# Balkhash

Balkhash is a small city located on a lake of the same name and in the Central Highlands of Kazakhstan.

## Understand

The city of Balkash is small by most standards with a population of just under 70,000. The city principally exists to support the activity of local copper mines and a large copper smelting plant just outside of town. Other industries in the town include fishing and a modest tourism industry that is primarily focused on the lake. This makes Balkhash a pleasant enough city with many cafes and some minor attractions for both residents and travelers.

## Get around

* City Bus : The bus service in town costs 30 tenge per ride regardless of distance but only really takes you up and down Lenin St. When riding the bus you pay an attendant who will come around to collect your fare.
* Taxi : Taxis in Balkhash are generally marked and charge a fare of 200 tenge if flagged on the road or 150 tenge if called. Drivers are unlikely to speak English so be prepared to practice your Russian.

## Do

* Go to the beach : The beach isn't impeccably clean but is a pleasant enough place to sit and read a book, join the locals for a swim, or sit in a beachside cafe. The best beaches are found outside of town though.
# Ballestas Islands

The Ballestas Islands are located roughly 15 km off the coast of southern Peru. These islands are home to various fauna like the guanay guano bird, the blue-footed booby, the tendril, the Humboldt penguin and two varieties of marine mammals (fur seals and sea lions). They can be reached by the small sea side town of Paracas. Paracas is also the name of a nature reserve further south on the coast.

## Get in

The Ballestas Islands are located off the coast close to Paracas. The best way to get there is to take a speed boat tour of the islands from Paracas.

## Get around

Barring scientific research, the only access is by boat tours, which do not land.

## See

Depending on the season, the islands are teeming with seals, terns, penguins, and other seabirds. Tours will take you quite close, perhaps too close.

## Do

Las Islas Ballestas are protected, which means you can't swim with the animals or walk on the islands by yourself, but you can get very close to them on a boat tour. Tours depart from the port of Paracas at about 08:30 but with a great deal of variability. Most shops in Paracas sell tickets, but it's best to arrive early for the boats; Paracas businesses tend to tell you that they will sell you services and then vanish on you (but don't take your money; they're not scammers) and you have to go through lines to buy tickets, pay taxes, and pay an additional fee before joining the line to get on a boat. Tours operate in English and Spanish, but the latter have more availability.
# Bismarck Archipelago

The Bismarck Archipelago is in Papua New Guinea, around the Bismarck Sea northeast of that country's main island.
It consists of three main islands and many smaller ones:
* New Britain
* New Ireland
* Manus
The capitals are Rabaul, Kavieng and Lorengau, respectively. Rabaul has a population of about 20,000; the others are smaller.
# Bislama phrasebook

Bislama is a pidgin language used in Vanuatu and is now a creole in urban areas. It essentially combines a typically Melanesian grammar with a mostly English vocabulary. It is the only language that can be understood and spoken by the whole population of Vanuatu, generally as a second language.
It is a mixture of phonetic English woven in a loose French sentence structure spoken with ‘local sound' producing some comical outcomes e.g., ladies brassieres or bathing top is called "Basket blong titi"; no offense intended. An excellent Bislama dictionary is available from good book shops: 'A New Bislama Dictionary,' by the late Terry Crowley.

# Bambari

Bambari Is the third largest city in the Central African Republic, lying on the Ouaka River. It is an important market town and is also home to an airport. In 2012, it had a population of 41,000 people.

## Understand

Bambari is notable for the large deposits of iron ore that have been discovered nearby. However, the lack of sophisticated transport infrastructure in the area means that the ore is yet to be mined at all.

### Climate

March is usually the hottest month with an average temperature of 27.3°C and July the coolest month with an average temperature of 24.1°C. The rainy season lasts 7 months around the summer solstice from April to October.

## Get in

# Ban Kai

Ban Kai is on the southwest coast of Ko Pha Ngan. It is ten minutes from the Full Moon Party at Haad Rin and five minutes from the Half Moon Party at Ban Tai.

## Sleep

Anywhere up to a week before a Half Moon or Full Moon Party, the hotels in Haad Rin and the immediate surrounding areas get booked as the population around the beach swells, with the more comfortable places being taken first. If you're planning to visit about this time, look into staying outside of Haad Rin, and taxi in and out. Rooms on the other side of the island are not only cheaper but also much quieter.
* Morning Star Resort, 17/7 Moo 4 Baantai (Ban Kai Beach), ☏ +66 77 377 757. Check-in: 14:00, check-out: 12:00. Facing the coast of Ko Samui and in the centre of the party action. Comfortable modern bungalows in a beach front idyllic setting, the resort offers guests an entertaining destination. 1,150-3,750 baht. (updated Jun 2022)

## Stay safe

Be very careful where you sleep and store your belongings if you're going for the Full Moon Party, as every month at this time many people have their bungalows broken into and valuables stolen. There are safety deposit boxes available at many resorts and in the town itself, but there are also reports of theft from some of these. Try find somewhere where you can at least use your own padlock, or stay at one of the higher end resorts if you can afford it. Alternatively, consider not staying at Ko Pha Ngan - you can get a boat over to the party from Ko Samui. If you do have stuff stolen, expect a long line queuing to report thefts at the police station the next day, and to have to pay for a report if you need one for your insurance. It might be a great night out, but it's not so great in the morning when you find yourself with no money and no passport.

It claims to be the only full-service independent bookstore between Rochester and Buffalo, and bibliophiles will not be disappointed. The place is packed to the gills with books and educational toys. They host numerous events to bring people in, but the selection and atmosphere are what keep people coming back. (updated Jun 2019)
