Land of opportunity

Land of opportunity

Some people see In Indonesia a land of great natural beauty, others prefer to see there only the unrest and instability of a young nation, but I like to think of it as a land of opportunity—opportunity not only for the Indonesians themselves but also for her more fortunate neighbour, Australia. Australians have now a great chance to befriend and assist this young nation, culturally centuries old, but sadly lacking trained personnel and technical knowledge. That is why I hope to return to Indonesia soon.
