Moto Indonesia offers a unique view into the cultural life

The cost to rent a motorcycle in Indonesia is U.S. $ 2 per day and is a experience not to forget. Cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles and pedestrians are zooming in all directions, all participants in a delicate dance organized chaos on two-lane narrow roads lacking shoulders or sidewalks. Certainly, the feeling is both exhilarating and frightening. In case of Indo do as the Indonesians do not?

With the warm wind blowing in our faces we have the chance to attend the Indonesian daily life. Hindu temples with fine carvings are scattered in the villages between the brick shanty towns and buildings as plaster. Ladies put on a t-shirt and brightly printed sarong achieve a plateau of boxes full of palm leaves and flowers occasional pirate as a daily offering to the gods and gently place it on a door. Unfortunately, the garbage business does not seem to exist if, instead waste is widely scattered. A small fire crackles on along the road and the smell of burning plastic negatively welcomes our noses. Another fire is small and just as suddenly the flavor of the meat BBQ nice pass. Then they take a bus or a motorcycle spitting black smoke from the exhaust pipe as I have a fast learner bandana on my face Crumpled skinny stray dogs and trot sleep along the dirt roads. Shops and shop windows of the street selling nasi goreng (a popular rice dish) All bottled drinks, trinkets and the essence of an old bottle of Absolut vodka. We stopped to refuel from gas station was out of gas and people immediately involved with us. "Where are you? Where are you coming? "They want to know. It is important to them knowledge. We communicate with hand gestures and broken English before telling us graciously Terim Kasih (thank you). Above and Hill and Trunk pothole or occasional dirt we come upon a breathtaking panoramic vista of rice fields dotted with workers wear straw hats triangular. The mountains are covered with palm trees and brilliant sea blues reveals varied from aquamarine and turquoise to a very bright purple. The dark brown hard-lined faces of men and women of all ages look to us in the careers of rock grueling work day of. The old ladies in print dresses walking with a knife u giant curved in one hand and a packet of sugar cane on the other shoulder. Children dressed in the house at the foot of the wave school uniform and give us the wonderful gift of a giant white teeth smile and a loud " Hallo "And occasional high five. We are a little surprising, these white-skinned Europeans through their small town – no doubt a story to tell their friends.

The articles carried on a motorcycle leaves me in awe. It is not uncommon to see two adults on a bicycle with a baby, or even a baby and a child – the car of the local family to go where needed. Ladies up in amazon food a small child. Men wearing a giant stack of cardboard boxes, a bamboo stick four feet long (which is a red flag!?), An aviary Giant balanced on his back, half of them not wearing helmets and all men aged over 18 with a cigarette hanging from his mouth.

As we drove from Banko Banko in Lombok for the ferry to Gili Trawangan Island, we took a well deserved rest to rest the sore back and enjoy a poodle of water on the road. We happened to stop in a Muslim village face classroom. As if the school-age children took a break to watch the children we covered the windows with waves and smiles for us look through the narrow street. Although I searched for a restroom (unsuccessfully) with a teacher in the alley in the eyes of my husband and gently and kissed him. We stopped to talk with some children who asked the ubiquitous "Where are you? Where did you come?" with more smiles and engaged in a conversation broken. It was a fun experience.
