being global villager

the reason why I choose this blog in english text is :
First, I decide to be global villagers, its mean I want to transmit my idea, my expression, my opinion or any word else (but please, understand my lack in english!) for the another global villager abroad the world.

Second, Consider about 'stupid idea' bout gathering a buck pocket from about google adsense. Poor me, that 'machine of money' unvailable in my language, Indonesia. Yups, that true my homeland, Indonesia is called the third wolrd. So, dear world, I belive most of you don't even hear about this country. The real village, real place, I stand is a land that occupy as Indonesia country.

Third, in contrary to my existance as indonsian poepole, e poor country, I realize that not much people know exactly bout my country. It's such beutifull place where the tropical forest still exist (althought it's now threaten by illegal loging)
