Most Amusing Section: I’ll swear sometimes inadvertantly
...white sands and mountain hikes are gloriously empty. So steep has the decline in tourism been that industry workers like Roy are back tending fields and renting rooms to refugees from East Timor.

The Muslim militias blamed for much of last year's troubles also suffered in the downturn. They profess a new determination to see that everyone gets along fine.
