"Kepulauan indah dan menarik." Indonesia by worldkiwi

Indonesia Travel Guide: 18,775 reviews and 48,026 photos

I have been to Indonesia five times. In 2010, I visited Lombok for the first time. My trip there in 2004, was just to Bali for a woefully short 8 day holiday. My trip in 1995 took me to Kalimanatan (Indonesian Borneo) for the first time. I have also travelled from one end of Java to the other twice, and of course I have been to Bali several times - one of my favourite places.

Indonesia is a huge country and to say I have seen Indonesia is only partially correct - because I have only partially visited this extensive archipelago!

Indonesia is a scenic country and the people are always very friendly to visitors. I hope to return again one day and see more of this fascinatingly rich and diverse country.

Selamat Datang!

Indonesia negara indah. Saya sudah mengunjungi Indonesia pada 1989, 1990, 1995, 2004, dan 2010. Di pulau Java, saya sudah mengunjungi Jakarta, Bandung, dan Yogyakarta. Kota yang tersuka Yogya. Candi Borobudur penting sekali dan pemandangan dari di atas candi bagus. Bali pulau yang terindah. Orang Bali ramah tamah dan kebudayaan mereka menarik dan indah. Kalimantan luas. Di keliling Sungai Mahakam ada hutan, dan daerah itu damai. Saya suka sekali Lombok.

Pros and Cons

Pros:A fascinating place with many many interesting sights.
Cons:Corruption can sometimes taint a trip and road travel can be frightening.
In a nutshell:A huge country that I one day hope to explore more fully.

Well-written (as usual) tips and observations especially as it includes fond memories of your '89 high school trip. I see why Indonesia is very special to you. And you know the language too!
