The sky was still cloudy when I landed at Wolter Monginsidi Airport in Kendari. The weather in Kendari has been quite variable recently – sometimes suddenly going cloudy and rainy, and then clear and hot a few moments later. Hoping it would stay clear, I started to explore Kendari as evening began to set in.
It’s about 50 kilometers from the airport to the center of town, where I arrived after an hour’s journey; the streets were lined on both sides with shop houses and restaurants.
Following a friend’s recommendation, I had dinner at the Medulu restaurant on Jalan Ahmad Yani. Local specialties of Kendari such as sinonggi, tawaoloho ayam and kambatu tinomisi were my introduction to the local cuisine; it was very much to my liking, and I fell in love with these dishes straightaway.
After dinner, I got ready to explore the town by night. My first destination was Kendari Beach. You would imagine from the name that Kendari Beach is a sandy area by the seashore, with pounding waves, but not at all; Kendari Beach lies along the shores of Kendari Bay and is crowded with small food tents where you can hang out, enjoy the evening breezes, and snack on pisang epe with a glass of sarraba to warm you up. From these food tents, I could see the lights of ships sailing or docking in Kendari Bay. The night became even more enchanting when the cloud cover cleared and the sky filled with stars, making it a perfect evening.
The next morning, in a corner of the Old City of Kendari Bay, I saw the bustling fish market. Fishermen, fish vendors Read the rest of this entry »

Olive oil, oranges and sherry – these iconic Spanish products come out of the land of Andalusia, of its rolling hills baked to pale brown by the southern sun. Seville, Granada, Cordoba – these are the magical names of the great historic cities of Andalusia, famed worldwide. The Alcazar, the Alhambra – these global bywords for exotic beauty are actually the great Moorish palaces of Andalusia.
With all these superb attributes, it’s hardly surprising that the international image of Spain is very heavily weighted with the sights, sounds and tastes of Andalusia, that southernmost region imbued with the loveliness of the Moorish Islamic civilisation which lasted for almost eight centuries.
Forming more than a seventh of the Iberian peninsula, boasting both a Mediterranean and an Atlantic coastline Read the rest of this entry »
Undeniably, the barong has a special place in the hearts of the Balinese. It can easily be found in nearly all corners of the island. It may be in the form of masks sold in the art markets, in the form of paintings hung in galleries, or as part of a dance performance, either for sacred purposes or merely as entertainment for tourists.
In his Mengenal Barong dan Rangda (Introducing Barong and Rangda), I Nyoman Yoga Segara S.Ag. explains that etymologically the word barong derives from the Sanskrit b(h)arwang. This is cognate to the Malay word beruang, a mammal native to Asia, America and Europe with a short tail and thick fur – the bear. In Indonesia, bears live in Sumatra and Kalimantan. The word beruang is treated similarly to the names of other animals, such as singa (lion), macan (tiger), babi (pig), and gajah (elephant).
The word b(h)arwang is also Read the rest of this entry »
