When I lived in Singapore, I was able to visit Indonesia 3 times (Gili Meno, Gili Trawangan, and North Sumatra). I can assure you (@puravidaville) that Indonesians are generally much happier and more contented than North Americans (including Canadians such as myself).
It's always a pleasure to travel in any part of Indonesia (except for Jakarta, maybe).
why you do not like jakarta. I've lived in jakarta and it looks good its people are friendly too friendly just sometimes a bit stuck on the road;) @majes.tytyty
Thanks for your replies, and I will clarify. I did not say that the people of Jakarta are not pleasant. I've met many Jakartans, and they are as wonderful and as pleasant as any other Indonesian.
The only thing I implied is that Jakarta, the city itself, is not the most pleasant place. Even my friends who live there tell me that it's not a great place to live nor a good place to visit. They tell me that it's crowded and noisy and chaotic, and anyone who visits will be stuck in a traffic jam.
In fact, just last year, I told my Indonesian friend (who was born and raised in Jakarta) that I might spend a weekend in that city. She advised me NOT to go there, and told me that I'd have a better trip if I went anywhere else in Indonesia.
Jakarta probably has its attractions, and people who live there might like it.
To repeat, ... I simply meant to say that it might not be "a pleasure" to travel in that city.
