On Friday my departure, I sat down in the economy-train (not recommended, some people have not yet times found a place on the floor) to Jakarta, where I 9 hours later in the Touristenstr. Jl. Jaksa arrived. Luckily, a room was found quickly ... namely in the same hostel, where Gintas (the volunteers, who also taught in PIP) had stayed, I found several hours later surprised.
passed the time in Jakarta quite fast and actually I have not done much there to visit again to Monas, National Monument, Jakarta and getting used to transport (see photo) a try. Then it went
even to the airport and after a tearful farewell began the return flight on our seatmate Dubai chance to Hamburg came from Indonesia. By the nice conversation with him passed the time in the truest sense, as in flight.
On arrival in Germany, there was a almost as big culture shock for me in Indonesia ... the roads were far too empty, nowhere man, the call after a rigid and "Misterrr, Misterrrr, the refrigerator-like temperatures and all the little warungs with delicious Indonesian food is also missing.
was not until I was back in Germany, became aware quite how much I got used to the Indonesian life ... even if it often were things I did not like. Therefore, it is now called only once for me, me again found in Germany deal and save on the next flight to Indonesia ...

The clock is ticking and to the return flight leaves only 4 days. Unbelievable how fast time flies.

Reply For An Interview

Karimun Jawa

often comes unexpectedly, and therefore, the 2 weeks of vacation, I wanted to do before my departure from Indonesia, extended unexpectedly to an entire month. This was not because I suddenly caught the travel bug, but queuing as the exam at the university. When I So in a very normal Monday to the office of PIP was to wait for my time, namely me to say again that I teach because of the exam is no longer able (what I would have maybe a little earlier can tell) was.
Nja, in any case, I stood there with a lot of free time and no plan is what I do with it. However, a solution was found fairly quickly, because Gintas (the other volunteer who has taught with me in PIP) should lead a work camp on Karimun Jawa and so was quickly the decision taken by the volunteers to assist there.
It also started all very relaxed, it's when we entgegenschipperten on the ferry about 6 hours to the archipelago. We received beautiful views of mountains, palm trees and white sand beaches and welcomed in our home stay accommodation waiting for us with plenty of delicious Indonesian food fresh fish. To make the perfect idyll, there was not even network coverage for mobile phones, so we seemed to be exempt from any kind of stress ... until the moment where there for my taste was a bit too idyllic then. When I namely the way to the ATM (I was of course before I had gone to Karimun Jawa, inquired about it, it's there) asked, I got in response to hearing only that there had been times when a project that actually Karimun Jawa at an ATM would have to install, but like the one in Indonesia is just the way it has not yet worked out then ... perhaps at some point. - "Someday?" ... If one only has to buy at 20 euros for 7 days accommodation and meals, one hears the word not very happy. Fortunately
was then still a settlement with the homestay owner and the holiday did not have to be stopped after 1.5 days. Enough money even for a trip to another island, including snorkeling. The coral reefs were really great and there was to see many small and medium-sized colorful fish. The highlight came at the end. Namely, we had the opportunity to swim in a pool with sharks and turtles. At first it was quite a strange feeling something, and I hoped that the sharks do not confuse me with her lunch would. Apparently they were but that day has already been well fed, because they made no attempt to hijack my toe as a snack.
When I'm not swimming in shark tank, I spent a week in paradise, deserted beaches and coconut milk from self-opened and sipped some plucked coconuts. YUM!
