Wtf happens here?! >huge country>absolutely beautiful>same part of world as Thailand and Vietnam kino>ancient history >probably cheap as fuckIs it an Islamic hellhole, or an untapped resource? There must be some amazing experiences lurking in the 10million islands*apart from Bali
>>2834644Many foreigners are turned off by how overcrowded Java is - and how primitive/rural/poorly developed the other islands are. Java's population density is higher than the shittiest, poorest, most crowded state in India (Bihar). I've considered visiting Sumatra multiple times, but the vast distances and shitty transport infrastructure make it a serious ordeal to travel around the island starting at Belawan or Dumai ferry port. Last trip I decided to stay in peninsular Malaysia, which is pricier for a budget traveler, but far more orderly and well-developed. Very easy and cheap to get around Malaysia. Personally I've decided to visit India before visiting Indonesia, although hotels in Sumatra start at far lower rates than they do in much of India.
>>2834644It's stupidly cheap to live in, it's just overwhelmingly muslim so that means most gooners can't get easy strange. Thus it's never going to be talked about here.
>>2834648> I've considered visiting Sumatra multiple times, but the vast distances and shitty transport infrastructure make it a serious ordeal to travel around the island starting at Belawan or Dumai ferry port.I’ve traveled around Sumatra a couple of times CC and had no issues getting around whatsoever. Sounds like a you problem.
>>2834649I love how this is just the asian hooker board
To be real, Indonesia is great but the main cities are just your run of the mill super business export based cities for cheap labor. The culture is literally "the europeans made it up 2-300 years ago" and it shows to this day. Jakarta is probably the one of the few places anyone here will go to outside drunk aussies going to Bali.No one here is realistically goning outside East Java island. With that said, you might as well go to Malaysia. The only real thing Indonesia has is that it's a cheaper version of SEA if you're willing to forgo hookers.
>>2834644I go there often. I love it! especially the food.Some parts of Indonesia are actually mostly Christian, such as Medan.There are actually twice as many Christians in Indonesia than in neighboring Australia.And you can smoke everywhere. Food courts in shopping malls have indoor smoking sections. Even McDonald's has ashtrays, with the McDonald's logo on them. I've been meaning to steal one.Average meal price is like $1 US, and it will regularly be the greatest thing you've ever tasted. Over and over this happens.Just go!
>>2834694>Some parts of Indonesia are actually mostly Christian, such as Medan.Hmmm, never actually knew there's entire regions of Christians. Papua doesn't look too viable as a territory moving forward, kek.
>>2834724Anything happening in Flores? It's the pink catholic in the south - between Bali and East Timor.Used to be a Portuguese colony. Any life there?
>>2834694I've had the Malukus in my crosshairs for a while now, ever gotten to that part - I'm thinking to spend a while in Ambon/Ceram, but would also go to Ternate and tidore
>>2834644I was in a city in Sulawesi recently. Absolutely zero sidewalks or street lighting and lots of open sewers. I made the mistake of looking up at the night sky for just maybe 2 seconds, forgetting where I was, I fell into a sewer, slammed my chin into the concrete and ripped my pants at the knees. Fucking piece of shit shit hole. The food is only marginally better than Philippines.It's like saying "hey! How come nobody goes to Bangladesh!?" Reasons.
>>2834742What the fuck were you doing there? The shape of the island looks kino. Is there any major diffrences between parts of it? Do people just jungle bunny around everywhere without giving a fuck?
>>2834649>it's just overwhelmingly muslim so that means most gooners can't get easy strangeIn fact it is easier and cheaper to get pussy in indonesia as a muslim man, than anywhere else in SEA. The sex industry in indonesia is pervasive and everywhere, and is much more fucked up and 'sex slavery' (debt slavery) style than other places.There is islamic whoring, where you get a temporary wife (for a couple hours, then divorce her). Or straight up sex slavery where you spend a pitiful sum to gain raw pussy access to run through women of all ages. Rural indonesia is full of families who sell their daughters into sex slavery to buy something they think they need, or because of a crisis. It's similar to thailand about 30 years ago. The market for rural sex slaves is only growing as indonesia becomes more urbanized, and because their culture is so backwards and retarded partially due to islam, the situation is not dealt with.>>2834694>There are actually twice as many Christians in IndonesiaJust like most africans claiming to be christian, they aren't actually christians. They have all sorts of local bullshit they do alongside "christianity". It's a larp. Feel free to go to one of their sunday services and see the type of retarded shit going on if you don't believe me. The number of actual practiciing christians in the world is vanishingly small compared to the numbers claimed.
>>2834744>What the fuck were you doing there?Just exploring >The shape of the island looks kino.It looks like a swastika. 16 million jews died need I remind you.>Is there any major diffrences between parts of it?The south is Muslim, the north is Christian >Do people just jungle bunny around everywhere without giving a fuck?What?
>>2834685>forgo hookers.indonesians are coomers, and have a huge cooming industry for themselves, and for indians coming over from singapore its simply a bit less 'overt' than other places, for example if you have a maid, you can ask her to bring you a girl, she will know what you mean and will bring you a girl later or the next day, dressed like a maid but ready to bang every muslim society is fueled by secretive sex trafficking, indonesia is no different
There's even a '''''''holy mountain'''''''' in Indonesia where couples go up to wife swap.>Legend has it that in the 16th Century, Prince Pangeran Samodro had an affair with his step-mother Nyai Ontrowulan. They ran off to Mount Kemukus and committed incest. However, they were caught in the act by soldiers and local villagers, who killed the couple and buried them in one hole.>The prince is now honoured with a shrine in the same place. It is a common belief that if two strangers have sex at the spot and finish the incomplete act of the honoured couple, blessings and a good fortune would be granted from Ontrowulan herself.>During the Pon Festival, an auspicious day on the Javanese calendar, pilgrims flock in large numbers to perform the ritual. First, prayers and offerings are made at the graves of the royal couple. Then, pilgrims bathe in the sacred waters of the hill. Every pilgrim must find a stranger and have sex with them on the hill and exchange contact details. The couple must then meet and have sex after every 35 days for seven times in total.I mean, blessings from Ontrowulan isn't something to be sniffed.
>>2834644I liked Batam, cheap 5-star resorts and lots of food catering to Singaporeans so you can have pretty good chili crab for 1/10th the price in Singapore.
>>2834644It's a shithole with Muzzies. The land is beautiful and was once ruled by the Dutch but those days are long over.
Indonesia seems comfy. Unlike flipland they have a lot of empires that lived and died in their islands. Their economy is growing very fast and it's likely going to be a major economic power within this century.
>>2834694>Medan is mostly ChristianNo wonder Medan is such a crime-ridden shithole, reputedly the least safe city in all of Southeast Asia. Christcucks and their forgiveness of sins bullshit, makes them think they can do whatever they want and it's all right as long as they repent.>>2834742Deep open gutters along roadsides are common in Malaysia as well. Asians don't idiot-proof their infrastructure like America does.>>2834671You obviously didn't get around to many places if you never had any transport issues.>>2834694The flavormaxxed cheap food gets tiring after a while. Your tastebuds and stomach starts craving real flavor made with herbs and quality ingredients.
