A rainbow. They won't be beautiful if only one colour. They're beautiful because of its difference.

INDONESIA | Wednesday, 30 April 2014 | Views [181] | Scholarship Entry

I live in Indonesia. Because of my daddy's job, i moved to some cities in this country. Everybody knew that Indonesia has so many culture, but there is a thing deeper than a word "many" in "many culture". In my first day of my first moved, i know that i need a translator! Even you're in your country, there is a big possibility that you can't understand what peoples are saying if you moved to some city here. We got our first "many", it's many languages.

I was born in Cianjur city. Every peoples is similar, we are malay race, we are indigenous. I moved to another islands in Indonesia and i met so many peoples, they're chinese, they're black race, and they're indigenous. For example, my mommy comes from south sumatra and she looks like chinese. My daddy comes from north sumatra and he looks like malay. My friends in university comes from papua and she looks like black race. They are pure Indonesian. Then, we got our second "many". It's many races.

I live in a religious country, every peoples here should believe a religion. We have many religious holidays, and everybody get it, no matter what is your religion. We talk openly about our own religion, play together, make relationship. If another peoples make relationship peacefully without think over their religion. Indonesian peoples make relationship because they respect to another religion. We found our third "many" here. Many respect of religious differences

Indonesia is mega-biodiversity country, we have so many excursion place. For example, bali islands, lombok islands, or raja ampat beach in papua island. I ever went to Lembah Anai waterfalls in West Sumatra, beautiful place. For the first time, i'm not interesting enough because it's too cold outside. But when i went to the waterfalls, deep breathing, and i know it's a good meditation. I can play with the cold water and because of its clearness i can found my feet under water. Around the waterfalls, there are many old trees and its occupant, monkeys!. I gave them some breads and fruit, they are afraid of peoples but can take your food fastly. It's a good choice of travelling because all of the way you won't find one excursion. Every sides of west sumatra had it!. We got our fourth "many", it's many diversity.

There is an "a" in every "many", but there will only one binder for lot of difference. And i called Indonesia.
