- the beautiful Seram Island -

I would like to share my experience about going to East Indonesia. Man, this was my first time going to Maluku Island. Honestly, I kinda got excited..nervous..excited..nervous..huh..it was all mixed up..hahaha…

I took a flight from Jakarta-Ambon at 1.30 am!!!! Duh, I’ve never taken a flight this early. This flight went about 3 hours. After that, I must wait for another flight that took me to Bula. This short flight, from Ambon to Bula spent about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Ambon and Bula are located in Seram Island, but unfortunately they are located quite far. If you see the map, Ambon is located in the west of Seram Island, and Bula in the east of the island.

Hmmm…here, i’m gonna share about how beautiful the nature of East Indonesia is. Thanks to GOD, who has created this marvelousness.

These photos below I took from the road to our camp. It’s very natural, the forest still exists
guys..Go Go Green..!!

This one I took from the rigsite at 4 am. Sunrise time Man, it’s an amazing view from there..

Now, these are the view I took from above, during my flight back to Ambon from Bula. I still amazed with these

(see the rainbow in the picture above ? )

Well, this is only just my sharing to you guys. There is still so much works we need to do to maintain this beauty of our nature. And don’t forget, thanks to GOD, for all his greatness upon us. GOD just entrusts this nature to us, so don’t let him down okay
(a little bit religious huh…?? Well, that’s what our life meant to be… )

Cheers…

- esia GOGO, it’s easier now… -

guys,

if you want to go outown, but you don’t want to seperate from your esia number, well…you can just activate a feature called “Esia GOGO“…

Now, the procedures to activate the feature are easier than before..

Well, basically, there are two kinds of activation, daily and regular (langganan). You can activate it as your needs.

• esia GOGO Daily
  Just send an SMS contains [Destination city] then send it to “6060″ or just call “*6060” (without the double-quote, of course ) then just follow the next instructions (it’s easier for me to call *6060… )
  it’s absolutely free for this feature..!!!
• esia GOGO Regular (langganan)
  Just send an SMS contains REG<space>[Destination city] then send it to “6060″ or just call “*6060″ then just follow the next instructions (see, it’s easier.. )
  But, you have to pay for this feature, only Rp. 6.000,- + tax / 6 months (well, it’s cheap enough..)

But don’t forget, if you still want to call your friend outown (interlokal), please use 01010 before dialing the number (e.g. 0101002198754321 if I call it from Bandung…)
