Smiling Indonesia

Golden Bay hotel, where I stay together with better aGolden View and Golden Prawn restaurant form here like a fenced tourist ghetto. But is is easy to escape from this oasis to the normal world – turn left after the gate and after 50 m you will be in the centre of the local life – watching the shops where you can buy a bread for 10000 IDR, tryig local food in the stalls… Herds of scooters are filling the dusty street… People are courious seeig you,they smile and despite the language barrier they try to communicate with you. Imagine little girl 8-years old selling fried bananas and tapioca, politely explaining me what she has on sale. Finally she put few samples of her food into the bag and handing me out with the smile “Free, free!” It is Angelina on the picture!
It is Muslim country and many girls like she wear already the scarves…
