Singapore is an island country in Southeast Asia. It lies just one degree north of the equator, at the southernmost tip of continental Asia and peninsular Malaysia. Singapore is a global commerce, financial and transportation centre and its port is the world's busiest port. Singapore is a city with great cultural diversity, combining Chinese, Malay and Indian influences. The city offers tasty food, great shopping opportunities, a vibrant night-life and a very cosmopolitan feeling. Most of the city’s tourist attractions are concentrated in three areas: Orchard Road, the colonial district and Sentosa.
Surabaya is located on northeastern Java, along the edge of the Madura Strait in Indonesia. Surabaya was once the largest city in Dutch East Indies and the center of trading in the nation. Today, the city is full of parks, tree-lined streets, extensive shopping centers and boutiques. Travellers can visit the Bonbin Surabaya, one of the largest zoos in Southeast Asia, the Grand Mosque of Surabaya and the Mpu Tantular Museum of Javanese culture.
The city is famous for its mangoes, locally called mangga manalagi. Strong dry-season winds from July to September, help the mango trees pollinate and are sometimes credited with being the source of the area's quality fruit. The city formerly produced grapes as well, but few grapes are grown in the area now.
Komodo is an island, located in the center of the Indonesian archipelago. It is part of the Lesser Sunda chain of islands and forms part of the Komodo National Park, one of the richest marine environments. The island is the habitat of the Komodo dragon, the largest lizard on Earth, which is named for the island. These giant lizards are the main attraction of the island, but you have to be very careful since they are really dangerous.
Lombok is an island in West Nusa Tenggara province, Indonesia. The Lombok Strait separates the island from Bali to the west. Lombok has breathtaking turquoise bays, exquisite white-sand beaches, epic surf, lush forests, and hiking trails through tobacco and rice fields. The majestic volcano Gunung Rinjani, with several hot springs and a dazzling crater lake, dominates the place.
Semarang is a city on the north coast of the island of Java, Indonesia. It is the capital and largest city of Central Java. Semarang has its own charm with Dutch colonial architecture and strong Chinese influences that can be seen in the temples and city houses. It is worth visiting the temple at Borobudur, one of the greatest manmade wonders of the world that lies in the Kedu Plain. This Buddhist temple lay covered in volcanic ash for nearly a millennium until it was rediscovered in 1814.
Before human development, the coastal area of what is now Tanjung Priok was an area of brackish water with swamp and mangrove forest. The area was developed in the late nineteenth century as a new harbor of Batavia to replace the Sunda Kelapa harbor area to the west that had become too small for the increased traffic resulting from the opening of the Suez Canal. The construction of the new harbor was started in 1877 by Governor General Johan Wilhelm van Lansberge (1875-1881). The new harbor was named Tandjong Priok. Several facilities were built to support the function of the new harbor, such as the Tanjung Priok Station (1914). Tanjung Priok is variously spelled in history as "Tandjong Priok", "Tandjoeng Priok" or "Tanjon Preeq".
