Atlas South Sea Pearl, one of the leading pearl company in the world has a number of farms in Indonesia, which one of them located in Alyui Bay - Raja Ampat, West Papua - Indonesia.


At the moment, the farm in Alyui site has 400.000 pinctada maxima oysters placed in more than 230 long lines at 7 different areas. Imagine how many marine organism live around this habitat? for sure, it is interesting to explore the underwater treasures as well as the farm routines.

Wayag - Raja Ampat, West Papua - Indonesia

Splendid, beautiful, awesome, amazing, and other great comments from visitors that have just visited this island, Wayag. It is one of the amazing scenery on earth, indeed. Climbing a slip limestone karst and went to the tip, is worth a try. 1 hr drive (by boat) from we live (alyui bay) to reach this area. A very popular site to visit in the northern part of Raja Ampat.


Pristine beach, crystal clear water, pinnacles reef, all the best thing I can tell. A designated conservation area where there are vast schools of fish, corals, and mollusk surrounded by the atolls. The beauty of nature hidden at the east part of Indonesia, the jewel of underwater treasure. Such abundant of high biodiversity, it's all there awaits you.

Singapore - The Lion City

1st time I visited Singapore in 2009, I impressed with the city development, very well managed and systematic. Singapore is a city state island country situated just on the north tip of Indonesia. This lion city has half of imigrant population. The greatest place for living in Asia.


This multicultural country appeals 10 million visitors per/year by its recreation and gaming places, sports, shopping malls, museums, zoos, culinaries, and other thousands attractions. Tourism is the biggest revenue for the country then follow by shipping. Singapore's port plays an important role as the gate of export/import for many countries. It is one of the five busiest port in the world.


Singapore, a popular travel destination. I love Singapore, my favourite city in Asia.

Winter in Europe

Holiday winter in europe is great. I travelled around Europe from the end of october to begining of december 2008. It was just the begining of winter when i arrived there and it was already pretty cold - for indonesian anyway :-). Almost places that i visited was around 1C to 6C. During the last november, a part of Europe, which is belgium has experienced temperatures below -2C and snow has fallen but it was only for 3 days then rest of my winter holiday was no snow - it was gone with the wind.


Belgium
"The Heart of Europe". It is the best kept secret in Europe. Visiting medieval cities, quaint towns, gothic cathedrals and town halls. A home for chocolates, beer, pastry, diamonds, and the two main linguistic groups, the Dutch speakers/Flemish and the French speakers/Waloong.


Germany
Germany's cities have endless pleasant surprises in store for those who enjoy 'printen' biscuits. I experienced everything from the exciting hustle and bustle of the large cities to the cultural wonders.


Holland/Netherland
The home of bicycles. It is small in size, big in events, attractions and activities.
