   Om WW, is it possible to send it to Singapore? :)
   Yeah, a lot of things from Indonesia that I really miss here in a foreign land. In Indonesia I was always looking to go to another countries since I read a lot of good things about them, but during my stay here in Singapore, I always miss our great food(Singaporeans always brag about their food, but compared to ours, theirs aren't that great ^_^), Jakarta's lively aura, the relaxing atmosphere in Labuan beach, Bandung's great cafes, and so many other things in my beautiful country :)

   I'm sorry I was unable to make it to the event. I really would have like to meet all of you! It would have been nice to be involved in an evening of "dangerous beauty".
   
   Hopefully there'll be more opportunities.

    For those of you doubting a visit to Indonesia, as travel agent for about 20 years and after visiting 8 countries in South East Asia here is my 10 points list why you should visit Indonesia, and not only spend all your time in better promoted Thailand or Malaysia (or even not only Bali for that matter). And I am not saying it because I am originally from Indonesia myself, it is seen from a general perspective.
    1. Indonesia is very diverse. Hundreds of ethnic different cultures must offer something to anyone interested in asian culture and society.
    2. Sun and beach? Indonesia has some of the best beaches in the world. Maybe not full with 5 star hotels everywhere but lovely, and unspoilt beaches with plenty of sunshine.
    3. Food: Indonesia has the most varied food I know in all Asia, from spicy to sweet, from hot to salty. The food is more varied than in say Cambodia, Malaysia or Vietnam, but it needs time to learn it.
    4. Shopping: Indonesia has plenty of shopping facilities, not just handicraft shops, almost all cities have huge malls and big markets where you can buy fashion, Cds, DVDs for much cheaper prices than in Singapore or Malaysia. Arabian people already know this, they flock to Jakarta to go shopping, even if at home (Dubai etc.) they already have their own malls.
    5. People: Indonesians are among the most welcoming people in the world, they have genuine interest for visitors, although many do not speak english that well as a Singaporean. But their smile and hospitality is genuine.
    6. Nature: The best nature of this region is in Indonesia: volcanoes, jungles, ricefields, canyons etc. Sure the other countries have their nature, but none as diverse and rich as Indonesia. Seeing nature here is not super organized, so what you see feels like real nature.
    7. Cultural sights: Indonesia does not produce beautiful tourist brochures (like Thailand for example) with all its sights, but the sheer amount of places to be discovered is enormous. The temple of Borobudur in Java, the old Dutch section of Jakarta, the traditional Minangkabau houses of West and North Sumatra, palaces and temples in Bali and Java, are just some examples.
    8. Truly Asia: Although already modern, Indonesia is still very Asian compared to many of its neighbours. The fact that it is not that sterile clean as Singapore or over organized as Brunei makes it charming, exotic and more Asian than many other countries in the region.
    9. Costs: Indonesia is for most western visitors not expensive. Maybe travelling here is not always comfortable, but you really get a lot for what you pay for. There are even enough luxurious places for those seeking a more comfortable journey, such as top resorts and spas in Bali and Lombok.
    10. Festivals: Due to the many cultures, you will find a festival almost any time. Join it and have fun.
    PS Kids: Indonesians welcome families with kids, as most Indonesians like children, and while your kids will not find a Disneyland or American style themeparks here, there is plenty to keep them amused.
