Manggar.

Manggar, a small quiet town in eastern Belitong

is known as 'The town with 1001 coffee shops'.

Of course it's not that much, but, there's always

a simple modest traditional coffee shops in every corner of the town.

It's where people met, gather, and communicate each other.

It's the pulse of the town.

 

 



Belitong.

     An enchanting island, with unique landsacpes,

        serveral hills, empty clean streets, with timber houses here and there,

                                                                      spacious natural environment.                                        

                                          Pearly white sandy beaches, 

                                                        crystal clear turquoise water,

                                         a unique landscape

                     with magnificent gigantic granite stones on it's shallow beaches.

 Living is simple. far from over consumption.

one or two traditional markets, no supermarkets,no ATM machines nor movies.

Life is ordinary. nothing fancy, nothing exiting.

But everything is just enough. Quiet.

Caught in the silence of nature.
