Indonesia Trip part 3

INDONISIA(印尼) is a country which has 220 million populations and there are only 4 million people are living in a rich level. There are 95% population are Muslim but our Sumatra local guide told us, Indonesia does not want other countries think they are a Islamic country. For me what an interesting theory to think about that.

What we experienced there, there are nice and polite. There is one special part is extreme-Islamism in north of Sumatra (Aceh). So it’s good to know that we are safe in this trip. But you still have to get use to the mosque start to pray (singing) in middle of night to wake you up. They pray 5 times a day. The time are 4:30, 12:30, 17:00, 22:00. So we heard the type playing or real singing all the time during our daily activity.

Day8 = Bandung
We stay in this city and visited the Coffee factory which still use the old technical which they learn 70 years ago from Dutch. And we also vested a very famous way-ang poppen(doll)maker and everybody bought some of these way-ang doll (華暘木偶). We visited the local way-ang music school to play the music together with all the kids in the music school.

Day9 =Bandung - Pangandaran
Today is our shopping day 我買了木偶, 二件紗龍, 一個D&G 的皮包(here cost 30euro is a real one oh) Holland will cost 300-600euro. 一件粉紅紗龍上衣. 很爽就是啦!!

Our group has 12 senior people and 4 young people (included us). And we have good time together because such small group so we take care each other and share the same jokes sometimes. Now I realize that my husband is right. The roundreis (join the group) most of time is for senior citizen most of time is not for young citizen. I don’t want to believe that in the beginning and now I experienced it. Strange is not the same like Taiwan’s travel group.

In Asia(Japan, Taiwan, China) you can see lot of young people in the group, I guess that is because big percentage of young people doesn’t dare to go out by self or it still is not our habit.
AM I right ?
