Indonesia is a country of islands that have a diverse culture. Here there are lots of beautiful scenery and friendly people. Mountain, beach, forest and sea floor that many tourists visit. How do you impress on Indonesia?

I am sad to say this. About the friendly people, yes may be we can still find such people in remote area. But how about big cities, like Jakarta. When I visited the city center, I saw so many non-welcoming eyes. It came from the seller, bus driver, etc. Perhaps the stressful condition in the city made them to behave that way. I will be happier to walk along the street in Yogyakarta with so many welcoming eyes..

Based on my experience, busy people make them avoid others. So that is why in a big and busy city the honest smile is rare. Compare to some cities that I visited (Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, and London), Indonesia is not that bad. I can feel warm people in Jakarta more than other country that I mentioned before. By the why, we are Indonesian, Have you smile to others today?

Hi Masata, I agree with you. In the village more friendly than in the city. But in the international scale, the Indonesian people are friendly.

Although rich in natural resources and human, Indonesia still faces a major problem in the field of poverty reduction is largely caused by the reign of corruption in the government.

Why must await presidential election? What after that you will be more money for tourism? You must set aside money for recreation. Because recreation will make your life balanced. Happy touring... Happy traveling...

i think what maumbi means is, after the election, the new president will able to make some improvement in indonesian economic condition, so the tourism industry will also get benefit. thats mean, more tourist will visit our country.
