In the summer of 2002 I made a research trip to Indonesia, to study some species of swiftlets that live there. I have to say, Indonesia is a stunningly beautiful country. Is there a better way to combine research with pleasure? Don't think so. The pictures you see on this page are just the tip of the iceberg, but they should be enough to make you think "That lucky bastard!". Am I right or am I right? |
