The best three are Yogyakarta, Denpasar (Bali) and Bandung (West Java).

Why Yogyakarta? It has a nice atmosphere with kind, polite people. It’s near Borobudur temple and Prambanan temple, historical sites: Palace, Imogiri. There are also handicrafts center in Malioboro, Kotagede (burnt silver), traditional cake: Bakpia pathok, creative t-shirt, southern beach: Samas. Long list I guess.

Why not Bali? Perhaps it lies a bit far away from those tourists hometowns. Perhaps they have visited Bali etc.

What about Bandung? Creative culinary. They founded a lot of new foods for visitors that wish to try different foods. Handicrafts are also available. Bandung also has relatively cooler climate compared to usual cities in Indonesia. It is close to Tangkuban Perahu mount, a dead volcano that is also a popular tourist destination.

Our constitution states “to participate for peace in the world”.

Indonesia is well-known as “solidarity maker” in international relationship. Even though it’s not a popular knowledge among, especially, western nations.

translation:

“the world’s stability and peace is in Indonesia’s hand.

Super proud, Indonesia becomes the world’s hope as the peace keeping”

is it exaggerated ? You tell me.

But generally Indonesians are proud more for good conducts better than material achievements.

Maybe the news said so till some years ago and it has to do with political tension and unrest among people. In daily life, generally not really so.

“Neighbor’s grass is greener” kinda applies everywhere. People see outside world as the ‘better’ one.

I’m guessing this boy ~ in home country ~ never/hardly got compliment over his physical appearance, but many foreign beautiful girls called him ‘cute’. Even when he hates his teeth, those girls like it.

Yes, the standard of beauty is different between both cultures. In Indonesia, the beauty means fair skin, sharp nose, angelical look.

Some celebrities have mixture blood with westerners and they are called as “Indo”. This kind of celebrity or artists have easier access to expose and popularity compared to the local ones.

As the flag colors 🇮🇩 👈 the red and the white adore to each other. Is that the case?

They live in Lebak Regency, Banten province, west part of Java island.

It’s a native tribe that still preserves their ancient culture. Their location has become a tourist destination where traditional handicraft, food, honey, clothes etc. are sold.

They claim to be Adam’s followers belonging to Sunda Wiwitan faith. They are also known with beautiful girls living in humble, traditional way.
