Seeking off-line dialog, in English, with any recent (2006
or later) visitors to Pontianak, Indonesia. I'm considering
a trip there next year, and would like some first-hand
feedback about the place.

Thanks.

A couple of years ago while I was in Malaysian Borneo I spoke with a
lady who just had come from there. She said that the Indonesian part of
Borneo is quite a mess. Difficult to travel around, poor infrastructure
and Pontianak being an ugly and dirty place.

Perhaps calling the shanty town as "Venice of Indonesia" is a bit of
exaggeration?
