INDONESIA TOUR of Ben Oostdam and Paul Billeter, 1999-2000;

Reception at
Wisma Gadjah Guesthouse


this was a pleasant place with free breakfast served next to a fine swimming pool.
we stayed here Jan.17-21
for Rp 30K pppn ($4+)

two guests from Jakarta
there also was an Ambonese family of which the 40 year old son spoke only Dutch and English and his cousin only Indonesian

we met many Dutch, not all as lovely as Dorthe, a student from Leiden, and her mom

another interesting "indische jongen", Abel Oldhoff , now residing in Ireland with his wife Dineke. Also Dick and Ineke Verver who import Indonesian art to Holland.

Just in "our" small lane, there were three Cyber Cafes, so we also caught up with the outside world
