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.

Indonesia IS horrible. The pollution is ALMOST everywhere, and it has many bugs.

If you go to a tropical place like indonesia, how can you NOT expect bugs and heat?

I completely disagree. I am australian and have lived here for twelve years! This country is amazing. Sure being a bule (foregin person) may get you the occasional glances but this place is worth it and you people just degrading it… I hate ya!

this site is character assassination for any country who was posted here.
many countrys have good and bad sites
racism
sex-tourism
bad weather ( you have to accept that the weather is different of your own country when you travel )
bugs ( ??what… come one , thats a stupid awnser…you can find such stuff in your own mattress when
would take a look inside so dont give a fuck on any bug in another country!!! )
ignorance ( hm yes when you wont understand the culture difference or the religion )
english skills ( many ppl cant speak english and you have to accept that,when not you are ignorant…when
you wanna travel it would be easy with a translationbook and the ppl there will try to
understand you,but when you just want they speak english because you speak english…you
are fucking stupid )
for me …i was in many different countrys..france,austria,holland,china,japan,korea and thailand and all countys are great , how i told you ,..every country have good and bad sites, criminal ppl , racisn and prostitue.dont be upset of other ppl , THATS WHY ITS SO INTERESTING TO TRAVEL…to see difference and interesting stuff.
thank you for reading

I was in sulawesi of indonesia currently, Jakarta is the city i would never want to live there, no way! Bali, ok, not bad, just like other island tourism destination which provide beach and sunshine, nothing special. This is the country i will never want to come back again. bad transportation, bad hospitality, bad tourism destination.
