Bima, an undervalued place in Indonesia
- BACKPACKING

Until a few years back I wondered whether there were still places on our wonderful planet where they had not yet invented tourism. The peninsula Bima with the namesake city on the island of Sumbawa in Indonesia is such a place.

Stories from Bima - Jalan jalan
​- STORY

Everytime I’m in Bima I go jalan jalan. Jalan means street. And jalan jalan has more than one meaning. The most rich people go to drive a little bit with their cars, but the most people from Bima means that they go to drive a little bit around the city with their motorcycle.
