A story of a nation with 200 million of population

by voo888doo - last update: Sep 3, 2006

Innocent and friendly Indonesian

Tanjung Palai's street
Those hotel employees that i met are friendly, helpful, no racial discrimination despite i'm ethnic chinese. They shake hand with us during farewell moment. One of the employee even invited me to visit Java Island with him. They are not terrosits and pirates as what we always think of.
Tanjung Balai town

Kid beggar, poverty, prostitution and corruption

Kid beggar: healthy kid with both hand and leg

Monthly income: Less than Singapore Dollar $200

Prostitution: Their customers mainly come from Singapore and Malaysia

Corruption: Immigration officers request extra from passengers in public.
Chinese's shop

Chinese in Indonesia

As a minority group, Chinese here is running business rather than being employed, that's why a lot of Chinese and their shop. Chinese contrubutes a lot to Indonesia, but they are discriminated especially in Java Island.
