Indonesia Travel Doc Part 01

The Republic of Indonesia, is a country in Southeast Asia. Comprising 17,508 islands, it is the world's largest archipelagic state. With a population of 222 million people in 2006, it is the world's fourth most populous country and the most populous Muslim-majority nation; however, no reference is made to Islam in the Indonesian constitution. Indonesia is a republic, with an elected legislature and president. The nation's capital city is Jakarta. The country shares land borders with Papua New Guinea, East Timor and Malaysia. Other neighboring countries include Singapore, the Philippines, Australia, and the Indian territory of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
The Indonesian archipelago has been an important trade region since at least the seventh century, when the Srivijaya Kingdom traded with China and India. Local rulers gradually adopted Indian cultural, religious and political models from the early centuries CE, and Hindu and Buddhist kingdoms flourished. Indonesian history has been influenced by foreign powers drawn to its natural resources. Muslim traders brought Islam, and European powers fought one another to monopolize trade in the Spice Islands of Maluku during the Age of Discovery. Following three and a half centuries of Dutch colonialism, Indonesia secured its independence after World War II. Indonesia's history has since been turbulent, with challenges posed by natural disasters, corruption, separatism, a democratization process, and periods of rapid economic change.
Across its many islands, Indonesia consists of distinct ethnic, linguistic, and religious groups. The Javanese are the largest and most politically dominant ethnic group. As a unitary state and a nation, Indonesia has developed a shared identity defined by a national language, ethnic diversity, religious pluralism within a majority Muslim population, and a history of colonialism and rebellion against it. Indonesia's national motto, "Bhinneka tunggal ika" ("Unity in Diversity" literally, "many, yet one"), articulates the diversity that shapes the country. However, sectarian tensions and separatism have led to violent confrontations that have undermined political and economic stability. Despite its large population and densely populated regions, Indonesia has vast areas of wilderness that support the world's second highest level of biodiversity. The country is richly endowed with natural resources, yet poverty is a defining feature of contemporary Indonesia.

when foreigner make film about Jakarta, the seek everything different with what they found in their country. that's why poverty and slum area always be their concern.

I'm Indonesian, and I'll say that Indonesia is beautiful, except Jakarta...

[vikoid]

When did u make this film? everything looks very old fashion. The same as tv stations here in Europe they showed nothing but slum area in jakarta. They nvr showed the modern part of Jakarta with high buildings around.

@brimobkorps Having lived in chicago most of my life and having visited barcelona and berlin, I can say that those cities are not at all "shitholes". There are bad places in all cities, but all in all, these cities are much better that the majority of other cities.

[audisport]

@brimobkorps At least they have better infrastructure and a sewage system that works. Barcelona is probably beautiful. NY i can agree, i hate that shithole, but at least it has alot of landmarks and quality places. And a sewage that works and no makeshift slums. Never went to chicago, but the US has better infrastructure in general and urban planning is relative there. Never went to bangkok but went to other thai cities, which is amazingly cleaner and better infrastructure than Jakarta(worst)

[brimobkorps]

@audisport jakarta is a shithole, so are new york, chicago, rome, barcelona, berlin, birmingham, bangkok... just to name a few

:)

[audisport]

@brimobkorps jakarta is a shithole. But then again, alot of other cities in indonesia are shitholes too. Apart from Bali resorts.
