While not much bigger than our North Island, Java has a staggering population of over 140 million (compared to our 3 ½ million) making it the most populated island in the world. Besides the chaos and urban excitements of the mega cities, there are still sleepy fishing ports, quaint villages surrounded by rice paddies, smouldering volcanoes and fascinating cultures. There’s even a tribe living in the forest that has no contact with the outside world, Javan one horned rhinoceros and possibly even Javan tigers.
