    Indonesia is my homeland. I am very proud to be an Indonesian. I really respect my country, even though there are many negative sides of my country but i believe that some day there are transformation happen in my country and also i can be a part of that transformation. What i love about Indonesia is wealth of culture and language, food, and well known places.
    Firstly, Indonesia is wealth of culture and language because Indonesia has about 300 ethnic groups, each with cultural identities developed over centuries, and influenced by Indian, Arabic, Chinese, and European in each area because Indonesia is a large country and those countries have ever visited Indonesia. Traditional Javanese and Balinese dances, for example, contain aspects of Hindu culture.

Indonesia also has many languages. More than 700 regional langauges are spoken in Indonesia's numerous islands. The official language is Bahasa Indonesia. It is influenced by Malay and also local language such as Javanese, Minangkabau, Sundanese, and so on.
    Secondly, Indonesian food is amazing. It has many variety and it is rich of taste. The richness of spices is the main factor of those things. In each province or island has an unique food that can be a symbol of that area, for example is Pempek. It is food from Palembang, South Sumatera. Pempek is not only well known in South Sumatera but also all over Indonesia. If someone said about Pempek, our mind is definitely think about Palembang, because its origin from Palembang. Personally i like Nasi Padang so much because it is rich of taste even it just the soup.

    Lastly, Indonesia has many well known and interesting place to visit. Especially for historical place and maritime tourism. Indonesia has many historical place because Indonesia was colonized country so there are many ancient fortress in each area which have colonized by The Netherlands, for example Fort Rotterdam Fortress in Makassar. Not only historical place but also maritime tourism. Maritime tourism in Indonesia offers the beauty of sea life in Indonesia, for example Raja Ampat, Papua and Bunaken, North Sulawesi.
