Bahasa Indonesia Entries about Biak:
- First, there was Andreas Harsono who visiting us, June 2006. Under his post “Biak, Militer dan Melanesia”
Malamnya aku pergi makan ikan baronang bakar di sebuah restoran Bugis. Enak sekali. Lalu jalan kaki keliling blok pusat kota. Aku punya kesan yang menyenangkan di Biak. Pusat kota ini, antara lain Jalan Selat Makassar, tata letaknya berkotak-kotak. Kesannya rapi. Aku juga punya kesan kota ini lebih “Melanesia” daripada Jayapura, Timika maupun Merauke.

Pesona Pulau Biak sangat indah, terutama pantai-pantainya yang masih bersih dan jernih seperi Pantai Barito, Parai, dan Bosnik serta memiliki terumbu karang yang indah di Kepulauan Padaido. Selain itu terdapat peninggalan-peninggalan dari sisa-sisa Perang Dunia II masih terasa, seperti Goa Jepang dan Monumen PD II di Parai.

English Post about Biak:
- Consciousbody(nickname from Dan’s World Travels Journal) post his Complete Travelogue. His entries about Biak is quite reflecting the tourism conditions in Biak nowadays.
In Biak, Papua I had a fun time S.C.U.B.A. diving for a couple of days. A quick note here; many times a local somewhere will ask me how my “holiday” is going. I always think to myself what an incredible journey I’m on and how blessed I am to be on it. But it really doesn’t feel like a holiday, I gotta work for this. And all along I have confirmed the very quote that I coined myself, that being …” The only thing that’s real is what happens, everything else is just a thought”. And for sure I am a traveler and this is very, very different from being a tourist.
- Carolerica post her “Irian Jaya Tips” in Virtual Tourist
