Indonesia, first come in your mind...

My country.. haha.. our country too.. =P when I looked back at Indonesia.. I just feel very sad. even we paid for everything, live, oil, shops.. But it's all disappeared.. the government corupt our money.. we have a lot of treasures.. gold, diamond, oil.. but we still became a poor country.. doesn't it make sense?? Indonesia could become a rich country.. with smart people.. but still.. how can they be a government? with only money brain!

Indonesia is seafood(food) . indonesia is satay(food). indonesia is bubur jenang grendul(rice cake). Indonesia is big head goverment and police. Indonesia is poor. Indonesia is beautiful country. Indonesia is stupid people. (including me) Indonesia is me.

I am from the Philippines, I have not been to Indonesia and from my country i do not hear news about your country except only if the news is like tragic calamities that concerns all. Anyways, to answer your question, what comes to my mind when the word Indonesia comes up is Bali! I saw the place in one of the famous Korean drama series which was shown here in the Philippines 2 years ago, i think. Bali beaches looks really awesome! They look like most of our beaches hehehehe.

The first things that come to my mind are rice, happy children playing in the street, singing from the mosques and long uncomfortable bus journeys. I went to the island of Sumatra. I really liked seeing the pretty little houses with such steep and unusual looking roofs. I took a trip over there from Singapore and then I went to Malaysia.

corruption and disorganized I'm a cynical indonesian currently living abroad btw :)

Crime!!!.. That's the 1st came in mine. And then demonstration and the great corruption. And, Tugu Khatulistiwa... :P

The first thing that comes in my mind when I hear of Indonesia it's the active volcanoes you have around there.

indonesian is rejected enter the USA because once they come in they refused to come home back to indonesia and being ilegal worker. Ruin the generations under.

hi, i'm indonesian too first thing came up ?? hmmm.. damn the traffic !! damn the economic crisis !! damn the corruptor !! damn the poverty !! heheheee.. sorry, too excited !

Hi! Lots of beautiful handwoven shawls and "malongs". I heard Indonesia has plenty of these things for very low prices. I would like to visit your place and see for myself. Thanks and have a nice day.

I am from the Philippines and Indonesia is actually a neighboring country. It is sad to note that Filipinos and Indonesians do not have much formal interaction in the social, cultural and even economic affairs (I know that there are backdoor economics and backdoor migration). Closer ties should be developed between these two countries. Many Filipinos does not know anything about Indonesia or about Indonesian affairs. Filipinos know so much about USA and Americans. We, Filipinos and Indonesians, should endeavour to work this out.
