Indonesia

Time spent: 21 days
Mosquito bites: things keep biting my feet and ankles, they look a right state
On budget/time: Well made my plane and just about on budget
Lost/stolen: Lost the hat in unfortunate wind incident
Sound of Indionesia: Everyone likes to play music in Indonesia, many a person is seen strumming a guitar. On transport was subjected to a variety of local music from amateurish to extremely slick.
Taste of Indonesia: The food here was pretty poor, except in expensive places in Ubud and Kuta, otherwise it was just more Mie Goreng and Nasi Goreng and Sate.
Drink of Indonesia: Beer Bintang wasn't so bad.
Highlights of Indonesia: Borobudur, volcanoes, and Tirta Gangga

If you been following the blog you'll know I found it harder going in indonesia. In Sumatra because there were so few tourists there was a lot of touting, but not ripping off (unlike Bali). Maybe it was just a culmination of all the time in Asia that made ready to leave. i found it hard to meet other travelers here, but the locals were extremely friendly (first country I've been to peoples houses, and, er, played badminton.

It was the longest I'd spent in a country since India too.
