To be honest, we personally as admins, always get goosebumps when listening to this song because we imagine how beautiful our country, Indonesia is. A beautiful country without equality in the world, a fertile and prosperous country, almost no other country can compare. Like the words of Abah Lala in her song, Ojo Dibandingke, maybe that's the right term to describe our beloved country.
Personally, we have explored several countries that are said to be enchantingly beautiful. Thailand, which people say has beaches like heaven, in fact is nothing compared to the beaches in Bali, in fact very far compared to the Mandalika beach in Lombok, as well as other beaches throughout Indonesia. Don't compare the beaches and sea in Thailand with the beauty of Raja Ampat in Papua, even with Bunaken, the comparison is very far away. Malaysia and Singapore? Even though people say they are technologically advanced, in fact, technology in our country is like the words in motorcycle advertisements, Getting Ahead.
What about Japan or Hong Kong? It must be admitted that in terms of technological advances, Japan is still ahead of us but speaking of the beauty of the country, we can be sure that Indonesia is far more beautiful. It is true that Japan has Mount Fuji tours which will be covered in snow at certain times, but there are far more mountains in Indonesia that have more beauty and beauty than Mount Fuji, of course with their own characteristics. Hong Kong? In a country that is only the size of Greater Jakarta, to be honest, it is quite dirty in its residential areas, even though the transportation facilities in Hong Kong are quite helpful for moving places. They rely on Victoria Peak as one of Hong Kong's main tourist destinations, but when viewed in Indonesia, currently there are many mountain tourist attractions that offer a variety of natural beauty that can be enjoyed.
Many people say that the country of Turkey / Turkiye is a beautiful country in Europe, but it cannot be compared with the natural beauty of Indonesia. Although it must be admitted that Turkey has a historical heritage from the Medieval European period which is marked by many beautiful palace/castle buildings and places of worship, apart from that, I hope that Indonesia still has more places of worship that can be enjoyed.
The things mentioned above, only talking about natural beauty and tourist attractions in the countries mentioned above, have not talked about Indonesian food or specialties which really cannot be compared to food or cuisine from other countries. Call it one type of food, namely Soto, can anyone say how many types of soup are there in Indonesia? You don't need to go far, in the provinces of Central Java and Yogyakarta alone, you can find Sauto in Tegal, Tauto in Pekalongan, Soto Semarang, Soto Kudus, Soto Kwali in Solo, Soto Jogja, Sroto in the Banyumas area and maybe there are other forms. the naming of Soto in Central Java and Yogyakarta. If mentioned from Sabang to Merauke, maybe there are thousands of types of soup.
How about chili sauce? Maybe we can only name a few types of chili sauce in Indonesia, such as onion chili sauce, jlantah chili sauce (used frying oil), matah chili sauce, krecek chili sauce made from fried cow skin, dabu-dabu chili sauce, and many other types of chili sauce. in Indonesia.
For smokers, Indonesia is a tobacco paradise, because in Indonesia there are many types of tobacco, not to mention The sale of cigarettes can almost be said to be very free, as well as places to smoke, almost anywhere where smoking is allowed. For those who don't smoke? In Indonesia, there are many stalls and food stalls that are open 24 hours with various types of food or drinks being sold and the prices are very cheap compared to when we buy food abroad.
Outside Indonesia, maybe only bars and pubs that are open 24 hours, which certainly sell food and drinks at high prices. What about Minimarkets? It is very rare to find shops or minimarkets that are open 24 hours, as well as food stalls. It will be very difficult to find food stalls that are open 24 hours and even if some are open until midnight, the only food sold is snacks and soft drinks.
There are many other reasons that can make us miss our beloved country. Whatever its shortcomings, Indonesia is still our country which we must love and defend with our body and soul. Right or Wrong, it's my country. Be a scout in our beloved country.
