| I went to Tanjong Pinang in 1989. It was a quiet, laid back town. We went island hopping and enjoy the sea food. At that time, news of Hepatitis A was given quite an exposure in the papers and so I refrain from eating sea-food with shells. Our tour guide was a local chinese and he told us that they cannot afford to go out visiting like us. The local coffee shop still serves "bottled" drinks and recycle the bottles. I feel like I am back to my childhood in 1970's Singapore. |
| My dept has decided to go for a trip in 2001.I suggested Club Med Bintan cause I have heard about Club Med being full of fun as games & activities are constantly being organised thru-out the day & night (Info fr Kate). Also, a colleague of mine (Sheon) was a G.O. in Club Med Bali and I too hear stories fr her. Club Med Bintan was quite quiet when we were there in Jan 2001. It was not what I have expected. It could be that Jan is not the season for water sports (which are closed). Still, I enjoy the food and the trapez which I have been looking forward to. |
| Sekilak is a kelong in Indonesia. It rents out rooms for visitors and provides water sports too. A quiet place for relaxing. The seafood is sumptous too. |

| We did archery, play volley ball & badminton, did the trapez, swam in the evening, watch the night show & night trapez all within a day & was dead tired. I never felt my body ache so much |
