As an Indonesian citizen, I will try questions that are often asked by other countries.
Yes, we are a miserable country! Because we are perceived as a nation of slaves and lack modern structures, all we can do is construct temples like this.
Borobudur Temple
The complex of three Buddhist temples known as the Borobudur Temple Compounds is located in Central Java, Indonesia, and is included as a World Heritage Site. It consists of Pawon, Mendut, and Borobudur.
The temples are in a straight line and were constructed between the eighth and ninth century CE during the Shailendra dynasty.
Prambanan Temple
This is Indonesia's largest Shiva-focused temple complex, having been constructed in the tenth century.
Three temples honoring the three major Hindu deities—Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma—as well as three temples honoring the animals who serve them—rise above the center of the final of these concentric squares. These temples are each embellished with reliefs depicting scenes from the Ramayana.
Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world with 17,508 islands inhabited by more than 360 ethnic groups. Here some of our island
Belitung Island
East of Sumatra, Indonesia has an island called Belitung. Tanjung Tinggi and Tanjung Kelayang, two beaches on the main island, are well-known for having excellent sand, round granite boulders, and tranquil waves.
Tanjung Pandan, the biggest town on the island, has a vibrant waterfront and Dutch colonial buildings. A 19th-century lighthouse and swimming among the coral reefs may be found on Pulau Lengkuas, one of numerous small offshore islands.
Padar Island
Within the Komodo Archipelago, Padar, also referred to as Pada, is a small island that is administered by the West Manggarai Regency in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia.
It is situated between Komodo and Rinca islands. Within Komodo National Park, it is the third-largest island.
Weh Island
Weh Island, often called Sabang for the city where it is administered, is a tiny active volcanic island northwest of Sumatra that may be reached in 45 minutes by quick regular ship or two hours by ferry from the Banda Aceh peninsula.
Kai Islands
The Maluku Islands, which are in the province of Maluku, include a collection of islands known as the Kai Islands of Indonesia.
Due to locally distinctive plants like nutmeg, mace, and cloves that initially piqued the interest of the European nations of the 16th century, the Moluccas have earned the nickname "Spice Islands."
I'm not mention about Bali because it's possible that everyone has heard of the island.
Indonesia takes pride in its diverse cultural heritage.
Because each region has its own own traditional culture, this archipelagic nation has a lot to offer. This distinctiveness is evident in everything from the traditional homes, specific cuisine, traditional dances, attire, and manner of life.
Everything is highly diverse, from color to ethnicity to religion to culture. The Indonesian population is therefore used to diversity. Compared to more homogeneous nations, this one is more accepting of variations, making ethnic diversity feel alien.
Since our people were unable to invent public transportation or airplanes, nature provided them for our entertainment instead.
Komodo Dragon
The Komodo dragon, also called the Komodo monitor, is a species of monitor lizard that is unique to the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, and Gili Motang.
It is a member of the Varanidae family of monitor lizards. It can reach a maximum length of 3 m and a maximum weight of 70 kg, making it the largest living species of lizard.
Cendrawasih Bird
Cendrawasih are known for their extravagantly beautiful feathers that spread from their beaks, wings, and heads. They also have long bills and powerful feet.
Its body is covered in a variety of colors, from red and green to yellow and blue. The male species, however, are the only ones with the stunning feathers, as the female birds require them for mating.
We are so far behind other nations in technology and lack television, which is extremely unfortunate. As a result, we get to experience sights like this instead
It's more than enough for us to watch the sunset with our loved ones.
Although we are a country of so-called developing nations without amusement parks like SeaWorld or WaterBoom, nature nevertheless loves us by providing this.
yeah, like a giant pond which of course is natural and inhabited by millions of other very beautiful creatures
Raja Ampat ( Papua )
Raja Ampat is the only truly unreachable island in the world due of its wide marine life. Raja Ampat is a collection of tiny islands with dense forest covering them, hilly islands with forests covering them, beaches with smooth sand, lagoons, goas, and waterways with clear-tipped fins.
North Sulawesi
Divers can encounter unusual creatures like mimic octopus and colorful cuttlefish as well as a variety of seahorses, squid, nudibranchs, and frogfish in these fantastic muck and reef areas.
Oh yeah, last one is we don't have capital city with beautiful building, we only have this.
Knowing the benefits of living in Indonesia is crucial for any Indonesian person. There are many things to be proud of and learn more about as we reflect on the past. Understanding this can help society, and young people in particular, develop their passion for the nation.
Indonesia is not without flaws; we struggle with corruption and a variety of other issues. However, we are confident that we will grow into a country that can uphold the principles of kindness toward other people and the environment.
