Some Interesting Sights in The City of Jayapura

1. Viewing and RI-PNG border crossing 
The journey from the city of Jayapura through transmigration settlements that have been crowded and fertile, berkelak winding down the hills, and through the woods are still dense. 
The distance is 1.5 hours, once smooth road. If you want to visit the village of Putung in PNG, then you must prepare passports and visas (which can be handled at the Immigration Office in Jayapura PNG). Unfortunately I did not prepare both cases, informed thinking can cross the border have never, and after knowing only 1.5 hours and the situation then we think it is safe to cross the border. Beautiful road, smooth, and quiet. Before entering our borders first report on RI troops guarding the frontier, even posing with them. Then we also invite those chat PNG, or crossing the border into Indonesian territory, to transact. Inconceivable that the border, dipuncak mountain and sea views below, many transactions occur between people of Papua and PNG. We also report to Mr. Jeffrey Owen, Customs Border Operation for the PNG and allowed only to the extent of visiting the PNG market which consists of 10 blue tents. From here we can see Putung village by the sea, and the nearest town (Vanimo) 2 days travel away from the border. Even if a visa, in fact we were only able to visit the slum Village Wutung only.PNG people use English with a dialect of Fiji, and its currency Kina (1 Kina = Rp.3000, -)
