oh man, i got a chuckle out of quite a few comments on this thread.

truth be told, bumping around indonesia, taking rickety trains, sketchy ferries and dangerous taxi rides with my family might be my best memories in life

indonesia is very diverse culturally. from sharia law in northern sumatra where separatists are fighting the jakarta government, to animist types in western guinea, to hedonistic balinese hindu's to christians occupying timor.

28million christians in the country.. but [bleep], they darkies. lol
