Everybody in Indonesia speaks Indonesian. However, each island has its own dialect--there are over 300 different dialects across the archipelego (chain of islands) nation.
Indonesian rupiah are used (in much larger denominations) than U.S. dollars. For example, a U.S. dollar is worth 14,500 Indoensian rupiah, and so almost everybody can call themselves a millionaire!
A bottle of water usually costs around 10,000 rupiah, which sounds like a lot, but it's really less than one U.S. dollar!
I ate a lot of nasi goreng, which means fried rice. It's delicious and comes with things like egg, scallions, pork and more.
I listened to the sounds of nature, mostly, but I'm really loving the Chill Hits playlist on Spotify!
Seeing the temple of Borobudur was great. It's massive, and we got to watch the sunrise with our guide.
I just finished "Devil in the White City" by Erik Larson.
Did you know the favorite sport of Indonesians is badminton?
