.................... INDONESIA SAIJIKI

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


Indonesia officially the
Republic of Indonesia (Indonesian: Republik Indonesia), is a country in Southeast Asia and Oceania. Indonesia comprises 17,508 islands. With a population of around 230 million people, it is the world's fourth most populous country, and has the world's largest population of Muslims. Indonesia is a republic, with an elected legislature and president.

Indonesia consists of 17,508 islands, about 6,000 of which are inhabited. These are scattered over both sides of the equator.

Indonesia's size, tropical climate, and archipelagic geography, support the world's second highest level of biodiversity (after Brazil), and its flora and fauna is a mixture of Asian and Australasian species.

The climate of Indonesia is almost entirely tropical.
Temperature varies little from season to season, and Indonesia experiences relatively little change in the length of daylight hours from one season to the next; the difference between the longest day and the shortest day of the year is only forty-eight minutes. This allows crops to be grown all year round.

The main variable of Indonesia's climate is not temperature or air pressure, but rainfall.
Winds are moderate and generally predictable, with monsoons usually blowing in
from the south and east in June through September and
from the northwest in December through March.

To put it simply:

There are two discernible seasons in Indonesia:
the dry season, which extends from June to October,
and
the rainy season, which lasts from November to March.
Both are hot.
The coastal regions, however, are often cool, and in the mountains the air is often chilly.

Keep your dreams
And they will live on
As tiny jewels of joy
In the heart.

Make it a part of our life
To make it better.

The sky coming down -
the taste of cloves in your mouth:
the kretek crackles.

Kretek is Indonesia's unique clove-filled cigarette. The inimitable crackling-fizzling kretek-kretek noise the burning cloves emit follows the smoking of each lit cigarette.

Gabor Terebess (1944-)
Haiku in the Luggage
Bali, 2004

Indonesia (Haiku)

It was eroded…

Has died with the Dutch!
