Circulate
By plane
The main international airports are Soekarno-Hatta (CGK) in Cengkareng, Jakarta, Lombok Bandara Internasional (LOP)Praya - Lombok and Ngurah Rai (DPS) at Denpasar, Bali.
There are, however, many cities that have air links with neighboring countries and can be interesting entry points into Indonesia, such as: Medan with flights from / to Penang and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Pekanbaru at Sumatra with flights from / to Malacca, Malaysia and Singapore;
Padang at Sumatra with flights from / to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Singapore;
Pontianak at West Kalimantan from / to Kuching at Sarawak, Malaysia and Singapore;
Tarakan at East Kalimantan from / to Tawau at Sabah, Malaysia;
Manado at North Sulawesi from / to Davao to the Philippines; and Singapore;
Kupang at West Timor from / to Darwin in Australia, and Dili, East Timor.
Companies from countries in the Middle East often offer the best prices. In return, the stopovers may be longer.
The competition due to the increase in the number of Low-Cost companies for domestic or medium-haul flights has made the fares particularly attractive, often even cheaper than other more exhausting boat-bus combinations. See in particular Air Asia, Tiger airways and Jetair Asia / Valuair, or look the various lowcost connections in South-East Asia.
By bus
The bus is the most widely used mode of transport in Indonesia. It is payable by many ways and for all buses in Indonesia: - Either by a 15-day pass for 120 $US- Either day by day- Or by a 1 year pass These options are per person
By bus-plus
This means of transport is for the great distances to be crossed. This way it is safer and it is safer to move around in a bus like this. He makes several circuits. it costs 5 $US per slice of 7 km. This option is for one person.
On a boat
Not to mention the ferries that connect in a few hours Sumatra at Java and Java and Bali, Pelni, the main passenger transport company has 28 ships serving 91 ports of the archipelago. To go to the outer islands, economy class fares are about 20% to 40% cheaper than the promotional fares practiced by the companies. flights for the same destinations, at the cost of a much longer journey time (Ex: Surabaya - Kendari via Makassar by plane 3 h 10 - Surabaya - Bau-bau 43 h, not counting the 6 a 12 h usual delay then Bau-Bau - Kendari 5 h ) is almost three times cheaper for the most distant destinations (Ex: Jakarta - Timika). The price includes three frugal meals, served at regular times (to be observed carefully otherwise they will be missed) per day of navigation. cold and hot drinks are available at their discretion, via taps located near the counter where you can pick up your meal tray.
The second company in terms of fleet is Dharma Lautan Utama[3] whose prices are comparable but whose network is less extensive.
By train
Apart from Java, the only regions in Indonesia with a rail network are Sumatra, in the north of the island (provinces of North Sumatra and Aceh), focused on Medan, in the west (province of West Sumatra) and in the south (provinces of South Sumatra and Lampung), centered on Palembang.
For passenger transport, there are three levels of service, ekonomi, bisnis and eksekutif whose prices vary on average in a ratio of 10 for a 37% longer travel time. Example on a journey Jakarta - Surabaya eksekutif class train Argo Bromo Anggrek between 360,000 Rp from 380,000 Rp / journey time 10 h 30 - ekonomi class train Gaya Baru Malam about 35,000 Rp / journey time 14 h 30 for long distances the price of a class ticket eksekutif is close to or greater than that of a plane ticket at the promotional rate, however the number of seats in class ekonomi being limited, especially since since October 1, 2011, PT KA, the national railway company only sells a number of tickets equivalent to the number of seats [4] (previously, the company also sold a large number of standing tickets, the trains were often crowded and the comfort was affected) it is advisable to buy your ticket well in advance. and only for long journeys, you can buy your ekonomi class ticket up to 90 days before departure[5] (compared to only 7 days previously) at station counters or post offices, as was already the case for classes bisnis and eksekutif.
To travel to the island of Java, it is advisable to take the train: you will be able to see beautiful landscapes and move faster than the bus and it will cost you much less than the plane. With a minimum of common sense and elementary precautions, it does not There is no reason to fear particularly for his safety and that of his personal belongings.
By bus
By car
Driving is on the left of the road, the steering wheel is on the right in vehicles.
Signs comply with international standards.
Speed limits:
- Highway and road: between 80 and 100 km / h
- City : 60 km / h
Car rental is possible from the age group between 18 and 25 years, it is mandatory to have an international driving license.
It is preferable to let yourself be driven by a driver because the conduct of the premises is "could not be more" daring: we dislocate by surprise, we keep our hand riveted on the horn, the scooters do not hesitate to overtake between two trucks of front but it almost always passes, the continuous line is only a work of art that everyone ignores (even on blind mountain roads ...). Quite a few drivers drive under the influence of alcohol. Traffic is heavy at all times of the day, even on highways. The paving of the main roads is however correct, at least in high density areas. The motorway network only present on the Island of Java totals nearly 500 kilometers.
The fuel distribution is quite normal even if the number of service stations is limited, the price per liter is cheaper than in Western countries.
Speak
Here are some Indonesian words to help you:
Yes. : Ya.
No. : Tidak. (for a verb or an adjective) or Bukan. (for a person or an object
Hello. (up to 11 h) : Selamat pagi.
Hello. (of 11 h - 15 h) : Selamat siang.
Hello. (of 15 h - 18 h) : Selamat sore.

How are you? : Apa kabar ?
How are you. : Kabar baik.
It's good. : Bagus. (pronounce "bagouS")
The Indonesian language (bahasa indonesia) is relatively easy to learn, chatting with locals will regularly teach you new words and quickly be able to form simple sentences on your own.
Buy
_banknotes.png/400px-Indonesian_Rupiah_(IDR)_banknotes.png)
The Indonesian currency is the rupee (IDR), abbreviated Rp. The value of the rupee collapsed during the economic crisis of 1997 and its exchange rate has slowly declined since then, in 2009 you will need more than Rp 12,000 or so. to buy one euro, you will most often use the thousands ( ribu ) abbreviated rb
Attention, Tiga Puluh can mean 3000 for you and 30,000 for your seller who will have failed to specify ribu !!!!
For higher amounts you will even see jt (juta, million).
The biggest banknote available is Rp 100,000, but it is very inconvenient for most purchases. There are banknotes of 50,000 20,000 10,000 5,000 and finally 1,000 rupees and even rarely 500 rupees.
You will find coins of 1000 Rp, 500 Rp, 200 Rp, 100 Rp, 50 Rp and even 25 Rp. Banknotes printed in 1992 or before are no longer in circulation, but can be exchanged at banks.
Change your money
Changing currencies in Indonesia can cause severe migraines. Banks and bureau de change are widespread in Java, Bali and Lombok, rare on the other islands. It is therefore advisable to stock up on rupees before leaving for remote islands. Money changers are very picky about the condition of banknotes. Banknotes from before 1999 or damaged banknotes (torn, crumpled, soiled, etc.) will very often be rejected. Banks will refuse to change banknotes prior to 1996.
DAB
Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs) are common in major cities of Java, Bali and Lombok and are generally reliable. They are non-existent on most of the other islands.
Your bank will probably charge you between 2.5 and 7 € fees for each ATM withdrawal, regardless of the amount withdrawn, so it may be interesting to withdraw "large" sums to limit the number of withdrawals.
To this end, be aware that the bank's ATMs Danamon allow withdrawing up to 1,500,000 Rp instead of 1,000,000 Rp maximum for most other banks.
Credit card
Be careful when using your credit card, cloning and fraud are major issues in Indonesia.
Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted, but American Express can be problematic. At smaller operations, surcharges of 2-5% over cash are common.
Costs
Living in Indonesia is cheap - as long as you live like an Indonesian. For example, for 10,000 Rp (- of 1 €) you can have a street food, 2 packs of cigarettes kretek, three miles by taxi or three bottles of water. But, as a tourist it is absolutely necessary to negotiate around 50% -70% less than the price initially announced, otherwise you will spend your money very quickly.
Fancy restaurants, hotels and the like will often slap on a 10% service charge plus 6-11% tax. This may be denoted with "" after the price or just written in tiny print on the bottom of the menu.
Eat
Rice is the staple food, of course, and the national dish goes by the name of nasi goreng: fried rice with finely chopped pieces of meat, shrimp and eggs, often cooked in oil ... varies by island. The dishes are usually very spicy (sambal or pedas). Indonesians often eat in warungs, which are simple restaurants with benches around a table or sitting on a bench on the floor. The choice is limited, but the food is relatively good. Here too, the prices are ridiculous.
Some specialties: - mie-goreng: fried noodles with vegetables - Babi guling: spit-roasted suckling pig. Excellent when it is not too greasy. It is never found in Java and Sumatra, predominantly Muslim islands, but rather towards the Sulawazi islands.- Lontong: steamed rice and served in banana leaves which are often found in bali.- Gado gado: salad of cooked vegetables, very spicy and accompanied by peanut sauce - Soto: soup in which bathes a little of everything, like in a stew - Ayam batutu: grilled stuffed chicken, served with vegetables, tapioca and walnuts coconut. Bali specialty - Krupuk: shrimp or fish fritters, instead of bread - Sate or satay: small skewers (usually chicken and pork) cooked over the coals and served with a peanut or soy sauce. Sambal: crushed red peppers with shrimp paste and lemon juice. Fire guaranteed! - Ayam goreng: fried chicken.

In rural areas, as long as you speak Indonesian or have a good dictionary, it is possible to stay in very friendly and typical bed & breakfasts.

Without tipping into totalitarianism, crimes are severely punished in Indonesia ...
Any drug possession, however small, is prosecuted without faith or law. The prison sentences normally foreseen for a few years can turn into capital punishment (a fortiori against nationals ...).
Also be aware that any forced sexual relationship (whether the victim is an adult or a child ...) is also punishable by heavy prison sentences.
Entry into and stay (under extremely precarious conditions, etc.) in the jails must be carried out without delay and must be on site, since France has not signed any extradition agreement with Indonesia.
Before swimming by the sea, it is best to ask the advice of the inhabitants who know better than anyone the dangers of sea currents carrying even the best of swimmers.

Health
Before leaving
Consultez votre médecin (éventuellement votre dentiste) et souscrivez à une compagnie d’assistance couvrant les frais médicaux et de rapatriement sanitaire en veillant, le cas échéant, à être couvert également pour un séjour à l’étranger de plus de 90 jours.
Rage
Plusieurs dizaines de cas de rage sont rapportés, en particulier dans l’île de Bali. Il convient d’adopter une attitude prudente vis-à-vis des animaux (chiens, singes, animaux errants). Afin d’éviter tout risque de morsure, il est déconseillé de les approcher et de les caresser. En cas de morsure, il est impératif de laver soigneusement la zone de morsure (à l’eau et au savon) et de consulter un médecin sans tarder pour bénéficier, si nécessaire, de soins anti-rabiques appropriés.
Prévention des maladies transmises par les piqûres d’insectes
- Malaria : Prévention du paludisme (malaria): maladie parasitaire transmise par les piqûres de moustiques qui impose le recours à des mesures de protection individuelle (sprays, crèmes, diffuseurs électriques, moustiquaires...). À ces mesures, doit s’ajouter un traitement médicamenteux adapté à chaque individu : il convient de s’adresser à votre médecin habituel ou à un centre de conseils aux voyageurs. Le traitement devra être poursuivi après le retour en France durant une durée variable selon le produit utilisé. Classification : Bali : pas de chimioprophylaxie; ailleurs zone 3 .
- Dengue : On constate une recrudescence de cas de Dengue en Indonésie. Six provinces ont été placées en état d’alerte maximale : Jakarta, ouest de Java, est de Kalimantan, sud de Sulawesi, ouest et est de Tenggara. Cette maladie virale est transmise par les piqûres de moustiques : il convient donc de respecter les mesures habituelles de protection (vêtements longs, produits anti-moustiques à utiliser sur la peau et sur les vêtements, diffuseurs électriques, moustiquaires) La dengue pouvant prendre une forme potentiellement grave il est vivement recommandé de consulter un médecin en cas de fièvre (la prise d’aspirine est déconseillée).
- Encéphalite japonaise : Cette maladie, qui n’existe qu’en Asie, se transmet par des moustiques, en zone rurale. La vaccination contre l’encéphalite japonaise peut être nécessaire (à pratiquer dans un centre médical sur place). Dans le cadre d’un voyage touristique, il semble que les mesures physiques (vêtements longs, répulsifs...) soient une arme efficace.
Vaccinations
La mise à jour de la vaccination diphtérie-tétanos-poliomyélite est conseillée.
- Poliomyélite : quelques cas de poliomyélite ont été déclarés dans la région de Sukabumi (située à 120 km de Jakarta) et dans Java-Ouest. Il est recommandé aux voyageurs arrivant en Indonésie de s’assurer que leur vaccination anti-poliomyélite est bien à jour.
- Autres vaccinations conseillées (selon conditions d’hygiène et durée du séjour) : fièvre typhoïde, hépatites virales A et B.
- Autres vaccinations : selon les cas, la vaccination contre la rage et/ou l’encéphalite japonaise peuvent être recommandées.
Dans tous les cas il convient de prendre l’avis de votre médecin ou d’un centre de vaccinations internationales.
Food hygiene
Il est conseillé de ne pas boire l’eau du robinet : préférer les eaux en bouteilles capsulées, d’origine locale ou importées. À défaut, filtrer l’eau et la faire bouillir avant consommation. Eviter la consommation de poisson de viande et de volailles crus.
Sida
Prévalence non négligeable du VIH - sida. Des mesures de prévention doivent être appliquées.
Épidémie de grippe aviaire
La Direction Générale de la Santé recommande aux voyageurs d’éviter tout contact avec les volailles et les oiseaux, c’est-à-dire de ne pas se rendre dans des élevages ni sur les marchés aux volatiles. Les recommandations générales d’hygiène lors des voyages dans les pays en développement, qui visent à se protéger des infections microbiennes, sont préconisées : éviter de consommer des produits alimentaires crus ou peu cuits, en particulier les viandes et les œufs ; se laver régulièrement les mains à l’eau et au savon ou un soluté hydro-alcoolique. Le virus se transmet par voie aérienne (voie respiratoire) soit par contact direct, notamment avec les sécrétions respiratoires et les matières fécales des animaux malades, soit de façon indirecte par l’exposition à des matières contaminées (par l’intermédiaire de la nourriture, de l’eau, du matériel et des mains ou des vêtements souillés). Les espaces confinés favorisent la transmission du virus.
Conseils généraux
Les hôpitaux privés sont à préférer aux hôpitaux publics. En cas de problème sanitaire important, une évacuation sur Singapour (1H30) ou la France devra être envisagée. Avant le départ, consulter le médecin traitant et contracter une assurance de rapatriement sanitaire.

Respect
Ramadan date
Majority of Muslims insist on local sighting of the crescent moon to mark the start of Ramadan, but others insist on calculating the new moon or declaring it saudi to determine the start of the month. Since the first crescent after the new moon is not visible everywhere at the same time, the start and end dates of the month depend on what is visible in each location. Therefore, the dates vary from country to country, but usually only one day. |
