Good news!!!
Batik that has been claimed by many countries as a part of their culture is on October 2nd going to be announced by UNESCO as one of Indonesian heritage. It's about time the International world acts and helps Indonesia in preserving and claiming our cultures and heritages.
I hope this will be a start for the International world and most especially Indonesian government not just to sit on their asses and wait until other countries start claiming our heritages, again. Sometimes I wish our government would be more strict and determine to all those countries that always look down on us. We ARE a great nation and country From Sabang till Merauke, we're rich in both culture and natural resources. Indonesia has always been famous with it selected culture, like Bali, now we need to expose more. More development in the tourists destinations, raise more awareness for the people to help keep this beautiful country of us clean and peaceful.
Merdeka!!!
