<p><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">As a major producer of oil and timber, East Kalimantan is at present the most industrially advanced province of the island and the second largest province in Indonesia. It is also the home of the original inhabitants of Kalimantan, the Orang Gunung or Mountain People. The tribes are collectively called Dayak, although this name is not embraced by many tribes-people themselves, who prefer to be known by separate tribal names such as Iban, Punan and Banuaq. Local tribes traditionally live in the communal longhouses called Lamin or Umaq Daru. They are built on wooden piles, sometimes 3 meters high as protection against wild animals and flooding. The Punan people are nomadic hunter-gatherers, and only use the longhouse at the height of the rainy season. Steeped in tradition, the interior of the longhouse is typically divided into separate family quarters with communal areas connecting each of the family. It is in the communal areas that village meetings are held and ceremonies performed, thereby reinforcing the strong tribal bonds in the face of rapidly advancing 20<sup>th</sup> century’s techonology.</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">Guardian statues are normally placed in front of longhouses to protect them against evil’s spirits who bring disease and bad fortune. The more remote and traditional tribes-people have pierced earlobes, which over the year have become stretched by the weight of heavy gold or brass rings and beautifully elaborate tattoos. Traveling along the extensive Mahakam River system is a fascinating adventure. River boats slide unobtrusively through heavily silt-laden waters, wild orchids drip off trees. Proboscis monkeys signal your arrival to the crocodiles and legendary hornbills. A 5,000-acre Orchid Reservation close to the village of Kersik Luwai cultivates 27 different species of orchild including the very rare <em>“Cologenia Pandura”</em> the Black Orchid.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: 16pt;">Getting there:</span></strong><br />
Balikpapan is the gateway to East Kalimantan; Garuda Indonesia Airlines fly from Kuala Lumpur to Balikpapan via Jakarta. Balikpapan can be reached by flight directly from Jakarta, Manado and Surabaya as well as from Tarakan.</p>

Kalimantan</span></strong><strong><span style="font-size: 20pt;"> </span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">As a major producer of oil and timber, East Kalimantan is at present the most industrially advanced province of the island and the second largest province in Indonesia. It is also the home of the original inhabitants of Kalimantan, the Orang Gunung or Mountain People. The tribes are collectively called Dayak, although this name is not embraced by many tribes-people themselves, who prefer to be known by separate tribal names such as Iban, Punan and Banuaq. Local tribes traditionally live in the communal longhouses called Lamin or Umaq Daru. They are built on wooden piles, sometimes 3 meters high as protection against wild animals and flooding. The Punan people are nomadic hunter-gatherers, and only use the longhouse at the height of the rainy season. Steeped in tradition, the interior of the longhouse is typically divided into separate family quarters with communal areas connecting each of the family. It is in the communal areas that village meetings are held and ceremonies performed, thereby reinforcing the strong tribal bonds in the face of rapidly advancing 20<sup>th</sup> century’s techonology.</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">Guardian statues are normally placed in front of longhouses to protect them against evil’s spirits who bring disease and bad fortune. The more remote and traditional tribes-people have pierced earlobes, which over the year have become stretched by the weight of heavy gold or brass rings and beautifully elaborate tattoos. Traveling along the extensive Mahakam River system is a fascinating adventure. River boats slide unobtrusively through heavily silt-laden waters, wild orchids drip off trees. Proboscis monkeys signal your arrival to the crocodiles and legendary hornbills. A 5,000-acre Orchid Reservation close to the village of Kersik Luwai cultivates 27 different species of orchild including the very rare <em>“Cologenia Pandura”</em> the Black Orchid.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: 16pt;">Getting there:</span></strong><br />
Balikpapan is the gateway to East Kalimantan; Garuda Indonesia Airlines fly from Kuala Lumpur to Balikpapan via Jakarta. Balikpapan can be reached by flight directly from Jakarta, Manado and Surabaya as well as from Tarakan.</p>

This  was the beginning of profitable trade relations with China, Cambodia, Siam, Burma and Vietnam. As the power in Central Java declined in the 10th century, powerful kingdoms rose in East Java to fill the power vacuum.

Today the open-air amphitheater at Pandaan perfomances tell some of the stories of this gloriuos past, set against an impressive backdrop of distant volcanoes, capturing the spirit of  the province’s culture and scenery. East Java’s claim to fame in modern history is its vanguard  role in the struggle for independence againts colonial forces in 1945. Little of the Majapahit Empire’s former glory still stands in East Java.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="IN">Art and culture are strongly bonded to Bali’s unique form of Hinduism called “Hindu Darma”. Classical dance dramas are based on the old Hindu epics of the Ramayana and the Mahabarata, but contain an element of local folklore peculiar to the island. The very soul of Bali is rooted in religion and is expressed in art forms that have een passionately preserved over the centuries. It seems that almost every person is an artist. Whether expressed through beautiful and intricate paintings and dances, extraordinary carvings, superb weaving or even in decorations made for the myriad shrines, the islands is live with art. Regular performances of the popular dances such as the legong kraton, the barong kris and the baris dances, easily found throughout Bali. They usually staged for tourist by the village people. The Kecak is performed at night by torchlight. They have managed to preserve their culture despite over whelming foreign influences brought to the region by an ever-increasing number of tourists. Water sports have naturally gained in popularity and Bali offers superb surfing, windsurfing, sailing, scuba diving and white water rafting.</span></p>
