well, I live my life studying aspects of your life (development studies with an additional focus on South-East Asia), so this is 1st hand knowledge for me :D Also, our syllabus don't say much about Indonesia as its often overshadowed by the more assertive countries e.g. India/China, and I have unfortunately not had the pleasure of visiting yet - so I found this post both interesting and useful!

I'd love to hear about the election in 2019, - from your comment then it sounds a bit like it will be a make or break outcome?
Is it correct to assume that your reference to an Islamic country means the Sharia law?
Also, my impression is that the majority of Indonesian people are Muslim, but doesn't Indonesia have a lot of ethnic groups (similar to Vietnam/Philippines) ?

See, I know so little. I want to know all this :D !
