about how smart I looked compared to normal just because the shirts had designer names on them. I'm sure if the names weren't on them nobody would...

    Unbelievable how the places shown in the pictures could get in that state in the first place

    Up close and personal with Indonesia's critters

    The millipedes are called lipan where I am and there is a mad panic anytime anyone sees one. Even when one is killed and burnt my wife still won't go anywhere near it. One time travelling on a boat I slept on the roof and woke with my eye really painful and swollen and it stayed swollen for 3...

    Girls were for breeding purposes only

    When a woman wearing a burka boards a plane are they taken into a private room by a female officer so that they can prove that their passport or identity card belongs to them and not somebody else ? I assume this must be the case but I can't remember seeing anyone being called aside but maybe...

    Air Asia flight flew to the wrong airport!

    Their tag line "We make people fly" always makes me think of groups of Lion Air employees driving around kidnapping people as they're walking down the road and bundling them blindfolded into the back of a van before they find out they've been put on a plane.

    Birds

    Round our way rats are called tikus besar. My wife's real name (not the name used on a daily basis) is Ratna so I taught my kids to remember the difference between mouse and rat by calling my wife a tikus besar. I think that's one of many reasons why my wife isn't too upset to see me leave...

    Garuda Jakarta to London stopover in Singapore

    Thanks for the info though jstar, at least I know now. Even Garuda couldn't tell me what would happen in Singapore. I verified your quote by putting the whole thing into Google because I wasn't sure what to search for. I was told on Tuesday that I had to change my flight because I'd booked it...

    Photographs from around the region...

    You packed in quite a lot in 3 weeks then. I think Abo was working in Bomba last time I was there but she comes to our house if she's in Wakai. I think I can say my wife's name on here because she doesn't use the forum, no internet where we are but I'll leave it for the moment. I've never...

    They're All So Beautiful, Mixed Kids

    I had to explain what racism was to my wife before she came to England because I was worried that she would encounter it while she was here. I'm pleased to say that as far as I know, she had no problems but racism has always confused me. My wife was given a bottle of wine and a necklace with a...
