I think, this kind of "food" is common any seefood restaurant in Asia, specially in Indonesia ( i'm from indonesia)
i went to Menado on oct and des 2006.
After 1 full week of diving, i decided to go to 1 of the best seefood restaurant at Menado.
I order Grill Prawn/lobster. You know what they serve me with???
GIANT MANTHIS SHRIMP!!!
i was very shocked!
there is nothing that i could do..., BTW
I live in sumatra island, over here, the same thing is happening as well.
Basically you can eat all kind of seafood, just name it!
what do you want? giant clam? manthis shirmp? grill shark? grill napoleon??
you can get it here in INDONESIA!!!
I believe within 10-20 years, most of the "famous dive spot" in Indonesia will disappear! Indonesia goverment doesnt give a **** about coral reef.
They only care about MONEYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
on last last trip to bunaken (des 29 2006 - jan 2 2007)
i went diving at
Lekuan 1, lekuan 2, Tanjung Kopi, Depan Kampung, and Muka gereja ( all of this dive spot is located at Bunaken)
I saw so many Plastic bag all over this " famous bunaken"
green, black, whiteeee, So colorfullllllllllllllll, so niceeeeeeeee
In my honest opinion, bunaken is a ****ty place now! compare to Bunaken 10 years ago!!
Therefore, my only advise is GO DIVE AT INDONESIA AS MANY AS YOU CAN NOW!!!
you will never see the same thing again within 10-20 years from now!
Please check the newest video at dive podcats,
they show you a local fisherman at Raja Ampat having fun killing shark, to collect the FINS!
and this fisherman has a "permit" from local goverment.
he only need to pay $30 for 1 full month killing shark at raja ampat!
How nice! hahahahha
welcome to Indonesia
