Introduction
Manado is the main administrative centre for Northern Sulawesi and the heart of the Minahasa (ie. meaning 'united, becomes one', a name given to the collective of independent states originally in the area) people. The town looks out over the beautiful Manado Bay across to Palu Bunaken (ie. a collection of tropical islands) where superb diving and snorkelling can be found, the main reason for western tourism. The port itself has traditionally been a centre for traders throughout the ages and the region.
