Krakatoa was West of Java, in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra.

Answer: Ubud
Ubud was once popular as a quiet retreat for rock musicians and film stars but has experienced a major influx of (for some reason mainly female) tourists since the release of the movie. Ubud also used to be a good place to find locally produced silver-, leather- and stone-crafts. You are now more likely to find tourist trinkets and brand outlets in the shops and markets. Sadly, in my humble opinion, the town even boasts a Starbucks although, fortunately, you can still purchase a cup of the superb, locally grown coffee in the excellent local cafés and restaurants.

Answer: Bandung
Tangkuban Perahu is Sundanese for Upturned Boat, and viewed from Bandung that's what it looks like. According to legend, Sangkuriang, a young prince was separated from his mother, Dayang Sumbi. Many years later they met and fell in love and got engaged, not knowing they were related. One day, Dayang Sumbi caught sight of a birthmark on Sangkuriang's leg and realised who he was. To get out of the marriage, she said she would only marry him if he dammed the local river and built a boat to sail across it all in one night. He had nearly succeeded when in desperation she asked the gods to send sunrise early. The gods granted her prayer and in a fit of pique, Sangkuriang broke the dam and knocked the boat upside down.

The island of New Guinea is covered with swamps, thick rainforest and tall mountains, and the interior wasn't explored until the 20th century. Some societies with Stone Age technology are still being discovered, and parts of the island still remain to be explored. This hasn't prevented massive exploitation of natural resources in much of the island. Near Timika, a large mountain with huge stores of copper has been razed to the ground over the past forty years. Large gold deposits are also being exploited.

Answer: Dutch
Bali's documented history is long and fascinating and I urge you to research it at your leisure. The Dutch first arrived in Bali around 1560 (Dutch East Indies) but didn't see the commercial value of the little island for another 250 years, concentrating their efforts on the rice crops of Java. Bali fell as part of the Dutch colonial expansion and remained until the Japanese wanted Bali as a launch pad into Java during WWII. After the war, Balinese militants using captured Japanese weapons defeated the remaining Dutch. (see info Q10)
