INDONESIA

Indonesia has more than 17504 islands with few major ones, such as Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Maluku, Papua and Java Island, surrounded by a "ring of fire" with 400 volcano which 130 are still active.

Indonesia has a population of more than 240.000.000 inhabitants with many different cultures from 1128 ethnics which live in 33 province.

There are many beautiful places to visit, such as Lake Toba in Sumatra, Tana Toraja in Sulawesi, or an adventure to see the "one horn" Javanese Rhino (Rhinoceros sandalicus) in Ujung Kulon National Park, West Java. Visit the Borobudur Buddhis Temple, one of the Unesco WHS in Yogyakarta, or see the famous Dragon Komodo (Varanus komodoensis) well known as the largest lizard in the world. Or even hick and climb Jayakesuma peak (Carstenz Pyramid) 4884 m, one of the Seven Summit mountains in the snowy Jayawijaya highlands, Papua, or another adventure to the hinterlands of Kalimantan island, and last but not least see the exotic Bali island.

You can see all those beautiful places, wildlife, people, art and culture in many Indonesian stamps, so just send me a mail and we can exchange covers, stamps or postcards.
