WEST KALIMANTAN
Pontianak
0561 / POP 550,000
Standing astride the equator, Pontianak is a gateway to all points of the compass: Putuss-
ibau (east), Singkawang (north), Sukadana (south) and Natuna (west). Commerce keeps
things buzzing, but the city is otherwise a grey jumble, brightened only by some inexpens-
ive luxury hotels and lukewarm sights.
