Guide Travelling

Discover Indonesia on all sides

9:45 AM |

The Indonesia is a mosaic one of peoples and of ethnic groups where mix with Moslem, Christian, buddhist, Hindu and animistic. Each screw to his rhythm, more traditional to the most frantic one. The Indonesia, this is also a multitude of islands, shelled in the middle of the Indian Ocean to capricious waters. The nature is not in remainder: in the impenetrable jungles of Sumatra always evolve tigers, elephants, snakes or orangs-outans. To Java, the volcanic mountains compete extraordinary landscapes. Nusa Tenggara and Sulawesi are islands out norm, that protect themselves ferociously of the foreign cultures. You will have understood it, the Indonesia, this island to the luxurious vegetation is fascinating. Generous and multicultural, the Indonesia invites the traveler to change of surroundings… and this is succeeded.

* Geography :

Of water and islands (more than 13 000!) - Of which certain do not surpass the size of a boulder -, the while spreading itself on 5 000 km... The Indonesian ones call their country Tanah Air Kita, which means "our earth and our water". The archipelago constitutes a mosaic one of 360 groups ethnic speaking 250 languages of which some include several dialects (with a common language, the bahasa indonesia, imposed since the independence) and of 223 millions of inhabitants. The Indonesia understands (of west is some) the big island of Sumatra with his handful of islands satellites, then in the enfilade Java, Bali, and again a long led one of islands. Above, the island of Kalimantan (Bornéo) of which left it north belongs to Malaysia. Next to her, the island of Sulawesi (the Célèbes) with its big bays that give him the aspect of an amoeba seen to the microscope. More to the east, again and again islands of which the fine Moluques... and at last West Irian, on the western party of the island of the New Guinea, with his border not very natural: a pulled trait any right and that cuts the island in two with Papua. As the Indonesia situates itself roughly to horse on the equator, the sun gets up and goes to bed with the regularity of a métronome: to get up to 6 o'clock and put to bed to 18 o'clock.

Indonesia is a tremendous natural reservoir, but the word "environment" figures not again in the list of the Pancasilas, the duties and the principles of the nation. From the standpoint governmental or individual, the huge interests in game, as well as the negligence or the simple indifference, often drove the Indonesian ones to exploit to wrong and through, and even to sell, their own resources, their own wealths. Being given the crisis that crosses the country, one will object that the ecological preoccupation is the one of a rich and developed corporation... But is qu'adviendra-t-il of these resources, of this natural capital and tourism, if this exploitation without limits continuing thus? And this is to say nothing of pollution, collection and treatment of the losses in certain corners of the country. It there had well countries of cleanliness, and some associations écolos local saw the light of day, but with the crisis, this is not close to to become a national priority...

* Climate :

It exists 2 seasons, even if they less are marked for the equatorial climate strongly is lessened by maritime influences. More you direct yourself towards the north, more it is hot and humid. The dry monsoon lasts May to October while the humid monsoon, originating sea, holds sway November to April. The strongest rains are recorded between December and March. The temperature oscillates between 22 and 34°C on earth and 26 to 29°C in water. The better season to visit the Indonesia is situated between June and September. Otherwise this is well nonetheless!

* Economy :

Despite the different crises, the Indonesian economy of the years 2000 comparatively quickly resumed the way of the growth. If the Indonesia is not the first one of the class of the Asian countries, it not is at all to the leads. A sustained and uniform growth the creation of a system of credit that favors the internal request, the good one held exportations, international investments that do not deny themselves... number of economical turn signals are at the green. Despite that, and even if the inflation could be maintained around 6% the latter years, the growth still remains too weak to succeed going out poorest of their position and let the unemployment rate fall, that gravitates today around 8.50%. In the middle of the years 2000, the explosion of the price of the first matters did not help the classes the done more disinherit. The recent initiatives of plans of social assistance remain stammering. The relative good one held public finances and political stability should motivate the appetite of the international investors. The world-wide financial crisis and unprecedented that live the western countries does not save anyone. The exportations lower, their amounts and their values with. The 6 points of growth will be hard to attain!

* Money and Changes :

Money :

- The national change is the Indonesian rupee or rupiah (Rps). Seen his value, there is not subdivision. In fact, at the end of 2009, a rupiah was worth about 0.000072€! Otherwise says, for 1€, one obtained about 14 000 Rps.

- It does not exist any restriction form: one can enter or go out with as much of Euros, of dollars or of traveler's checks that one wants.

Changes :

- One changes all the changes in all the tourist places. Useless to go to the bank, safe special operation. In the money change, the rate of change always is posted on a sign to the exterior one. Well to compare them, for one sees sometimes gaps of more than 10%. Some practice tempting rates but ask a percentage of important commission (without specifying it to the previous one). Prefer the changers that not take any commission, this is easier to calculate. If possible, avoid changing the weekends and holidays, the rate is less

interesting. Not being linked up to the central banks (closed during the weekend), the changers practice a less interesting rate to be certain of not to lose money. The Euro is accepted everywhere. One counsels to take a part of your pécule in traveler's checks in Euros. They are accepted everywhere. Rate a little weaker than for the liquid. ATTENTION: many readers signaled us of the swindle with the money change, particularly to Kuta, and change money in the very tourist places relief almost of the lottery. One counsels the network of money change Central PT Kuta, present to Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, but

also to Sanur, Nusa Dua and Ubud.

* Budget :

According to the economical, financial and tourist crises, the prices fluctuate noticeably. The variations are frequent and sudden. Hotel and restaurant owners uniformly readjust their tariffs according to the inflation induced by the increase of the fuel, request of the vacationers, season, of the "events", cremations in the town... Our price have therefore to be considered as general indications.

* Housing :

The tariffs of the rooms agree for 2 people. Always to ask if the taxes are understood in the price. They are usually of 21%. If they are notit, nothing prevents you from negotiate them. Out season, one will propose you of straightaway to include them in the tariff. The hotels that we classified under the categories "Chic" and "chicquer" post often their prices in dollars. But that does not prevent you to pay them in rupees. Down below season, all can negotiate itself. The tariffs sometimes can lower of 30 to 50% while going on the spot and while asking one offers a discount on, just like the daily tariff if you remain several days. There is not rule! The price ladder that we propose here is not completely the same that for the remainder of the

country.

- Very inexpensive: less than 60 000 Rps (4,30€).

-Inexpensive: of 60 000 to 100 000 Rps (4,30 to 7.20€) about.

- Moderate Prices: of 100 000 to 250 000 Rps (7,20 to 17.85€) about.

- Average Prices: of 250 000 to 400 000 Rps (17,85 to 28.60€) about.

- Chic: of 40 to 90 US$ (26,70 to 60€).

- Chicquer: more than 100 US$ (more than66.80€).

* Restoration :

More than for housing, the tariffs of the meals are very variable. The prices are calculated on the basis of a menu by person. With the exception of the warungs very inexpensive (and generally excellent) that do not apply any tax, it is necessary generally to add 21% of tax to the advisable prices, but sometimes they less are raised, on the order of 16% correspondent to 11% of governmental tax and 5% for the service. There is not rule!

- Of inexpensive one to moderate prices:of 20 000 to 40 000 Rps (1,40 to 2.85€) for a good meal.

- Average Prices: of 40 000 to 70 000 Rps (2,85 to 5€) for a complete meal.

- Chicquer: more than 70 000 Rps (5€). For information only, count from150 000 Rps (10,70€) for a gastronomic meal.

* Transportations :

- The bemo remains the transportation method the less dear, provided that one pays the local price, which is not always easy. The tariffs of the bemos are derisory: about 2 000 Rps for a very small local race

and 10 000 Rps (0,70€) for a linking up trip two cities or towns.

- For the big trips, the movements do themselves in bus of one of the private companies (for example Perama; their offices deliver free a card of straight giving member to 15% of reduction on all their lines

and everywhere in Indonesia).

- One also can rent a bike or a car (necessary international driver's license). Count between 5 and 10€a

day for a small bike and of 15 to 30€a day for a car according to the category. For a car with driver, add a supplement of 10€a day. If you stop yourself to visit a temple, a market, etc., someone will ask you of 1 000 to 2 000 Rps for the parking lot.

* Tax with airport :

- International Tax: to keep about 150 000 Rps (10,70€).

- National Tax: to keep about 30 000 Rps (2,10€). This is a little less dear, butthat can change of a day to the other, then more better is worth to count wide.

* Health :

- To put back Itself imperatively to the section "Before the departure" in chapter head for the list of advised vaccinations.

- Let's Recall It, it is recommended, during the very length of your stay in Indonesia, to follow a treatment antipaludique. The body of the country is classified in zone 3 (safe Bali and the big cities, that are unharmed by any malaria). You inform with your doctor before the departure. A lot - in order not to say the entirety - repellent insectifuges or sold arthropods in hypermarket or in pharmacy are little or insufficiently effective. To choose only a range conforms WHO as Insect Ecran®. Essential not only for the malaria, but also for the dengue (endémo-épidémique and in growth), the chikungunya (very present in Indonesia), the Japanese encephalitis...

- Attention to the

gluttonous amoebas and to the typical bacteria salmonella, shigelle

Qatar covers the region (the domain) total of 11.437 km sq. The state of the held Qatar a population of 907.229 in accordance with the statistics of census of July of 2007. The dry climate of the Qatar is characterized to the hot summers and to the moderate winters. The Arab, the Iranian, the Pakistani, the Indian one and of others group minority are the important groups of race of the Qatar. The Arab is the official language of the Qatar. The economy of the Qatar depends on the exportation of natural oil and of oil.

Living in Qatar can be a wonderful experience, thanks to the well maintained streets and locals of the Arabian peninsula. Qatar is making a huge amount of profit in the oil and refineries which is also a major reason which is why the country is able to spend so much on its big events and improvements for its residents. Qatar Living can be real fun as the country hosts a wide range of sports events like Tennis, Golf, Squash, Motorcycle racing, Powerboat racing, Athletics, Football and Sailing, in which the residents are allowed a free entry!

Doha, the capital of the Qatar offers the environment of excellent study in its different schools, high schools and institutions. The schools especially are conceived in accordance with the French, the United Kingdom and the American systems.

Transportations ( Infrastructure road ) :

The state of the road network is good on the body of the territory. Speed is limited to 120 km/o'clock on the main roads and to 60/80 km/o'clock in the towns.

The driving after consuming alcohol (which that some is the quantity) constitutes an offence engraves.

Outside of the blacktopped roads, notably in the desert, the vehicles are assured only under certain conditions. In case of accident, not to move the vehicle, even if it bothers the circulation; call the urgency number 999, await the arrival of the police and warn the embassy of France. If there are victims, the driver will remain in police custody until the police report released it of any responsibility.

Entry / Stay In Qatar :

Currently it is possible to obtain one aimed entry to the posts borders. Authorities qatariennes put back to a later date the procedure of delivery of previous aim to the enter into the country.

What it is "of matter" or of "tourism", the aimed is delivered :

for a validité of 14 days (renewable),

To the price of 100 Rials qatariens (about 19€) to which ones it is necessaryto add, for the same validité, 100 Rials qatariens by accompanying (marries, children. ..)

In order to avoid the dehydration risks, it is necessary to drink in quantity, especially at the time of the periods of big heat and of strong humidity (of mid-May to mi-octobre). For the stays of more of a months, the medical visit and the test of screening of the Aids are obligatory (the delivered certificates by foreign medical authorities earlier to the arrival to the Qatar are not recognized). The traveler will not be authorized to stay to the Qatar if the screening test reveals itself positive.

The Islamic art :

The Islamic art is a wide concept that groups together different forms of art of country and territories (going of the Spain until India) that were, in a manner permanent or temporary under the reign of the Islam (since the year 622 of the Christian era). It is important to make obvious that the Islam was before all a religion and an ideology that later developed in a civilization divided by several territories.

The Islam shed itself in a world where reigned two big empires, the Byzantine empire and the Persian empire. The Byzantine empire, inheritance of the Greco-Roman civilization, principally occupied the Mediterranean region and was Christian until the 4th Century. The Persian empire spread itself up to Central Asia and was Zoroastrian religion.
These two Empires considerably influenced the development of the Islamic art and were populated various cultures and as peoples well Moslem as Christian, Zoroastrian, Indian or Jew.
The artists in Islamic art, maitrisaient just as well the decorative motives préislamiques as the techniques and the different emerging decorative styles.
The Islamic art presents a certain unity stylistique due to the movements of the artists, merchants, backers and works. The common job of a writing in Islamic everyone and the placement in special value of writes calligraphy it reinforce this unity idea. Of other elements were put in value, as the attention reach to the vegetable decorations as arabesques.

In architecture, buildings to the specific functions, as mosques and madrasas, are created in very varied forms but following often a same basic outline. If it does not exist practically any art of the sculpture, the work of the objects of metal, of ivory or of ceramic attains frequently a big technical perfection. It is necessary also to underline the presence of a paint and of an illumination present in the sacred and books secular.

The Islamic art is characterized by different artistic expressions nourished by the variety of cultures and of peoples and the principal matters used by the artists during this period were the ceramic, the glass or the metal.
With the intention of to understand and to appreciate the Islamic art we must remember that it is linked to the historic events and to the cultures that supplied his development. The artéfacts count us the history of this journey characterized by the mixture of peoples and of cultures towards a unified force of the Islam.
Later, the Islamic art strongly was influenced by the China at the time of the invasion Mongole to the 13th one and 14th Centuries. Chinese porcelain influenced the Moslem potiers and brought them to explore and to create technical different with the intention of to imitate the white bottom of Chinese pottery. The Moslem potiers equally used the Chinese motives as the peacock, the flowers of allot and incorporated them in the representation of the Islamic art. The influence of the Chinese art later was supported thanks to the expansion of the commercial roads.
The Islamic art is therefore an art that exceeds the distances in time and spaces as well as the language differences, culture and faith of the different peoples that influenced it.

Discover The art Of real Life in Cuba !

12:58 AM |

Cuba , the biggest one of the Caribbean islands, always is compared to one appears: its thousands of kilometers of beaches have the color of the mother-of-pearl, his music enchants you. Spain and Africa succeeded there a fabulous intermarriage: an architecture mi-espagnole, mi-coloniale, a gifted people of a direction of rare hospitality that, despite the economical misery, knows to keep the mouse and the innate taste of the party. For Gauged, this is also an extreme misery in which, nevertheless, the people construct a mountain with almost nothing.
If one called Gauged the "socialist paradise", seen interior, socialism does not have in fact bigger thing of enchanting one: one there lacks all! On this heavenly island, earth of the better tobacco, cradle of cocktails fine and of all these music that do to dance the world, the necessity does law. Let's not forget not more than Gauged is the birthplace of all these music that do to dance the world: salsa, mambo, rumba and chachacha. As the santería, this strange come religion of Africa, Gauged bewitches you.

Cuba not itself limit to his revolutionary history. His rich cultural heritage and his natural heritage are unique: this are the treasures of colonial architecture of the Havana or of Trinidad, the numerous beaches of white sand, the luxurious tropical vegetation, as well as the music, the dance, but also the rhum and the fine cigars.
Paradox earth, double economy and moral double, glorified by the one, execrated by the others, Gauged raises the passions since this day of 1959 where Fidel Castro, Ernesto Guevara and Camilo Cienfuegos initiated the revolution. Fifty years after, the "Appears of the Caribbean ones" seems to have immobilized itself in the past, as the says a metaphor cubaine "that advances while looking in the rear view mirror". A socialist State (unique party and no tolerated opposition on the island) to some encablures of the United States, where the question of the after fidel puts itself since that this one yielded the strength to his brother Raùl, become president in February 2008.

The biggest one of the islands of the Caribbean ones, of which the long history is fascinating, knew days better. Tugged between the American embargo and the fall of the pad of the East, the economy of the island is in constant rout, despite the hamper that represents the opening to tourism and the dollars sharp by the exiles to their families. Gauged cultivates henceforth a certain revolutionary folklore, while a lot of Cubans throw envious looks towards the sea and the Florida...

The aimed is on the other hand obligatory for the professional trips.
Health : Gauged has a comparable sanitary level to the one of the developed nations. More better is worth nevertheless to be vaccinated against the hepatitides A and B, typhoid and the tétanos. You provide with medicines and of products of basic hygiene for the pharmacies cubaines are often in stock rupture.
Gap schedule: GMT/UTC - 6H (- 5H in summer)
Electricity: the generally distributed current is of 110 volts to 60 hertz. Certain hotels propose of the 220 volts. The taken are American type (two flat parallel cards). Since 2008, the State wants to pass to the 220 volts in all the island .
The convertible peso cuban (CUC) is the reference change. The dollar is forbidden to Cuba . It is possible to change Euros, Canadian and Swiss frank dollars surcharges. You will be able to pay in pesos cubans (moneda nacional) the foods bought in the street, the urban transportations and certain cultural activities as the movie. One will ask you convertible (CUC) for the whole remainder, concerts, long distance transportations or taxis.
Take types (Euros) for it is more better to avoid paying your purchases with your credit card (you will pay a commission of 11.25% to every transaction, and often the final one does not work). Rare there exist automatic distributors of bills, but avoid them for they are renowned to swallow the cards. To do the changes (hotels and banks apply almost always the same rate), you provide with your passport.
Foresee 25 CUC of tax of departure of the airport of The Havana.

The cost of living to Cuba student for the foreigners A room doubles in a hotel will cost you of 50 to 200 CUC. The tariff of a room with the inhabitant oscillates between 20 and 45 CUC. A copious meal in a private restaurant (paladar) coûte12 CUC.

Catégorie supérieure : > 10 CUC

Price average for the hotels:

Economical category: < 40 CUC
Catégorie moyenne : < 40-80 CUC

No season is actually unpleasant. The period that spreads itself between December and April is the season tourist by excellence. The other season of crowd is the one of July/August, that corresponds to the vacation of the Cubans. The season of rains spreads themselves May to October. More better is worth to avoid Christmas, Easter and the vicinity of the 1st May and of July 26 if you do not appreciate the crowd.
What's more holidays, there is a long list of days "celebrated" : January 2 (victory of the revolution of 1959), January 28 (anniversary of José Martí), March 8 (international day of the women), April 19 (victory of the bay of the Pigs), June 30 (day of the martyrs of the revolution), October 28 (commemoration of the death of Camilo Cienfuegos), November 27 (commemoration of The death of 8 students killed by the Spaniards in 1871), December 2 (commemoration of the docking of the rebels on board of the Granma in 1956) and December 7 (anniversary of the death of Antonio Maceo).
Fail book (March), series of basic games ball (April), Festival Internacional of Ballet (October), Festival Internacional del Nuevo Cine Latinoamericano (movie festival, December)

Environment :

Cuba look like a parenthesis between the Florida and the Yucatán. To the entry of the gulf of Mexico, she is bathed to the north by the ocean Atlantic and to the south by the sea of the Caribbean ones. Only the quarter of his territory – that totals more than 5 700 km of coasts for 110 860 km² – is occupied by wooded mountains. Plains in favor of the farm and to the culture of the cane to sugar cover the major party of the island. Three mountainous bodies not very high themselves detach some: the Alturas, to the west, do not surpass hardly 700 m; the Sierra of Escambray, to the center, attains an altitude of 1 140 m; to the southeast, at last, the mountains of the region of the Orients welcome the peak point of the island, the Pico Turquino (1 972 m).
