If you wish to sample yet another culture, we suggest you visit the island of Madura situated in the area of East Java. This island, measuring around 160km long, is well renowned for its bull races, where a young jockey is pulled on a wooden sled by a pair of bulls along a 100m course. You could also visit the remains of the ancient Majapahit Empire which has large areas of recent archaeological digs and some amazing temple sites. This Empire was influenced by Hinduism, Islam and Buddhism and thrived between the 14th and 16th centuries.

When you are teaching as part of the course the dress code is smart and conservative. Your shoulders must be covered, and any skirt or trousers must cover your knees when you are sitting down. For women, be careful that your shirts are not too low cut or show your stomach as you may need to lean over to help a student sitting at a desk. Jeans and shorts are not acceptable. Men should wear a collared shirt, though short sleeves are fine. Shoes or sandals should be smart.
