Wildest Islands of Indonesia - Series 1 - Episode 2 of 5: Islands of the Monsoon

Wildest Islands of Indonesia: Series 1

The Wildest Islands of Indonesia showcases the beautiful Indonesian islands that remain a wild paradise of giant flowers and coral gardens, of dragons, tigers, giant apes and glorious birds of paradise. Fifteen percent of the entire world's species are found in this unique region. These islands not only harbour smaller animals, but also a unique species of elephant and a crab that measures almost a metre wide. This series explores the incredible wildlife of this extraordinary environment and reveals the remarkable ways in which life has been created, adapted and re-born over millions of years. These creatures have learnt to thrive and capitalise on some of the most powerful rainstorms on the planet, as well as uniquely adapt to the volcanic activity that constantly poses a threat to their existence.

As a Gothic, why do I like Indonesia?
I'm a foreign tourist who sees Indonesia from a different point of view because I'm Gothic, not about human civilization but Mother Nature and something that doesn't make sense. All of that is very clearly happening in Indonesia, I can explain.

NATURAL TOURISM.
It is undeniable, nature in Indonesia has been recorded throughout the history of European libraries for a long time. Such as the occurrence of natural phenomena Krakatoa, Tambora, Toba, Tsunami 2004 Aceh, Tsunami 2018 Sulawesi, Red Sky In Indonesia, Mud Volcanoes, Blue Fire, Lake Acid, Ancient Pyramids in Indonesia, Megachile Pluto, Birds Paradise Papua, Earthquake Bali, Airplane Crash In Indonesia and others. In fact, nature in Indonesia has a different and unique level. Very beautiful and deadly, even natural disasters can have an impact on other countries. Nature tourism in Indonesia is like a painting or display on a desktop screen. Nature tourism in Indonesia is no longer in doubt, has more value.

Indonesia has no less than 500 volcanoes (active, inactive and underwater no less than 500 in total) even Indonesia has more than 70, 000 rivers, not yet lakes, caves, beaches, waterfalls, mountains, forests and others. To be honest, going to Indonesia is not cheap if you visit more than millions of natural tourist attractions throughout Indonesia.

Each country has different characteristics, for Indonesia the natural characteristics it has include being very beautiful and charming but very cruel. This is the actual context of the phrase "DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS". Indonesia represents what is happening in the world, life is not always happy there are times when you live with sadness.

I talk about nature, I really like Indonesia because nature in Indonesia very strong, different, unique and plays a role. Even UNESCO places tourism in Indonesia as an International GeoPark. Tourist attractions in Indonesia are mostly created by nature, not man-made. This is special.

Traveling to the queen of nature (Indonesia) will get very valuable memories for a lifetime, because traveling to Indonesia is not about parties/honeymoons but about meaning in real life. Will be tired, sad, happy, satisfied, amazed, worried, angry, disappointed, laughing and others. It will all be one.

The number of natural disasters in Indonesia from 2016 to 2020 was 17, 032 events. That's a 5 year calculation, What if the total is from 1800s - 2022? Could be more. In fact, the most earthquakes in the world are not Japan or Chile, but Indonesia. Not only that, hurricanes, tsunamis, landslides, floods, eruptions and others. This is no joke.

"The more beautiful you look, the more dangerous you are". This sentence represents Queen Mother Nature in Indonesia who often rages but is actually very loving because we can see the uniqueness of many tourist attractions in Indonesia. I'm talking about all regions in Indonesia from West to East, even Indonesia is divided into 3 different time zones. I saw for myself the natural tourist spots written in history books in Europe (About major natural disasters and the most in Indonesia) It turns out that the mastermind behind the world's major disasters is nature in Indonesia and it's not just one event, but many.

In fact, I experienced unnatural events in Indonesia (as many as 4 times), it is difficult for me to explain because at that time it was completely beyond human understanding. Do not go alone at night to the forest, mountains or caves in Indonesia. I'm just reminding, I'm afraid that something will happen that doesn't make sense. I'm talk about Mother Nature in Indonesia not man-made, because nature in Indonesia is real not CGI or System Computer.

In other words, the Queen of Mother Nature in Indonesia has a very beautiful and unique figure, but if she has woken up from her sleep, don't ever approach her. Then the Queen will be very terrible and rampage. The Queen Mother Earth in Indonesia is very different. This is not a joke, because there are so many victims of every natural disaster in Indonesia that has occurred. I went to visit Indonesia at that time to its natural attractions as well as learn about the Queen of Mother Nature.
(Indonesia is the throne Queen Mother Nature not man-made).

Indonesia is also like a maze, because there are so many tourist attractions. So find it in their own way, because every tourist to Indonesia has a different experience. I saved for 3 years to visit Indonesia, so I have more preparation in terms of finance. Because there are millions of tourist attractions that can be visited, just imagine that in 1 city there are more than dozens of tourist attractions.

When I think of nature in Indonesia, for some reason I connect to a song Within - Mother Earth, Enomine - Heilig and Wardruna - Kvitravn (It's a song from a band in Europe). Because 10/10.

Love Indonesia. Got there the first time in 1987 by boat from . Malaysia to Medan the jungles were beautiful and seeing lake Toba . Seeing half the island . Now in 2016 again from Malaysia by ferry half way Sumatra . I cycled all the way down the bottom and to java. Sadly he said that Indonesia is covered two thirds in jungle. I don’t believe that maybe wen this movie was made but the half of Sumatra I saw was mostly planted in palm oil palms. And going on google earth fast places in Borneo as well.
I still love Indonesia. Maybe wen we are gone the forest comes back again in a few hundred years.
