Travel Recommendation Want to see a tropical paradise

before the resorts Submitted by Lainie McKeating

Want to see a tropical paradise before the resorts get built? Come to beautiful Belitung Island, off the east coast of Sumatera. What you get is low prices, undisturbed and stunning (truly) beaches, and amazingly friendly people. What you give up is Western tourist infrastructure like tons of hotel and restaurant options and most everyone having great English. Beach lounging chairs are even nonexistent but even so, I can't stop thinking about how incredible Belitung's beaches are. Belitung used to be a massive tin mining area. This came to a halt during the financial crisis of the late 1990's, and an economic depression followed. Then in 2005 Indonesia's best-selling work of fiction, Laskar Pelangi (the Rainbow Troops) was published, about a group of kids on the island and how they grew up together. That's when the first batch of fans started to trickle in, wanting to see where the story took place. The film version was made on the island in 2008, and since then tourism from mostly Indonesians and Malaysians has been growing. Less than 1000 Western tourists visited in 2013, but that is increasing as well. (continues to next page)

On our trip we used Antatour who arranged flights with Sriwijaya Air, rooms at the new international standard Aston hotel, and a car and driver with good English. We visited all around the island, including the eastern city of Manggar (land of 1001 coffee shops), a pepper farm and a Tarsus monkey preserve. The second day was island hopping on a boat, snorkelling and some great beaches as well as a sea turtle preserve. Our last half day was spent in the idyllic sheltered cove of Tanjung Tinggi where Rainbow Troops was filmed. We would definitely go back to this undiscovered gem only a one hour flight from Jakarta. With the beauty and the growing tourism facilities, it won't stay hidden for long.

Are you new to post Jakarta or confused about our residential

warden system and how it works? Annex 810, 12:00 -1:00PM

Taxi Safety in Jakarta Choose a taxi with a good reputation (Blue Bird, Silver Bird, Express) There should be a taxi I.D on the dashboard, which contains the taxi's I.D and the

driver's I.D, complete with the picture. Match the picture with the driver. If they don't match get out.

Note the number on the taxi driver ID or take a picture of it with your phone. BEFORE the taxi moves, check your door. Can you open it from inside? If not, tell

the driver to stop ... and unlock the child's lock on the inside of the door jam ... OR ... consider taking a different taxi.

Have an idea where you are going, so if you know you are going in the right direction.

Have your emergency contact numbers programmed in the phone. If you feel uncomfortable have the number ready so you just have to press the call

button and keep the line open.

Medical Unit From the Med Unit Team– helping you maintain a healthy tour in Indonesia

ANNEX: Mon-Fri 07:00-16:00 SJHU: Mon 14:00-1700, Wed 14:30-17:00 & Fri 14:00-17:00

CHANCERY: Tues 09:00-11:00 & Thurs 09:00-11:00 (by appointment only)

Please schedule an appointment by calling (6221) 3435 9200

Get Your Flu Shot! The Southern Hemisphere Flu Vaccination has arrived in the Health Unit and is available to all AMER, EFM and FSN. The Health Unit recommends that while in Indonesia you protect yourself against both flu seasons (N. Hemisphere and S. Hemisphere), as the viral strain this year is different. This means that even if you received the flu vaccine in October/November last year, you should still receive the 2015 ‘summer’ (S. Hemisphere) vaccination.

Where can you get the flu vaccine? Annex: Walk-ins for vaccinations available Monday-Friday from 08:30-12:00 and 13:00-1600. Please note, patients seen on first come, first serve basis and will be fitted around scheduled appointments Chancery: Tuesdays and Thursdays 09:00-10:00 SJHU: Wednesdays 14:30-17:00 (times will change in August)

Out-Processing

Are you finishing your tour in Jakarta? Don’t forget to schedule an appointment with the Health Unit to complete your Out-Processing requirements. You and your family need to be seen by the Health Unit to be assessed for the following: Upon completing your assessment your health records will be returned to you.

What’s happening? Keeping you up to date with health promotion activities!

WALK TO BALI- Pedometer Challenge! Don’t forget to pick up your pins from the Health Unit once you have reached each ‘destination’. Pedometers are now available at the Health Unit. Please drop by to pick up your free pedometer. Make sure you are tracking your progress on ‘Your Pedometer Log’. Remember, this program is to encourage you to get you up and moving! Your goal is 10,000 steps per day.

NOTICE: SJHU is currently open on Wednesdays only. Monday and Friday clinics will resume in August, date TBA.

FREQUENTLTY ASKED QUESTIONS How is the immunization given? The vaccine is given by intramuscular injection (nasal spray is not available). Who can receive the vaccine? All persons, aged 6 months and older can safely receive the vaccine. Pregnant women and women who are breastfeeding can safely receive the vaccine. The vaccine is contraindicated in persons with an egg allergy. Inform the nurse if you have had any abnormal reaction with a previous vaccine. Is the vaccine ‘alive’? The flu vaccine is inactivated, meaning it does not contain any live influenza viruses. The vaccine produces immunity by mimicking the flu virus. Your body will react because it thinks you have the flu. This will result in some ‘flu-like’ symptoms. When the body realizes it is actually not infected with the flu virus, the symptoms resolve. What are possible side effects of the vaccine? Possible side effects include redness, minor swelling and pain at the site of injection. Fever, fatigue, headaches, join and muscle soreness can occur but usually disappear within 1-2 days.

TB skin test Review need for primaquine

Review need for prescriptions/ referrals Update immunizations/ travel vaccines

Medical clearance (if next tour is in CONUS)

Walk to Bali Tip #5: Use the Annex gym. Hop on the tread mill for 10 minutes to increase your daily steps!

Absolutely the best Driver—Truly, THE BEST! Pak Sumardi has been with us since we first arrived in Jakarta. He is smart, maneuvers traffic like champ and is 100% reliable. Pak Sumardi is one of the major keys to our family’s healthy morale here in Jakarta. His English is good. He maintains our car perfectly, gets along very well with our other staff members. He’s been a driver for over 20 years and knows Jakarta inside and out. He anticipates our needs and acts intuitively. He is happy to work! He is not lazy at all, in fact he is always willing to stay late and do what is needed. Pak Sumardi has been my “Mom taxi” while we both work fulltime. He attends my youngest son’s soccer practices as his guardian. Pak S. plays soccer in our yard with our son just because he enjoys being busy and active. Pak Sumardi has a JIS and Embassy badge that allows him to enter the parking areas and run errands for us. We trust him as a driver and care taker, of sorts, for our kids. When my older kids stay out late he is happy to stay and ensure their safe return home. He has an excellent disposition and works hard to please his employer. Pak Sumardi prefers working in South Jakarta, FOA, Essence, Brawijaya areas, but will also consider Kemang. Available August 2 or possibly sooner. Please contact Lainie McKeating for more information [email protected] or feel free to contact Sumardi directly 081315754736 (7/15) Excellent Pembantu Available End of August Ibu Yanti will be available to clean, wash/iron clothes, and take care of your children at the end of August 2015. She was my nanny/housekeeper for one year. Ibu Yanti was entrusted with taking care of our 4-month-old baby while also efficiently cleaning our home when the baby slept. She is extremely reliable, diligent, loving, and trustworthy. She worked full-time, Monday – Friday and did my grocery shopping once a week, dropped-off/picked-up our dry-cleaning, washed and ironed our clothes. She speaks and reads English well and we often communicated via texting one another or by leaving notes. Ibu Yanti prefers to be a live-out nanny/housekeeper. We are the second US Embassy family she has worked for in the past 3 years. Before that, she worked for an western oil company family for 6 years and came highly recommended. Ibu Yanti passed her RSO background and medical physical exam/checks. For any questions/concerns, please contact me at [email protected] or to schedule an interview with Ibu Yanti call or text her directly at HP: 0813-1041-2584. (7/15)
