I totally disagree, perhaps you simply need to visit Indonesia at the appropriate time. I went in the dry season between May and September and it wasn’t that humid!
Although I must say the latest travel warnings are a bit concerning….

I completely disagree as well. I have been many times and not once have I had a problem with the heat. There’s a beautiful beach and I’m sure your hotel has a pool…

Just spent 3 months in Indonesia and it’s absolutely awesome! Dunno if this list is a joke or not, but a lot of american travellers seem to share the plain dumbness and lack of cultural-relativity.

Erm, wasn’t the post about the heat and not about the ‘awesomeness’ of the place or lack of ability to enjoy the culture there. Read before replying guys!

I have just returned from a dream holiday in Surabaya in Indonesia. It is the perfect tourist destination for the middle aged sex-tourist. Prostitutes have clean vaginas and also offer anal sex and unprotected oral sex with a swallow service for just US$5 which is outstanding value.
