Indonesian Culture

Introduction to Indonesia
Indonesia is the biggest archipelago country in the world. Indonesia has more than 17,000 islands, of which only about 7,000 are inhabited. Kalimantan, Java, Sulawesi, Sumatra and Papua are the main islands in Indonesia. The capital city
of Indonesia is Jakarta, which is located on the island of Java. Geographically, the Indonesian archipelago is located between 5° 54' 08' North Latitude to 11° 08' 20' East Longitude and 95° 00'38" to 141° 01'12" East Longitude. Some
islands are located on the equator. Therefore, day and night have almost the same time, which is 12 hours. “Bhinneka Tunggal Ika” which means “diverse but one” is the symbol of the Republic of Indonesia. This logo depicts a pluralistic
but still one Indonesian society, which is also a way of life for the Indonesian people. Indonesia's population is estimated at 270 million, the world's fourth most populous country and the largest Muslim-majority country.
