I’ve decided to pick up once a week a blog on indonesia written by Indonesian blogger, starting from now (thursday, 14 July 2005). My picks are based on my search on technorati.com. My aim is so simple: to help promoting to the world news and reports on indonesia written by indonesian bloggers and to encourage them to write more on english.
Some short minded people with their pseudo-nationalism argue that blogging in english just “un-patriotic” which is blatantly wrong and misnomer in my opinion. rather than discouraging the indonesian blogger who blogs in english, they should encourage them or keep their mouth shut.
My pick this week is Eko Juniarto’s blog.[1] he’s blogging with a very good english and with quality content too. i hope he continues to blog in english and i encourage any bloggers, indonesian or foreigners to visit his blog to know more about indonesia and indonesian culture and its way of thinking.
