I should learn some #Malay songs.

Just so that the next time someone in #Indonesia sings a #Hindi song because they think I'll like that, I can sing my favorite " #Indonesian" song in return 😜

It seems that the #Telugu & #SouthIndian film wave hasn't reached #Indonesia?

When people refuse to accept me as an American, the Indian films/stars/songs they reference and I assume I know are always some #Bollywood ones I've never seen.

Asia’s economic growth in 2025 was sluggish, central banks acted cautiously amid low inflation and political pressures and the full impact of U.S. tariffs and policy choices will become clearer in 2026. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/25/world/2025-easy-money-defined-asia/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #monetarypolice #inflation #us #asia #china #thailand #indonesia #australia #govkazuoueda #boj

LOOK AT THIS AND DON'T LOOK AWAY! This is what #palmoil and #gold #mining #greed looks like in #Indonesia right now.

#KualaLumpur could actually learn a lot from #Jakarta's much improved transit system. While it still has a long way to go, it's far more usable and better connected, and the walkability around the #MRT stations is quite well done.

I would even say that, now, central Jakarta #Indonesia has nicer sidewalks than central #KL #Malaysia

The Association of Medical Doctors of Asia, based in the city of Okayama, sent a medical team earlier this month to Aceh Tamiang on northern Sumatra in Indonesia, where deadly floods have caused heavy damage. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/23/japan/society/ngo-medical-aid-indonesia/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #society #indonesia #ngo #health #mentalhealth #floods

One of my early memories is hearing the #Islamic call for prayer in #Hyderabad #India and how beautiful it was, a morning symphony of beautiful singing and chanting, likely much the same as it has been for centuries.

I've never, once, had an experience like that in #Indonesia because of the insistence of #Mosques here to use loudspeakers & compete with each other on noise.

Forgot that #DuckDuckGo is blocked in #Indonesia.

Decades of industrial land clearing in northern Sumatra, Indonesia, may have turned an unusual storm into a catastrophe. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/16/asia-pacific/society/indonesia-cyclone-flood-survivors/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #society #indonesia #floods #typhoons #cyclonesenyar #subiantoprabowo #disasterpreparedness #landslides

Indonesia is resisting U.S. trade deal demands that it fears would restrain its independence, particularly in critical minerals and energy that risk its relations with China and Russia. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/12/11/economy/trump-mining-china-indonesia-trade/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #economy #indonesia #us #donaldtrump #trade #china #tariffs #southeastasia #mining

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1975, immediately after a visit by US Pres. Ford and #HenryKissinger, the #FarRight #Suharto dictatorship in #Indonesia invaded former Portuguese colony #EastTimor. A #genocide, and 24 years of #occupation, followed; a fifth of the population was killed.
