My Beautiful Country

Have you ever heard the country named Indonesia ? Have you ever been there before ? It is a thousand island with 5 main big islands. It is located in Asia continental. This country is a tropic country and has high humidity. It has many beautiful islands and wonderful cities for you to visit.The people here are very warm, kind hearted and welcoming people from otherplaces. Our capital city is Jakarta, it is located in Java island, one of the main big island in Indonesia.

I would like to introduce you some beautiful cities that you may visit :

1. Jakarta

It is our capital and metropolitan city. It also the largest city in Indonesia with population of nearly 8,500,000. I and my family live in this city. We can fulfil almost all of our necessities in this city. There are many people from other island come to Jakarta, because they believe Jakarta is the source of everything, and easy to earn a living. To me, this is not absolutely right. To earn a living, it depends on your expertise and the hard work, not the location merely. At the end, not everyone who come to Jakarta succeed.

From Jakarta, you can easily go to other nearby cities like Bogor, Bandung, and few other cities in Sumatra and Java just by driving through the high way. Nearest place to drive is to Bogor, it only take you about an hour to reach there.

Food in Jakarta also has many variety. Main character of our food is spicy and sweet in taste. Many outsiders like our food very much. We also use some spices and herbs to cook, so the food has different flavour from others. Our favourite foods are satay, curry, martabak, pempek, gado-gado, etc

2. Bali

To me, the most beautiful island in my country is Bali. However, I only been there once, and looking forward to be there again soon. It has many beautiful sea-sides, and the weather is hot, good for sun shining, enjoy the sun set, swimming, and strolling. The people there are very polite and welcoming. They are also very religious, quite different from the people in other city. The well known places in Bali are Pantai Kuta, Pantai Nusa Dua, and many other great places.

The main difference between Jakarta and Bali is the activity that people doing. Jakarta is the city for business and Bali is the place for holiday and enjoyment.

If you do have some holidays or leisure time, please consider to visit my beautiful country and I promise you that one time visit will never be enough for you to cover the whole city.

For anybody who love to cook, please try some of my cooking recipes :

1. Chicken Curry

It's a recipe worth to try for anybody who likes to eat chicken with a little spicy flavour.

2. Homemade Cake with Cheese Topping

Try this homemade yet delicious and tasty cake in your free time. The cake is easy to bake. It won't spend you much time.

3. Cooking Barley in Simple Way

In fact, barley is easy to cook, it can be easily mixed with any ingredients of cooking. It has no specific flavour or taste in natural, that's why barley is very flexible to cook with any other kinds of food. 

4. How to Cook Minced Meat Tofu

Tofu is a delicious yet nutritious food. It is made of soya bean, which contains high vitamin. Speaking of vitamin, our body definitely need it. That’s why I would recommend everybody to eat tofu.

I wouldn't dream of visiting Indonesia or any other country for that matter until and only drug trade laws are caught up. Do you remember what happened to Shapelle Corby from Australia? I don't want that happening to me or my loved ones. Seems like the bad guys get away with a lot of crap but everyone in the end, when they come to see Jesus face to face (whether they believe it or not..isn't the question...it's a matter of FACT...they WILL see him, we all will be held accountable to what we did or didn't do), they will be held accountable for what they did to her and others like her. No, I will NOT be visiting that horrid country...or Aruba either...

I like civilised countries like the USA.

Mara,

Just because something happened to one person, doesn't mean the whole of Indonesia is bad. I will say; however, that I agree with you regarding the Corby case. I don't believe her or anyone else in Indonesia's prisons are taken care of very well. Our prisons here in the USA (even the worse ones) are by far rosey in comparison to those in third world countries. The justice system in Indonesia sucks, that's for sure but not ALL people in Indonesia do a bad country make. It IS a beautiful country, but it too like the USA has some bad people who live there.

Hi Mara, thanks for your comment. Please try not to think on bad side of anything. We just have to be careful and be cautious to everywhere we go. Still, this country is a nice place to visit and there are many people coming here. I hope you may change your opinion about Indonesia one day :)

I've made an article about Bali, Indonesia. You can check it out. There's a resemblance between your language and our dialect here in Bicol, Philippines. And the cooking, too.

Two thumbs for you, Mrs. E! :D

Hi Kanika, welcome to jakarta! Jakarta is the capital city of Indonesia, so there are many office buildings and shopping centres. But you can go to Bandung and Bogor which is around 2 hours from Jakarta. It has more places for entertainment like Taman Safari Indonesia (it's a zoo)in Bogor. For vegetarian food, it is not too many here. But you can request for it at the place you visit. There are some vegetarian restaurants as well depend on the area that you stay. Hope you have a pleasant trip in Jakarta:)
