An island with exotic culture and cuisine..

Places I recommend:
Jakarta - The metropolitan capital city of Indonesia with a wide range of choices on cuisine. From 5-star restaurants to hawker's delights where locals hang out and interact.

Yogyakarta - Located in the southern part of central java, this place still strongly hold its strong javanese traditions. Especially because it has the largest javanese sultan's palace inside. Taste the unique local food and experience the authentic javanese culture.

Gracie, I'm not sure if you've seen AB's show from Indonesia already, but you might want to check out this video on the site: http://www.travelchannel.com/V...il?videoRef=TITLE408

I thought his Indonesia show was one of his best ever. Near the end, he contemplates just shucking his current life and moving there; that's how impressed he was with the culture, scenery and food. I'm sure he'll go back again.
