Top Indonesia Blogs in English

Here’s the list of Top English speaking blogs on Indonesia written by Indonesian bloggers or non-Indonesian (expats) who stay in Indonesia. The list is focused on English-speaking blogs which discuss about Indonesia’s (a) current events or socio-cultural viewpoint as the main topics and, no less important, are (b) regularly updated.

Any non-Indonesian who wants to know Indonesia’s culture, custom and current event commentary with a blogosphere style can find this list useful. For the latest news on Indonesia, you can visit   Indonesia’s Media in English.

I’ll update the list once I have the time to blogwalk and find other useful blogs which fit the two criteria above. You may recommend one including your own blog in the comment box. Any blog which is not updated for one month will be removed from the list.
