Indonesia is consisting of more than 17 thousands islands and islets.
Indonesia has hundreds of native languages and dialects, as well as cultures.
We unite through our national language, Bahasa Indonesia. The descendant of
immigrant, like Chinese, Arabian, Indian, etc, speaks, read and write fluently
in Bahasa Indonesia. We sing our National Anthem, Indonesia Raya, together from
west to east. We also have similar culture despite we have different details in
each culture. We are the locals of Indonesia.
Me? I was born in Indonesia as Indonesia Citizen. I’m the youngest but
the first born child as Indonesia Citizen. My parents were also born in
Indonesia, as well as my big brother and sisters, yet they were holding some
kind like China’s Passport until around late 70’ies. My grandparents were born
in China and came to Indonesia when they were teens (in early 20th century). I
don’t deny my Chinese thingy which run through my blood, yet I prefer people
call me as Indonesian not Chinese, because by the law, by the birth and (first
of all) by my heart, I am an Indonesian.
I’ve been traveling since I was a child. My parents did love traveling
so much. I started to capture my travel moment in early 2000. I love traveling
because by that time, I think I can completely being myself. Yet I can’t do traveling as many as I wish, because of the money and the time. Currently I
work as financial planner in a listed company and I only get (max) 15 days for
my annual leave.
