General overview...
Indonesia is an Archipelago... the world largest archipelago. We have over 13.000 islands strech from Sabang to Merauke. Its size is almost as big as North America. But the land itself is only 1/5 of a percent and the rest is water. The main island are Java, Bali, Madura, Lombok, Sumatera, Kalimantan (other country call it Borneo), Sulawesi and Timor...and the rest are smaller island. overall about 3500 islands out of 13.000 island are inhabited.

Geographical location: Indonesia located in the South East of Asia along the Equator bordering with Malaysia on the North side and Papua New Guinea on the East side.

Population: about 200 million people live in Indonesia.The most dense population is in Java where big cities like Bandung Jogyakarta, Semarang, Surabaya, Malang and capital city (Jakarta) are located. That is understandable, because just like big cities around the world... New York... Atlanta... Boston... Los Angeles etc... are also packed with people, trafic jams, homeless people, corporate leaders, and C.E.Os. (Chief Executive Officer) you see it everywhere and everyday.


Universities: In West Java there are University of Indonesia (Jakarta), and University of Parahyangan and Institute Technology Bandung(ITB)Located in Bandung.
Central Java there are... University of Gajahmada (Jogyakarta) and University of Surabaya and Institute of Technology Surabaya (ITS) located in East Java. I will update this list as I get more Information.

Languages: Official language is BAHASA INDONESIA (Not Malay) In a way there are some similarity with Phillipino language. For example... Payung is an Umbrella in both Indonesia and Phillipines.
School System: Children from Kindergarten thru Middle School, they have previllege to enjoy this education for free. But from High School thru college you have your own choice of school at your own expense.

Under heavy construction... so were a hard hat will you... ha..ha. just kiding...please hurry back..
