    Mobil Rakyat...new cars

    In Thailand most used cars from "tents" have had the airbags removed as they are worth $100 - $1500 a pop. Maybe Indonesia is the same?

    Why Indonesia...?

    Like where I live in rural Asia except their is a village shop 300m away that sells beer, candy and Ice cream. When I lived in Karawang it was the same. People generally moving about by motorcycle so few pedestrians and no hawkers or street stalls. Only tire shops, tools shops and no sidewalk.

    Born in Rumbai

    I've stayed many times at the Mutiara Hotel. It is adequate. You can then walk over the bridge if that is your thing. I would take a Grab or Gojek.

From what I can glean they have cut down an area of mixed tropical hardwood and have or will reforest it with trees to make wood pulp effectively for ever.
