I love this! After we left Australia, I also wrote a love letter. Some places you just connect with right from the moment you get off the plane. I love when I find those places!

Ian, thanks for you comment, but I don’t know why you think we just went to Jogja and Bali. In fact, we skipped Bali and we spent seven weeks between Papua, Sulawesi, and all of Java. And I was in Jogja for only three days.

Haha! This letter is brilliant. It had me laughing out loud in quite a few places, and yet still manages to capture your love for the place. Well done! I hope your relationship lasts.

thanks for your lovely letter! me as an indonesian and am so touched with your letter.

just some more advice for you: indonesia is not just all about bali and jogja (you seemed to just have visited those two cities). there are ample of beautiful places here like semarang, garut, bandung, jakarta, lampung, medan, maluku, and more and more

sampai jumpa di indonesia

One of the best love stories I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading! I’ve never been to Indonesia but your love for this country came through loud and clear in your writing. Felt like I was there!

I LOVE this. It is INCREDIBLY spot on.

I really, really want to go back. I miss Indo.

Noone here offers to have you stay at their house with aunts and cousins and grannies all over the place. Noone obsesively asks “Sendiri?” here, or yells “Shantik” as you go by.. I even miss nasi goreng! and Bintang.

Boohooo

Im glad your still there though. You are my link.
