About Indonesian


Identification. The Republic of Indonesia, the world's fourth most populous nation, has 203 million people living on nearly one thousand permanently settled islands. Some two-to-three hundred ethnic groups with their own languages and dialects range in population from the Javanese (about 70 million) and Sundanese (about 30 million) on Java, to peoples numbering in the thousands on remote islands.

The nature of Indonesian national culture is somewhat analogous to that of India—multicultural, rooted in older societies and interethnic relations, and developed in twentieth century nationalist struggles against a European imperialism that nonetheless forged that nation and many of its institutions. The national culture is most easily observed in cities but aspects of it now reach into the countryside as well. Indonesia's borders are those of the Netherlands East Indies, which was fully formed at the beginning of the twentieth century, though Dutch imperialism began early in the seventeenth century.

Indonesian culture has historical roots, institutions, customs, values, and beliefs that many of its people share, but it is also a work in progress that is undergoing particular stresses at the beginning of the twenty-first century.

Location and Geography. Indonesia, the world's largest archipelago nation, is located astride the equator in the humid tropics and extends some 2,300 miles (3,700 kilometers) east-west, about the same as the contiguous United States. It is surrounded by oceans, seas, and straits except where it shares an island border with East Malaysia and Brunei on Borneo (Kalimantan); with Papua New Guinea on New Guinea; and with Timor Loro Sae on Timor. West Malaysia lies across the Straits of Malaka, the Philippines lies to the northeast, and Australia lies to the south.

The archipelago's location has played a profound role in economic, political, cultural, and religious developments there. For more than two thousand years, trading ships sailed between the great civilizations of India and China via the waters and islands of the Indies. The islands also supplied

Yogjakarta Tourism Jogja tourism Indonesia

Yogyakarta – often shortened locally to simply Yogja – is at the very heart of the beautiful tourist island of Java, Indonesia, and gives a fantastic taste of what’s to come with the rest of this phenomenal island. Surrounded by beautiful white terraces, backed by the striking Merapi Mountain and within a stone’s throw of some truly world-class beaches, Java’s heartland might be rustic and backwards at times, but it’s also welcoming and more than a little enchanting.

The backwards nature of Java, in fact, is a large part of the appeal. Leaving your hotel in Yogyakarta, your options for getting around the city will include horse and cart, the back of a dodgy local’s motorbike and a pedicab – a kind of tiny pedal-powered rickshaw. The city streets are inundated with perfect souvenir material: homemade handicrafts and postcard sellers, as well as temples dating back thousands of years to explore and photograph.

Locals are noticeably uneasy with modernity – a great thing for those who like their travel a little edgy – and as a result the city is home to some seriously dated but utterly fascinating sites. Eccentric local artist Affandi, for example, lived out his life producing impressionist masterpieces in a tree house just outside the city, a sight that’s now become a museum to the local hero. The Greater Kraton Compound, meanwhile, is the former home of a local sultan, and now occupied by thousands of locals, home to all its own facilities and essentially marks a city within a city.

The city’s Main Market is home to towering spices and local fruit and vegetables, and has been home to many of the same family traders for decades, while the Purawisata Theme Park is a taste of traditional Java-style entertainment, including performances of traditional dance, a fun fair and difficult to master local games.

There can hardly be a better taste of traditional Indonesia than this particular city, an absolute must-see for any visitor to Java, and home to some of the more unusual customs you’re likely to stumble across on your travels.
