and ai like colect coin to so if u have please share to me buts if it not its oky take easy ...^^

and to have story like this...

from ina ...Before I will go into details, I want to underline: Vian was an amazing host. Already before I arrived, he was so anxious to inform me about Tomohon,the area around and Indonesien standards. In addition he gives me some advice how to get there and what i have to notice. Yeah, i really felt safe and welcome. And also during my stay (i was there for three nights) he took such an offer, showing me around and to help me planning my trip. Apart from that vian provided me an insight into the local live. By visiting his family, i also come in contact with locals and i didn't feel lonely anymore. For me it was such an amazing time: i had a nice quiet room, tasty food and i got to know so hearty people. I really want to thank you!!! So if you want to become acquainted with the tradition of the minahasa culture, you have to stay with vian. I can promise, you will enjoy it!

opinion of my frends from wells ^^.... “Vian is an excellent host, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. A person who taught us so much about Indonesian culture in just two short days and a wealth of knowledge if you want to hike or visit local attractions like the volcanoes and lakes. Tomohon is a great little town, very friendly people and many restaurants and a delicious food market. Staying with Vian is very much a homestay arrangement. The accomodation is a normal Indonesian family house, this means a shared squat toilet and no shower or sink (bucket) and a very basic bedroom. This is not a '5 star hotel' as Vian jokes! This is an authentic experience and Vian and his family are very hospitable and many of his relatives arrived with vegan food when we mentioned that we were not meat eaters. What the accomodation lacked in value, quality and comfort, it was made up for by delicious homecooked meals and pure kindness. This is not your average Air B&B experience and for that reason it's not for everyone. The family rise early and there can be load music and lots of laughter and shouting throughout the day. If you're looking for comfort and a chill, there are plenty of hotels in the area. If you are looking for a real rustic travel experience and lots of smiles, go for Vian's place.”...
