My Dear Lovely Siti,

Hello!
How are you, sweetie? I know you are angry with me because I am writing to
you after a long time. I am so sorry, please forgive me. You know we are in Lombok
right now. It is beautiful beyond imagination. I am writing to you from this really cute
little café on the Senggigi beach. As you know, mum loves shopping so she went and
will be gone for hours. I took a rain check from shopping and decided to write to you
while I enjoy my cup of coffee.
You know yesterday we went to Gili Nanggu Island; it is a beach on the
southwest of Lombok. The place is awesome. It is beautiful I couldn’t believe my
eyes. There are beautiful coral reefs everywhere. We went for snorkeling and we saw
most amazing fish ever. I wish you were here; it would have been much more fun.
Mum’s making sure we don’t miss any sight in the whole city, so we’ve
practically been everywhere.
I got to go, mum is here. I will see you soon.

Lots of love
XOXO

Lana

The following text is for questions 17 and 18

I read with interest your excellent report in the June issue on motorcycle safety and
the wearing of helmets. This will be very helpful to those who want to enter the world of
motorcycle travel. However, you should have mentioned the advantages of learning to
ride a motorcycle through a formal training course developed by the Motorcycle Safety
Foundation. The course is offered by many local schools and colleges. I learned to ride the
hard way – by myself. Fortunately, the mistakes I made could be corrected in time and
with experience – and without serious accidents. Some beginners are not that lucky. Their
first mistake is their last.

Posted: Thu Aug 04, 2011 9:37 am. Post subject: My first idea

I would book Air Asia flights from London Stansted to Indonesia via Kuala Lumpur,
which you can get for about £540 return. I would fly into Bali, spend a week there, and
then travel for at least two more weeks across Indonesia by land and sea: across Java to
Jakarta, then either a flight home from there (via KL) or onwards to Sumatra and the ferry
back to Malaysia from there!

Total cost:
flights: £540
accommodation (let’s say 16 nights @ £15/night, making the most of overnight
trains/ferries): £240
ferries and trains: £80
excursions: £30 leaving approx £110 for food! (OK, I’ll have to live pretty
economically!!)
