Where is Rune?

I went to the Indonesian embassy this morning to apply for a social visa, valid for 60 days, and extendable up to 6 months. Visa fee was 2250 pesos.

Last evening I and a colleague catched a bus from Manila to a beach south of Manila (the trip took around 4 hours), called Munting Buhangin near the town Nasugbu. I was rather disappointed, the beach was nothing special at all, and the environment was boring. Overpriced lodging.

Today we rented a boat together with an American we met and his girlfriend, to a nearby tiny island, where we did some snorkeling. Which saved the day.

At sunset the American gave us a lift with his car to the city Tagaytay, from where we went the last leg to Manila by bus.

I became sunburnt on my back.

I am now sitting in the airport in Taipei waiting for a China Airlines flight to Manila.

I flew back to Balikpapan the day after Uno left, with Lion Air.

Today I am going on another business trip, and I flew from Balikpapan to Jakarta with Garuda this morning at 09:50.

I have just checked in again in Jakarta, waiting for the China Airlines flight from Jakarta to Taipei, which leaves at 14:40. I am enjoying a free beer at the airport lounge in this very moment.

This is Uno’s last day in Indonesia, and at 20:05 he will catch a Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt, and then Oslo.
