Sumatra and Java
The best time to travel to Sumatra and Java is from May to September. The monsoon season lasts from November until March, with most of the rain falling in the late afternoon. It is best to avoid travelling to Sumatra during these months as the monsoon rains can be very heavy, making roads inaccessible. Temperatures average 22-29 degrees all year round.
Bali
The dry season on Bali lasts from April until September, with May, June and July being the coolest months when temperatures 'drop' to 28C. The monsoon season starts in October and lasts until March, but in between the monsoon showers you can expect clear blue skies and plenty of sunshine. The best time to go on a Bali adventure tour is in the drier, cooler months from May until August, with high temperatures during the day and cooler evenings.
Nusa Tenggara (Lombok, Flores, the Gilis)
The difference between the dry and wet season is bigger here than in other areas of Indonesia. The driest months are August and September, the wettest are November and February. The duration of the dry and wet seasons varies per island. The climate on Lombok is similar to Bali, and the same goes for Sumbawa and Flores. Generally, the closer to Australia you get, the longer the dry season.
Sulawesi
The South-West has its monsoon season from October to March. In the North, around Manado, most of the rain falls between June and July, but the dry season lasts from August until October. Temperatures can vary significantly; along the coast it can be very hot with temperatures of around 34C, whereas the hills can be cool with a maximum around 24C, cool enough to need a jumper in the evening.

Indonesia, without a doubt, is one of the most fascinating countries in SE Asia. From the jungles and lakes of Sumatra, to the cultural heart of the nation, Java, onward to Bali, Flores, Sulawesi, West Papua, Ambon, the Banda Islands, and West Papua - every step is one of discovery.
Let me provide you with a few tips which should make navigating this incredibly diverse country, Indonesia.

Cultural Sensitivity
Indonesia is the largest Moslem country in the world. Although Islam is the state religion, there are parts of the country where other religions are prevalent. Northern Sulawesi is 90% Christian, the Balinese are predominantly Hindu, and in the Malukus and Flores Moslems and Christians live side by side - usually peacefully. When visiting places of worship, whether it's a mosque, a temple or a church, please ensure that you are conservatively dressed. Remember to take of your shoes before entering a mosque or a temple. Ladies should wear tops with longish sleeves, skirts which go below the knee, or loose fitting, long pants. As far as clothing in general is concerned, please don't take Kuta as being typical for the rest of the country. If you go out to a restaurant (other than in Kuta) or if you are invited to visit an Indonesian home, smart - casual clothing is fine. Local people really appreciate it if you can use a few words of Bahasa Indonesia, the language which binds Indonesia, and crosses geographical and cultural diversity in this huge archipelago.
Visa Regulation
To enter Indonesia your passport needs to be valid for at least another 6 months from your date of entry. Immigration officials are on the look out for passports which have less validity and are within their rights to deny you entry into Indonesia.
7 day Visa on Arrival was abolished in January 2010
30 day Visa on Arrival
At the time of writing the cost for a 30 day Visa on Arrival for Indonesia is US$25, which you should pay in US$ cash, with unmarked, clean bank notes which were issued after 2001. Since January 2010 this visa can be extended once, by 30 days, whilst here in Indonesia. To be totally frank, the procedure is a hassle, and if you think you might be spending more than 30 days in Indonesia, get a 60 day Tourist visa before entering Indonesia.
60 day Tourist Visa
You need to obtain the 60 day Tourist visa before entering Indonesia. The good news is that since January 2010 this visa can be extended in Indonesia. If you intend to travel to West Papua Province, or you are planning on extending your 60 day visa, please have 4-6 spare passport photos with you.
For further information about visa regulations check out the website of your nearest Indonesian Embassy or Consulate.
Money
The local currency is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). It's always a good idea to carry some small banknotes (Rp 1000, 2000, 5000) with you when shopping in local shops (toko) or planning to eat at a warung (small local restaurant or food stall). If you intend to travel to, or stay for any length of time off the beaten track, you are going to need to carry sufficient Indonesian cash with you to pay for accommodation, food and transport. Please don't rely on being able to exchange foreign currency. With the advent of ATMs, Travelers cheques have pretty much gone out of fashion.
Health
By far the biggest danger to tourist's health are dehydration and sunburn. Please try to drink at least 2 litres of water per day. Coffee, tea, beer, juice and other fluids really don't count. Indonesia is in the tropics, and you'll probably be spending quite a lot of time out of doors, so protect yourself and use a good quality sun block, as well as wearing a hat.
In Bali there is currently a problem with rabies spread by sick dogs. If you are scratched or bitten by a dog, you need to get medical care as quickly as possible.
Water - even local people drink bottled water! Sex is fun, but please make sure that condoms are used should you have a close encounter of a (very) personal kind during your stay in Indonesia. All kinds of STDs, including HIV/AIDS are widespread, so please take precautions.
Drugs
Drugs should be an absolute no-no. Don't be tempted to get any drugs whilst you are in Indonesia. If you spend any length of time around Kuta, Legian, or Seminyak, you will probably be offered some - please say no. You could very well be dealing with a police informant - which means that you wont be using your return ticket home!
Personal Safety
Please don't let sensationalist media reporting put you off from visiting Indonesia. For tourists Indonesia is as safe as other countries. As things are today, unfortunately, any public place in the world could be - the wrong place at the wrong time. To avoid being the victim of petty crime, just don't show off expensive consumer electronics, cameras or jewelry in public. I have been visiting Indonesia, and other parts of South East Asia since the mid 1970s, and I have never had a problem with theft or bag snatching. Don't become a virtual traveler in your own lounge room, getting second hand experiences by watching travel shows on television - get out there and experience the magic first hand.
Packing List
Get a packet of zip-lock bags at the nearest supermarket. They are essential if you like snacking, and you want to keep ants and cockroaches out of your room/bed/backpack. Take toilet paper, and soap, as these are NOT provided in budget accommodation. Instead of carrying soap and hair shampoo, I tend to use shower gel which is also OK to wash your hair with.
With digital cameras often having very specific batteries, don't forget the charger which came with your camera
Take a torch (flash light), as power interruptions are not unusual. Also footpath, if they exist, are notorious for being uneven, and often having huge holes in them. Mosquito coils, or spray, and/or personal insect repellent is something you should definitely not forget. Remember to have bottled water in your room, you can NOT drink the tap water. I use tap water to brush my teeth, but if you have a sensitive stomach, I would suggest that you use bottled water for that as well. before
Hopefully the above tips help you in having a great time in Indonesia. Just one other thing - if at all possible bring rechargeable batteries and an appropriate charger, or a spare battery and charger for your specific camera. There is no safe means of disposing of used batteries in this country, which creates environmental and health hazards.
Come on over and have a look around, but be warned visiting Indonesia is a health hazard - it's addictive!

The Gold Dinar remained the official Islamic currency until the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in 1924, when it disappeared for 77 years. Indonesia as a country with highest muslim population in the world must have a big history about Islam economic. Islamic currency had ever been exist in Indonesia.
Nowadays most of Indonesian people do not know that Dinar and Dirham were ever made and applied in Indonesia as a legal money more than 600 years ago. In Ying Yai Sheng Lan book, written by Ma Huan, the office clerk and translator of Admiral Cheng Ho, during his visiting to North Sumatera (1405-1433), said that Samudera Pasai used Dinar with 70% gold, and Keueh made from tin (1 Dinar = 1600 Keuehs). As we know, Cheng Ho was a voyager. He was born around 1371 in China's southwestern Yunan Province (just north of Laos) with the name Ma Ho. Ma Ho's father was a Muslim hajji (who had made a pilgrimage to Mecca) and the family name of Ma was used by Muslims in representation of the word Mohammed.

Samudera Pasai published first Dinar as Sultan Muhammad held the power (1297-1326). In the period of Sultan Ahmad Malik az-Zahir, Dinar was better known as Derham Mas, published in 2 form, Derham and half Derham (1346-1383). Then when Aceh conquered Samudera Pasai (1524), tradition of publishing Derham Mas spreaded out to entire Sumatera and Malaka Peninsula, even Derham was still applied till Nippon army got landed in Seulilmeum, Aceh Besar, on 1942. Today, the use of gold unit (1 gold = 2.5 gr) can still be found in West Sumatera, as a measurement of trading, especially for land trading.

The Secret to Learning French Language

Learning a new language is difficult for most people. Living in a world where everyone is busy with work we want to get results fast and want to learn to talk a new language fast. However, learning a new language is never easy and will take a lot of time and concentrated effort.
Firstly, to learn a new language you have to learn the alphabet system of the language. For languages like Chinese, Japanese or Korean the alphabet is very different. Therefore, these languages are considered to be more time-consuming to learn especially reading and writing the language. Second, you have to learn the phonetics of the language. The way consonants and vowels are sounded out is different in every language. Thirdly, you need to learn as many words as you can which may take a while as you will need to know about 1000 words vocabulary to begin to be fluent in the language.
Next, you have to learn word properties as the properties will tell you how to construct a meaningful sentence. The easiest way to learn and understand how to construct sentences is by listening to a native speaker of that language. It is recommended to not learn grammatical rules when first learning a language because you will be de-motivated by the apparent illogical structure of the language. When you learned to speak as a child you did not learn the rules of grammar of the language first. You learned single syllable words such as cat, dog, big, small, hot, cold etc. Then you graduated to two syllable words eg mother, father, brother, sister etc. You would have learned some simple verbs eg talk, walk, run, eat, sleep etc. You learned some adjectives that enabled you to be more expressive. Finally you started to construct simple sentences eg I am cold, you are sleeping, I like small dogs etc. You would not have learned to read and write until you could fluently speak English. And you certainly did not learn grammar until you could read and write English basics and attended school.
Why is it that most foreign language courses commence with teaching the complex rules of grammar for a language. This is an unnatural way to learn a language. Not to mention students become bored very quickly and their rate of learning slows down.
Motivation is the key element to learning any language. And a teaching method that keeps students motivated through the early stages of learning a new language is the key to successfully transitioning the student to advanced language study and fluency. Once a student becomes fluent learning more of the language is much easier and fun. The student develops a high level of confidence with the language and actually enjoys communicating with native language speakers
The French language software approach is to copy the way we learned to speak English as a child. The absolute best way to learn French is by listening and repeating what others are saying. You copied your parents and family. The child just copies and learns.
Software that makes use of interactive learning activities and entertaining word games results in greater memory retention and a faster learning outcome. Fun learning games always help students to stay motivated during the learning process resulting in a faster, easier and more productive learning experience.

German Language Courses

If you are looking for German language courses, then read this article first. In the end, it does not matter how big and reputable a language school is - it matters what you get from it and how easy and fast it will make the process of language acquisition.
Many people think that they will get a good learning experience when they sign up for one of the major schools - the reasoning behind it is that if so many people sign up for their courses, there must be something to it.
And of course - these language schools do have well-designed coursework. But at the same time, learning by visiting an actual school building is actually a not so effective way of learning a language. A lot of time gets wasted just on going there and coming back a couple of times a week.
What's more - there often are discussions and clarifications when some student does not understand a certain topic. This is good for the particular individual, but it slows down the learning process of the entire class dramatically. Many times, clarifications will be given on things that you are clear about already - simply because someone else doesn't understand the subject properly.
In the time of the internet, nobody really needs to attend a language class anymore - it can all be done online. A lot faster, more efficient and also cheaper. With these kinds of German language courses, you can learn at your own pace. There often are also tutors who will help you to resolve individual questions and explain to you exactly what you want to know in a very fast manner. To conclude this article, I want to leave you with one of the most valuable pieces of advice that I have ever been given when it comes to learning German: always learn phrases, not vocabulary!
This is something that so many people get totally wrong, because it is taught that way in school. But you really do not need to learn single words - instead, you want to learn phrases, because phrases are the building blogs of spoken language. It is a much faster way of mastering a language, particularly a language like German where there are many complicated grammatical rules.
