I was now in Jakarta, and I need to take any air flight company I want for this. I could use any airports around my place to visit Kalbar.
Is there any flight schedule at your web blog, web master?
It was wonderful thing to visit Kalbar in terms of Visit Kalbar 2010 indeed, but I don't have to wait until that year if I want to do it now. Pontianak will always part of Indonesia in general.
Do you know something about the sea schedule, I mean direct schedulle from Mojokerto to this area?. well I think I must go to Jakarta first. Am I right?
I am interested in getting to know about Imlek or Chinese year year that held in Singkawang City. Would you mind telling the complete stories written by your staff regarding celebrating new year of Chinese in Singkawang?
