Aceh Trave Guide
Of all the regions in Indonesia, Aceh, at the northwestern
end of Sumatra, is the first to have come into contact with the world outside.
Chinese chronicles of as early as the sixth century A.D. spoke of a kingdom on
the northern tip of Sumatra named Po-Li. Several Arabic writings of the early
ninth century, and later inscriptions found in India also mentioned the area.
In
1292, Marco Polo, the famous Venetian adventurer, on a voyage from China to
Persia visited Sumatra and reported that on the northern part of Sumatera there
were as many as six trading ports including Ferlec, Samudera and Lambri. The
irony is that this area, which had for so many centuries maintained contact
with
others, is at present one of the least known of Indonesia even among
Indonesians.[MORE....]
Give Peace a Chance Pulau Weh, Indonesia
The
monkeys were out in full force this morning, shimmying along the electrical
wires strung through the trees, leaping nimbly up tree trunks and swinging from
branch to branch. Tiny hairy human beings with an equal lack of morality.
Looking for bananas and whatever else they can find. It is Friday, the Muslim
holy day, today. No boats will be out on the water until noon. I sat under the
thatch-roof gazebo around the communal restaurant table, sipping my morning
Acehnese coffee with a couple of interesting blokes from London I met last
night. They had displayed an impressive knowledge of Trailer Park Boys, just
about the funniest thing going in Canadian comedy (and with exports like Jim
Carey, Eugene Levy of American Pie fame, and Mike Meyers, "Austin Powers,"
Canada has a hell of a lot of good stuff). [MORE....]Another Hidden Paradise in
Sabang, Aceh, Indonesia
This is my unexpected trip, but also
my dream trip. I have been dreaming this trip since about 4 years ago, since
The
Tsunami hit this island. Nangroe Aceh Darussalam. This is a province on the top
corner of Sumatera Island, and part of Indonesia Continent.In this trip, I try
to spare my time to take a holiday to Sabang Island. It wasn't an exciting trip
at the first time, because I hate Ocean, I hate Sea, I hate deep water. I hate
those places, because I'm afraid of the Ocean, Sea and Deep Water. But thanks
God, I have a friend who is working there in Aceh, and she convinces me that I
won't regret for this trip. The place we are going is so beautiful and she
ensure me that I will be fine on the boat which takes us there. At that time, I
have heard the rumors that the wave seems too big, and most of my friends there
suggested me not to go... But I don't know why, even I have a doubt, still I
want to go to Sabang, because I know this probably my last chance to see what
Sabang look like. I don't know when I will be able to coming back to Aceh, and
have a chance to go to Sabang. [MORE....]
