I lived and worked there for 6 years 1994 to 2000.  I go back there every few years for vacations.  I married one and I also work with many here at my office in the US.  \nIt's an Asian country located above Australia and below Singapore.  It's a colection of 18,000+ islands.  Some are very large and would take you days to cross like the island of Java, Kalimantan, and Sumatra.  And some of them you can walk across in a few minutes like Pulau Seribu.\nFrom a satellite you would see green, dense forest.  From an airplane you would see a civilization of farm land (rice pattys) and cities.  From a helicopter you would see people, either on the streets in cars are in the fields working.  From a car you would see traffic.  Many of the streets in big and little cities are crowded.\nIt's a tropical enviroment with many different landscapes; Jungle, hills, flatlands, farmlands, beaches, rivers bottoms, swamps, big cities , etc...  It's either Hot or rainy/hot, never cold (unless your up in the hills).  All the island are near the equator.  Lot's of trees where ever there isn't people.  \nLot's of people too.  The population is very dense (4th largest in the world).  There isn't many places left where you don't see houses.  You are always within walking distance to someones house.\nThe people are all very friendly to forieners.  They do have a few who are not-so-friendly and would like to steal from you are harm you, but that is true in every country in the world.  Most Indonesians are very friendly, sometimes TOO friendly.  \nMany foriegners are supprised by the personal questioning they get from the local Indonsians.  \nA taxi driver will ask you at least ten questions within a short time.  For example:  1. Where are you from?  2. How long are you staying?  3. Are you married?  4. Do you have children/brothers/sisters, how many?  5. Do you speak Indonesian?  6. Do you want to live in Indonesia?  7. What is your favorite thing in Indonesia?  etc.....  \nThey are not being nosy, they just want to learn about you and see how simular the two of you are.  They might say, "Oh yes, I'm married too, and I have two children just like you."  And they smile when they say it, as if they have just found a common bond between you and him.  As if you are friends now.\nThey may ask your religion.  They may be a different religion than theirs but their conversation will lead into how they are simular.  I am a Christian and I've had many, many wonderful conversations with other Indonesians about how simular Christianity is with Islam (90% of Indonesians are Islamic). They are not trying to convert me, they are again only trying to relate to me and show how simular the two of us are.\nNot many Indonesians have had long conversations with a Westerner.  Most of their Western knowledge is taken from  Hollywood and they know it's not all true.  \nThere are many poor people in Indonesia, but that doesn't make them bad people.  They lead a simple life.  It makes me wonder sometimes if it's not a better life than most westerners lead. Most Indonesians are what we call "religious people".  They follow their religions and participate in the customs of that religion.  If they are Islamic they pray everyday, five times a day.  If they are Christian, they will be at Church on Sundays, and the Buddist and Hindus follow their traditions and customs.  I rarely found someone who wasn't a follower of their own religion...\nI enjoyed living there.  I hope you can visit someday and see for yourself...

Yes.\nI initially was going to talk about the Komodos from Indonesia, and also about crocodiles and alligators, but the best most interesting answer is here:\n\nhttp://www.fortunecity.com/skyscraper/redmond/23/dragon.html\n\nI do not copy the material as to not plagerize their material, but well worth checking out on this concept.

I think there is a company in Thailand (Shin Satellite) that provides a Broadband IP service all over south Asia called IPSTAR.  I know the service is already active in Austrailia, so it might be available in Indonesia.

First of all, Indonesia is the largest country in Southeast Asia.  Second, there are a bunch of major fault lines crossing Indonesia - this basically means that big chunks of the Earth's crust are moving around and hitting one another.  This has various effects, and one of them is to create mountains.  The Earth has layers to it, and when the top layers move enough, magma, which is called lava when it reaches the surface, comes up from a deeper layer.  The magma and the mountains make volcanoes, and since Indonesia has a lot of the right factors to create volcanoes, it has a lot of them.

their history is so interesting because of the different countries that came there, tried to conquer it, left their mark on it.  It is a kind of United States of Asia.  Filipinos are friendly, curious, and very tolerant of others.   They are located just north of the largest Moslem population in the world--Indonesia.  Yet this great island nation has  maintained its character and its diversity, while Indonesia has not.   How did the Philippine Islands get this way?  That is the reason to study the history.

Yes.The Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste or East Timor is the newest independent country in the world, located in Southeastern Asia. It consists of the eastern half of the island of Timor, the nearby islands of Atauro and Jaco, and Oecussi-Ambeno, an exclave of East Timor situated on the northwestern side of the island, surrounded by Indonesian West Timor. The small country is located about 400 miles northwest of Darwin, Australia.\n\nThe name Timor is derived from timur the Malay word for 'east', which became Timor in Portuguese. The Portuguese name Timor-Leste and Tetum name Timor Lorosa'e are sometimes used in English. Lorosa'e means 'rising sun' in Tetum.\n\nEast Timor has the lowest per capita GDP (Purchasing Power Parity adjusted) in the world of only $400 (which corresponds to the 192nd, and last, position). However, regarding HDI, it is in 140th place among the world's nations, which corresponds to medium human development.\n\nColonized by Portugal in the 16th century, East Timor was known as Portuguese Timor for centuries. It was invaded by Indonesia in 1975, which occupied it until 1999. Following the UN-sponsored act of self-determination that year, Indonesia relinquished control of the territory, which achieved full independence on May 20, 2002. With the Philippines, East Timor is one of only two majority Roman Catholic countries in Asia.
