On the Rio: String Cheese Incident ~ Ramble On, 11/17/2000, Tabernacle, Atlanta, GA

Congratulations! You are reading my 100th blog posting.

I spent most of my Chinese New Year holiday in Bintan, Indonesia.

Bintan is the largest of 3,200 islands in the Riau archipelago region of Indonesia. It is located about 45 km SE of Singapore, and is accessible by a 45 minute ferry ride, and is approximately 100 km from the equator.

Here are the top 10 things to do while at the Bintan Resort.

1. Walk on the beach.

2. Lay on the beach and take pictures.

3. Watch the elephant riders pass by. The elephant was fun to watch, as he kept having to move the cloth out of his eyes with his trunk. 4. Watch the birds land on the rocks. 5. Watch the tide go out, and then walk along the sea floor to see strange creatures.6. Lounge in the pool.

7. Swim over to the pool bar.

8. Take a shuttle bus to the Calypso Bar, where they make a very tasty Reggaefusion drink (don't ask me what was in it).

9. Watch the sunset.

10. Repeat for the next 4 days.
