Nongkrong, or hanging out with friends just for chating is kinda contradictory to “Time is Money”. 🤭

We learn from foreiners many things: discipline, technology, treatment to nature/animals, other’s intellectual rights, human rights, care of public facilities etc.

Schools don’t teach such things.

Really? You decide.

Bahasa Indonesia (Melayu based) used to unite local langages in Indonesia back to last century. Now it upgrades into the world stage.

No formal committee to realize it systematically. Generally, only expats, peace keeping troops, Youtubers and other common people that do what they do naturally, and last but not least: Foreign Influencers in social media.

Entering the bahasa Indonesia, you can change the mood into happy atmosphere, comedy, jokes, relax, friendship. A challenge for you.

In former times, people from children to religious scholars join too.

Till this year, Gaza have been destroyed by zionists, and Indonesian social workers have returned home due to war, no celebration for Indonesia’s Independence Day for 2025.

Israelis…. please posses a heart.

Just go watching the locals doing their competition, and you’ll be asked to join with them.

A study conducted by Harvard University, Baylor University, and polling firm Gallup has ranked Indonesia first among countries with the most flourishing populations.

Citing a report by the New York Post on Monday (5/5), the study surveyed over 200,000 respondents across 22 countries, collectively representing 64% of the global population.

Unlike conventional annual happiness reports, the study used the concept of “flourishing,” which encompasses a holistic sense of wellbeing.

In this context, wellbeing includes not only physical and mental health, but also life meaning and purpose, character and virtue, strong social connections, and material and economic stability.

“Indonesia does not stand out economically, but it has strengths in social relationships and character values that support the community,” said one of the researchers, as quoted by the New York Post.

Although it acknowledged that Indonesia is not a wealthy country, the study highlighted its excellence in the quality of social relationships, sense of togetherness, and community engagement.

These factors placed Indonesia at the top of the list, far ahead of the United States, which ranked 12th, and Japan, which came in last.

Other countries ranking highly in the study include Israel, the Philippines, Mexico, and Poland.

The study also noted Japan’s position—despite having the world’s highest life expectancy, it ranked last due to low levels of social connection among its population.

According to the research, high-income countries tend to lack meaningful social relationships and community involvement compared with developing nations.

“We are not saying that wealth or longevity don’t matter. But these findings suggest there may be a price paid in the process of development,” said Brendan Case, one of the study’s authors.

The researchers called on the world to reconsider the direction of global development—seeking a balance between economic growth and human values such as life purpose, interpersonal relationships, and virtue.
