A group of expatriates cycling around Balikpapan, through the kampungs and forest. This video taught us scene of living in Indonesia and experienced the friendliest people on earth with their smile. To be honest, I thing those bules knows Balikpapan area more than I do

In the end of journey, the finish line is a scene of typical bars in east Balikpapan which is packed with expatriates

Superb video

some area they went seem familiar, but the rest really confused me

......they knew the city most of us indeed

Balikpapaners · October 25th, 2011, 05:17 AM

Video di atas menunjukan betapa kota Balikpapan aman buat para expatriates.... Mereka bebas berinteraksi dan menikmati sudut2 kota

balikpapan · October 25th, 2011, 07:47 AM

Hhmmm... ane juga kenal mod daerah2 yang mrk lalui... mulai turun dari pasir ridge... belok kanan.. menanjak... mengelilingi kampung daerah prapatan.. kemudian dilokasi lain sampai menuju salah satu cafe di batakan

But anyhow... good movies... buat mereka pasti menjadi pengalaman berharga saat mereka kembali ke negara mrk masing2...

Ternyata membuat mereka betah tinggal di Balikpapan tidak harus dgn ke khas-an Balikpapan... keramah tamahan warga kampung juga menyenangkan buat mereka.
