General description

Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world, spread in an area between the Asian continent and Australia, and between the Pacific and the Indian oceans. Indonesia consists of five main islands: Java, Sumatra Kalimantan, Sulawesi and Irian Jaya and about 30 small archipelagoes, a total of more than 17,508 islands. The islands are inhabited by many ethnic groups with diverse cultures and languages. However, there is a national language spoken throughout the country, namely Bahasa Indonesia. English is spoken in the main cities and tourist areas.

The climate and weather of Indonesia is characterized by two tropical seasons, which vary with the equatorial air circulation and the meridian air circulation. The dry season (June to September) is influenced by the Australian continental air masses; while the rainy season (December to March) is the result of the Asian and Pacific Ocean air masses. There are occasional showers during the transitional periods and the general maximum temperature is 33°C (62°F) and the general minimum 21°C (41°F). As of January 1, 1988, Indonesia's three time zones have been changed:

1. Western Indonesia Standard Time equals GMT plus 7 hours (meridian 105 East), covering all provinces in Sumatra and Java, and the provinces of West and Central Kalimantan.

2. Central Indonesia Standard Time equals GMT plus 8 hours (meridian 120 East), covering the provinces of East and South Kalimantan, all provinces in Sulawesi, and the provinces of Bali, West and East Nusa Tenggara and East Timor.

3. Eastern Indonesia Standard Time equals GMT plus 9 hours (meridian 135 East), covering the provinces of Maluku and Irian Jaya.

The Indonesian constitution allows freedom of religion in a predominantly Moslem country, and the state's "Unity in Diversity" motto is a symbol of the co-existence of the

many cultures unified in one nation. These diverse cultures have given Indonesia a rich heritage of traditions and art resulting in festivities throughout the year in different parts of the country, often closely related to religion, particularly on the island of Bali.

Culture

In terms of culture, Indonesia is rich in art and culture which are intertwined with religion and age-old traditions. The basic principles which guide life include the concepts of mutual assistance or ‘gotong royong’ and consultations or ‘musyawarah’ to arrive at a consensus or ‘mufakat.’ Derived from rural life, this system is still very much in use in community life throughout the country. Though the legal system is based on the old

Dutch penal code, social life as well as the rites of passage are founded on customary or "adat" law which differs from area to area. "Adat" law has a binding impact on Indonesian life and it may be concluded that this law has been instrumental in maintaining equal rights for women in the community. Unlike some countries art forms in Indonesia are not only based on folklore, as many were developed in the courts of former kingdoms such as in Bali, where they are part of religious ceremonies. The famous dance dramas of Java and Bali are derived from Hindu mythology and often feature fragments from the Ramayana and Mahabharata Hindu epics.

The crafts of Indonesia vary in both medium and art form. As a whole the people are artistic by nature and express themselves on canvas, wood, metals, clay and stone. The batik process of waxing and dyeing originated in Java centuries ago and classic designs have been modified with modern trends in both pattern and technology. There are several centres of Batik in Java, the major ones being Yogyakarta, Surakarta, Pekalongan and Cirebon. Batik is also being produced in some other areas as in Bali where local designs are incorporated. Batik is also developing in East Kalimantan and South Kalimantan using their ethnic material cultures. In East Kalimantan, for instance, the Batik is called Batik Kaltim using Dayak design. Other provinces produce hand-woven cloths of gold and silver threads, silks or cottons with intricate designs. Paintings are numerous all over the country, both traditional and contemporary, woodcarvings for ornamentation and furniture, silverwork and engraving from Yogyakarta and Sumatra. Throughout Indonesia, regardless of their ethnic affiliations, age is highly respected within households and public spheres. For example, people will not call older people by name only instead they use word Pak (for man) or Ibu (for woman). Business Business meetings are often held over lunch or dinner, especially in the big cities. Indonesians are usually called by their given names preceded by Mr (Bapak) or Mrs (Ibu), especially in business matters. If you wish to greet a new person, a handshake and a ‘hello’ are suitable, but if you have known him/her, you could say ‘how are you? (Apa kabar?)’ and shake his/her hand. A few Muslims will not touch the hand of someone of the opposite sex. Do not get offended if you experience this situation. Business cards are exchanged.

Food and dining Indonesia is home to many ethnic groups. Consequently, Indonesia has a variety of cuisines. Spices and hot chili peppers are the essence of most culinary traditions, and in some areas they are used generously such as in West Sumatra and North Sulawesi. Each province or area has its own cuisine, based on various ingredients and methods of cooking. Each area also has its own specialty. For instance, in West Sumatra, people can get delicious rendang (beef curry) and sate padang (beef sate), whilst in Yogyakarta people can enjoy gudeg yogya (young jack fruit with coconut milk and brown sugar). In Bali, Irian Jaya and the highlands of North Sumatra and North Sulawesi pork dishes are

specialities. As the population of Indonesia is predominantly Moslem, pork is usually not served except in Chinese restaurants, non Moslem regions, and in places serving international cuisine. In big cities, especially Jakarta, people can get different types of food from every region in the archipelago in every price range. The least expensive food is found in traditional markets, small foodstalls (warung), and tented foodstalls (warung tenda) along the streets. Reasonably-priced meals may also be had at the food courts of shopping malls. For instance, in Jakarta’s traditional markets people may spend around Rp 10.000 for a plate of rice, chicken and vegetables, but pay double for a similar meal in the shopping malls. Fancy restaurants can be located in the hotel or single building. The staple food for most of Indonesia is rice. On some of the islands in eastern Indonesia, staple food traditionally ranges from corn, sago, cassava to sweet potatoes, though this is changing as rice becomes more popular. From the surrounding seas as well as from fresh water fisheries, a great variety of seafood is in abundance, including lobsters, oysters, prawns, shrimps, squid, and crab. Fish features prominently in the diet, either fresh, salted, dried, smoked or in a paste. Coconut is found everywhere and besides being produced for cooking oil, its milk and the juice from the white meat is an ingredient for many dishes. There is a wide variety of tropical and sub-tropical vegetables all year round. Fruit is available throughout the year. Some fruits such as mangoes and watermelon are seasonal, but most of the other fruits can be bought throughout the whole year, such as bananas, apples, papayas, pineapples, oranges, etc. Coffee and tea plantations are plentiful, growing on several islands, and served everywhere from fine restaurant to small village stalls. There are several breweries which produce local beer. Bali produces "brem" which is a rice wine, whereas Toraja has its "tuak" which is also known in North Sumatra and other areas. For most people, a meal consists of steamed white rice with side dishes of meat, chicken, fish and vegetables along with a glass of tea. The Most popular Indonesian food: Gado-gado which is salad with peanut sauce. It is usually served with krupuk crackers and if one chooses, steamed rice.

Soto is clear soup with slices of beef, veal of chicken meat. It is served with crisp potato chips. A little chilli sauce can be added. Popular varieties are Soto Kudus, Soto Madura and Soto Surabaya.

Sate (satay), is broiled skewered meat, with either soy or peanut sauce and, if desired, chilli sauce. It is served with either steamed rice or lontong slices of rice, packed and steamed in a banana leaf.

Sop, or soup, comes in many varieties. Perhaps the most popular in Jakarta is sop kaki, which is a soup, prepared from the boiled tendon of a cow's or goat's leg. Commonly served with rice. Also popular is the Jakarta version of oxtail soup, or sop buntut.

Nasi goreng is white rice fried and then spiced with ground onions, garlic, fish or shrimp paste, some red chilli peppers and salt. Prawns or shrimps, chicken meat, beef and sometimes (pork) and egg are added.

Bakmie Goreng or fried noodles are China's contribution to the Indonesian culinary treasury. As the overwhelming majority of Indonesians are Moslems, the Indonesian variety of the dish contains no pork and usually little beef, but often plenty if chicken meat. Perhaps even more Indonesian-ised is the boiled version of the dish, mie rebus.

Bakso meatball soup is another dish that presumably hails from China. Common varieties are mie bakso, bakso goring, bakso kuah and bakso bihun.

Rendang is a thick dark curry of beef slices, which come from the province of Sumatera Barat. It is, however, just one of the many dishes from that region that are very popular in Jakarta, and elsewhere in Indonesia, for that matter.

A very popular side dish in Indonesia is sambal, which comes in an endless variety. Most common is sambal terasi, a thick chilli paste of pounded dried fish or shrimp. Sometimes, lime juice or tomatoes are added for extra flavour. The sauce accompanies other dishes and is usually served with lalap, or fresh raw or steamed vegetables
