Indonesia, the land of many islands, is geographically unique. The land area, of almost 2,000,000 square kilometres, is made up of a myriad of islands : Kilimantan; the second largest in the world, Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, Irian Jaya, the famous Bali and many other islands, some barely the size of a city square, dispersed along the equator, stretching from Sabang to Meranke. Indonesia is an exciting blend of Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Chinese and Dutch cultures.
