This Country I really Love

Indonesia may not a famous name in the world, though it is a big country with the 4th highest population amount in the world
People know Bali better.. while Bali is just one of more than 17.000 islands in this country or one of hundreds great destination for holiday..

But it is not about the place that I want to tell here
It’s about the people in this country
There are hundreds of races and local languages in here
There are 5 major religions
But there is one culture they share

They use to live the hard way since colonialism by Dutch for centuries until 66 years ago
But in the hard time they can smile
They believe in togetherness
They believe in peace
They believe that neighbors can be closer than relatives
They believe in happiness in modest way
They believe they should help people around

I have heard that internationally Indonesia is considered as the nicest country, as the country of people with most beautiful smile.. regardless in contradiction also famous of some terorism stories
I do agree with the first.. But I don’t agree for the second one.. not that I’m in majority religion here.. I do in the minority side.. Yes we have to struggle sometimes.. especially for people in the country side.. but I do believe everything’s getting better as there is growing understanding..

I do believe this country will be much nicer in the future..

I haven’t gone abroad but as I heard stories and I believe in my heart.. no place will replace this country..

Don’t hear the news only.. please read all testimonials.. and you’ll find out that you will be longing to go to this country..

Well it will take a while to go around Indonesia.. I myself haven’t got a chance.. but you can just taste little to be falling in love with my Indonesia!!

*As a tribute to National team of Soccer of Indonesia. I wrote this after we get defeated by Malaysia (21-11-11), but I respect your endless effort my dear heros!!
