After spending 1 night in Manado I headed off to Bunaken on
one of
the public boats on Sunday. I had expected something like a
ferry

lot of
supplies heading to the Island.

WHAT IS
THUNDER?
Thunder sounds like an
explosion. Lightning causes thunder. The sound comes from air that suddenly
gets very hot.
A bolt of lightning can
make the air around it as hot as 18,000° Fahrenheit (10,000° Celsius). That’s
hotter than the surface of the Sun! The hot air rushes away from the lightning
bolt. The air rushing away makes the loud sound of thunder.
You often hear the thunder
after you see a bolt of lightning. This is because sound travels slower than
light. The farther away the lightning is, the longer it takes for you to hear
the thunder. You can tell how far away the lightning is. You can count the
seconds between the lightning and the sound of the thunder it makes. Sound
travels about 1 mile (about 1.6 kilometers) every 5 seconds. If you count
slowly to 5 and hear thunder, the lightning bolt was about 1 mile away. If you
count to 15 before you hear thunder, the lightning bolt was 3 miles away.

I had never been camping before I met my best friend, Jacklyn. I didn’t know
that camping meant sleeping out in nature, in a tent. I guess I didn’t really
think about it at all.
We were off to a nearby campground. We drove in and
paid for our site. It was beautiful. There were ducks and a small lake and up
on the hill there was a pool and small store if you needed anything.
At dusk we lit our fire. It was very nice and pleasant. However I had a small
allergy problem with mosquitoes. I hate bugs, and mosquitoes seem to be the
worse, due to their stinging and being irritating. It was awful, but the camp
fire was nice. Jacklyn told me about her camping stories. They were really
interesting.
After a full night of stories and fire, we settled in out the tent. We slept
in our sleeping bags on the ground. To my surprise, the ground was not wet,
and we had a small air mattress under us. Of course, the mattress wasn’t as
comfortable as mine at home but it was no problem.
Then in the middle of the night I heard scuffling just out of our tent. I
woke Jacklyn and I told her that there was a bear in our camp. She told me to
just go back to sleep. I really didn’t know that there were bears in
local camp grounds.
The next morning I woke to the same noises and found the culprit. It was
ducks. I felt so stupid. To this day we still talked about my first camping
trip.
It was a very memorable experience.

Andreas
was a student of the University of Indonesia. Like many other students, he
did not have much money because his grant was just enough to live on.
Last year, during the semester holiday, he decided to go to Surabaya. He
wanted to visit some friends there. Unfortunately, he could not afford a bus
ticket, and even the train was too expensive. He, therefore, decided to
hitchhike. He caught a bus to reach the highway and waited. It was a cold,
rainy December day. While he was waiting, he got soaked to the skin.
After waiting for hours, he finally got a lift from a truck driver, who was
going to Surabaya. Andreas felt extremely relieved. The truck driver, a
reasonably well-dressed man of around 35 seemed friendly. He and Andreas
talked a lot.
Suddenly, as they were driving along the highway, a police car raced past
them and made them stop. They were taken to the police station because the
police suspected that the truck was carrying stolen goods.
Andreas was interrogated by a detective for two hours. He even had to spend
the night in a cell. He was eventually released the next day. Apparently, the
truck was carrying stolen television sets.
