  • Nytårsrejsen Til Filippinerne – 2014
    Nytårsrejsen til Filippinerne – 2014. Martins Dagbog Dorte og Michael kørte os til Kastrup, og det lykkedes os at få en opgradering til business class - et gammelt tilgodebevis fra lidt lægearbejde på et Singapore Airlines fly. Vi fik hilst på vore 16 glade gamle rejsevenner ved gaten. Karin fik lov at sidde på business class, mens jeg sad på det sidste sæde i økonomiklassen. Vi fik julemad i flyet - flæskesteg med rødkål efterfulgt af ris á la mande. Serveringen var ganske god, og underholdningen var også fin - jeg så filmen "The Hundred Foot Journey", som handlede om en indisk familie, der åbner en restaurant lige overfor en Michelin-restaurant i en mindre fransk by - meget stemningsfuld og sympatisk. Den var instrueret af Lasse Hallström. Det tog 12 timer at flyve til Singapore, og flyet var helt fuldt. Flytiden mellem Singapore og Manila var 3 timer. Vi havde kun 30 kg bagage med tilsammen (12 kg håndbagage og 18 kg i en indchecket kuffert). Jeg sad ved siden af en australsk student, der skulle hjem til Perth efter et halvt år i Bergen. Hans fly fra Lufthansa var blevet aflyst, så han havde måttet vente 16 timer i Københavns lufthavn uden kompensation. Et fly fra Air Asia på vej mod Singapore forulykkede med 162 personer pga. dårligt vejr. Miriams kuffert var ikke med til Manilla, så der måtte skrives anmeldelse - hun fik 2200 pesos til akutte fornødenheder. Vi vekslede penge som en samlet gruppe for at spare tid og gebyr - en $ var ca. 45 pesos. Vi kom i 3 minibusser ind til Manila Hotel, hvor det tog 1,5 time at checke os ind på 8 værelser.

  • Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Philippines
    Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Philippines Just finished touring Indonesia, Brunei, Malaysia and the Philippines which seems a logical breakpoint for a trip report before we get to China and the mainland. Regarding Indonesia, we never before had a real appreciation for how big the country actually is in terms of being an archipelago (over 13,400 islands with almost 6,000 occupied) and population (over 260 million ranking fourth in the world.) Indonesia stretches some 3,100 miles east to west and just over 1,000 miles north to south. Nearly half the population lives on the island of Java which has the second densest population per square mile in the world (next to Singapore). Motor bikes and cycles outnumber automobiles by far. Brunei, on the other hand, is a tiny sovereign state (the size of Rhode Island) on the Indonesian island of Borneo with a population of about 420,000. It is an extraordinarily rich country based on extensive oil and natural gas reserves. Malaysia is unique in that it is separated by the South China Sea into two regions; Peninsular Malaysia on the mainland adjacent to Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam and Indonesia and East Malaysia which is adjacent to Brunei and Indonesia. The population is over 30 million. It is a vibrant, growing country with an envious economy based on natural resources and a growing tourist trade. It has a very advanced healthcare system managed by the government. Lastly, the Philippines is comprised of over 7,600 islands and has a population of just over 100 million (ranking twelfth in the world.) The United States has a long history with the Philippines and large numbers of the population have immigrated to America.
