(Even Wayne Rooney once admitted that if MU had come to Indonesia,he would have tried to play badminton against Taufik Hidayat)
4. Indonesia is the largest country in South East Asia and one of the founding father of ASEAN! YAY!
5. Indonesia has tropical climate! Though we do not have any snow here,but at least we do not need to change our monthly outfit every 4 months for 4 different seasons. (That'll be just too demanding though I know it would look more fashionable for you wearing long coat and boots! OH WELL!)
6. Indonesia has the biggest lizard in the world: KOMODO!
7. Indonesia is the 4th finest coffee producer in the world! Even Indonesia was once mentioned in Gossip Girls season 2, but I forget which episodes -_-'
8. Indonesia is the 4th biggest supplier of Polio Serum to the world! FYI, the polio serum is produced by long-tailed monkeys which many live in Indonesia!
9. Indonesia has SO MANY LOCAL BANDS! Haha,I have to admit I mostly fancy Gigi,Peterpan and Ada Band among the bands here,but let's just give appreciation for those other new famous bands here!
10. Indonesia has local distro (i.e. distribution outlet) where you could find up-to-date fashion items with reasonable prices, especially in Bandung.
"The Bandung creative community succeeds to appropriate the impacts from globalization without Westernization ... The creative communities in Bandung are hubs that form a node in a wider - global - network from Singapore to Sydney, from Manchester to Amsterdam, from Beijing to Helsinki" Roy Voragen (one of my fave lecturers!) , week 8 "Global City in Indonesia" from the lesson "Globalism, Modernity,and the Nation States".
11. Indonesia has so-called-Indonesian FOOD that you will definitely miss when you were away! My faves: Pecel, batagor,bakso,bala-bala, kue putu, bajigur,pempek, KERUPUK ACI, & MARTABAK!
Dan saya bisa tambahkan bahwa Indonesia saat ini semakin mengarah pada pemerintahan yang lebih baik, jika dibandingkan dengan kondisi terdahulu. Indonesia saat ini menjamin kebabasan berekspresi, dan masyarakatnya bahkan tidak bisa dicegah menggambar di dinding umum dijalanan, dimana hal ini tidak diijinkan di beberapa negara, seperti halnya di Singapura.
