You must have not known all of that! Checked it from some book, eh??

I remember that the Dutch like to eat some Indonesian foods. Is that right?! Hmmm, I think that there are several islands to make up the country?? These are my guesses! All the best, Rich

@animalkingdom: off course :)
1,2,4,5,6,9 I knew myself.
The other points I have from: www.indonesia.com
However: during highschool geography we had lessons about indonesia, so I knew it was a archipel with loads of islands and that most people were islamic and also that it had a huge population, but the exact numbers I didn’t know, so I checked that on the website.
Geography was always my favourite lesson in school, although I am now a chemical engineer.
Indonesian food is ok!

That it’s located much further west (or east, depending on your POV) than I’ve ever been.
Roxer93 said on June 29, 2004 00:41:
Yes, your language is studied in Australian schools. Or at least it was in mine. We also sampled French and Japanese. That was ten years ago, so I can’t remember much of any of them now. :)

indonesian sounds like malay, i can understand it but the accent is sooooooooooo cute ;)
Roxer93 said on June 29, 2004 12:24:
Yeah, I think it is the same. I used to know a Malaysian guy and he helped me with my Indonesian homework once.

I am bored and started to think about this...
I am from Indonesia, and I know that this country maybe never come across your mind, because I realize it’s not as popular as Spain, US, France, etc...
That’s why I am curious, is there anything you know about Indonesia, maybe the food, songs, or anything...
don’t worry if you mentions “wrong” thing :)
well, I think it will be fun for me to read your reply about this :) and then maybe I won’t bored anymore :)
