Intriguing Indonesia – Singapore to Benoa, Bali

Singapur, oder auch „die Drachenstadt“, liegt am äußersten Zipfel der Malaiischen Halbinsel und ist in der ganzen Welt für ihren verblüffenden wirtschaftlichen Erfolg und ihre kosmopolitische Lebensweise bekannt. Als Handelszentrum weit im Osten, kann sie stolz auf ihr beispielhaftes multikulturelles Profil sein, welches chinesische, indische und malaiische Traditionen miteinander verbindet. Sie werden von den vielen Kunstausstellungen überrascht sein, welche kulturelle Brücken zwischen dem Osten und dem Westen schlagen, wenn Sie, von Chinatown über den Colonial District nach Little India, von einem Viertel in das nächste schlendern.

The port of Badas is part of the greater township of Sumbawa Besar, on the island of Sumbawa. Like most of Sumbawa the people hold their culture strong as a major part of their identity. The island has a strong influence from the Makassarese of Sulawesi, who over the centuries have introduced a lot of their culture into Sumbawa. Join your expedition team and local guides for a tour by bus to Pamulung Village where you will be welcomed by the head of the village and have the opportunity to witness first-hand the local traditions of rice pounding, weaving and also witness a wedding procession. Your visit will conclude with an exciting Sumbawa buffalo race, an event that will be held in honour of our visit.
