[Ampelio]

The famous "manise" city deserves its own thread in this Nusantara forum. Anyway I've never been to Ambon ever since, but really admire its people and unique culture
....that's why, many more pics contributors are welcome here
....or any Nyong Ambon around here?

Ambon, the provincial capital of Maluku (Moluccas), which is built on a hillside overlooking the bay, has a number of interesting sites of historical and cultural interests. Ambon City is the Main City and seaport of Ambon Island... It is one of the largest cities in eastern Indonesia.

Accordingly, the obtained income from the four wheel vehicles per year only reaches Rp. 0.2926 Trillion and to amortize investment cost of Rp. 6 trillion requires time less than 20 years. Time to return the said investment can be accelerated if the income of two wheel vehicles can be also used for the return of loan capital.

emang, aku akuin kalo bandaranya keren punya..yg unik nih cara ke bandara ini dari pusat kota, bisa ditempuh dengan dua cara.. kalo jalan darat, pake mobil kira-kira satu jam..tapi kalo naek mobil trus nyebrang pake feri, ga sampe setengah jam aja...
