Tangkuban Parahu, Indonesia - 14th March 2008
By: aliah
We're at Tangkuban Perahu Volcanoe. The volcanoe was name as it is due to its shape if seen from far. Tangkuban Perahu when directly translated is UP-SIDE DOWN BOAT. If I'm not mistaken there are about 12 craters in total. Some craters are still active and a few are off to tourist since they produce toxic gas.

Sari Ater (or Ciater) is located at approximately 1500 meters above sea level on the slope of Mount Tangkuban Parahu. It has fresh mountain air and natural hot spring water, delivered from Mount Tangkuban Parahu. The natural hot spring water contains sulphate, calcium, and other minerals, which believed can relief skin, muscle, and bone problems such as rheumatical disease. The temperature of the water varies between 28 to 45 degrees Celcius. I tried to soak my feet but the water is too hot for me

Kuching, Malaysia - 12th June 2008
By: aliah
I'm now in Kuching along with Yuki & Lady. Kuching literally means ‘cat’ (kucing) in Malay language which is the capital city of Sarawak. Sarawak is one of two Malaysian states on the island of Borneo. Known as Bumi Kenyalang (‘Land of the Hornbills’), it is situated on the north-west of the island. It is the largest state in Malaysia.
I'm facing the Sarawak River or Sungai Sarawak. It is an important source of water and transportation for the inhabitants in southwestern Sarawak. The local people take a tambang (sampan) boat across the river to town as you can see in the second picture.

Malay House SCV, Malaysia - 12th June 2008
By: aliah
I am teaching Yuki how to play "congkak". It is a game of wit played by womenfolk in ancient times that required no more than holes in the earth and tamarind seeds. Today, it has been refined to a board game. It consists of a wooden board with two rows of five, seven, or nine holes and two large holes at both ends called "home". Congkak, played with shells, pebbles or tamarind seeds, requires two players. We're playing with nine holes & pebbles.
