Ever been to a monkey forest where you have to watch your belongings because they might get stolen..from monkeys? Yes, these little sneaky animals have one interest and only one interest in mind, that you have a banana in your pocket or purse. They will grab your purse or bag and run with it up a tree. With over a few hundred monkeys running around and even jumping on you, it makes it a interesting place to visit. You can buy banana’s in the entrance to feed them but don’t let them see you have some because they will tell all their friends and follow you around the entire time. There is also a nice Hindu temple to visit while you are there. Be prepared to wear a Sarong if you want to enter out of respect.

Gili Trawangan
Gili Trawangan, a little island off the coast of Lombok. Lombok is in Indonesia, east of Bali. Known for its beautiful white sand beaches and parties, its a backpackers heaven. Cheap prices, great drinks, and even nice resorts a long the beach for those in a little honeymoon escape. Getting to the island on a little wooden boat from Lombok was quite the experience with the waves a few meters high and the boat feeling like it was about to flip. May I say a divers paradise as well. With great reef dives there are many companies that offer great diving packages for everyone from beginners to experience level divers. A place I wouldn’t only post about but also recommend.
A new inspiration, a different world…..or continent.
There are many places on this earth that can be called magical but there are not many places that the people of the land make it magical. Welcome to Indonesia. I’m in Asia! As I first arrived I was mixed with excitement but at the same time awareness. Why? I’ve heard a few crazy stories. But crazy is what makes this place a magical place, that and of course little islands in the middle of no where completely surround by the sound of crashing waves on colorful reef or beautiful rice fields under a sunny but rainy day. From it’s food to its religious based decorations up and down the street this place has many surprises to offer. Must enter with an open mind if not prepare for culture shock if its your first time in Asia. Surfing, diving, fishing, hiking, trekking, motorbike riding, elephant riding are just some of the things you can do here. Enjoy it and breathe it in, because breath is life.
