The Amazing East Volume 1 issue 4
Publisher's Description
Indonesia, with its rich cultural diversity and natural resources, is renowned as the ‘emerald of the equator’. Every inch of the archipelago is a jewel that glows just like emeralds mined from Indonesian soils. It is truly a shame if these natural resources are not exposed to the world, simply due to limited access to information. In fact, thousands of places in Indonesia are so exotic that in terms of natural resources there really is no comparison. The Amazing East believes that the beginning of 2010 is the perfect time to try to surprise readers with innovative and unusual feature articles. One of the islands we will expose in this edition is Kalimantan. Read about lively early morning transactions between buyers and sellers at Muara Kuin floating market. We then visit Bali to learn about acculturation and celebration this February 14th; how the Chinese community there has its own way of bringing in the Chinese New Year with a special Balinese twist. Staying on this tropical island resort, there is a feature on breathtaking water sport activities at Tanjung Benoa, on Bali’s south coast. Later we move to Sumba, presenting you with a fascinating article about the Pasola festival of West Sumba that personifies boldness and courage of West Sumbanese men. Finally, you can complete your journey by reading some light tourism information, illustrated with stunning photos. We hope you will enjoy reading The Amazing East, a magazine that aims to bring out the spirit of adventure in everyone, encouraging travelers to discover more and more exciting places in Indonesia. Greetings from us!
