Indonesia has two assets in great quantity. Conventional color and great value. It has a piquancy of flavor that you cannot help taking a liking to. And the fact that Indonesian currency has not yet fully recovered from the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s means that deals are galore here. There are so many things to buy and places to travel to or stay in. When you visit the country, you would feel that you have missed visiting it for long. Indonesia is a country with rich culture and heritage and this is evident from what it offers. Indonesia is the fourth most populated country in the world and the largest in South-East Asia. Its tropical forests are the second-largest in the world and it has lot of geographical and cultural diversity. Indonesian culture is the result of assimilation of several foreign and local cultures. Shadow puppetry, locally known as Wayang Kulit, is a distinct Indonesian art.
Indonesia is a huge country, stretching for thousands of miles, from Aceh on the island of Sumatra in the west to the huge unexplored tracts of Irian Jaya in the east. It shares a land border with Malaysia, with the province of Kalimantan being its share of the island of Borneo. It is an archipelago of 17,000 islands, of which about 6,000 are inhabited. So when it comes to Indonesia vacations, the options are plentiful.
Indonesia has seen the rise and fall of Hindu and Buddhist states. The stupa of Borobudur and the temples of Prambanan remind us of those days. Islam is now the dominant faith in the country. When it comes to natural features, there are so many volcanoes, active and extinct, to keep the people interested in geography happy. The markets, called pasars, are something you would like to visit. The beaches here are some of the best in the world. Jakarta, the capital, lies in Java island. It is full of bluster and bustle like all developing towns. The city is well-stocked with restaurants, bars, cinemas and malls.
Indonesia is a nice country to visit. Two things found in Indonesia in abundance are traditional color and value. It is a huge country, stretching for thousands of miles, from Aceh on the island of Sumatra in the west to the huge unexplored tracts of Irian Jaya in the east.

So when it comes to Indonesia vacations, the choices are plentiful. Java, itself a fascinating place, is the most populous island.
Indonesia is a nice place for doing some traditional kind of shopping. Indonesian currency is weak against most currencies, which means that your cash can go a lot further in Indonesia. You can get a whole gamut of goods here at bargain. Thanks to multi cultural influences and its size, Indonesia has truly diverse crafts traditions of the world. You can get things like puppetry, woodwork, picture frames, jewelery, dyed and woven fabrics. Most tourists prefer to do local colored shopping.
