Just wondering....
Why u abroad or live in out Indonesia ?
and since when ?

I've been living in the Netherlands for 2 years. I still live with my parents, and they have work here, so I followed. So far so good, but I miss Indonesia like hell. How about you? Where do you live?

I live in just around Indonesia.... never abroad..
Now live in Bandung...

my ancestor move to MAlaysia thats y im in malaysia.....aku ni masih lagi indo nga??

So you're Indonesian by blood?

yes..may i know ur ethnicity???

testcubaanujian warganegara malaysia atau indonesia?

aku pun pening....aku warganegara kedua dua ajela... 2

ehh. mana boleh.
its either us (malaysia) or them (indonesia)....pilih!!
hehe. 2 gurau saja yah.

aku mengisytiharkan diri gwa MALINDO ....a Malaysian who has Indonesian blood.

wahhhh new word discovered by me ...this is the greatest discovery ever ...jeng jeng jeng.... 2

50% Javanese 50% Padangnese

I moved out of indonesia when i was like 4 or 5 as a result of the decision my old man made. My old man did economics at univeristy and he studied the indonesian economy. He made a predicition that one day the bubble was going to burst because the way indonesian economy was growing back when suharto was in power didnt align with what was being taught and the way a countries ecomonic structure should actually grow, so he said sh!t we better move overseas incase it does happen cause when it does, it will all be down hill.

My old man left us for like 4 months where he spent 2 months in canada and 2 months in aus to decide where to move, he goes screw canada to cold and to far so we moved to australia instead. I have been living in australia for 20 years.

Tell us how you like or dislike Australia, tell us about the people, the weather and all the stuff. Do you often get discriminated by race? How was life when you first moved to OZ? Were you able to speak English back then?

I love australia cause i grew up here and attribute alot of the things i have now because of it. There are things in australia that you know you will definitly miss when you live in indonesia. Thats the weather, the beaches, the fact that you can walk on the side of the road and there will be parks everywhere, no traffic jam and the stringent rules that are in place keep everything intact.

The people ... to tell you the truth I have never had a purely australian friend, all my friends are ethnic just like me but most of them moved wen they were 8,9,13 from their respective countries, some are overseas students, so for the most part i have been the one who has spent the most time in australia. But me and all my friends all have pure australian accents, very heavy 2 I have never ever been discriminated by race so its been good in that sense. The people here dont give a toss what you wear or the color of your skin unless you go to redneck land and there arent many of those people left around so there is quite a difference in mentality as well. Oh and it seems aussies are less keen on gossip then indonesians are.

The people are nice and relaxed but the funny thing is i just dont connect with the 'lets go to the pub for a beer mentality', lets sit around on a friday after work and chat about nothing, lets watch rugby leauge or lets watch the cricket, i just dont do any of that stuff thats probably why i dont have any australian friends.

When i first came i never remembered having to learn indonesian or english, i just remembered that when i got into kindergarten i could speak both indonesian and english. Maybe my parents spoke to me in both when i was younger but i never remembered a period where i had to learn either of the languages, i just got to know both of them.

Yep. When you're still a kid, it's easy to learn languages.
Australia sounds nice... I have this dream going to an architecture school in sidney (I really like architecture). My dad says they have good universities there, and best of all, it's close to Indonesia . I can visit Indonesia every holiday... not like in here I have to wait at least 2 years (or 1 year) to go back

I am a mix of both countries.. My father is Malaysian my mom is Indonesian.. I was born in Jakarta ( my birth cert is Indonesian ) but I was registered as a Malaysian citizen by my father.. moved to KL when I was around 3 & has lived in KL ever since.. My mom's family is still around in Jakarta.. I do go back when time permits.. usually during lebaran.. Im very proud of my Indonesian blood.. all my frens know me as this.. & they respect that.. I'd die defending thse two countries.. so tht makes me Melayu Nusantara.

I was born and raised in Indonesia, but have been living in Australia for the past four years studying..

my dad moved to Australia when he was 18. so it's my dads fault.

ur dad can see what sido's dad predicted maybe
glad to see u ppl still have some fond of the country
i went to study abroad to find out who am i and what i wanna be and some adventure

Born and raised in Australia mate! Anyone tell you that they don't like it here must not be getting out much or probaly haven't really seen Australia.

Because of work lah.. but I studied here before.

^ are there many indonesian students in eastern europe? i heard there are many indonesian students who got stranded there after being banned from returning to indonesia after the g30s/pki affair..

I heard that too.
I'm feel sorry for the fams, especially for the grandchildren who are not deserve a treatment like that




By the way, purp why u did'nt answer my question about what ur ethnic
But it's ok if u still don't want to answer that

well..i came to aussie when i was 3 yrs of age...i guess to find better opportunities.

what oppurtunities?


mau find cowok yang lebih tampan yach?

Mbak Gula kok bisa lancar banget boso jowonya? Di rumah ngomongnya bahasa jawa yah?

tau aja loe 2

nah man dat not the reason.. well my parents thought live will be better in aus i guess.. and more job opportunities also.



ora.. dih rumah kita pakeh bhs jkt... tapi my aunties and my grandmother speak jawa.. and when i was in indo i learnt some jawa words from listening to them talk..and also i still keep in contact with my friends in jawa .. and when they talk to me.. they speak jawa also.

My Parents(dad) Works in Singapore so I live here when i was Kindergarten until 6th grade I was at Cayman Islands

Well Im basically half Indo & was born in Jakarta. But my dad ( who is a Malaysian ) registered me as a Malaysian too & I came back to KL when I was around 3 - 4 & have been here ever since.

Your parents have made a good decision for the sake of your future.
