Indonesian Life 

Our common life, together in Indonesia.

Java, most populated island of Indonesia, situated between Sumatra and Bali; area (with the island of Madura) 132,000 sq km/51,000 sq mi; population (with Madura; 2000 est) 118,230,300. The capital is Jakarta (which is also the capital of Indonesia). The island is divided into three provinces: Jawa Tengah, Jawa Timur, and Jawa Barat, together with Jakarta Raya (the Jakarta metropolitan district). About half the island is under cultivation, the rest being thickly forested. Mountains and sea breezes keep the temperature down, but humidity is high, with heavy rainfall from December to March. Surabaya is biggest harbour-city.

our town

Manukan,  the town, our family is living, is situated in the north-west of Surabaya. Here are some impressions from home, family, neighbourhood and friends. The pics were taken during several stays in Manukan.  

our actual travel activities

Please find here some examples of our activities during our different stays in Indonesia. There is never enough time, to see, visit and understand all of these items.

our travel activities from the past

Once, on the travel back to Europe, we rested for several hours in Hongkong. An amazing city, but the communication was real bad. (even they were British for 99 years).

events & more

Germany is full of different activities. Each town, even small village is serving for people and tourists. During the warm season of the year are a lot of second-hand-markets available. We have a lot of different traditionals and markets, like carnival at the beginning, the "Jahrmaerkte" under, and the "Weihnachtsmaerkte" at the end of each year here in Germany.
