FROM BIAK TO MEDAN covers my travels from Indonesia’s Irian Jaya to Sumatra in 1991.
It was time was before cellphones and ATM.
My modes of transport were tramp liners, jets, prop planes, horses, motorbikes, trains and buses.
I was a ‘mistah’, but soon learned enough Bahasa Indonesian to know that ‘angin’ was dog and that ‘babi bear’ or big pig meant man to cannibals.
These are the first of a series of stories from the Ring of Fire, when I was still younger than yesterday.
Selamat Datang.
