After two Wchen hardness paradise. Is that nice here in Bunaken, the island's 1,000 inhabitants 45 minutes by boat from Manado in northern Sulawesi. The children play on the streets that are car-free, the families appear in extended families live together, at each corner an aunt sold in their shops, reminiscent of my shop, toothpaste, biscuits and water. If one has no chocolate, is the owner from the village and asks everyone else, whether there are stocks. It is cleaner than the sea, where swimming is still a good amount of chip bags and plastic bottles to pay for their removal tourists here parking fees. And of course, extend everywhere the coconut palms to the sky and are picked by professional climbers who blow up there just the way you told me and I see in pictures. On the roadside the bananas grow wild. The Catholic Church is visible from a distance and seems to take all residents at one time to.
The driver Anthony had figured out where you can stay at the cheapest. For 15 € per night you have booked full board, his own little house on the beach, as the king himself greeted by all with names and can go snorkeling so much desire. A dive, even for non-certified divers like me 25 euros will cost extra. Everyone is very nice greetings, friendly on the street, the instructor Alo looks like most other Indonesians, a white friend and is therefore not like to dive with me, but even with me for snorkeling. His hopes I had won him quickly shattered. Another guest said he had told him he was married.
before driving on the island by public boat (runs well, costs 2.50 euros, compared to 15 private), I had time for a nice walk in the market. Abundant fruit consumption (avocado, mangosteen, Lansa) and a fine mishmash Delicious food included. For small sensation I was when I helped a man with some muscle power, pushing a huge cart through the streets. This pleases the locals, if the supposedly rich in palaces and work tourists. As you can easily see from the pictures, the Indonesians, a particularly industrious business man who devoted every minute of the strained Ertüfeln new business ideas.
Besides the excellent food at Bunaken beach resort with not a lot of overcooked vegetables, tofu and rice I had entertainment on the Australian pair of Daniel and Emily, my colleague from Tasikoki July, the Briton Mike, here to be very busy and groaning Tauchexam learns and two Frenchmen. What we had a fun. No booze, lively conversation about culture, history, a bit of literature and philosophy and of course the diving. And almost the best today was at six in the morning to go again to work. No sting pain, not completely unreasonable heat and I ran. A dream! What have I missed it. My body loves me for it, I think.
two dives I've promised. This evening we go out to night diving, praised the other bad. The coral glow, and the colors are just beautiful. I'm quite smitten with the Schnorchelei with the wonderful clown fish, blue Leuchtefischchen, stripes and brown fish shoals that will help me very curious very close. Underwater World is really a great pleasure watching. I also get a feel for the strong currents here, against which I have strong to swim with fins and crawl strokes. The sea looks beautiful, quiet location and yet I see nothing in the down and look almost the seabed rush by me. Yes, it can be dangerous!
It is cooler here, the fan gives me a fresh Windchen and the mosquito bites from the sea urchin sting Tasikoki and holes heal, after I had the spines dissolved assiduously with vinegar from the market and previously pounded into small parts. The wounds heal all. Also, not the best time to have been there. I stuck to water, as I talked to the other and above all by the feedback I my opinion friendly, but clearly explained. This has to out that I have the last two days better with my bosses had neither, the point I was a little bit better understanding how the behaved but friendly and clearly positive. But fact remains: a strong host, the daily scrubbing shit for hours and not complaining, you meet very, very friendly. Everything else is not, period. I am especially glad to have done something for the animals that are so close to my heart, that I was close to tears at parting.
the way: what the people are always on the wish of what they have not. Here you will find anywhere complained Nivea Whitening Lotion and my instructor that the girls no dark men want. We are all lubricated with a tanning lotion and run into the tanning salon. Also good: Spitzenstihlkettensägen on ox carts and gasoline, which is bottled in Coke bottles, and so sold to the moped riders.
meadow goes, I know just couch surfing until Sunday, when I will arrive in Singapore at a Muslim family. They sound very, very nice and I'm looking forward to share the life again a very different lifestyle for a few days. I have written about 15 emails to Buddhist centers and monasteries, a mail came back that I could maybe go Kuala Lumpur to an event. They referred me to the home page with the data. I really want to meditate before Buddhist I fly to Germany. Whether I spend the rest of the time (and my dwindling budget) in Cambodia, Sumatra and Malaysia - as I myself am curious!
