INDONESIA: SOMETHING INTERESTING AT EVERY TURN

If you dream of travelling to a country with beautiful tropical islands, wonderful food, beautiful places to go sightseeing, and very friendly people, you should visit Indonesia.

If you look at the map, the first thing you notice is that Indonesia is made up of islands-17.000 of them. Travelling between islands by boat is great fun. Just like the many islands, there are also many different groups of people living in Indonesia. In fact, there are around 300 different ethnic groups! Most Indonesians are Malay, but others are Javanese, Balinese, and Chinese. All these groups together make Indonesian culture very interesting.

Finally, Indonesia has many cities and historical sights to see. Jakarta, the capital city, is fast becoming a modern centre of commerce, yet the ancient temples on the island of Bali show that the country’s old traditions are still alive. All the people, places, and things to see definitely make Indonesia a great place for a vacation.
