Transportation
The most common forms of transportation for short journeys in Indonesia are private cars, taxis, bemos (public minibusses), ojeks (motorbikes), and becaks (pedicabs). A rail network only exists on certain islands such as Java, where it is generally reliable and efficient. For longer journeys, domestic flights departing from most major cities tend to be quite affordable, but if you'd rather stay closer to land, boat rides can be a convenient means of island hopping.

People & Culture
The culture of Indonesia has been shaped by long interaction between original indigenous customs and multiple foreign influences. Indonesia is centrally-located along ancient trading routes between the Far East, South Asia, and the Middle East, resulting in many cultural practices being strongly influenced by a multitude of religions, including Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Christianity, all strong in the major trading cities. The result is a complex cultural mixture very different from the original indigenous cultures.
