Manado, Indonesia
I would like to offer some comments on the city of Manado. I don't want to unfairly criticize it just because I felt stuck while working out a new game plan. But I am very happy to be leaving. For travelers it's a jumping off point for nearby world-class diving but it's far from a destination in its own right. No significant cultural or religious points of interest. Unless you wish to consider the shopping mall. In better times, the general absence of westerners...
