Trip to Indonesia by Tripmart.com
Indonesia
straddles the Equator between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. While it
has land borders with Malaysia to the north as well as East Timor and Papua New
Guinea to the east, it also neighbors Australia to the south, and Palau, the
Philippines, Vietnam, Singapore, and Thailand to the north, India to the
northwest.
Indonesia
is the sleeping giant of Southeast Asia. With 18,110 islands, 6,000 of them
inhabited, it is the largest archipelago in the world. With almost 240 million
people, Indonesia is the fourth most populous country in the world — after
China, India and the USA — and by far the largest in Southeast Asia. Indonesia
also has the largest Muslim population in the world.
Indonesia
markets itself as Wonderful Indonesia, and the slogan is quite true, although
not necessarily always in good ways. Indonesia's tropical forests are the
second-largest in the world after Brazil, and are being logged and cut down at
the same alarming speed. While the rich shop and party in Jakarta and Bali.
After decades of economic mismanagement 50.6% of the population still earns
less than US$2/day according to figures compiled by the World bank in 2009.
This had come down by 6% in the 2 years between 2007 and 2009.
Infrastructure
in much of the country remains rudimentary, and travellers off the beaten track
will need some patience and flexibility.
According
to the “Energy Access” Working Group Global Network on Energy for Sustainable
Development, in 2001; 53.4% of the Indonesian population had access to
electricity, and they consumed 345 kWh per capita electricity consumption
(kWh/capita). In the same year the residents of nearby Singapore had 100%
access, and they consumed 6,641 kWh/capita. A very large percentage of the Indonesian
population remain reliant upon wood for a cooking fuel. The central government
has in recent years instituted a program of LPG gas access for use as
replacement for the burning of bio-mass sources for cooking.
The
Indonesian people, like any people, can be either friendly or rude to
foreigners. Most of the time, though, they are incredibly friendly to
foreigners.
