Culture: You can't imagine how rich Indonesia culture. with thousand native tribes, and every tribe have different culture, music, dance, ceremony and other. Indonesia is ever ending culture destination. Hindu culture of the former Majapahit Empire provided a framework for the cultural traditions of the central islands of Sumatra, Java and Bali. Resulting Islamic Kingdoms had a great influence on the development of the archipelago and it is culturally intertwined with the Malay culture on numerous islands. The dance, music, items such as batik cloth and kris daggers are all influenced strongly by Malay culture and especially in Sumatra. Each island has its own speciality in arts and crafts, dance and music and all are amazing.
Kind of People: It is no doubt that Indonesia has numerous cultures and languages that all coming together in harmony, since many years ago there has been the arrival of people from various countries such as Arabia, India, China, Malay and the others, which has created a pot pourri, a melting pot of cultures and languages. Therefore you will find a variety of peoples here with the heterogeneousltures and languages.You also will find that the society in Indonesia are very hospitable and friendly to all people. You will find the ‘welcome’ will almost in the same way – a broad smile and an invitation to partake in their respective culture and way of life when you travel anywhere in the archipelago.
Culinary: Indonesian culinary is a vast variety of cuisines, from west to east have different culinar with extra ordinary taste. All too often travellers seem to fall into a rut of eating nothing but nasi goreng (fried rice) or pecel. Indonesia have no counting traditional food like sate, pecel, rujak, pleing, b How sad this is because there are much more interesting options like the local foods of each island, the specialties of a particular region. As flavours do tend to be rather simple, there are places such as Padang and Manado where the dishes are fiery. bi guling and so many others. The main staple is rice (nasi) served up in many forms. I always used to laugh when I first visited Indonesia because I was told that Indonesians eat anything that walks or crawls, flies or swims. And, it’s true! The best way to delight in savouring Indonesian cuisine is to try everything. Sure, there will be some foods that make you feel like throwing up but on the other hand, there are many that are simply moorish.
Landscapes: Indonesia have everything, beautyful beaches and mountainous and volcanic this being due to Indonesia’s location on the ‘Ring of Fire’. Indonesia also have tropical forest for you adventure destination. Subsequently you have massive valleys created, vast areas of lowlands, lush rainforest jungles, fast-flowing rivers, thousands of kilometres of coastline and high mountain ranges. All of these are a photographer’s utopia and the variety of subjects is bewildering. Each island, naturally, has its own collective panoramic beauty. For me to choose an island and say it is the best would not be doing justice to the beauty of the other islands. Needless to say, wherever you travel in Indonesia, each turn of the corner on a road, each mountain top reached or at the end of every river yields an amazing surprise.
Underwater: Indonesia is A Vast and Largely Unexplored Archipelago for scuba diving. Indonesia, the world's largest archipelago containing about 15 percent of the world's coral reefs, to some of the most idyllic islands, to the finest dive resorts available. Submerged, immaculate marine coliseums await the avid diver, the myriad fish and invertebrates that shelters among and encrust the rugged surface provided by the clumps, shelves and branches of coral are overwhelming in their numbers, shapes and colors, all are reminder of a time when all the life on earth existed in shallow, tropical seas will make you feel stepping into time machine. About 4000 different species are found in the Indonesian waters (over 25% of the planet's fish species), in comparison to the 1000 found in the Red or the 400 from the Caribbean. Indonesia, is paradise for divers.
Adventure: With so many islands to choose from, mountains and jungles abound offering a variety of adventures from rock-climbing to simply climbing a mountain. The jungle terrain offers excellent hiking opportunities and for those lovers of nature, bird-watching is pleasant in every island, large or small, as is observing the wildlife in any one of the numerous national parks. The many rivers offer tremendous opportunities for those who enjoy white-water rafting or kayaking and recently, sea-kayaking is a newly introduced sport in Indonesia. Skydiving is another great adventure sport you can enjoy and particularly on the island of Java. Then there is the sport of surfing. With thousands of pristine beach breaks and reef breaks throughout the archipelago its no wonder Indonesia is a mecca for surfers world wife. |
