Indonesia

We are now in Pontianak in Indonesia. Pontianak straddles the equator. Our guidebook has actually marked the equator on the city map. The place we are staying at is several hundred meters south of the equator. Some of my first impressions of Indonesia are that it is chaotic, confusing, very poor, and even more friendly than it is poor. We are trying to figure out our travel plans for our stay here. It is definitely a case of too many cool things to see and too little time to do it in.
