I Love Indonesia
I'm born and raised in Indonesia, when i teen i don't really like my
country because if i see in film another countries have soo many beautiful
places, cultures, stories, more freedom,etc. I always think if i grow old i will
go to japan, United States, Egypt and England (that my favorite country), stay
there and find a family. But when i college i started research about Indonesian
culture and stories, for the first that just study but not too long i think
that excited, i do more research and heard
my teacher explanation about indonesian culture, how in any lyric, tools,
house, fabric, ritual, etc always have meaning, what people do is meaningful.
From there i grew love my Indonesia.
like you all know Indonesian people not always good people, bad government, etc, but in the started Indonesia have good religion, good people, good place,etc. What must I do now is to tell everyone what Indonesian people is doing and don't forget how people Indonesian does.

Indonesia
is the 4th most populous country in the world and is made up of over 17,000
islands; however, often when people think of Indonesia, all that comes to mind
is Bali. Although Bali is awesome in its own right, Indonesia
as a whole is a great place to visit and has much to offer. Here are many reasons why you
should visit Indonesia.
1. The Komodos Dragon
Indonesia is home to Komodo
National Park, named after its celebrity residents, the Komodo Dragon. Currently the largest living lizard in the world
and the closest thing we have to dinosaurs, these fierce dragons are quite the
tourist attraction for the thrill seeker. Indonesia is the only place in the
world where they can be found living in the wild on the four islands that make
up Komodo National Park. Having been known to eat a human or two, if you visit
make sure you do so with a few park rangers as protection to witness this
deadly creature in the flesh.
2. Snorkel
Indonesia is home to
20% of the world’s coral reefs and some of the best scuba diving and snorkelling you can find. There are many opportunities available for beginner
and experienced divers, with lots of gear rental shops and liveaboard trips and
more being offered. Indonesia also has a lot of shipwrecks off its shores,
which make for interesting dives. It’s almost a shame to visit Indonesia and not get your feet wet.
3. Food
You can literally eat
for days in Indonesia and always be trying something new. Some popular
Indonesian foods are satay (like lamb or chicken skewers), nasi goreng (a fried
rice plate with other foods added to it like fried eggs, vegetables, and
chicken), gudeg (a
dish made from boiled young jackfruit, often served with rice, sambal sauce and
chicken) and my favorite, sambal sauce – a spicy sauce that can be added rice
and many other dishes. Indonesia is also one of the largest coffee producers in
the world – the phrase “a cup of Java” actually comes from Indonesia’s island
of the same name, where the coffee comes from. They are also famous for Kopi
Luwak, which is coffee made from the poop of the Luwak – aka civet cat – that
has eaten coffee beans and pooped them out. Sounds gross but it is actually
rare and quite expensive coffee.
4. Borobudur
Dating back to the 9th
century, Borobudur is the largest Buddhist temple in the world and is
found in Java, Indonesia. Made up of 2,000+ relief panels and over 500 Buddha
statues, this temple is an amazing monument to see. Often crowded in the day,
one of the best times to explore the temple is early in the morning when you
can watch the sunrise while standing at the very top.
5. Mount
Bromo
Indonesia is located in what is called “the Pacific rim of fire” which is one of the most active volcanic areas in the world. The country alone has 150 volcanoes. It also boasts some of the most gorgeous sunsets in the world with one of the best being seen from Mount Penanjakan overlooking the famous Mt Bromo Volcano. Although to get to the top, you must climb up steep streets an steps covered in tourists and horses really early in the morning in pitch-black darkness, it isdefinitely worth the effort and the climb.
6. Kuta
Beach (Bali)
With over 17,000
islands it’s a sure bet that Indonesia has some gorgeous beaches to lay on. Whether you want to enjoy some water sports like learning to surf, go
parasailing, ride a banana boat or just lay out and get a nice tan, Indonesia
is definitely a place where all of this can happen. You can hang out on the
popular Kuta beach in Bali, or the secluded pink beach as part of the Komodo
islands, just to name a few of the thousands of options.
7. Raja
Ampat (Papua)
Raja Ampat casts a spell on all who visit –
scientists, photographers, novice divers and crusty sea- salts alike. This group
of majestic islands, located in the northwestern tip of Indonesia’s Papuan “Bird’s Head Seascape,” lies in the heart of the coral triangle, the most
bio-diverse marine region on earth.
8. Humble People
Indonesians
are very friendly and welcoming people. In the majority of the places you
travel to throughout the country, you will be met with some of the biggest
smiles you have ever seen. They are also very proud of their history, culture,
wildlife, food and more, and are passionate about sharing it with others.
