Thanks! I'll check out what I can find about Lombok. Do you remember details about where you stayed? Some bungalow thingy? Super-fast connections are not a req

  I stayed at a hotel, but I can't remember its name. I was there with my girlfriend and we paid around $10 per night including a light breakfast. There are also some really nice resorts there, but I don't know how much they cost. The food is amazing and nasi goreng (fried rice with some meat and vegetables) is often not more than $0.40–$0.50. Another thing: It's really easy to pick up some Indonesian phrases since the language is quite simple to pronounce and has a really simple grammar. The language does not have the concept of tones that other south-east Asian languages (Thai/Vietnamese/Chinese...) have, so even if the pronunciation is a bit off, people will understand you. It was really nice being able to use some polite phrases in Indonesian after just a few days – even if using English was no problem. :-)
