Indonesia tanah air beta....

It seems that numbers are not important in our country. Before I went to Japan in 1998, I had no idea about statistical numbers of Indonesia such as population, area, percentage of this and that, average income per year.... People who met me the first time asked me a lot about these numbers. They mostly wanted to know how big Indonesia is. First I thought that they wanted some numbers with square kilometers at the end... but I was wrong. What they needed to know was the population... so, numbers and millions people at the end.

Later I found out that Indonesia has 200 millions people. It really helped me when I met new people and introduced my self and my country. So I kept using this number until today. And guess what I found in the internet just before. A new number popped out! It's 241,973,879 estimated in July 2005 !! Very recent. And if you want to know facts about Indonesia, I highly recommend you this link. Simply click the title, you'll find many interesting figures, including sex ratio :D for my Indonesian friends who are looking for their soulmates....
