“Dear all readers in Developed Country…”

My plane was delayed just 5 minutes before take off. There are some trouble in the engine they said. At now, I’m in the Sepinggan Airport in Balikpapan, East Borneo waiting for the announcement about my flight to Jakarta. Having a cup of coffee and cigarettes seems a good idea while waiting for the departure announcement. Oh, about delayed? Common things in Indonesia.

As an Indonesian civilian, I often saw a lot of phenomena in here. Start from the stupid one until the serious one, such as politic, cultural issues, equality, poverty and so on. I have to admit that Indonesia is one of the most beautiful country on earth. You should visited my country before dead, mark my word.

Indonesia is a country in South-East Asia, with a total population almost 300 million. This number making Indonesia is in fourth place as the country with the most population. We have a lot of natural tourism, such as Mount Bromo, Borobudur Temple, Kawah Ijen, Bali, Lombok, Komodo Island, Bunaken, Derawan and so on. The weather in Indonesia is also very friendly. Our natural resources are also incomparable with another country, making Indonesia should be the greatest or developing country. But, the truth hits different…

“When Japan and France already have high-speed trains, we still busy with conflicts between races and religions.”

I’m sad to see these kind of phenomena, about seeing how my people’s mindset is not as beautiful as their country. We are too easily fooled, pitted against, and manipulated to take care of things that shouldn’t be a problem for us. This has implications which make our mindset closed, to think about something more competent and matter rather than arguing about which religion is the most correct and which ethnic group is the noblest.

Dear all my readers in Japan, France, UK, US and so on. I want to congratulate you guys for being a developed country. Having an environment that discuss about progress, ideals politics, stable economics and morality seems more exciting rather than clashing swords with the people who are not in the same religion and ethnicity. That’s the short notes from underground according my thoughts.

I have to flight. Thanks for reading, would hear your thoughts in the comment section. Stay healthy everyone, all the love…
