10 Reasons Why I Love Indonesia

1. With only 6 degrees separating one from the equator, one tans really quickly. I already have Chaco tan lines.
2. Living in a very modest country means never having to shave above ones knees. Like, ever...
3. One word: motorbike.
4. Not having to have any kind of special license necessary to drive above-mentioned motorbike. Oh yeah...
5. The fruit. Did I mention the incredible abundance of strange and wonderful fruit that's available? It's mind-blowing.
6. The money is BEAUTIFUL! Also, each denomination is a different color, making identification really easy. And, it's just pretty. (Seriously, Google it...)
7. The sun rises and sets almost exactly 12 hours apart. This makes living on a schedule (and having to get up early for school) much more bearable. It also makes one really tired by 7:30pm
8. Indonesia recognizes 5 major religions (Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, Christianity, and Catholicism [yes, they separate the two]). Each religion gets 5 holidays a year, meaning LOTS of days off of school. Fantastic :-)
9. One can do almost anything at an ATM, including paying for bills and buying more minutes for your handphone. One trip...
10. If you want something, and you can't find it anywhere to buy, you can have it made. Like, anything...

I love this country.
