Whatever that means, I'm in.


It means something like Secure Data, Balikpapan City of Faith, and the smaller print appears to be a fragment of a warning about health issues: '... to cause cancer, heart attacks, impotence ...'.   Hm.. sounds very much like the legal disclaimer for a western television ad for any of several widely used pharmaceuticals.

The city of Balikpapan has been an oil town since 1897 and is known for timber, mining and petroleum exports.  The region's soil composition is alluvial and sandy, making it highly susceptible to erosion.  The climate is tropical rainforest, with temperatures of around 29C, or 85F year round, and monthly average rainfall of about 250 millimeters, or just under 9 inches.
