May I know whether there is a minimum amount of fund possessed by an Indonesian traveler to be granted a tourist/short term general visitor visa? I tried to search it on http://www.vfs-uk-id.com, but didn't find it... please share if you know about this. Many thanks in advance! :) Found this post while searching info on UK tourist visa.

Mungkin keseringan mendengar mars Rule Britannica, aku langsung menjawab dengan SMS satu kata: Deal. Lalu Mas Iman merinci syarat dan ketentuan. Air Asia akan menyediakan tiket penerbangan, dari Jakarta-Kualalumpur, dan Kualalumpur-London, dan arah balik. Tapi hanya itu yang akan disediakan. Pajak, akomodasi, visa, dll, harus ditanggung sendiri. Dan seterusnya. Bagian ini sudah aku ceritakan di blog satunya.

Tiket ini ditawarkan oleh Imam Brotoseno, seorang blogger kepada partner saya, Koen, yang juga suami saya. Partner mengiyakan tawaran tersebut. Dia boleh mengajak teman lainnya dengan syarat teman perjalanannya haruslah seorang blogger juga, yang telah lama nge-blog. Partner  kemudian mengajak saya. Syarat lainnya kami berdua harus menuliskan laporan perjalanan kami di blog. Maka mulailah kami merancang perjalanan ke UK. Untuk detailnya bisa dibaca di sini.

It looks more like a blog entry instead of a comment. And I agree with you. I live in the UK for 1 year; but when leaving, I still thought: but I just started! Thinking of that, we haven't even begun exploring Indonesia. I have seen Buckingham etc. But I was unlucky not to visit The British Museum. My previous partners were not educated enough ;) to be interested to the greatest museum on earth. I will visit it now. Have you visited the US? Tell me, tell me, tell me. Blog it! @Vishnu:

This link has info on Standstead and getting there and back http://bit.ly/aFtSnx Don't even think of taxis, expensive! Other option, sleep in the airport and leave at dawn... you may want to travel light (i.e. no large suitcases) You can also look for prepaid phone cards in vending machines... they had them in Heathrow, not sure Standstead Suggest do London first, but you can't do that in a day. British Museum, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham, Tower of London. I did a crash tour of the British Museum but when I saw the scale of it all, I took pictures of EVERYTHING as I zoomed passed, and am STILL reviewing them... It would take me 3 days to carefully go through it all.... and I completely missed the National Portrait Gallery! Buy your train tickets online NOW. Closer you are to departure day, the higher it gets (believe me... personal experience!) http://bit.ly/cFLrz9 There are rumors of strike action so keep that in mind and in your plans. Otherwise, the MEGABUS may be in the cards. Where are you staying? Check out University Dormitories.... the London School of Economics rents out rooms during the vacation periods as do other schools.... Damn, all this talk makes me want to go back... missed so many museums on my first go there.... not to mention all of Scotland! Twited this to you but will put it here for archive’s sakes…

A neat small town, I have to admit. And I visited Jane's house, although I haven't read any books she wrote. (2) Any advice how I can escape Stansted around midnight like that? @Vishnu:
