The Jakarta Post - The Journal of Indonesia Today Gorontalo province is a place where corn is king -- like the siesta, it's a legacy of 17th century Spanish travelers, and is one of the few crops able to endure the arid climate that marks much of the province, except the relatively fertile Marisa regency. Gorontalo gets few travelers (the tales of double takes and shouted hellos at every turn for Western visitors are true), with most using it as a stopover before heading to the secluded beaches of the nearby Togian islands. Still striving to improve the welfare of its population, the Gorontalo government lists improvement of human resources, agriculture and development of a maritime economy as three "superior" programs in its mission and vision statement, although "culture" is included among its 10 general objectives. www.thejakartapost.com /yesterdaydetail.asp?fileid=20040905.L01   (1000 words)
