| Indonesia’s an interesting
country where traditions and culture happily live cheek by jowl with modernisation. Where
karaoke lounges, glass-and-steel office buildings and loud nightclubs stand alongside old
temples and colonial buildings dating back to the time when Jakarta was called Batavia.
Indonesia has its fair share- in fact perhaps more than its fair share- of cities of more
historical and cultural value- cities like Surakarta or Solo, with its amazingly beautiful
palaces, or Yogyakarta, with its famous temples and palaces. |

In Indonesia there are settlements,
which still retain the beauty of colonial days -Bandung, with it’s quaint old-world
charm and its distinctive Dutch art-deco architecture, lives up pretty well to its
reputation as the ‘Paris of Java’. And there are places in Indonesia, which are
so beautiful- naturally- that even without attractions like monuments and history,
they’re worth a visit.
