Description
beautiful beaches, great underwater views, delicious foods, kind people, and you will surely get blacked instead of tanned! lol

i went to saumlaki in yamdena island in tanimbar islands in maluku tenggara barat, which the majority (~90%) is catholic.
i went to saparua in saparua island in lease islands, maluku tengah, which the majority (~80%) is protestant.
i went to ambon.
and i can only say: "great!" to the views, people, and cultures.

you MUST go to maluku! =)

these are some of my photos in saumlaki & pintu kota ambon.
i will also upload some of my photos in saparua..

and if you want to look at other photos, you can see them at my fb

i shall be extra hati2.

there seems to be increased interest in maluku recently. besides people from this site, i've also had a number of clients who want to set up businesses there.

frankly, myself, saya masih trauma.

did you go to any muslim-majority areas?

people believes that the riot happened because some people (from outside maluku) provoked them. now live in peace and based on my experience, they have far far far more tolerance and peace then people in medan (the majority still racist) and even people in java. =)

they thought that i was moslem and they were still very nice to me, for example they try to give non-pork foods to me. after a week, we prayed together and suddenly they realized that i am christian and they say "ya ampuuunnn!! kami sengaja cari ayam untuk makanan". lol..

moreover they welcome investors from outside maluku with open hands. a swiss bule set up a luxury diving resort in saparua, make the site closed to public. instead of hate and protest, the locals respect "mister cool" and love his resort.

next week there will be world-christmas day (hari perayaan natal sedunia) in one kampong, ulath, in saparua. there will be a lot of dutch and european there for several days. too bad i have to return to bandung early =(

anyway, i went to some moslem villages but did not spent a night there so i did not know much about their lives..

Business Buzzed
an acceptable level of intoxication for business situations.
#1 There was an open bar but my boss was there so I could only get business buzzed.
# 2 We were slammed with TPS reports so we decided to crack open a couple beers and get business buzzed.
