Indonesia has a very diverse life styles. There are many rich
people, and at the same time there are poor people too. In big cities, like
Jakarta, you will find big houses which may be more expensive than houses
in Beverly Hills. (The land itself is so expensive, as if there is gold
underneath.) In slum areas, you will see homeless people live on the street.
In street intersection you will see beggars going from car to car begging
for money.
Most brochures talk about the beauty of Indonesia. This site will
document everything; the good, the bad, and the ugly. You deserve the
truth.
In this new update I add more good things about Indonesia, since many
readers suggested that I should not leave out many good things. I hope, now,
it is more balanced. I added more pictures and will add more in the future
(a friend lent me his digital camera for those pictures. I wish I have one
of my own. Want to donate a digital camera?).
