Everything about pictures

Do you want to see the picture of contradiction? Pay a visit to Jakarta, Indonesia. Stay in a hotel which you think it is free from blowing up efforts. Can you find one? Of course you can, and the safe place is available everywhere as long as you believe it is. And soon, when you feel like home, you'll see that everyday is party in Indonesia!

Every foreigner accustomed to Indonesian culture may assume that it’s gone too far with the travel warning soaring to the globe by the international community. A few of them interviewed by a local TV after the July 17 Jakarta’s bomb blast, in fact, said, they would not leave the country which they have been getting along well.

Yes, everything about the picture of contradiction regarding with the real condition of the country is here if you care to discover. While the country hasn't successfully set itself free from crises; poverty here and there and unemployment is annoying, some excessive lifestyle propagandized by the media pay a visit to everybody's home.

Nothing seems to stop Indonesia from the progressive change of culture. Not even a Tsunami or a series of shocking bomb blasts. As everyday is party at home--yes nearly 24 hours of TV program competition; from a series of live show of music programs in the morning to the other kinds of live shows at prime time. No wonder, TV shows turn to be a mock to the conservative.

It is common to find dropout school children or some lazy gadabouts, as soon as they wake up, will be spending most of their time talking on the mobile phone and get themselves entertained by their parent's TV without a fear of becoming broke --home sweet home. Thanks to the the promising trick and opportunity the phone cellular providers give to this country.

Is it too naive to say that Indonesians never realize that actually they are prone to be blowing ourselves up by doing such a thing? Partying is everybody's right, what's a big deal?

Big as it is as the predominant Muslim country, such a phenomenon is quite ironic. What an impact! The ulemas and clerics, what can they do unless deliver a speech. Yes, while they keep talking about moral, those listening to them, keep thinking that the sermon is merely a part of show.
