@ Rho just wait til July when you walk outside and instantly sweat. I lived in HK for four years. Used to walk quickly from air conditioned store to air conditioned store. On the side streets with no airflow, it is stifling and sometimes you feel like you can't breathe. Saw many tourists pass out. 37-40C with 97% humidity and a heat index of 50C or more is not enjoyable for long periods of time. And the typhoons are fun. School cancelled on heavy rain days (red or black warning and 100-200 mm in a few hours) or number 8 typhoon warning.
@ Frank, yep hello mistered to death but it's not so bad as 15 years ago. Lombok has some really pushy sellers especially on the way to Gili T and I've been in physical fights there (how many times do I have to say no I don't want to buy mushrooms or ganja? Jancok! LOL). There are a lot of Australian tourists in Bali that have no fucking manners. Sitting everywhere in temples, smoking or drinking beer on altars, stepping on or kicking Canang sari (offerings) everywhere, disrespecting local customs or culture. I always laugh my ass off when a monkey steals their shit and breaks it or plays with it and the Aussie can't get it back.
One of my friends is coming from the US so I will be heading to your neck of the woods. I guess we'll be hitting Yogya, Borobudur/Prambanan, Solo, Magelang, Salatiga, Semarang, and Jepara before going back to East Java and then Bali. If you see a grey Avanza with an N licence plate and some crazy bule driver yelling and swearing in Javanese that will be me. :D
